 Cool Alfresco |
620 Rue Chartres New Orleans, LA 70130 United States +1 504 523 3005 http://www.thealpinebistro.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. You haven't got the real taste of French Quarter if you have not been to Alpine Bistro, located in one of the oldest buildings. This cool and quaint joint serves cajun and creole dishes like never before. The beautiful water-fountain in the huge courtyard is perfect for a cozy twosome. Clamor for the barbecue shrimp with salad and French bread, gator sausage, broiled crawfish and gumbo! Chatty waiters entertain you as you enjoy poached eggs atop an English muffin, topped with Hollandaise with creamed spinach. Don't pass up on this one! Review © 2007, Wcities |

Small-scale international cuisine |
Hotel Maison de Ville, 733 Toulouse Street New Orleans, LA 70130 United States +1 504 561 5858 http://www.maisondeville.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.

The menu changes regularly and offers, when available, pan-seared Sonoma Foie Gras with grilled apples, and in the fall, berry chutney that melts in your mouth. Other entrees include smoked duck breast with sun-dried cherry reduction and ravioli stuffed with grilled quail, pine nuts, currants and chevre. They also offer a Creme Brulee that is second to none.

French cuisine |

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 sister restaurant to Charley G's in Metairie is located in the central business district and serves fantastic bistro style cuisine. This contemporary French bistro offers Southern warmth and upscale decor.

Start with the Salade Nicoise and move to something more filling such as the double cut pork chops, Burgundian Beef Stew, or Duck Confit. Should you be in the mood for seafood, try the grilled fish accompanied by the Creole stewed corn and frizzle of sweet potato. Review © 2007, Wcities |
