Lovely little Parisian style cafe in the Quarter. They have excellent food, beignets that I think are better than Cafe du Monde's, and a full bar. Thursday nights they have swing dancing upstairs.

Classic greasy spoon, don't go for the decor because it hasn't been updates since the 70's. Go for the food, especially breakfast. No pretenses, no gimmicks.
