Southern Chic Found at W New Orleans

By Written by Tracy Gielbert on January 6th, 2010

W Entrance

There are very few places that can combine that classic New Orleans fare with New York sophistication. Zoe Restaurant and Lounge located within the W New Orleans on our own Poydras Street serves as such a place. Sticking to their infamous W “Whatever/Whenever” standard, the ambience at Zoe is a perfect balance of traditional fine dining with modern flare.

Zoe-W

Serving traditional New Orleans favorites with that W twist, Chef Roberto Bustillo Jr. has recently added a new tapas menu to the mix, allowing guests to enjoy a plethora of his unique small plates. A three time Fleur de Lis award winner, Chef Bustillo also offers such culinary creations as Honey-Lavender Fresh Mint Crusted Rack of Lamb and Steamed Mero. Instead of the classic Duck L’Orange, Zoe offers Roasted Duck Breast with Rhubarb-Cherry Jus; a perfect example of Bustillo’s new and improved take on N’awlins comfort food.

Zoe Bar

Known for their chic bar area and numerous “W Happenings” events, Zoe is also the gracious host of our own Hungry?Thirsty? New Orleans Launch Party, scheduled this week on Monday evening, January 12. Doors open to the public at 7pm, and the first 50 guests receive a complimentary copy of our Hungry?Thirsty? guide. Come out and support your fellow N’awlins writers and rub elbows with the NOLA foodies over our signature Thirsty? Cosmopolitan!

Zoe is and will continue to thrive as a Big Easy favorite, so grab your friends and Laissez les Bons Temps Rouler!!!
