An ivy-curtained sign beckons passersby with an inviting glow,. Upon entering, you are immediately overwhelmed by a plethora of exotic spices and the soothing strumming sounds of Southern Blues guitar. An eclectic décor; old paintings, Mardi Gras masks, beads and vibrant colors, literally transform you to a café in the Old French Quarter of lore.

Chateau Orleans is cozy and quaint and you instantly feel at home. In addition to great food and music, they pair this with an unparalleled wine and beer list. Being an aficionado of quality beer, the choice of hard to find micro-brews was a pleasant surprise. They even had one of my all time favourites: Mississippi Muds Black and Tan. And, no matter where you are seated you are within earshot of live music. The menu has something for all palettes. Whether you`re in the mood for Cajun Catfish, Boneless Pork Chops or just some southern barbecue, your taste buds are sure to be dancing.
