    Courtyard cafe entrance
    Greg M.

    What a hidden gem. And I do mean hidden. I've walked this block of Royal hundreds of times without knowing that the perfect spot for a light lunch, coffee, tea or pastry was tucked away in a peaceful courtyard just behind the front building of the Historic New Orleans Collection, which is worth a visit in its own right. I remember reading that the Carmo folks from Julia Street were opening here, but out of sight, out of mind. While visiting the museum yesterday, I finally took the opportunity to grab a quick lunch. The service was spot on. The Peruvian chicken meat pie with slaw was delicious. Great coffee & tea, too. The smell of hot cinnamon rolls coming from the oven have me wanting to return this morning!

    Great cafe located inside of The Historic New Orleans Collection. Dining in the courtyard, friendly employees, good food. I stopped in as I was spending time exploring the collection and I was very happy to not have to go out to find something to eat. I had the white beans with rice, and yellow cake with chocolate icing. Everything was just lovely. I even got a lemon bar to go and the gal working kept it in the refrigerator until I was ready to leave to keep it cool. Great place to eat. And walk around the collection when you are done. You won't regret either choice.

    After having some very indulgent meals while visiting New Orleans, I was craving a salad. I'm so glad I found Cafe Cour. I ordered the Habana Salad and added shrimp. They source their ingredients locally, in other words "Farm to Table". The salad was exactly what I needed, fresh and healthy. I was worried the habanero vinaigrette might be too spicy, but it had just the right amount of heat and I was pleasantly surprised by the amount of shrimp. After enjoying a healthy lunch outside in the courtyard of The New Orleans Collection, I couldn't resist the delicious looking baked goods. I ordered the Chocolate Chicory Cookie. It was delicious, the chocolate chips were still slightly melted. Before leaving I visited the galleries on the 3rd floor of the New Orleans Collection. They have free admission!

    Cafe Cour is the best kept secret in the Quarter. Their food is consistently excellent, and it's QUIET in the THNOC courtyard.

I'd literally been told I had to go here so many times that by the time I landed in New Orleans, I pretty much made a beeline straight for this legendary cafe. This cafe is located right outside Jackson Square right off the waterfront. They are open late, as they close at either 11p or 12am every day. When we went in the middle of the afternoon, the place was very busy as it was hard to find a table in their outside patio, so we settled for a table in the indoor section(A/C SCORE!!). The ground was littered with powdered sugar as customers like myself don't always understand how to eat these beignets without making a big mess. The beignets themselves were pretty inexpensive as they cost only $4.53 for a 3-pack. I also got a large frozen coffee for $7.70. The beignets were delivered to our table very fast and very warm. The movie "Chef" says you only get your first bite of your first beignet from Cafe Du Monde once in your life and to cherish the moment and I do truly understand what they meant with that quote. These beignets were so great and that first bite with the powdered sugar explosion was so amazing-I really enjoyed the recklessness of having a beignet at Cafe Du Monde. Overall, I feel that anyone who visits New Orleans has to find their way to this legendary cafe and enjoy this dish that has been served since 1862. A really great bite!.

    I really wanted to understand the hype around Cafe Du Monde, but unfortunately, this was a huge…read moredisappointment. The beignets were dry and lacked flavor, and instead of a nice dusting of powdered sugar, there were huge clumps of it piled on top. Powdered sugar can't make up for a dry beignet. The coffee wasn't any better. It had a strong burnt taste that made it difficult to enjoy. I understand Cafe Du Monde is an iconic New Orleans stop with tons of history, but based on the food and coffee alone, I just don't understand the hype. There are much better beignets in New Orleans. Service was average very touristy Overrated, disappointing, and definitely a one-and-done for me. I wouldn't return.

If you are looking to avoid Starbucks or French Truck for your coffee fix and want something that is much locally based, Fourth Wall will fit the bill. The cold brew is wicked strong like much stronger than what I order normally at Starbucks. The iced London Fog lattes I discovered are premade, which overall my wife thought was alright, but she liked that they had gluten free blueberry muffins. The chocolate croissant was solid. The service was prompt and friendly. And the decor had a rustic ambiance with the brick walls, dark book shelving and garden patio in the back. The coffee bar has a hidden quality about it that is alluring and appealing. It was good to check out before we concluded our recent stay in NOLA.

It also looks like a local hangout with their very comfortable bar. The team here is very friendly and like all places in New Orleans... always looking to help.

Over easy eggs and potatoes French toast VERY well done friend eggs Over easy with sausage Eggs Benedict (or any variation you have.) All was good. All was fresh and what needed to be hot was. What more could you ask for? We tend to get to breakfast fairly early so it wasn't too busy, but people were coming in through our meal and the place was filling up quickly. I love coming to restaurants where they have a good flow of customers and their regulars. KUDOs to the team at Streetcar Cafe.

The fried 'seafood' platter contains farm-raised imported shrimp, farm-raised imported Swai (a foreign garbage-eating pond-raised fish), and farmed oysters for $26. No thanks. Ok. Switching to gumbo. Uh, their 'gumbo' is a thin broth with virtually no solid ingredients besides white rice. A very few minuscule shreds of chicken and maybe a 6-8 tiny cubes of some tasteless sausage for $17. It did come with a nice biscuit. Be aware of what's being served. Stick to the well-known real-deal restaurants. Not everything is what it claims to be. Nothing real about this ripoff. We'll never go back to this tourist trap.

Though pop-up showers were still lingering, my husband and I decided to take a gamble on courtyard dining--and I am so glad we did! Sheltered under the green umbrellas surrounded by historic brick walls, lush greenery, and rain-kissed citrus trees, the atmosphere was incredibly romantic and peaceful. The courtyard's intimate layout even brought a bit of extra magic to our evening. We sat near another wonderful couple (and their adorable daughter) and became fast friends, sharing laughs and conversation throughout the night. What truly anchored the experience, though, was the incredible service. The staff was remarkably personable, helpful, and welcoming. The dinner itself was excellent from start to finish, showcasing immense culinary skill across every dish. We started with the delicious brussels sprouts and a uniquely seasoned spring/summer gumbo that was unlike any version we've had before (oh, what I would give for the recipe). As for the entrées, the shrimp and grits were phenomenal, and the blackened catfish sandwich with a fresh salad was executed flawlessly...and the bread pudding was fantastic, too! It is rare to find an experience where top-tier hospitality, a breathtaking environment, and great food come together so (seemingly) effortlessly. Café Amélie is an absolute must-visit! We will be back.

The host was extremely welcoming and friendly. Our server and helpers were over quickly to drop off waters and greet us. I ended up ordered the salmon. With it being so early and only one or 2 other tables besides my friend and me, the food did take longer to come out than I expected it to. Both of us did thoroughly enjoy what we got. The salmon was crispy on the outside with a nice sauce over it. We thought we'd have time to get dessert so we ordered a couple but that too took a very long time. We finally waved down our server to cancel and get the check since we had to be somewhere and he apologized and said their WiFi was going in and out so it could be that it was registering on the kitchen side. That may have explained why our entrees took too long. If it wasn't for the service and the food being great - I would not be thrilled about timing. We got there around 5:30p and had to leave by 7:15p so an almost 2 hours experience that probably could have been 1 hour.
