Bijou and MaMou Set to Join the French Quarter’s Fall Dining Boom | Eater New Orleans

"Housed in a sweet historic Creole cottage at 1014 N. Rampart St., I note Bijou’s building had never been a restaurant before but has been retrofitted with a modern-looking lounge, two bars, a narrow dining area that spills onto a back courtyard, and a kitchen led by Eason Barksdale (who worked 14 years with Susan Spicer at Mondo and Bayona) focusing on small plates; the concise menu explores a number of cuisines with dishes like tom yum chicken, squid ink spaghetti, and tuna tartare, and the project was developed by a small group of local investors and nightclub proprietors including Jeff Bromberger — Bijou is open for dinner Wednesday–Saturday from 4 p.m. and for brunch (starting at 11 a.m.) and dinner on Sunday." - Clair Lorell
