Cafe Rose Nicaud

May 26, 2019

New Orleans, LA

Good morning Rose..
The Rose Benedict and the cafe are named for the 1st coffee vendor in Nola Ms. Rose Nicaud. A slave that was able to purchase her freedom from the proceeds she earned from her own business @caferosenicaud 
This sandwich OMG
An open faced biscuit with garlic mayo, portabella mushrooms, caramelized onions, avocado, tomato, I chose scrambled eggs rather than sunny side up, topped with Asiago cheese on a bed of mixed greens placed gently open top of rosemary grits that had a drizzle of balsamico 
Delicious!!!

Atchafalaya

Brunch isn’t just for Sunday, @atchafalayafood it’s everyday and they have nailed it. Everything was super yum! 

Accompanied with a grapefruit Bellini although the Bloody Mary bar was extremely enticing. 

This multi-floored restaurant is really cute, excellent service and once again that Southern hospitality and charm that warms my heart. 
Even the table of businessmen seated outside next to us politely asked if we mind if they smoked their cigars, to which we replied no, it’s fine. 

Being polite and having manners I learned last evening is something that as one of my Uber drivers said.. “ it doesn’t matter what your background is or what neighborhood you’re from, down here we are raised to have manners, to be polite, to say good morning or hello”. What a lovely way to be raised. 

Cream Cheese Grits~ so creamy and tasty 

Strawberry and Sweet Potato Salad

This is absolutely the BEST salad I have EVER had! This Strawberry and Sweet Potato salad is ridiculously perfect.Charred Strawberry Vinaigrette with pickled strawberries, sweet potato crisps and topped with dried olive oil. What? I never knew nor had dried olive oil. Good AF.

Arugula & Slicing Tomato salad on a light smear of Greek yogurt, drizzled with a sugarcane gastrique, cucumber and cornbread croutons. Look at those gorgeous and delicious tomatoes

Warm biscuit with the freshest strawberry jam you can get

Breakfast Potatoes that we’re seasoned just right with the perfect amount of garlic
