We were across the river and I found this spot via Mapquest. It is a small, quaint, hole-in-the-wall type place. Limited selection but everything looked delicious. She even offers a bag of doggie treats! Though Eclair is in the title, they didn't have any available when we went. However, I was easily talked into trying the creme brûlée crepe cake as a substitute for the eclair. We left out of there with half dozen macaroons, a gold encrusted oreo cupcake, the crepe cake slice, and a bag of doggie treats. The macaroons are simply delicious, flavorful and colorful. The oreo cupcake was a hit, and devoured quickly. My son and I split the crepe cake and it was surprisingly light. I wasn't sure what to expect with the multiple layers but was delightfully thrilled with the taste. And true to form, it had the torched sugar crusted topping. Definitely worth returning for more. Aladdin also devoured his doggie treat with gusto. One thing to note, the crepe cakes have to be ordered ahead of time and purchased whole. We were fortunate to have been able to sample a slice. I will definitely be placing an order soon. Overall, a superb find and well worth the trip. I will be returning.

I decided to give it a shot and I'm so glad I did. Their enclosed dessert bar will have your mouth salivating for a bite of each piece. I did pretty good though, I ordered a venti caramel frozen coffee with soy milk and OMG, it was absolutely delish! Then, as I was checking out, I was contemplating purchasing the creme brûlée layered pie. Needless to say, that contemplation lasted all of 3 seconds and I caved and bought it. Let me tell you, next to marrying my husband, this was the best decision I've made lol. Next time, I'm going to buy some macaroons, they looked absolutely divine!

We opted for a smoothie type drink with boba. The guy put boba in 2 of the 3 drinks and told us he ran out for the third drink. Why not measure it out before hand and let us know so we can decide which drinks get the boba? My husband got one of the Special T drinks and it was not drinkable at all. Tasted so artificial and super sweet. It's supposed to be a mango, pineapple and banana combo but not a single real piece of fruit was used. It was just syrup, what looked like jelly, and powders with milk and ice. So gross. Look at the pictures, all of the syrup settled at the bottle. It's half the drink. Never again. What a waste of money.

They have k-pop music playing in the background as soon as you walk in! In this trip, I am only reviewing the drinks - we did not try food at this time. Their drink selection is vast, and all of the drinks seemed really interesting! We settled on the mango pomelo and brown sugar boba milk tea and it was pretty good, I could've used a less sweeter drink so I'll tweak that next time! Ordering process was thru a huge tablet and you can customize any combinations you want for your drink, it was easy to use. Service was good and friendly they call your name when your drinks are ready. I liked the ambiance of the shop I thought it was inviting and very k-pop ish.

The purple potato bubble tea with extra cheese foam was especially delicious and aromatic with the perfect level of sweetness (50%). I also loved how juicy and tender their boneless fried chicken thighs were. A low point would probably be the hot Cheeto 핫도그 (hot dog)--the initial spice flavor of the Cheeto dust was nowhere to be found and the entire coating tasted quite bland. Other than that, I would definitely visit this place in person to try more of their fried chicken flavors, along with their long list of bubble tea options.

This French bakery offers authentic pastries, hand-made croissants, brunch fare, & espresso drinks. The high-ceilings, white tile, and marble tabletops emit a European café vibe. There is also a charming courtyard if you want to soak in some sunshine. I first learned about this bakery when staying at the Hotel Villa Convento across the street. They served their buttery rich croissants as part of their continental breakfast. (I'm not sure if they still do.) Now that I have a house in the Quarter, I take a morning stroll over here to pick up croissants to take home. The butter croissants are a bargain at $3.50. I also love the chocolate & almond (both are $3.95 each), as well as the crisp & flaky Palmiers & delicate Almond Florentines. When I have guests, I bring them back a Ham & Cheese Croissant - a bargain at $5.50. They always ask me to bring another the next day.

I'll start with that, because otherwise this venue would be all about takeout. It's bright, open (30' ceiling!), nicely restored, and WELL KEPT. So often food courts are just a wreck--people's leavings everywhere. At St Roch they keep after that. Not only are there decent tables in many sizes, there's a nice marble bar as well. Now as to the food: we got going there for the $1 oysters from 3-5 at the oyster bar. Nice with a beer, and the char-broiled ones are great too. Then we went for the brisket sandwich special the charcuterie place was having for lunchtime-yuuum, and the owner couldn't be nicer. We've heard good things about the Cuban place too, so that's on the list. There's a fun Burmese place as well, and a poke/sushi place I mean to try. Also Bahamian. The places vary of course in the level of service, but the ones I've described are really nice. All in all it's a great addition to the neighborhood; worth finding out what clicks for you because it becomes a pleasant habit.

Just an amazing, easy to write ***** review - in my opinion…read more We went with a party of 7 on Mardi Gras - got stuck in parade traffic and 1/2 party was 30 minutes late. No problems w N7 - thank you. Server and Som were great - friendly, knew the menu (food and wine) inside and out, giving great suggestions. The food timing was just right for our large party given how many items ordered (on a very busy night). Our sommelier picked perfect pairings. As a table we order probably 12 different dishes +desert to share (this is way to go imo) and each was amazing in its own way. Unique sweet savory salty combos and great presentations. I am not going to go into details as it has been covered in photos and other reviews. The outside ambience was perfect with heat lamps - on a chilly night no one needed a coat. The lighting was soft/perfect and once you entered into the wooden door you are transported into a different world. I would recommend this for family, business meeting or date night. The prices were very reasonable for the service, ambiance and amazing food. We all were just thrilled with N7 / just make the reservation and be prepared for a great night!

The way it was really really nice. I had a glass of wine, Johnny had a martini. My glass of Chardonnay was $26! I was shocked. The martini was $19. Both we felt were too expensive. We ordered the bok choy appetizer and the pomme frittes with bearnaise dipping sauce. Delish. We both had the scallop appetizer. Three nice size scallops on each plate. We were very satisfied with the food, service and ambiance and recommend N7. Next time we want to return, we'll make a reservation! Wish I had taken some pictures. Next time
