| - This place was originally on Markham St, but moved due to Honest Ed's closure. At first glance, the environment felt somewhat exciting with the Cajun decor. Looked at the winterlicious menu as I wait for my friends to come.
3 courses for $28:
- Beginnings: Spinach Lentil Soup, N'awlins Gumbo, Special Salad and Cajun Samosas.
- Principals: Lafayette Etouffee, Bayou Chicken (local), Canal Street Jambalaya and French Market Cauliflower Bake.
- Sweet Endings: Pavlova, N'awlins Bread Pudding, Sweet Potato Pecan Praline Brownie, Homemade Ice cream or Sorbet and Fresh Fruit Cup.
They have some $8 Special Drinks for Winterlicious, which I took Southern Jim. The drink on it's own felt a bit too strong. As I eat my Canal Street Jambalaya, the taste of the drink actually complements the spiciness of my dish.
The Spinach Lentil Soup was good, but my ignorance of the N'awlins Bread Pudding led to an unexpected disappointment. My ideal thought of "pudding" was more of a soft creamy texture. Yet the reality of this "pudding" was nowhere soft nor creamy. To make things worst, there was a taste of bitter orange inside this block of pudding. Should have chose the Sorbet instead.
Overall the meal was good. As for the service, our waiter took a bit longer to come by as the restaurant was somewhat crowed.
