Food scene

This is our favorite French bistro. It can be casual or fancy. You can spend a little or a lot. Take the streetcar, and walk a couple blocks. Have dessert there, or walk to Creole Creamery for some local ice cream.

Traveler advice

Getting around

St. Charles Streetcar

There’s a stop 3 blocks from the house. It’ll take you down St. Charles to the French Quarter. You’ll probably be tired from your time in the quarter and should probably Uber back!
