 Dating to the late eighteenth century, the building in which Chartres House Café is located is said to have been the hangout of Tennessee Williams, among other notables. Opt for seating on the courtyard, at the candlelit bar, or in the dining rooms that feature French doors facing the street. Crawfish cakes, seafood platters, and red beans and rice are just a few of the options on the Cajun/Creole menu. This is the kind of place to stop by for a good stiff drink and then stay for a dinner of jambalaya, or perhaps an overstuffed fried oyster po’ boy. All of that should be followed by a piece of the too-tall chocolate cake or New York cheesecake. Don’t look for a fancy wine list or overly-attentive service, but do expect a hearty meal and plenty of people-watching.
