Bennachin Restaurant is a must for those in search of native African cuisine. The warm and homely ambience and the friendly staff welcomes you as you prepare for an adventurous culinary trail. Walk in to find fresh, healthy meat and fish bursting with extravagant flavors. The lentil soup and the black-eyed pea fritters are delicious. Native wonders like shrimp Creole and African jambalaya are have a rich and authentic taste. The place is not hugely popular with the vegetarians but there are a few interesting selections among the limited items on offer.

Funky Butt at Congo Square

Jazz and blues club 714 North Rampart Street
New Orleans, LA 70130
United States
+1 504 558 0872
info@funkybutt.com Due to the damage caused by Hurricane Katrina, the following description may no longer be accurate. Please consider this when making your travel plans.

This off-the-beaten-path jazz and blues club is only three blocks from Bourbon Street, but it seems a world apart. With a swank atmosphere that is smooth and laid back, it is comparable to the clubs of the '20s and '30s. A complete bar and food service are included in the art-deco interior dining room and lounge. The Spicy Creole Gumbo, made with chicken, shrimp, crab and sausage, is arguably one of the best in the city. Other menu favorites include Herb Garlic Pasta, Shrimp with sauteed vegetables and Falafel and Hummus platter. As for drinks, try the Funky Butt Juice. The cover charge varies by performance.
