Coquette Bistro and Bar (New Orleans) 01/10

Magazine Street runs about five miles from the French Quarter to the zoo. Apart from residences it has every imaginable sort of shop and dozens of bars, pizza shops, cafes, bistros and restaurants. Only the coffee culture seems to be missing. Coquette is a fairly recent addition in the street and serves a better quality meal than most. That is partly because most of them are awful
Service is friendly as is the warm atmosphere. It is a simply furnished long room with a bar along one side, bare brick walls featuring an attractive impressionistic, almost three dimensional painting of the restaurant. They have a menu that changes daily. Appetizers were tiny
this tasty serve of mini ravioli was about two mouths full. They did make the main courses as requested, a good size lightly cooked snapper
and a hanger steak
were both good courses. A dessert of beignets,
small spherical donuts, served on half a banana, was as expected but a strawberry cake turned up as two large sweet biscuits sandwiching whipped cream and strawberries.
Score: 13.5/20
