French-Louisiana cafe serving pastries, brunch, lunch, and dinner
"Modern french cuisine café and high-end specialty grocery. The grocery usually features: a smorgasbord of cheeses, baguettes, cookies, beer, wine and boutique items. Everything you experience at épecerie has a high level of attention to detail, from the thoughtfully crafted meals to treats and drinks. Brunch, Lunch, and Dinner are all quite lovely. The feel of the space has a relaxed, authentic, and positive energy about it. This is a great place to take or meet a group of about 6 friends out to a meal. The indoor space is airy, tidy and has enough space for about 46, however when it’s packed it can get pretty loud, which is uncommon people tend to come and go in a good flow." - XtraMileMedia
"Any day of the week, you can count on Epicerie in Allandale for an epic bakery counter. If kouign-amanns and pecan cinnamon rolls sound too sweet, there’s the hedonistic, wobbly quiche, or the flaky breakfast croissant sandwich that’ll leave your hands shiny with butter. But the Sunday-only brunch menu items—like soft cooked eggs with trout roe alongside a za’atar english muffin, or strawberries with housemade ricotta—are dishes to plan your day around." - nicolai mccrary, raphael brion, matthew jacobs
"Epicerie, the French/Louisianan all-day cafe and grocery in Allandale, has had a shrimp po’boy on their menu since they opened in 2012. So they’ve had a little time to perfect it. The sandwich, just brimming with crispy fried shrimp, is a simple affair, with thinly-sliced pickles, lettuce, tomato, mayo, and remoulade. It’s the kind of sandwich you’ll think fondly of afterwards, and then just order again." - nicolai mccrary, matthew jacobs, raphael brion
"Starting at 10 a.m. on weekends, this New Orleans-inspired restaurant’s daytime brunch is filled with egg-filled wonders, including classic breakfast croissant sandwiches and quiches, as well as more innovative dishes like chicken and sausage gumbo and duck confit with grits. Vegetarian options also abound, including the lion’s mane mushroom quiche. The charming farmhouse-style restaurant features a tempting bakery counter and a small back patio ideal for devouring your treats in the sunshine. Takeout orders can be placed online." - Nadia Chaudhury
"Tucked into a quiet corner of Rosedale, Epicerie offers a relaxed midday retreat with a French-Louisiana twist. The lunch menu here strikes a cozy balance between rustic and refined, with fried shrimp po’boys and refreshing kale Caesar salads. The side patio, shaded and cheerful, feels like a neighborhood secret. Lunch runs from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. daily. Pro tip: Impress your dining companions by ordering beignets for the table." - Darcie Duttweiler
