"For the uninitiated, MaMou is not a reference to the town in Evangeline Parish, but to the pet name for chef Tom Branighan’s great-grandmother. A partnership with master sommelier Molly Wisemeier, the 48-seat art Nouveau-style restaurant showcases Branighan’s passion for nouvelle French cuisine. Try the mussels Provencale with sauce Basquez and rouille and the divine pork charcoute with sauce Robert, executed with loving precision. The compact wine list reveals the sommelier’s thoughtful design." - Beth D'Addono
