    French onion soup
    Jessica L.

    We enjoyed the fun, elegant vibes of this little restaurant. We had a reservation, which I recommend as they are busy. It was fairly easy to find street parking when during a busy time (Mardi Gras week). The escargot and French onion soup were very good.

    Vichyssoise
    Jordan L.

    It's been a while since I've been here. I've always enjoyed it in the past. The ambiance is beautiful during the cooler months with the plastic flaps opened up. Decided to stop by for a quick lunch and try their coolinary menu. Got the onion soup to start because can't visit without it. This was not on the coolinary menu. It was as good as I remembered. They brought out some bread and butter to dip with it great start. Coolinary did menu did the Vichyssoise and Veal Viennoise. One of the reasons I wanted to go was the Vichyssoise always wanted to try it. It's a great refreshing summer cold soup. Shouldn't have waited so long to try it. The Veal Viennoise was also good. Veal came out perfect. The pasta was interesting. Had the nice salty kick from the capers, cheesy, and had a hint of citrus maybe. That's what my taste buds thought anyway. Drink special was 6 bucks for a sazerac so had to order one. It was pretty decent. Wasn't mad at it for a 6 dollar sazerac. Overall good experience took a while to get the check even though they weren't super busy, but maybe they were short on a week lunch. Nothing to keep me from coming back.

    Decided to go to a Coolinary lunch on a day off and our last trip there was a few years ago, so it was time to head back! Our reservation was for opening time and we were quickly seated once they opened the doors. I opted for a glass of sparkling wine they had as an add on for Coolinary, a French onion soup (not on the Coolinary menu but a favorite of ours), Vichyssoise, and veal viennoise. The French onion soup is perfect! The vichyssoise was chilled leek and potato soup and was very refreshing. The veal viennoise was not my favorite. The veal was cooked perfectly but there was something in the accompanying pasta that I couldn't pinpoint but it bothered me. Service is good but it took quite a while to get the check, so if you need to have a quick lunch I'd select another restaurant

    The bread is amazing (we ate all of it). Veal with grits, and onion soup were awesome as well. Service was attentive and friendly.

    Salad with fried oysters
    Don T.

    We have already heard about this restaurant, but we have never tried it. We finally had a chance to try it. It was really good. I had the salad with the fried oysters. My husband had an omelette and a cup of french onion soup. Everything was very tasty. The service was great. We sat on the open patio which was not hot because they had fans going throughout the area. We will definitely go back.

    Redfish on a bed of asparagus, bokchoy and pesto sauce
    Aniya A.

    Found this french-esque cafe while walking down the street. Its very artsy and feels like the restaurant was built amongst a tree house. For appetizer, ordered the shrimp and grits which was cooked in this delicious flavorful sauce with red peppers. A good portion for an appetizer for sure. Not a grits fan but they weren't nasty! I ordered the redfish which was served on a bed of asparagus and bok choy. Blackened redfish was done well, however, I would have preferred a different pairing of vegetables to complement the taste of the fish. Also ordered the cheese board + fruit which was assorted with 2 cheeses. It was a decent pairing, but lack of attention to detail as some of the fruit was not visibly as fresh. I would recommend this for a cute brunch with friends or a late night cozy dinner. Service was great, staff is really friendly.

    Great food. Great service. From the specials menu I had " puppy drum" which is slang for a small redfish ( under 10 pounds). My fillet was fresh and perfectly cooked. As an avid fisherman I can attest that the fish was freshly caught. My wife has the Salad Nicoise and the yellowfin tuna was cooked perfectly. The service was exceptional and Chad our server knew every ingredient and how things were cooked. A great value. Wish they had this place in Connecticut!!!

    Romantic indoor/outdoor ambiance is a staple
    Gabriel N.

    One of the most romantic restaurants in New Orleans. The indoor/outdoor seating is varied in its feel and vistas. It does feel like an eclectic Parisian restaurant. The cocktails are excellent, and the wine selection is quite good. Escargot are a favorite and come out sizzling in garlic butter with sliced house baguette. The cheese plate has of late been reduced to just a couple, albeit delicious, cheeses. The French onion soup is consistently excellent. The salads are usually on point, however at my last visit the leaves were somewhat wilted. As for the mains - the skilled chefs know to cook on point - making delicious lamb chops, steak and gulf fishes. The dessert menu is varied and is well accompanied by the coffees and after dinner drinks. Service is professional; sometimes hurried. Overall a beautiful and magical experience, especially if you partake in various courses.

    Underrated Cognac
    William S.

    This is quickly becoming my new favorite getaway. They serve one of the best espresso martinis in the city, hands down. The bartender even introduced me to a cognac I'd always seen but never tried and it was amazing. The boudin noir was magnificent, and the escargot was Perfecto! A small, cozy, and intimate restaurant that I highly recommend.

    Tenderloin
    Connie C.

    New menu items! Veal with house made fettuccine. Tenderloin with mashed potatoes and roasted carrots. Get the Coolinary which comes with appetizer choice and warm pear tart/ice cream for very reasonable price.

    French Onion Soup
    Rheall R.

    Went here with a group of 7 and were seated right away which was great, our group was a little hung over due to the new year festivities but most of us were excited about the restaurant and our lunch. I was most excited about the French onion soup and it did not disappoint, see photo above. As a group we had a variety of things; mussels, raviolis, blood pudding, quail and shrimp. Apologies for no additional photos got a bit excited. Overall, the mussels, shrimp and raviolis were the bigger hits. If you are in the museum district I would recommend and try their regular or seasonal menu.

    Service: Went to Two Chicks Café with my friend for brunch…read more Parking was a bit hard to find, and we had to wait about 20 minutes in line for a seat, but once we were seated, the service was pretty quick. The staff kept things moving and were attentive throughout our meal. Taste: The menu is concise, which I liked, and there's truly something for everyone. I ordered the BBQ shrimp and grits, and it was hands down the best I've ever had. It was savory, flavorful, and very filling. My friend had the grits and egg bowl, which was also really good. The fresh juices were delicious and paired perfectly with brunch. Ambiance: The café has a lively brunch vibe and feels like a staple spot. It's casual, welcoming, and perfect for catching up with friends while enjoying a great meal. Overall Review: Two Chicks Café is affordable and absolutely worth the visit. Between the flavorful dishes and great brunch energy, it's a must-stop on your NOLA trip. I would definitely go back!!!

We checked into our nearby hotel a bit early in the day and was looking to hit the streets for a spot to get a chill/light breakfast, a coffee and maybe a cocktail. We found all the things at Luzianne Cafe. Whether you belly up to the bar or grab a table, both of which are first come first serve, you start at the counter where you order, pay and grab your table number. It appears that during busy times they allow you to sit first and order from the QR at your table, this is an assumption given the code to order at the table, but the sign at the entry directed folks to the counter to order before sitting. For breakfast, we got the breakfast biscuit which came with eggs, bacon and cheese, and sided it with grits. The breakfast sandwich was solid, eggs were a bit soft and grits were more mealy than we are used to, but I think that may be authenticity of the area more than anything. I opted for the three option omelet with onion, sausage and gouda plus a side of sausage links. The omelet, though odd sounding combination turned out to be solid. Maybe it was my options, but it was decently "one note" in flavor. I tossed a little hot sauce on and that helped. However, while the sausage links were not much to look at, they were tasty, with a nice snap to the casing and meaty inside. To go with our breakfast, I got a cold brew with a splash of almond milk while my partner embraced NOLA and started his day with a bourbon sour. Both of us enjoyed our choices! Service was friendly and helpful at the counter/bar. The food runner was nice and then another member, assuming the Manager, that stopped by to check on us mid meal. She was super friendly and nice. Overall, we enjoyed our meal and drinks at Luzianne. Minor things noted, mainly on the cook of the eggs, but nothing awful. It his the spot and checked the boxes!
