So with Mardi Gras 2021 pretty much cancelled, one of the few true pleasures left for Nola folks is eating great food (which we are VERY thankful for!) We've been making the rounds of amazing restaurants, and heard positive things about Apolline from everyone we met. So, brunch on Friday of Mardi Gras weekend it was!
The staff follow all safety protocols, and we felt 100% comfortable dining in - distancing, masks, sanitizer available, etc. We ordered a few of their craft cocktails to start (the Old Cuban and the Main Squeeze, both delicious), and then got a starter of their charbroiled oysters. We've had a ton of charbroiled and chargrilled through the city, and these didn't disappoint. Super tasty, and not overly filling. Highly recommended!
For main courses, we got their pork enchiladas and the "brunch burger". The enchiladas were tasty, and a TON of food. The eggs were done perfectly, and the sauce was not spicy (I was hoping for a little MORE spice, honestly). The standout, though, was the burger - it's just amazing. When I come back, that's the MOVE for sure! Lots of burgers out there, but this one was right up there with the best of them. We grabbed a few Catahoula Common beers to sip as we finished up - their beer menu is small but very good.
Our server, Nikai, was also just fantastic - very attentive, super friendly. We'll be back for sure!
