In the French Quarter, at Cane & Table, Chef Alfredo Nogueira's seasonally-driven menus are coastal inspired and marry Caribbean flavors with Cuban influences. He takes a straightforward approach and is authentic to both his heritage and the region, utilizing culinary traditions that are now en vogue but that New Orleans cooks have been using for centuries, from whole-animal utilization to preserving and pickling. Our bartenders are not only masters of the classics, but also leaders and innovators in the cocktail community, having enjoyed recognition from the likes of Esquire, Southern Living, and Food and Wine Magazine. Cane & Table was also named a semi-finalist for the James Beard Foundation for ‘Outstanding Bar Program.” "Cocktails are drawn not from the 20th-century movement that brought us the mai tai and the scorpion, but from its spiritual predecessor out of the Caribbean, an area with complicated and important ties to New Orleans." - The New York Times
“Absolutely the best meal, the best service and the best drinks. Love grabbing a bar seat whenever we are in New Orleans. The bartender made us a Painkiller with See the Elephant Amaro and Coruba rum that was phenomenal. Then we had some Coctel Camarones. Entree was the Fish Rundown which is a fried drum with crawfish. Just incredible. Then we finished the meal with a digestivo shot of some fun rum and amaro. Will 100% be back! Hopefully soon!”
“Total hidden gem - it doesn't look like much from the outside, but once you step in, its funky and full of character. I had a beet salad, steak frites, and a passionfruit lemonade. My colleague ordered the crawfish croquetas and steak frites. Everything was delicious and cooked well. I would have preferred the fries with the sauce on the side, but i didn't realize i needed to ask based on how menu was written. Overall, it was a great meal and a nice night. So glad we were able to get a table. The included gratuity didn't bother me - honestly, some people just don't know how to tip.”
“What a neat little spot. This spot has great, and I mean great, cocktails and a surprising Caribbean fusion menu that will knock your socks off. The restaurant it self has a rustic relaxed feel, and the staff is laid back, but attentive and friendly. I had a Thai inspired cocktail that truly surprised me. It captured the taste of peanuts while somehow utilizing gin as a base. The world never ceases to amaze. I ordered several appetizers, with the crawfish croquettes being the true winner. Culinarily I found the chefs ability to mix flavors profiles and create recipes to be a show stopper. My only complaint came from the pork which was too dry to eat. That’s not a chef creativity issue but more an issue on the line chefs not paying attention. Over all the food profile was stunning and I’d return in a heart beat.”
“First night of the French Quarter Festival found us at Cane and Table. Beautiful interior and a fine night for us on the generous patio. Amazing cocktail program yielded a top notch frozen pina colada made with a fresh young coconut crème. One dish not to miss is the CRISPY BRAISED PORK RIBEYE with Yucca Hash, Avocado, Tomato, Cucumber and Mojo Verde. The pork was melt in your mouth perfect and the combination of the yucca, avocado, and cucumber was a fascinating study in contrasting temperatures, textures and flavors. Charming, eloquent service was an added bonus. Wonderful meal!”
“Very informal place with great vibe and food! I was worried initially because reservation was easy compared to other places we’ve been to in NOLA, but gladly it turned out real fun. Waitress was genuinely cheerful and helpful, the patio seating was a delight and having a cat visit us a huge plus! Food was really great - sweet plantains were terrific, salad crisp and joyful, fish rundown great , and their take on steak Frits - very refreshing. We also like that they add 20% to ensure pay for servers - we still added a tip as appreciation to the server - she was great - but loved the approach”
