Couvant, New Orleans, LA Report #683

I’ve driven past this restaurant numerous times and never noticed it. That’s because even though they have a small sign and an entrance from the street, it’s kind of hidden inside the Eliza Jane hotel. It’s right across the street from a fantastic steakhouse called Chophouse. I’m always looking for unique dishes to try. When…

Common Grounds, Gretna, LA Report #682

This place is located in Old Gretna on Huey P. Long Ave. There are a BUNCH of other restaurants on this strip. Over the years the ones I’ve been to are Amore, El Gato Negro, Gattuso’s, Gretna Depot, Huey P’s, RiverShack, Roule and Thanh Thanh, but for some reason I’ve never checked this place out.…

Queen Trini Lisa, New Orleans, LA Report #681

According to their website this restaurant serves Trinbagonian Island Soul Food. Ever heard of that? Ever had it? If not, we were in the same boat because it was new to me too. Considering their website also says they were named the restaurant of the year by Eater New Orleans for 2022, I was looking…

Le Café Eblouir, Gretna, LA Report #684

After a delicious lunch at Couvant, we decided to stop in here for some dessert. According to their website the entire reason this place exist is to produce high quality pastries for more people to enjoy. That’s a beautiful mission statement! Here’s a link to their website where you can also check out their menus:…

Spitale’s Deli, Metairie, LA Report #680

I LIKE TO EAT! Many people often say it’s a sin to live in a great food city like New Orleans and eat in chain restaurants. I’ve never subscribed to that. If the food is good, I’m eating there, no matter how many restaurants are in some chain! BUT that being said, this is the…

Café Fleur De Lis, New Orleans, LA Report #679

A few months ago I received an email highlighting New Orleans breakfast spots, and this restaurant was featured. It looked great so I added it to my list. But not this location. They have a location in the French Quarter. I had no idea this location even existed. Today we headed to the French Quarter…

The Green Room KYXHЯ, New Orleans, LA Report #678

I was perusing one of my favorite social media food platforms and someone asked about the best Russian / Eastern European food in New Orleans. This place was the overwhelming response. I checked out the menu online, liked what I saw so tonight we came in to give them a try. I see why they…

Guillory’s Deli and Tamales, Metairie, LA Report #677

I love tamales, so anywhere with “and tamales” in the name is going to sucker me in! Long ago I heard this place made a tamale poboy, so I came in and gave it a try. Nothing was bad about it. Just wasn’t my thing. Tamales are already like a little sandwich with meat wrapped…

14 Parishes Jamaican Restaurant, New Orleans, LA Report #676

I hate when I have to write a report on a place that wasn’t very good. I’m a very sweet person. Ask anyone! So, I don’t want to complain or be nasty, but what would be the sense in reading my reports if I talked about everywhere I went as if it was the greatest…

Ombu Buffet, Marrero, LA Report #675

I am by no means a fan of all you can eat buffets. They’re normally about quantity over quality, but of course they’re always exceptions to that rule. A friend told me this one was great and asked me to check it out and see what I thought, so here I am! If you want…
