La Boulangerie (Uptown, New Orleans, LA)

Posted on September 20, 2015 by chefsgirlnola@gmail.com

Ham & Cheese Croissant. Almond Croissant. I first heard of La Boulangerie years ago from my high school French teacher. She was originally from France and raved about this place! I decided to go back for brunch today. We ordered The Ham & Cheese croissant and the Almond Croissant. It was pretty

District Donuts (Lower Garden District, New Orleans, LA)

Posted on August 23, 2015 by chefsgirlnola@gmail.com

I decided to pick up donuts for work and who better than to go to District Donuts? It’s a local restaurant and donut shop that serves fresh and homemade donuts as well as breakfast and lunch sandwiches. What’s interesting on the menu are the Croquenuts. They are Donuts grilled to sandwich perfection. Trust me…if you’re

Cafe Du Monde (Veterans, Metairie, LA)

Posted on August 23, 2015 by chefsgirlnola@gmail.com

I’ve always been a bit biased towards ONLY going to the French Quarter Cafe Du Monde location since I’ve had such bad experiences with the mall locations in the past. I haven’t tried the Veterans location until now. It’s a lot cleaner and the inside actually looks very similar to being outdoors in the French

Compère Lapin (Warehouse District, New Orleans, LA)

Chef Nina Compton is Caribbean native that was one of the top Top Chef contestants on the Bravo TV Channel. Although she didn’t get the top spot, her success lead to her recent endeavor: Compère Lapin. With her Caribbean roots and background in French cuisine, she’s created a menu that’s unlike any other in New Orleans. My fiancé

Lotus Xpress (Harvey, LA)

This restaurant recently switched ownership from My Thai and is now either Lotus Xpress or Lotus Cafe (Yelp and their signs differ). I went to My Thai a few months ago in search of really great Thai food. I actually didn’t go inside, because it looked so dead inside! My mistake, because even though Lotus

Chipotle (Veterans, Metairie, LA)

This review is strictly to this location and not the franchise itself. I love Chipotle. Everything is so fresh and flavorful, however, this particular location fails. Maybe they recently opened and haven’t had things fine-tuned yet BUT it’s a franchise and operation is usually consistent among stores. First, the building is quite small so there’s

Chipotle (Harahan, Metairie, LA)

Posted on August 18, 2015 by chefsgirlnola@gmail.com

This has to be my favorite Chipotle location in the New Orleans area! I was a little hesitant at first, because I’m so used to the speedy service at other Chipotle locations around the states and this one was pretty slow and inefficient a few months ago. The last few times I’ve been there, I’ve

Ippudo (East Village, New York, NY)

Posted on August 18, 2015 by chefsgirlnola@gmail.com

One of the top 2 recommended ramen joints in New York is Ippudo. There are two locations, but we went to the East Village location. When you enter, Ippudo hostesses, waiters, and chefs greet you energetically in Japanese and immediately set the mood for a fun night. Apparently, Ippudo is an internationally recognized Japanese restaurants
