We’ve had some really nice weather days. While it lasts, we think we need to take advantage of it. This week, the editor’s share their favorite bars and restaurants for enjoying the time we have nice weather.
Bacchanal Fine Wine and Spirits
“Bacchanal has a beautiful space and along with wine, cheese, and music, offers a tasty menu! When there’s an afternoon with a cool breeze, this is the perfect spot to be.”
–Reine Dugas, Editor Louisiana Life/Acadiana Profile
Bayona
“We just ate at Vessel’s courtyard for brunch and that was lovely — little brick fountain and all. My faves, though, are the charming, romantic courtyards at The Elysian Bar, The Columns and Bayona.”
–Kim Singletary, Editor Biz New Orleans
Bayou Wine Garden
“If you know me, you know Wine Garden is my favorite. The garlic parm fries and a carafe with your friends on the patio? What could be better than that? …nothing. The answer is nothing.”
–Kelly Massicot, Digital Editor
