Cafe Degas Debuts Neighboring French Sandwich Shop and Bakery | Eater New Orleans

"Located on a gorgeous tree-draped block of Esplanade Avenue, Cafe Degas has been one of New Orleans’s defining French restaurants for nearly four decades; Jacques Soulas and business partner Jerry Edgar opened the restaurant in 1986 and named it based on its proximity to the Degas House. The restaurant is famed for its open-air dining room with a pecan tree growing in the middle, jovial, familiar service, and a consistent menu of classic French brasserie food like mussels and frites, escargot, French onion soup, and a seasonal soft-shell crab dish." - Clair Lorell
