Hidden down an alley near Kathmandu Guest House, New Orleans boasts an intimate candlelit vibe, a classy blues and jazz soundtrack and live music on Wednesdays and Saturdays. It’s a popular spot for a cocktail, but the menu also ranges far and wide, from Thai curries to Creole jambalaya and oven-roasted veggies. You need to book a table in the high season.
