"One of the best times to visit this tropical standout in New Orleans is during happy hour from 5 to 7 p.m., where you’ll find $8 frozen drinks." - Missy Frederick
"Long known for its cocktails, Cane and Table recognizes that brunch calls for mimosas. Entrees might include avocado toast with a jammy egg and salsa macha, biscuits and gravy, and a fiery fried chicken sandwich. While you’re there, though, it’s worth trying cocktails from its most excellent bar — think micheladas, bloody marys, hurricanes, frozen palomas, etc. Courtyard dining is an option." - Beth D’Addono
"Cane & Table delivers super cocktails on lower Decatur, along with a vegetable-centric menu served in one of the most beautiful outdoor spaces in the Quarter. Done up in tropical oasis meets tiki, this is the spot to enjoy the likes of avocado salad, tuna ala plancha, and garlic soup with sourdough croutons." - Missy Frederick
"Cane & Table offers something altogether different in the Quarter, mixing tropical, historical, and romantic touches for an enchanting atmosphere. Known for its menu of standout Caribbean cocktails, the food is excellent too, with Cuban, Jamaican, and Garifuna flavors informing small plates of crab croquetas, pork skins, and grilled octopus and entrees like arroz con pollo, fish rundown, and zarzuela de mariscos, a Catalan seafood stew. Now open seven days a week." - Clair Lorell
"It’s hard to tell if Cane & Table is a restaurant with great drinks, or a fancy cocktail bar that serves surprisingly good food. Either way, their big back courtyard is the perfect place to escape the chaos of nearby Bourbon Street. They have one of the most diverse cocktail menus in the city and serve a solid mix of rotating small plates and entrees, like a braised and crispy pork ribeye and a whole roasted fish. Whether you need a place for a big group or somewhere for a date, Cane & Table is the spot." - megan braden perry, zella palmer
