Spring is almost here… or at least the New Orleans version of spring. And that means weather perfect for outdoor dining. This week, the editor’s share their favorite bars and restaurants for enjoying the small amount of time we have nice weather.
Bacchanal Fine Wine and Spirits
“I love Bacchanal for evenings when there is a nice breeze and I can grab a great bottle of wine and cheese plate and share with friends while listening to music.” –Andy Myer, Editor St. Charles Avenue
Bayona
“I love 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
Café Degas
“Dinner at the tables by the open windows at Cafe Degas on a gorgeous evening is perfect. Get the escargot even if you think you don’t like escargot – they are tender and drowning in garlic butter!” –Melanie Warner Spencer, Editor New Orleans Bride/New Orleans Homes
The Elysian Bar
“The courtyard at the Elysian Bar is ridiculously charming!” –Kim Singletary, Editor Biz New Orleans
Sylvain
“The back of the courtyard at Sylvain is a favorite spot for enjoying a leisurely lunch when the weather is nice!” –Andy Myer, Editor St. Charles Avenue
The Will & The Way
“The courtyard is a favorite stopping off spot for top notch cocktails and creative snacks. The atmosphere is cool and lush.” –Ashley McLellan, Editor New Orleans Magazine
