Royal Street is parallel to Bourbon Street. With our hotel on Royal, we are right in the midst of French Quarter delights…especially food! At the Monteleone Hotel, the Carousel Bar is the center of things. To actually get a seat at the revolving bar, you would have to arrive well before noon. But, we were seated nearby and enjoyed crab beignets and fried chicken sliders…as well as Old Fashioneds!
Just down the street is the French Quarter Beignet Shop. Each morning we would hop out of bed, run down the street and get coffee, hot chocolate, and hot beignets to go, then take it all back to bed for a late morning. Delicious!
Brunch at noon was at the famous “Breakfast at Brennan’s,” just down the street. My favorite was Eggs Sardou, poached eggs on deep fried artichoke bottoms with Bernaise sauce. We had to go back and take a nap after that!
We finished our culinary delights with dinner at Mr. B’s Bistro, another Brennan Family restaurant.
It is a good thing we didn’t need to leave early the following day since it took a long night’s sleep to recover from all of our eating. What wonderful days!
