Cafe Granada specializes in the always-surprising food of Spain. The menu begins with a dazzling assortment of hot and cold tapas. The main courses are led off by superlative paella, followed by authentic treatments of beef, lamb, and seafood in the Andalusian and Catalan styles. If you've never had real Spanish food before, you'll find it fascinating to see the roots of New Orleans cuisine in this cookery. Cafe Granada also cooks a substantial menu of vegetarian dishes. Live music most nights in a cool, private dining room.
