Le Cafe Eblouir (Gretna, LA)

Hungry & Fit are typically on the wrong side of the Mississippi River when it comes to the fun, cute places to hang out and eat. New Orleans and even Metairie have most of those spots, with a few exceptions in Algiers. Fortunately, earlier this year, we received a covid-related blessing in disguise. A local pastry chef, who had worked in hotels, decided to open up her own cafe instead of fighting to find a job in the recently unpredictable hospitality industry. Feast your eyes on the treats inside Le Cafe Eblouir!

Introducing our Guide to Eating NOLA

Tomorrow, we’re going to unveil a new page on the blog… our guide to Eating NOLA. Since we first moved to New Orleans, about a year ago, we’ve eaten at nearly 150 different places. (Multiple locations of the same chains don’t count.) We’ve dined at some of the most popular spots, while we’ve also found some dives that have very little press. We’ve gone big, with four or five trips to Commander’s Palace. Also, we’ve gone small, with a birthday dinner at a tiny Chinese restaurant in Gretna. What will the guide look like?
