The Best Breakfast Restaurants in New Orleans | Eater New Orleans

"Melissa Araujo’s Honduran heritage informs every aspect of Alma Cafe in Bywater, from the photos on the walls to the coffee beans, sweets, and savory offerings on the menu. Traditional treats might include buñuelo macheteadas, a deep fried pancake topped with syrup, and cookie-like rosquillas. For breakfast, starting at 8 a.m., the Alma includes eggs, refried beans, plantains, avocado, homemade crema, and queso fresco. Avocado toast, biscuits, and omelets are also served." - Beth D’Addono

Where to Eat on Christmas in New Orleans | Eater New Orleans

"Kick off the holiday with chef Melissa Araujo’s modern Honduran brunch (8 a.m. to 3 p.m.), best paired with creative cocktails. Alongside breakfast tacos and blue crab toast there are savory salads and the best homemade pastelitos de carne (meat pies with Honduras red sauce). The tuna enchilada is also listed as a winner." - Clair Lorell

Open for breakfast and lunch daily, Alma’s menu offers many dishes rooted in homemade tortillas, served with eggs, aguachile, and carne asada.

The Best Restaurants in New Orleans’s Bywater Neighborhood | Eater New Orleans

"Chef Melissa Araujo offers sweet and savory modern traditional Honduran food at Alma, a charming neighborhood spot for breakfast and lunch. There’s a Honduran coffee bar and fresh juices (and now booze) along with breakfast from 8 a.m. that includes traditional American and Honduran breakfasts, the latter of which comes with eggs, refried beans, plantains, avocado, homemade crema, and queso fresco. Try the chicharrones, pastelitos (meat pies), mushroom toast, and salsa verde ceviche with local shrimp. Honduran burgers, cooked to medium, are ground there, with mix-ins like fresh herbs, onions and bell pepper, and a secret sauce." - Beth D’Addono
