NEW ORLEANS (press release) – In New Orleans, historically speaking – morning, noon, and night cocktails are just a pour away! Ralph Brennan Restaurant Group has a hold on the afternoon hours! It is light on the wallet, but not on the food and drinks.
On the cusp of the Quarter- Red Fish Grill led by Executive Chef Chris Vazquez, a 10 year veteran, having cooked alongside Wolfgang Puck, is shucking out the best deal for oysters – NEW BOGO BBQ Oysters – Buy 1/2 Dozen, Get 1/2 Dozen FREE. It is offered daily from 3-5 p.m., at the Oyster Bar! The signature BBQ Oysters [gluten-free option available] have been named a “Most Memorable Meal” from Forbes – the flash-fried Oysters are tossed in Crystal Hot Sauce with Honey BBQ and topped with housemade Blue Cheese Dressing and Crumbles. Add on satisfying bar snacks from Deep Fried Cajun Fish Bites to Louisiana Crawfish Bread. $7 dollar cocktails include the Blueberry Mojito featuring Rum, Blueberry, Mint, and Soda or choose selected wines by the glass.
It’s a bubbly jubilee at the iconic pink restaurant, Brennan’s, when it comes to the most popular tradition in the courtyard – Champagne Sabering and Bubbles at Brennan’s! As a 2024 Tales of the Cocktail Semi-finalist for the “Top 10 Best US Restaurant Bar Award,” there is even more reason to dine and imbibe during its celebrated Happy Hour! Sip selections of top Champagne vintners and premiere sparkling wine houses at a reduced cost – along with savory snacks and seasonal cocktails. “Bubbles at Brennan’s” is offered: Monday through Thursday – 2-6 p.m., and Fridays from 9 a.m. – 6 p.m. with Champagne Sabering at 5 p.m.
Complimentary of each other – a refreshment destination and gallery space – Café NOMA at the New Orleans Museum of Art is in the hands of “culinary curator” Bernard Carmouche, who came to Cafe NOMA after 20 years of working with Emeril. Wednesday Night Happy Hour, 3-6 p.m. features $6 cocktails like the Strawberry Fields with Vodka, Strawberry Purée, Basil, and fresh Lemonade, along with $6 wines by the glass and $5 beers. The good times roll with small plates, including the Prosciutto Flatbread with roasted Garlic Cream Sauce, Honey Goat Cheese, Micro Arugula Balsamic Drizzle, and Louisiana Strawberries.
For Ralph’s on the Park 20th Anniversary, it is real golden opportunity for this year – Executive Chef Knut Mjelde makes Happy Hour a smash hit with Wagyu Smashburger with Hand-Cut Fries and a glass of Daou, ‘Sequentis’ Reserve Merlot, Paso Robles, CA 2020 for just $20.00.
