When in the area around City Park, go check out @charmantnola , newly opened in the former home of MoPho.

Brunch, happy hour and dinner — more to come on this place, but here’s a quick look at a really lovely brunch.

Avocado and gravlax toast, nicely layered

Fried brussels sprouts that finally got me interested in fried brussels sprouts again, with a base of cardamom yogurt, lima beans, sourdough croutons, lots of cheese

Croque madame sandwich

And the Phomo - a tribute to MoPho, essentially grillades and grits rendered with star anise-braised short rib, rice grits and bean sprout salad under an egg.

Espresso martini because, coffee
