Coquette

Top choice in New Orleans


Coquette mixes wine-bar ambience with friendly service and a bit of white linen; the result is a candlelit place where you don’t feel bad getting tipsy. Explore beyond the respectable wine menu, though – there’s some great Louisiana-sourced food here, often with an innovative global spin. Choices may include charred broccoli and kohlrabi, or speckled trout with shrimp and sausage dressing.

The small plates are eclectic and highly recommended. Menus change daily. At the low-key but inviting bar, you might just find yourself seated beside a recognizable TV actor, dining and relaxing after a day on set.
