    Photo 1: Montage of images from Sucre
    Ed U.

    Meandering the French Quarter on a late summer evening must bring out my inner Tennessee Williams because I was tempted to depend on the kindness of strangers. After dodging the drunkards on Bourbon Street, we took notice of this upscale dessert cafe. Unlike the more casual OK Ice Cream (review: https://yelp.to/PKQX7azbl-), this one displayed an attractively presented suite of sweets - colorful macarons, decorative cupcakes, fruit mousse tartlets. Jamie W and I zeroed in on the seductive sorbet and gelato selection. We were somewhat gobsmacked that a single scoop cost $7 while adding another flavor jumped the price up to $12. Jamie responded responsibly by getting the $7 cup of the Mixed Berry Sorbet (Photo 7). I, on the other hand, became Stanley Kowalski and ordered the $12 combo of the Mixed Berry Sorbet and Espresso Gelato (Photo 8). After all, my need was riding on a streetcar named Desire. FOOD - 4 stars...fresh flavors though strangely priced AMBIANCE - 4 stars...nicely set up, cafe portion was packed SERVICE - 3 stars...rather curt unfortunately TOTAL - 4 stars...I'll stick to one flavor next time RELATED - Exploring New Orleans?

    My friend and I were looking for a place to get a sweet treat and decided to try this place out because of the variety of treats they were offering. We tried their macarons as well as gelato and I have to say, the king cake gelato will go down as the best gelato I've ever had in my life. So good, in fact, that we came back the next day to get more. The staff were friendly and patient given the line of people that constantly seem to be waiting, and they are willing to offer samples should you ask. The decor is pretty with a fun, upscale sweet shop ambiance, but it can get a little crowded so I wouldn't suggest this as a place to sit and catch up with friends or try to work. I know that the king cake flavor isn't around all year, but when it's there, GET IT.

    Stopped in for a quick dessert after a final exploration of the French quarter. So many rave reviews about sucre and I love a good macaron. Friendly service, lots of macaron flavors including unique options of peach cobbler, blackberry citrus, cafe au lait. We opted for the strawberry, pistachio, chocolate and peach cobbler- each delicious and beautiful presentation. I wish we had more time to sit and snack but hopefully next time we can try their drinks and/or gelato!

    Loved Sucre! It was such a treat to find such a tasty dessert spot in the French Quarter. Not realizing at first, this was the second location in the French Quarter. The days before, I kept going to the sister location. This one has cafe style seating and the counter is right on front by the entrance. Same delicious goodies on hand - think macarons, delectable pastries and gelato. The cupcakes and other confections are photo ready and beautifully presented. My favorite dessert was the palmier (French pastry aka elephant ears). And the cupcakes. The red velvet is super rich, moist cake and beautiful to look at as well as to eat. We also got the banana "dome" which is shaped as it sounds, and it was a very delicious custard-like banana filling. The desserts here are all wonderful so try them all to see which is your favorite! P.S. - I bought loose leaf teas here as souvenirs and all my friends say it's so good.

    The desserts in the case are so pretty they looked fake, but they are indeed real. I ordered macaroons in a variety of flavors( chocolate, vanilla, strawberry,etc) The young lady helping me couldn't really remember how long they would last, I was visiting so wanted to take them back home. The insert that was placed in the box said good for 7 days, so I was pleased to know that. They are wheat served chilled according to package insert. This was a nice little treat once i made it home. They were about $30 for 8, I clearly didn't read the prices before ordering .

    Delicious but expensive. They also have fresh sodas if you're interested in a light cold treat. Staff was very friendly.

    I really enjoy coming here but this time was not what I expected. The employees were very kind and knowledgeable about everything. The shop was nice and inviting. I ordered the Sucré Confetti it was a vanilla cake with vanilla buttercream and macaron pieces. I don't believe I've ever had a cupcake so dry! I felt embarrassed that they sold this to me especially since I've always had great experiences here. Maybe it was an off day because I know for a fact that they are far better than that Dry Cake! Anyhow, I'll give them another try and I would encourage you to do the same.

    After skipping dessert at Copper Vine, we walked Bourbon Street before deciding to find a nearby place. We are a fan of French Patisserie so this hit the spot. All the desserts were worthy of a photo. I almost tried the Almond Petit Four, but settled for Sucré Confetti Cupcake. The lightness of the cake and icing were splendid. I enjoyed every forkful. And my companion ordered the cheesecake and it was great. This place had a steady trickle of people. The decor screams "take a photo" which we did.

    Nice, good service... they are slowly downsizing and it feels at though those gourmet pastries we love are becoming few and few. Other locations have gotten rid of the pastries as a whole.

    Stumbled upon this spot when walking around the French Quarter and very happy to learn it was open til midnight. I actually went to both locations in the FQ. First stop was for some coffee and a sweet treat and then I came back to the other location closer to my hotel for a box of macarons to take home. The interior space is lovely and inviting and the desserts all look so pretty in their display case. Desserts were amazing and I was very impressed with the quality and taste of my latte. It was the best latte I had in New Orleans. Service was friendly.

    Such a cute little dessert shop! My friends and I were craving a late night sweet treat and we found this place so we had to give it a try. My go-to is always birthday cake ice cream so I had to try that and it did not disappoint. The gelato was so smooth and it wasn't too sweet. I will have to try more flavors the next time I'm here. Service was normal, the staff were quick to assist and there wasn't a big line. As for the shop itself, it's a very cute cafe layout with a good amount of seating. My friends and I were chatting for a good while and it's a really nice area to yáp and catch up with friends!

    My daughter and I didn't like this place for what we had tonight. It's so pretty in pink inside. For the lovers of sweets, this looks like a haven at a glance and yet some of the stuff they sell here lack distinctiveness where they are simply sugar overload. We got two items tonight. Salted Caramel Brownie Ice Cream - We certainly didn't care for this one. The flavor didn't taste authentic; it lacked the real salted caramel flavor. Very candy like and that's al we tasted. Nid d'Abeille - This cake was also so sugary. It really didn't have any distinct flavors either. This is like a dessert sold at a very cheap grocery store that only looks good on the outside. This also failed to impress us to the core (very unfortunate.) Service, however, was more than decent. The guy who gave us a scoop of the salted caramel ice cream gave us more than a single scoop. We appreciated this generous gesture. It was just two items out of all they serve here so our hope is that the other stuff is (at least) decent or (even) good. We only have one more day before we go home in Denver. Will we go back to give it another try while we are here? We highly doubt however.

    This is fancy dessert. To be clear, fancy French desserts. The presentation is fancy, the pricing matches that, in the flavors are exquisite. You get what you pay for. Understanding that, you either want to pay $3.50 for one macaroon and 5 to 6 dollars for one cookie, or you don't. Today, I did. I had a salted caramel macaron and a café au lait macaron, and my husband had a strawberry macaron. They cost $11.58 and were absolutely delicious. The salted caramel was the best. The nice lady who sold them to me told me that the salted caramel would be the best. She also advised me that for the most enjoyable consumption experience, I should wait until it warmed up to room temperature before eating it. I did heed her advice, and ate it somewhere between freshly refrigerated and room temperature. Yet, it was still a delight.

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.

The third course, our entrée, took 46 minutes to arrive, compared to about 15 minutes between the earlier and later courses. There was no proactive communication from our server. I had to flag her down to ask, and was told it was on the way. That delay stretched our evening by close to 30 minutes, and there was no acknowledgment or effort to make up for it. If I'm scoring it, the food is a 5 out of 5 without question. The service, because of that lapse, was closer to a 3. I'll meet in the middle and give Restaurant August a 4 overall. Even with that hiccup, this was one of the best meals we've ever had in New Orleans.

Emeril was bursting onto the TV scene as a national phenomenon... and my first visit to Emeril's would be followed by many others over the years. New Orleans... Las Vegas... Orlando (many times). They were always terrific. Yet none were quite like my recent visit to the "new" Emeril's experience, featuring a rebuilt dining room, an elevated tasting menu only, and now directed by Emeril's uber-talented son, E.J. Lagasse. The room is beautiful, everyone's dressed to match the refined atmosphere, and when the reservation advised to "allow 3.5 hours for the full dining experience", they meant it! It's a six-course powerhouse dinner, and the listed dishes are just the start. Endless surprises come from all directions, with multiple servers bringing all sorts of delights from start to finish. Many pay homage to classic New Orleans dishes, such as a bite-sized barbecue shrimp tart, or a seafood almondine. As you dine, it's fascinating to watch the entire open kitchen right through clear floor-to-ceiling glass, with E.J. supervising it all at the pass, as he and his team prepare every morsel meticulously. Just a few of the dishes I enjoyed... The Smoked Salmon Cheesecake - Petrossian Kaluga Caviar, Dill Oyster Stew - Herbsaint Cream, Foie Gras, Hon-Shimeji Mushrooms Trout Almondine - Green Beans, Potato Red Snapper & Scallop - Kaluga Caviar, Smoked Chicken, Radicchio Boudin - Collard Greens, Hamhock, Creole Jus Gras White Sand Homestead Duck - Beets, Kumquat, Fennel SnoBall, Banana Cream Pie, Caramel As my meal came to a close, I was blown away when E.J. came out and we had a nice chat for five minutes or so. What a talented, funny and kind young man. And hats off to his remarkable team, led by Emilie Van Dyke - Chef de Cuisine; Riley McDonnell - Executive Sous Chef; and Charlie Jarrett - Sous Chef. Overall, I'd say perfect food, perfect wine-pairing, perfect service. Emeril's deserves their 2 Michelin stars. I cannot recommend it highly enough for a special occasion dinner.

    The most disappointing fine dining experience I've ever had -- marked by inedible dishes,…read moredismissive management, and an experience that left us feeling unwelcome as the only non-white guests in the room. We came to Emeril's in New Orleans to celebrate my husband's birthday (reservation 3/21 at 6:15pm), expecting a thoughtful, Michelin-level experience. Instead, the evening fell far short. Despite booking a month in advance and noting the occasion, we were initially seated at a table closest to the entrance, adjacent to the host stand and restrooms, with constant foot traffic and little sense of privacy -- even though multiple better tables sat empty. We were told all other tables were "reserved" and were only moved after expressing our discomfort, thanks to our server Jason advocating on our behalf. From a culinary standpoint, the most notable issue was the level of salinity across the menu. The crawfish and boudin blanc dishes were so excessively salted that we could not take more than one bite and had to send them back to the kitchen. More broadly, aside from dessert (the only course we enjoyed), nearly every dish after the appetizers was unbalanced and, at times, inedible due to over-seasoning. When we raised this politely, General Manager Brandon Groh told us the dishes "tasted as they're supposed to," and when I asked if they could offer any alternatives, he responded, "This is Louisiana cuisine -- we have what's on the menu." We had been dining across New Orleans throughout our trip and had not encountered this level of saltiness elsewhere, which made this response difficult to understand. Although I was taken aback by his tone, I remained courteous and asked what accommodation the kitchen could provide. The kitchen's "adjustment" -- simply removing sauces rather than recalibrating the dishes -- resulted in plates that felt incomplete, unbalanced, and poorly composed. Jason was the only staff member who acknowledged our discomfort and took initiative to address it. His professionalism and empathy were the only elements that reflected the level of hospitality we expected. As the only non-white guests in the room, the combination of our initial placement, the resistance to moving us, and the tone of our interaction with Brandon Groh left us feeling unwelcome in a way we did not experience anywhere else in New Orleans. Overall, this experience left us questioning how this restaurant meets the standard expected of a Michelin-recognized establishment.
