A speakeasy, with an outdoor deck?! Came here to rest my feet for an early dinner and drink…read more Unfortunately they were out of the drink that most caught my eye so I ordered the Vieux Carre, which was a spirit forward drink similar to a less sweet old fashioned. I also hadn't had a charcuterie board this trip yet, so splurged on one here. It came with three types of cheese, three types of meats, two types of pickled onions, traditional cucumber pickles, pumpkin seeds, cranberries, an onion puree, a mustard puree, and bread. First off, I appreciated they actually provided the appropriate bread-to-other ratio. I feel like normally you run out of bread while eating a board but I actually had bread leftover with this meal! The cheese and meat were good of course, but I want to make a special call out to the onion puree, which was like condensed French onion soup, and the cucumber pickles, which were some of the best pickles I've had because they tasted so fresh, like they had just been brined.
All of this on a deck looking out towards the river. Stop by here after late afternoon cruise with Croisieres ML across the road to continue enjoying the river view!
Logistics:
- indoor and outdoor seating
- limited street parking nearby
- several complex mocktail options available. I wanted to try one so bad but I was too full for more!
