Me and my friend drove around the classic artsy area of New Orleans City Park and we fell upon this…read moregem. It's quietly tucked behind the New Orleans Museum of Art. Upon entry through a hidden away side door (avoid the museum fee) the decor is so elegant, bright and inviting. Perfect for a single trip or a girls trip. It is definitely a nice place to sit and chit chat while being emerged in beautiful scenery. We didn't get a chance to try any of the food but if it's a reflection of what the drinks taste like, I'm sure it's a slam dunk. They had the bomb service, smothered in grand smiles. The barista was definitely giving five star energy so I'm sure they're serious about their craft. I can't say anything more about the location besides, visit soon! If you can go early in the day it's possible to have it all to yourself and soak in all they have to offer (vibes, views, ans service).

There's a lot of hype around cafe du monde for good reason...I actually came to this location twice…read moreduring my 4 day trip in New Orleans because the beignets here are THAT good. While you're here, I'd say that the cafe au lait is also worth trying. I noticed that the lines tend to be longer in the morning but there was little to no wait at night time. Service is mixed--some workers are really friendly while others seem rushed and are a bit harsher. It is a casual spot and you can pretty much grab any open table to be seated. One thing to note is that it is cash only. Overall, I'd highly recommend this location of cafe du monde!

Anyone who says that Café du Monde is overhyped has not been here! This place was phenomenal!…read more For reference, my only experience with beignets before this was at Disneyland, and everyone told me I had to try Café du Monde. I was a little confused when I first walked up, as there isn't a place to order. You simply sit at an empty table and a server comes to take your order. The beignets were warm, crispy, and covered in powdered sugar. It's hard to explain what they even tasted like because they were just that incredible. I ended up getting them again the next day--I genuinely want to make another trip out here just to have them again. Be aware that it's in a heavily tourist-filled area, but besides that, I loved this spot and will definitely be back the next time I'm in New Orleans!

What a fiasco. Hostess didn't show up at stand for a full eight minutes. When we told her we had a…read morereservation, she acted as if she couldn't care less and said the "other tables are busy." Five more minutes passed and the staff couldn't care less. Then, another guy walked in and was immediately seated since he was friends with the staff. The hostess returned and told us it would be at least fifteen more minutes before we could be seated. "You can get a drink at the bar," she told us. Yes, the bar that literally has three occupied stools and ten more people crowded around. So, a reservation doesn't actually mean a reservation. It means "wait for hostess to show up for eight minutes, then be ignored for five minutes, then be told you won't be seated until half an hour after your reservation, while we give preferential treatment to our friends" Please avoid. If you are interested in French cuisine go to Crepe Nanou uptown. We had excellent service there.

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.

Next time, I would split it with a friend or two. Our server was also extremely friendly and made personalized recommendations on what to do next. Overall, super happy with this stop.
