I'm so confused about the reviews. Bourrée is... awesome. To enter, you step inside an enchanted courtyard with industrial wire spools repurposed as smart outdoor tables. There is both covered and exposed seating, however all of the seating is beneath the canopy of an elder oak tree. The landscaping is carefully homegrown with beautiful greenery and pretty flowering shrubs to greet you upon arrival. There's also a stage where you can enjoy live music. Once inside, you're greeted by welcoming staff who are proud of what they serve. The interior is modest, with nice rustic carpentry. Bourrée is to Boucherie as Cochon Butcher is to Cochon. It's a wing and daiquiri spot, but the wings are natural (read: smaller than the hormonal wings we're used to) and the daiquiris are dry, just the way I like them. Mr. Tea is my favorite of their daiquiris because sugar isn't the first thing I taste, instead I'm actually getting that antioxidental brewed tea flavor. Never thought I'd want that from a daiquiri, but as it turns out, I do. Their fries are some of my favorite in the city: shoestringy with crispy ends, the skin still on, salty, and plentiful. We also love their version of fried Brussels sprouts which taste of maple-citrus with bites of Tasso mixed in for good measure. My only gripe was with the jerk wings which didn't taste of jerk, just spicy. And if I'm being honest, the wings aren't the best of what they offer. They make everything in house with quality standards as high as Boucherie.

My receipt for my meal.

I paid for a meal at Bourree and then posted this review but somehow Yelp keeps flagging and deleting my review even though I have attached a photo of my receipt proving that I'm reviewing an experience I paid for. This is also not to mention that I have been eating the food at Bourree for decades and I have a far longer experience in the area than Yelp has been in existence. Perhaps someone with actual reading comprehension can look at this review without deleting it AGAIN. Bourree Cajun Smokehouse is an expansion of Chef Nathanial Zimet's Boucherie Restaurant which is right at the end of the block and around the corner. The building that Bourree is currently in was an Italian restaurant for a long time that opened back in the 90's called Café Nino that was run by the owner Chef Nino who was a fantastic fellow. Café Nino was a cash only dive joint where you selected from the daily entrees on display in a cafeteria style buffet and they also had pizza. So I always have a hard time adjusting to the fact that this spot is no longer Café Nino but is now Bourree. Now I have been eating the 12 Hour Roast Beef Po'Boy with horseradish cream & pickled red onion from Chef Zimet ever since he started selling it out of his purple food truck and at many of the local festivals. These days the only festival where they still sell their food is at the Oak Street Po-Boy Festival. So if you find yourself in the mood for a fantastic 12 hour roast beef po boy on Dong Phong banh mi bread this is the spot to get it! They also have some nice daquirie and beer options here. They also offer live music at certain times of the week so make sure to check their schedule for that. There are tables inside but they don't have a lot of space inside and the majority of their seating is located in front on their wonderful outdoor patio area. The menu is a bit concise here but they do have some nice items on offer here. This is also a great venue for events and I recently attended a nice one here. Overall this is a nice spot located in a beautiful area of the Riverbend right off St. Charles Avenue and is certainly worth checking out!

Beef Fat Fries. Great seasoning.

So I wanted to like it. I ignored the recent 1 star reviews because I wanted a roast beef poboy. Unfortunately they were accurate. It seems like they keep the roast beef soaking in the horseradish sauce. The beef tallow fries earned them a second star. Whatever they used to do with the food to get 5 star reviews, they need to go back to that. The service was good, but the restaurant could use a good cleaning.

Bourée is a quaint little smokehouse tucked away inside a gated garden. The atmosphere is fantastic, particularly on days pretty enough to take advantage of the large amount of outdoor space. I want to counter some reviews I see calling the place dirty. I've never seen it dirty. This is New Orleans. The building is old. Old does not mean dirty. It's a smokehouse that will remind you of a New Orleans dive bar inside. The daiquiris are not traditional, but they are good. They aren't 50% simple syrup and 50% liquor like New Orleans Original. The tea based daiquiri does taste like tea. If you're looking to get messed up before going out, it probably isn't for you. If you want a classy tasty take on a daiquiri, you won't be disappointed. Everyone is always friendly and welcoming, and orders come out quickly.

Cute little spot!!! They have amazing meat pies served with a side of crema!!! So amazing. One guy working when we visited so by the time we left he was swamped! 2 of the 3 frozen daiquiri machines weren't working, so Mr. Tea Time it was!!! All made to order stuff, so be prepared for a wait depending on what's ordered. Great stop on our trolley tour.

We went here on a Monday and arrived as it opened. One soul manned the counter and although out of quite a bit- made us a fabulous lunch. The weather was wonderful and we were able to sit outside while we ate and had a drink.

I love the outdoor space and delish daiquiris! The brussel sprouts were some of the best I've had too! Service was also great!

Really fun and relaxed barbecue place, perfect for takeout in the summer and great for picnic table dining when it's cooler. Really liked the bbq nachos and the barbecue pork sandwich. Nicely smoked meat, sauce that complements the meat. Decent selection of brews. You order up front and the food is delivered to your table. Casual and laid-back vibe.

I had seen some news about them at some point, I love chicken wings, and it looked good. It's take out only. Not much to see besides the menu and the pictures of Adam and some other dudes. You can see the kitchen, little shotgun style place. I asked some questions about the sauce heat levels and ordered what he equated to medium regular buffalo I think. The names are strange to me. Just say Buffalo!!! Ugh. The wings were flavored very well, I liked the sauce a lot. The fries had a nice seasoning on them as well. The packaging absolutely ruined the food. It was all soaked when I opened it. That really sucked. It was about a 15 minute ride. They packed it in a wax lined, fully sealed box, similar to an Asian food box. It simply steamed the food while I drove. Bad move guys. I could not even eat the fries, they were just mush. Wings had a slight crispness in some spots after I left them open for 20 mins or so to dehydrate. As I said, the sauce was great so I did eat the wings. The wings are probably really good I bet if they were not ruined by the packing. 3 stars for the flavor. '26 - 96

She was very sweet and accommodating, promising that when my team came on she would make sure the TV was on that channel. Three hours waiting, remember? She kept checking on my party and getting us more drinks and water. Then a blonde bartender arrived and she was so obnoxious we almost left before our game started. She was so loud and every word out of her loud mouth was the F word...cursing and yelling - just "normal" tone for her we soon realized. She then told her boyfriend who popped in at the bar that he could have that TV for the game he wanted to watch. Ugh. We reminded the brunette about her promise, and she apologized like she was afraid to ask the blonde. They were the only ones attending bar. The power dynamic was obvious. Even with several TVs showing football games in this tiny bar, that blonde was the loudest. A yin and yang day for sure.

The fried chicken was the star--served hot and fresh, perfectly crispy on the outside, and incredibly juicy on the inside. Just good, classic Southern fried chicken done right. The sides were great, but the fried green tomatoes are a MUST. They were fresh, crispy, flavorful, and had the perfect crunch without being greasy. This was also my first time ever trying chess pie, and WOW! It was absolutely to die for--rich, sweet, buttery, and the perfect ending to the meal. The service was friendly and welcoming, and everything came out fresh. Sometimes the best food spots are the ones you just happen to stumble upon. Great fried chicken, delicious sides, amazing chess pie, and friendly service. Definitely a 5-star New Orleans stop!

They also have misting fans out there to manage the discomfort. You can smell the place from a block away. It's neat to be at a place surrounded by historic homes and old oak trees. Now onto the food. I got the 3 Meat Plate with Brisket, Ribs, and Pulled Pork. I've been smoking and eating Texas style meats for 25+ years, so I'm a bit of an admitted BBQ snob. The brisket was cooked perfectly. Not overwhelmingly Smokey, very tender, and still juicy. The ribs were a bit of a disappointment since they were overcooked and had a leathery texture. The flavor was incredible, just the texture was off. I wasn't upset though...it happens. The Pulled Pork was still very moist and easy to eat. The sides were very good also. The Beef Fat Tater Tots had a great texture and a Smokey flavor that I suspect came from a paprika based spice blend on them. The potato salad had great texture, but was very onion forward, so be aware if that is not your thing. My wife got the brisket plate, but got the lean cut from the flat of the brisket. It was still tender and moist. Her Roasted Garlic Mac-n-Cheese and Brussel Sprout sides gave me envy...they were both absolutely delicious! This place also has unique BBQ sauces. They have a house sauce which is a sweet sauce much like you might buy of any grocery store shelf, but better. They also had a Carolina style and a Jerk style BBQ sauce, which ended up being my favorite and was an unexpected surprise. It was a perfect companion for the pulled pork in particular. I gave the entire experience a 4 out of 5. Very solid lunch option. If you're in N.O. and aren't looking for seafood...give them a try.
