[title type="h5"]Broussard's: The Best Coolinary Price This Year[/title]
One of the Grand Dame French-Creole restaurants of the French Quarter, Broussard's changed hands a couple of years ago. The new management first performed a very agreeable renovation of much of the premises (bigger courtyard, now open for dining). Then a new chef and the concomitant new menu. Interesting turn: instead of heading upwards, the prices at Broussard's are approach those of a bistro. The Coolinary is a good example of this: the three courses go for $19.20--the year the place opened. This menu is a pleasant surprise at that price:Balsamic Strawberry Salad
