Dining room at K-Paul's Louisiana Kitchen, New Orleans, LALegendary Cajun chef Paul Prudhomme is still firmly in charge of operations at the restaurant that made him famous, but Paul Miller serves at the helm in the kitchen. Both are natives of Opelousas, Louisiana, and Miller turns out Cajun-Creole fare worthy of the master's stamp. Hallmarks of this menu include super-rich sauces; the definitive blackened fish and beef dishes; country-style roasted duck with rice dressing; intensely seasoned, roux-thickened gumbos; properly fried crawfish tails (when in season); and such desserts as a classic bread pudding and a sweet potato-pecan pie with a big dollop of Chantilly cream. Crafting a wine list for this food is difficult, but the list recognizes that big flavors require big wines to stand up to them. Plus, there’s a smart list of Champagnes and sparkling wines to act as palate cleansers for Prudhomme's robust fare. To say the place runs like a well-oiled machine would be an understatement. The two floors are spiffily lined with bare brick, framed wall art and gleaming wood floors. The balcony and enclosed patio can be delightful in good weather.
