"A restaurant led by chef Nina Compton that served as an important formative stop in the professional development of a younger local chef, who cites time spent there among her most influential early experiences." - Beth D’Addono
"Opened in 2015 as the chef’s first New Orleans restaurant following a move from Miami, located inside the Old No. 77 Hotel & Chandlery in the Central Business District and serving as the chef’s local flagship." - Beth D’Addono
"Compère Lapin’s soulful Caribbean cuisine earned chef Nina Compton a James Beard award. Tuck into some of that goodness on Mardi Gras day, when the restaurant stays open for regular dinner hours, 5:30 p.m. to 9 p.m. Savor the likes of jerked pork belly, tuna ceviche, curried goat with sweet potato gnocchi, and fried chicken with coconut grits." - Beth D’Addono
"Chef Nina Compton’s Caribbean and Creole restaurant; its bar is led by bartender Erika Flowers, who was named one of Punch’s best new bartenders of 2023." - Nadia Chaudhury
"A New Orleans restaurant blending Caribbean flavors with European techniques, included in the festival's restaurant selection." - Clair Lorell
