Paulette BleamMay 19, 2013Make sure to chat with Virg, the bouncer at the front door. He grew up next door, and has a genuine love for the area.
DavidJune 9, 2017Hip wine bar outside of the touristy section of town. Go for happy hour and get a cheese plate and bacon wrapped dates.
Cat WeaverMarch 18, 2013Just THE coolest place in town. Pick cheeses for a giant cheese plate. Bring a bottle of wine to the backyard... or sit upstairs at the bar and chat with the bartender.
ᴡ SteinerDecember 30, 2015Diverse selection of cheeses and wine. Worth the trip most definitely. And $5 off wine for happy hour until 6pm
A true gem of Bywater. You can do cheese and wine with music or a full dinner. Delicious.
Adam BAugust 11, 2017One of the best romantic spots in New Orleans. The backyard is so beautiful and the staff is always the best.
One of the best places to go for a great bottle of wine, bread, cheese, entrée, and dessert.....basically everything :) also very reasonably priced!
Stephanie MorenoFebruary 2, 2015I've had about half of their menu and every dish I had was delicious. Go with several friends so you can share plates.
Mark WJanuary 18, 2015But your wine by the bottle at less than half restaurant prices. Listen to music in the courtyard or nosh in the upstairs dining area. Relaxed fun.
So simple, yet so brilliant. Grab your favorite cheeses and a bottle from the wine shop, walk to the courtyard, and reeeelaxxxx.
Glen BischoffSeptember 16, 2016Really awesome place. Live music, very reasonable food prices plus significantly cheaper wine prices compared to a resturant
Melon LNovember 4, 2018Could stay here forever, drinking rose in the sun while listening to jazz. If not for obnoxious drunk randoms. If they were to regulate their drunk, ranting patrons, this place would be paradise.
Adrienne SOctober 17, 2013Great spot off the beaten path with an amazing drink selection, delicious menu, and enjoyable outdoor seating. A gem.
molly washamMay 27, 2016The Delice de Bourgogne is like tangy, grassy butter - delectable! Grab a bottle of Tournon Mathilda rose & you're set
P. D.May 5, 2019This is an example of why New Orleans is awesome. You don't really find spots like this in the rest of the US.
Melanie Loff-BirdAugust 7, 2014One of my favorite spots. Grab a bottle of wine, pick some cheese and enjoy lovely live music backyard-style
Scott S.July 28, 2014Of course, sit outside if you can. But if not, grab a bottle or two and sit upstairs with friends. Good times for sure.
Nik DawsonMarch 31, 2016Amazing. What a place! Never been to a wine bar like it. The best place I went to in New Orleans.

Jen M-EMay 6, 2016Great outside backyard chill vibe, but with live music and better cheese than you have in your own fridge.
LeahSeptember 7, 2015Brilliant concept, wonderful setting/vibes. Very cool spot in NOLA for music and wine/cheese.
Caroline SindersMarch 24, 2013amazing, amazing, amazing. but it's often hard to find parking right next to it. be prepared to walk a few blocks in the neighborhood.
a bMarch 9, 2016Get the cheese plate. You build your own out of the fridge. They provide bread, fruit, jam, olives, etc- Alex CavoulacosDecember 30, 2015The cheese plates are awesome and huge and come with all the fixings. Get one to share!
Kellie BoutwellDecember 8, 2012Wonderful atmosphere, great wine, and fantastic food. You MUST try the desserts!!!

Claire S.May 4, 2014BEST EVER. Make sure you get a block of cheese and a bottle of wine in the front. Live music later!
