Cafe Adelaide Restaurant Review

: Café Adelaide has the look of a fine dining restaurant, but it’s really a relaxed, somewhat more playful contemporary Creole bistro. Inspired by the late Adelaide Brennan, whose joie de vivre reportedly took her around the world, the establishment still harbors her spirit in the Swizzle Stick Bar, renowned in town for mixing up creative, modern cocktails. The kitchen, led by executive chef Carl Schaubhut, exults in blending traditional New Orleans cuisine (try the proper, medium-dark-roux seafood gumbo) and Southern fun (melon mojito salad). No Brennan family restaurant would be without a shrimp rémoulade, made at Adelaide by seasoning the shrimp with boiling spices and serving them with a cold, creamy sauce sweetened with Cognac. Creole tradition rules in the dessert to target, a bananas Foster sundae. The extensive wine list is likely to provide an appropriate pairing with your meal selection.
