Pujo Street Cafe

Pujo Street may be its former location, but the same convivial atmosphere, fresh food and attentive service seems to be the mainstay at this café now located on Ryan Street. An open fireplace, courtyard dining, live music and a full bar - all ring the right note of warm New Orleans hospitality.

The menu opens with starters of jumbo shrimps sautéed in olive oil, garlic and select spices, de-glazed with Mayhaw syrup and red pepper flakes, and chicken satay grilled with a spicy peanut marinade. In keeping with Louisiana's tradition chicken and sausage gumbo arrives with a serving of rice, or how about the Hollywood, with fresh mixed baby greens, roasted tomatoes, feta cheese, kalamata olives and candied pecans? Amongst main courses robust dishes include an 8 oz filet mignon, blackened New York strip, 12 oz rib eye marinated in select spices and abita beer.

There are happy hour specials each day of the week for those who love their drink without having to pay too much for it.
