The new jewel of the hipster half mile, a.k.a. Frenchmen St., is this sleek yet homey enclave. New twists on traditionally New Orleans ingredients has become somewhat of a cliché but here flavors from Spain and the Caribbean blend seamlessly with Cajun nuances. The arroz con pollo and Gulf seafood paella are given authenticity and flare by Cuban executive chef Jorge Longoria. The serrano fig salad is a popular choice for light fare lovers and vegetarians will rave over the surprisingly hearty vegan ravioli.
