Bourre
1510 S Carrollton Ave, New Orleans, LA 70118, USA
Uptown 4: Riverbend, Carrollton & Broadmoor
Dining Room
The cottage has no large spaces, but is built so substantially that no tenant has ever knocked walls out wholesale. This results in small tables jammed into some inconvenient corners. And in a seat count much smaller than the number of diners who show up of an evening. Even with a reservation, you may spend some time on the porch or the sidewalk. But enough others are out there that a social scene results.
Most Interesting Dishes
TP: James Denio and chef Nathanial Zimet will move their popular restaurant Boucherie around the corner to Carrollton Avenue. In the original Boucherie location, they'll open their new wings and fresh fruit daiquiri shop. Zimet ran the purple Q Crawl truck before opening Boucherie, and Bourré will take him back to his street-food roots. On the menu, you'll also find items like Spanish tapas and mussels with fries.
Deficiencies
As they did for all the previous restaurants here, the shortage of room to move in cramps the style of everything here. Someday, they will have to move.
For Best Results
Boucherie is unexpectedly adept at creating cocktails, and you should begin the meal with one of their many originals. Lunch is less densely packed than dinner, although the menus (and prices) are nearly identical.
