What had me talking about @lemoynebistronola after this meal is how it feels traditionally French but also has its own personality.
It felt like a portal to France on a quiet summer night in downtown New Orleans.
They have a very enticing #Coolinary menu in August (3 courses, $55) but there was too much else I wanted to try so we went for the regular menu.
Link in my bio has the full read , here are highlights
The house made bread and cultured butter to start.
Jimmy Nardello peppers, singing of summer, a special, mild, fruity, tasty red peppers - named for the guy who brought the seeds over, I learned.
Steak tartare with horseradish and chile oil
Pate de campagne , worth a visit over a glass of wine at the bar on its own
Tuna Niçoise, more a fish entree with salad accoutrements than a salad per se
Short rib carbonnade with a sauce that commanded more of the bread back to swipe
Black eyed pea cassoulet on the side, a subtle touch of the South, that still felt very French
Cake with black tea caramel and roasted pineapple ice cream
Deep wine list, excellent service. I was very happy to finally get back to this place. It should be on your list
