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… Continue reading Couvant, New Orleans, LA Report #683

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… Continue reading Café Fleur De Lis, New Orleans, LA Report #679
Mister Oso, New Orleans, LA Report #636
This place first opened in Denver, CO, and then opened a restaurant here in New Orleans. They’ve only been open for about a month. A city can never have too many restaurants. I was happy to come in tonight and welcome them! “Oso” is Spanish for “bear”. “Mister” means “Mister”. So, the name of this… Continue reading Mister Oso, New Orleans, LA Report #636
Copper Vine, New Orleans, LA Report #634
Last week I got an email from a food review website I subscribe to. The theme of the email was breakfast spots, and it listed several great looking ones. One place on it was Birdy’s Behind The Bower, which we tried last Sunday. This was another one on the list. If I’d unsubscribe and stop… Continue reading Copper Vine, New Orleans, LA Report #634
King Brasserie & Bar, New Orleans, LA Report #632
I had never heard of this place. I work near it but had never seen it since it’s tucked away in the Hotel Fontenot. I found out about it because a couple of the kids I spawned got together and bought me a gift certificate for it. They’re good kids! When I got the certificate,… Continue reading King Brasserie & Bar, New Orleans, LA Report #632
Vyoone’s, New Orleans, LA Report #630
It’s my birthday so my dining partner said she’d buy me dinner. She even let me pick the restaurant! I’m sure she was hoping I’d pick a place like Burger King, or at the most something a little fancier like IHOP. Silly girl. I picked a fancy French joint. At least one I hoped would… Continue reading Vyoone’s, New Orleans, LA Report #630
Commerce Restaurant, New Orleans, LA Report #613
I was in the mood for a hamburger for lunch but wasn’t sure where I wanted to get one. This restaurant popped up when I did a quick internet search using “hamburgers near me”. Since I work a couple blocks from this place, I’d heard of it and heard nothing but good. In fact, a… Continue reading Commerce Restaurant, New Orleans, LA Report #613
Tava Indian Street Food, New Orleans, LA Report #601
As a Father’s Day gift I received a gift certificate for this place. That’s the only reason I knew they existed! Never saw or heard of the joint. It has an O’Keefe address, which is a busy street, but that’s the address of the huge building it has a suite in. The restaurant is located… Continue reading Tava Indian Street Food, New Orleans, LA Report #601
Café at the Square, New Orleans, LA Report #593
I work near here, so I’ve been wanting to try this place for some time. The dining room is surrounded with glass walls, so I’m sure customers have noticed me walking down the sidewalk, eyeballing their plates and licking my lips! Yesterday we walked by on the way to a place called Olive for lunch… Continue reading Café at the Square, New Orleans, LA Report #593
Olive, New Orleans, LA Report #592
My favorite place for Mediterranean food in New Orleans has long been Lebanon’s Cafe. A few days ago, Yelp sent me an email with a list of ten restaurants which they said have “superb” Mediterranean eats, and this place was listed #1. After 240 reviews! I had to get in here and check them out.… Continue reading Olive, New Orleans, LA Report #592
