Wow, what a place.
Amazing array of Cajun and Creole food, beautifully presented and so tasty.
We had an absolute feast
$32 per person, All you can eat buffet from 11-3.
We had booked for 2pm. The Jazz stops at 2.30 and they clear away from 2.45 so I would book earlier another time.
What an idyllic place. Jazz, hidden courtyard, fabulous food and dining under the trees in the sunshine.
So much food to choose from
Huge Salad station
Creole choices like gumbo, jambalaya, shrimp
Rice, potatoes , noodles, duck
Carvery Rib of Beef
Half a dozen dessert choices
And that's just what we had
I had coronation chicken and some cheese and pasta to start
The jambalaya, duck , mash and chicken gumbo
Washed down with a mimosa, and so good I got a second plateful
Andy had shrimp and rib
And a bottle of red wine.
I tried all the desserts
Apple cobbler, lemon cake, chocolate cake and bread pudding
The bill
We thought it was brilliant value for a totally chilled out experience
It was about as perfect as you could wish for, sitting in the sunshine, listening to Jazz and eating the most delicious food while the city bustled about around this quiet courtyard.
It was one of those moments you wish you could bottle.
With very full bellies and feeling very content , we headed back to the hotel to chill out for a while , taking in some of the street performers in Jackson Square along the way.
Andy was so impressed with the lunch, he was all for booking it again tomorrow - it was that good
We lazed around until just after 7 when we headed down to the hotel bar to listen to the band and have a couple of drinks.
What a lovely day it had been mooching around with great food and drink in between !
The next day is
