Meauxbar Bistro

My husband and I hunted down this restaurant specifically for the Yal-A-Mein. We were staying in an Airbnb only a few blocks away and saw this restaurant listed on eater and with this convenient location we thought it was worth a try! We are so glad that we went! We walked in on a Friday around 5 o'clock without a reservation. They were able to sit us at a table but also had a few open spots at the bar as well. The atmosphere was Gothic with classy revival and had a very cool modern New Orleans vibe. We ordered the bone marrow appetizer that I think was around $15 and the Yak-A-Mein was 18 I believe. My husband lived in China for two years and has become a total Asian foodie and he was absolutely in love with the Yal-A-Mein. Saw where there was a happy hour menu listed as well with several of the appetizers highly discounted and a list of cocktails for five dollars. My husband had a Moscow Mule which he thought it tasted great and I had a drink that resembled a martini and it was great as well. Both drinks for five dollars which I thought was amazing price for a hand crafted cocktail especially in New Orleans. Or wait staff was knowledgeable and friendly and the restaurant was well staffed and clean. I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone especially if you need a day after too much fun cure!

This was the best meal I had on my stay in New Orleans. I had the special which was a crisp chicken breast atop biscuits with a garlic butter, and a light tomato based cream sauce with sauteed greens. It was exceptional, I let my server know it should definitely go on the main menu. My date had the steak frites and he said they were amazing. We came in time for the happy hour specials and I enjoyed a lovely daiquiri. We shared the creme brulee for dessert and it was a great finish to a fantastic experience. Nice ambiance here as well!

Meauxbar had been on the "to do" list for some time, and since we were coming into the French Quarter to help another friend celebrate his birthday, we decided to have Sunday brunch here first. My gin cocktail was listed under "Strange and Adventurous" and included green tea, shochu, loganberry, lemon, whey, cucumber and strega. Those ingredients might sound a little different, but the result was quite delicious! My friend had only the deviled eggs of the day and while we both enjoy garlic, they had a LOT of garlic. I had the Sweet Potato Hash with Duck Confit and a fried egg, which I enjoyed, but would have liked even more if the egg had been over easy so that the yolk would have mixed with the hash. Lindsay, our server, did a fine job.
