Soul food and Creole home cooking overlap closely in New Orleans, built on the same long-simmered, deeply seasoned foundation. On this page the thread runs through Coquette in the Garden District and Boucherie in Carrollton-Riverbend, two kitchens that fold Southern comfort cooking into a more refined, contemporary setting.
Coquette in New Orleans is the Magazine and Washington corner restaurant from Michael Stoltzfus, a 2008 modern-Southern room with rotating tasting menus.
OrderWhatever the Blind Faith tasting menu is running that week. Trust the kitchen.
TipSit upstairs for the corner-window view; downstairs runs faster and louder.
Boucherie in New Orleans is Nathanial Zimet's Carrollton tasting-menu room, a former food truck turned Southern-modern five-course degustation.
OrderThere is no choice; the five-course tasting changes with the produce. End with the Krispy Kreme bread pudding.
TipBourree next door is the daiquiri and wings spinoff; sit there first for a cocktail before dinner.
