About

A true veteran on the city’s restaurant scene, having opened in 2007, this Michelin-Recommended bistro serving Louisiana cuisine with a French accent has kept things fresh, landing on this year’s list of New Orleans Magazine’s “Best Restaurants in Uptown NOLA.” Chef Aaron Burgau, a NOLA native, is a 3-Time James Beard Semi-Finalist who started his career working with some of the city’s most honored chefs, including James Beard Award-Winning Susan Spicer (Bayona and Mondo), and local legend, Gerard Maras (Gerard’s Downtown). In 2006, he became the Executive Chef at Bank Cafe, and that same year was named one of the Top 5 “Chefs to Watch” by Louisiana Cookin’ Magazine. In 2007, he partnered with longtime friend and entrepreneur Leon Touzet to open Patois, where his classic-but-inventive menu features such fare as smoked fish dip with saltines, five spice duck confit leg, seasonal gumbo, pecan crusted gulf fish, and eggplant parmesan, all prepared with farm-fresh ingredients.
