Who would’ve thought witch restaurant with a speakeasy vibe right off Bourbon Street would feel absolutely genuine?

Cristina Quackenbush did, and she rolled her identity as a witch together with her reputation as a master of her native Filipino flavors for @tatlonola .

But now Tatlo is counting down its final days, set to close July 27.

The late-night restaurant and absinthe bar (tagline: “for the bewitched and hex curious’) has been popular, drawing a large local following.

But expenses of running the business in its current location have become untenable, the chef said. A future location elsewhere is a possibility she’s now exploring.

“Tatlo was born from a desire to create something sacred — a space that honored women, Filipino culture, spiritual curiosity and the art of gathering with intention,” the chef told me.

You have a week and change to try it in its current incarnation.

Meanwhile, her popup @milkfishnola and @kusinanola are collaborating on events, including communal kamayan dinners.
