"At the far end of the Bywater, you’ll find Bacchanal, a weird little wine shop that evolved into a wine garden utopia and one of the coolest places you can spend a night in New Orleans. After you pick out a bottle, head outside to the big backyard where you can drink, order food, and catch live music every night of the week. There’s also a semi-secret cocktail and wine bar upstairs, which is the perfect place to take in the scene and survey the backyard for available seats." - chelsea brasted, megan braden perry

"A lively Södermalm neighborhood spot run by four young chefs whose frequently changing chalkboard menu emphasizes seasonal produce and supplier-driven creativity. Dishes blend Nordic ingredients with familiar formats—think a pizza bianco–style flatbread with zucchini and fresh cheese topped by pickled chanterelles and dill flowers, or a salad of Swedish tomatoes with tomato-water beurre blanc, grapes, and figs—created through collaborative, iterative menu development." - Simon Bajada
"A New Orleans restaurant that has been invited as an out-of-town guest for a recent edition of the outdoor series, illustrating the program’s occasional inclusion of notable nonlocal talent." - Ashok Selvam
"Bacchanal, a Bywater wine shop known for its amazing courtyard and live music, offers a seasonal menu of small plates like bacon wrapped dates and a terrific cheese plate — pick the cheeses and meats in the shop out front and they arrive with stellar accoutrements. There are substantial bites too, including a whole fish and grilled pork chop. There’s also a cocktail bar that offers indoor seating for when the backyard is simply too packed. Bacchanal matured into a hot spot following Hurricane Katrina, and despite its current must-do status with tourists, remains an important part of the neighborhood." - Beth D’Addono
