"Cafe Degas sits on one of New Orleans’s dramatically tree-lined thoroughfares, Esplanade Avenue, just a few blocks from the house Edgar Degas lived in during his several-month stint in the city. The dining room, more like an open-air patio with a pecan tree growing in the middle of it, is the quintessential New Orleans setting for dishes like mussels and frites, escargot, French onion soup, and the seasonal soft shell crab dish, at surprisingly reasonable prices." - Clair Lorell, Eater Staff
