French Quarter Cafe

Walking into the French Quarter Café, you could as easily be stepping off Bourbon Street as the parking lot. Colourful chalk draw­ings, photos of smiling jazz musicians and the open-to-view kitchen provide an effect owner Michael Raso calls New Orleans ‘electric’. Michael’s love affair with Cajun and Creole cuisine began 14 years ago with his first trip to Louisiana—he’s been back every year since to pick up new ideas. Exotic spices are key to Michael’s inspired fare—foods are not too hot (but hot sauce is available).

Open Monday to Wednesday 6:30 am to 6 pm; Thursday and Friday 6:30 am to 9 pm; Saturday 8 am to 9 pm; closed Sundays. Entrées are $20 to $28; $5.50 to $11.25 at breakfast and lunch. Wines are $29 to $52, $6 to $9 by the glass.
