5-Course Globally-Inspired Tasting Event
Opened just this past September in a former cotton mill in the Warehouse District, this outstanding eatery jumped right onto Food & Wine’s List of “Favorite Places to Eat in NOLA” and the Advocate’s List of “Where to Eat in NOLA Right Now.” Chef/Owner Farrell Harrison, a Louisiana native, works with local farmers and fishermen to create dishes that use fresh, sustainable ingredients. Elements and flavors of Spanish, French, Italian, Vietnamese, Mediterranean, German, Cajun and African cooking can be found throughout the menu, with dishes like baked goat cheese with blueberry agrodolce, blue crab claws with nuoc cham, mint, basil, and carrots, roasted gulf oysters with Viet cajun butter and lemon bread crumbs, grilled lamb skewer with rosemary yogurt, and duroc pork belly with spring bean cassoulet, root beer glaze, and pickled ramps. (Be sure, by the way, to leave room as well for desserts like lavender crème brûlée and Spanish almond cake with hibiscus, marcona almonds, and honey ice cream.) We’re always drawn to an eclectic perspective on food, and so we are really looking forward to visiting plates (note the lower case p). See you there!
