    brown butter chocolate chip cookie also
    Gabrielle W.

    Café Malou's true stars are their baked egg dishes! They opened about two months ago and are connected to Octavia Bookstore, which makes it an even cuter stop! The French press was divine, and everything we ordered tasted fresh... the grits, the eggs, the bacon... even the sourdough bread was perfect (from Bellegarde Bakery). Flavor definitely delivered here. It's such a lovely spot to pop in for a quick breakfast or brunch, and the brown butter chocolate chip cookie did not disappoint either. I would honestly come back again. Super cute space, kind and welcoming staff, and just a really great experience all around!

    Chill morning, I'm here very early and beating the rush

    Delicious food, great service, peaceful atmosphere. Their orange cardamom iced coffee is very tasty. I love their croissants and the Croque Me Somethin Mister is to die for.

    Our food was really good. New little breakfast/lunch cafe that we were refered to after a long shopping walk on Magazine St. I had grits carbonara and the mister had a Cobb. Ambience is LOUD!!!! Service was good

    Not even close to the requested crispy bacon.

    Disappointed to have another subpar experience here. I had high hopes for the breakfast sandwich, but the bacon wasn't even close to the extra-crispiness I requested, and the eggs had a dense, spongy texture. It's a shame because I really wanted this to be my new go-to spot. I'm giving two stars only because the bread was actually good and the customer service for my takeout order was great, but the food itself just isn't hitting the mark.

    Cajun country breakfast and salmon toast.

    Calling all Foodies with allergies!!!This place is amazing!! Brandon was able to make my food with…read moreno seasoning and truly customize the veggies and fries. Turkey and the Wolf are located inside of the Venetian and even if you are not staying here, it is well worth the side trip. Come hungry, leave happy.

    Turkey and the Wolf came highly recommended by a friend and it did not disappoint!…read more We arrived around 11:45am on Friday afternoon and there was no wait. However, I know wait times can be out the door so plan accordingly. We were dropped off by Uber, but in terms of parking, it's mainly street parking. Overall, the shop is pretty small. They have a handful of tables outside and more seating inside but it's not huge -- hence the longer lines. It's also quite eclectic with serving on plastic McDonald's plates and the music that was playing. We ordered: The ham sandwich, wedge salad, and a delicious pickle cocktail The ham sandwich had excellent flavor! I wish it had a but more ham on it, but overall the flavor was 10/10! The wedge salad had too much salad dressing. I LOVE blue cheese and blue cheese salad dressing but the lettuce to dressing ratio was off. Could have used less as I felt so much went to waste. The thick cut bacon on the salad was the exact salty touch it needed and the fresh dill was such a fresh touch. The pickle cocktail was delicious! I wish I would have ordered another one! It was slightly sweet, but also salty... SO good! Overall, I would highly recommend Turkey and the Wolf and totally stop by again if I were visiting New Orleans in the future.

    I'll never get tired of this heaven sent spot. I make it a point to introduce everyone I know to…read moreCochon Butcher, and even though I've reviewed it already, I'm updating my review because they continue to deserve the praise. Everything was disrespectfully delicious. Every bite had us questioning our life choices in the best way. By the end of the meal, we were all sleepy and completely defeated by how good the food was. The staff was on point, courteous, and polite. Our food came out hot, fast, and perfectly plated with consistency that never misses. My only small complaint is that the sweet potato habanero sauce isn't as thick as it used to be. I'm a little annoyed about that, but it still tastes exactly the same Cochon Butcher remains one of those must visit New Orleans spots that never disappoints. Great food, great service, and a place I'll always adore.

We ordered the black-eyed pea chili and the muffuletta, and the sandwich completely stole the show. The bread was perfectly soft, and you can really taste the difference in quality with their in-house meats. The olive salad tied the whole thing together, complementing the rich, savory flavors perfectly. That being said, the space gets extremely crowded on busy days. It's tight enough that you'll likely have people bumping into your chair or brushing past you while you eat and walk through the dining room. The biggest downside was the service at the counter. The line to the cashiers was very disorganized. Instead of calling the next person in line, one cashier was pulling people up at random, which made the ordering process frustrating. Overall, the food is fantastic, but be prepared for chaotic crowds and a messy ordering system during peak hours.

    I struggled with putting a 5-star review on a pretty basic menu (no offense), but dang it,…read moreeverything we've eaten in our last 3 visits (in 2 months) has been 5-star fresh, tasty and plentiful. Give credit where credit is due. And the servers have really stepped it up. Very nice! Have not had to deal with huge crowds on any of our three visits, just a steady stream of in and out guests and to go orders. Drinks are always brought promptly, and only once has one gone dry. (They are $3.79 ea, so drink up!) One visit involved Pesto Bites and a Savory Cannoli w/a pasta salad side. The Pesto Bites were to die for, and don't believe the picture on the website - the cannoli was huge and looked more like a very big calzone, but it was packed with ingredients and flavor. The pasta salad was seasoned with just the right amount of Italian dressing. Another visit involved Mozzarella Sticks, Pesto Bites, wings and a Combo pizza. It also involved a large to go box. :) The wings were very good - not bready or slimy, which I often encounter when wings aren't the sole business of the establishment. Loved the crust on the pizza. The 3rd visit involved 3 people and Pizza Bites, Seafood Bites, Savory Cannoli w/pasta salad, Spaghetti & Meatballs w/2 extra meatballs and a 14" Hawaiian Pizza. There were some to go boxes and to go drinks with this meal too. I was pleasantly surprised with the Hawaiian pizza, not something I would ordinarily try, the Pizza Bites were amazing, and I don't eat shrimp but am told the Seafood Bites were very good. I wish I had taken pictures, but each time we were sitting down starving; that's never good for the photo business. :) Try it, you'll like it.

    Really loved this place. Fresh Italian food. I had a pizza and salad lunch combo and cheese sticks…read more Cheese sticks were very tasty and served with homemade marinara. The side salad was a meal in itself and very tasty. The personal pizza had quality, fresh ingredients and the crust was very good. I would have liked it a little crunchier but it was very good the way it was. I posted a current menu as the one that's in photos is older.
