"I'm glad the French Quarter location of Cleo’s Mediterranean Cuisine, which first debuted in 2019, has reopened after nearly three years of pandemic-related closure; the elegant sit-down version of the Canal Street grab-and-go store occupies 117 Decatur Street (the former location of Cafe Giovanni, which closed in 2017 after 26 years) and currently offers a revamped Halal menu geared toward a French Quarter crowd, available Wednesday through Sunday from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m., with Tuesdays being added beginning next week." - Clair Lorell
