Cafe Soule and the Paris Room.

Located in the French Quarter, this French inspired restaurant has all the fun. Great location with all the history a New Orleanian and tourist could want. I would 100% recommend getting a tour of the place, it is beautiful! No onto the food-- I ordered the special at the moment: Oysters Rockefeller, French Onion soup, Crawfish Étouffée, and the Duck Confit crêpe with fries.

(Duck Crêpe: Savory crêpe filled with duck confit, grilled onions, spinach and your choice of cheese, with raspberry wine reduction for dipping and French Fries. Crawfish étouffée: Seasoned crawfish coupled with a French Cajun etouffee sauce and rice, Traditional. French Onion Soup: Traditional slow-cooked French Onion topped with French bread and melted Provolone.) Don't know what Oysters Rockefeller are? Here is a basic definition from Wikipedia: Oysters Rockefeller consists of oysters on the half-shell that have been topped with various other ingredients (often parsley and other green herbs, a rich buttersauce and bread crumbs) and are then baked or broiled.

My favorite? The French onion soup. Personally its one of my favorite soups to order and I had the most fun with the cheese. It wasn't too much cheese and really was great. Honestly I'd come back just for the soup 100%. I sat almost outside and had the pleasure to witness the ever fun wedding second line. Great energy, great food, a great time it was. Here is the menu.

Josephine Estelle

Last night I had the pleasure of trying out Josephine Estelle's new spring 2017 menu... and it was SO GOOD! I normally am not a pasta eater. I mean, I love pasta as much as the next kid, but rarely do I ever actually end up ordering it out. Game changer. The pastas were TO DIE FOR. I googled the pasta types because I am no expert but I also don't mind being surpised with what pasta comes out. I was very much pleasantly surprised. We started off with some sparkling rosè and their wine list is fantastic. To start I would recommend the pork belly or the tuna crudo. I need to come back and try out more of there pastas. OH and dessert? So much to offer-- simply a glance at the menu does not do it justice. I enjoyed it all-- See for yourself with these images.

Dante's Kitchen

I recently went to Dante's Kitchen, with a few other fellow NOLA foodies! It was all organized by @nowneworleans (Check out her instagram and her awesome site here!) Here are just SOME of the pics from the yummy event! I was really impressed, the food was so good, from start to end. The restaurant is hidden away, but really is a gem. I had previously never been to Dante's kitchen, but grew up getting my hair cut right around that area. I tried the escargot for the 1st time, and was not disappointed. I mean, garlic and butter on top of bone marrow? How could I not like escargot with all of that flavor! The veggies were also a hit, everything tasted fresh and was delighted to h that it was all grown locally. With that being said, I was even more pleased when learning that the grits from their shrimp and grits small plate were stone ground and from South Carolina! (I went to college at the University of South Carolina and let me tell ya, they know what they are doing with their stone ground grits!) I would recommend this restaurant to friends and family to check out. Next time, I got to eat outside! Here is their website & full menu: http://danteskitchen.com
