Guidebook for New Orleans
Food Scene
One of our all-time New Orleans favorites. A cute restaurant and wine bar located right in our neighborhood - the Bywater. Casual, laid back, trendy atmosphere with outstanding food and wine. There is a stage with a band playing in the afternoon for lunch and the evening for dinner. We recommend it to practically all of our visitors: family, friends, or guests.
