Coquette and “Wine Wednesdays”
ByIn the year that it has been open, Coquette has became one of my most frequented restaurants in the city. A two storied quite chic bistro feel with brick walls and a long bar, which is my favorite place to eat. They have a small no stress menu heavily fish biased which is creative, light and yet totally New Orleans. Love the deep fried shrimp with arugula and sambal – one of the best dishes in the city and Wednesdays is fun for us imbibers, when they reduce all the wines per glass to only $5 (with exception of Veuve). Great bread and butter (which is the first test of any place in my books), great service and creative dishes that are not too expensive or rich.
The restaurant also boasts numerous original oil paintings of the recently deceased Louisiana artist Bill Hemmerling.
Highly recommended
