Beignets--$5 for 3. These are light, fluffy with a burst of steam when you bite into them. They're not quite Café du Monde or Café Beignet but they're pretty good. My only complaint is the price. Hard to justify $5 for 3 pieces of fried dough.
Eggs Nouvelle Orleans--poached egg, lump blue crab meat, shallots, housemade hollandaise served on Cousteau baguette for $18. The crab meat was flavored with Creole seasoning and was delicious with the yolk from the poached egg. One egg was perfectly cooked while the other was slightly overcooked but overall this was delicious.
The special of the day was poached egg with fried oysters and crawfish for $16. This was very flavorful and the oysters were nicely fried with a coating that was not too heavy. There were, however, only 2 oysters and a few crawfish, again making this dish not high on the value scale.
Overall, I liked the food and will be back. If it was better priced, I'd be back more often. The restaurant is only open for breakfast and lunch. It's a small place, seating only 22 inside. There is outdoor seating as well. We arrived at 9:35 am and had a 5-minute wait. When we left at 10:15, there was a line out the door. Lunch is mainly po-boys and is served after 11:30 am.
