 Visitors walking along Royal Street literally stop in their tracks when they pass the open gate leading to Café Amelie’s lush courtyard dining area. The traditional Creole dishes are given a twist: the BLT, for example, is created with apple wood-smoked bacon and locally grown tomatoes on sourdough bread. Roast beef on ciabatta comes with a blue cheese-cracked black pepper spread. Salmon with a creamy horseradish sauce is among the fish offerings, but the rack of lamb makes the menu's boldest statement, enhanced with pepper jelly sauce and bits of mango and potent Scotch bonnet peppers. Sunday brunch is a delight, particularly if you choose the Amelie frittata, made with organic eggs, with potato, asparagus, tomatoes, cream cheese and fresh herbs. The bar is inviting, and there is no more relaxing place in the French Quarter to enjoy one of the restaurant’s wines by the glass. Children get special attention with tables and chairs appropriately sized for them, but no highchairs are available.
