Best French bistro. Hamburger Fonfon with comté & pommes frites (rated the one of the top 10 best Hamburger in USA), Shrimp and avocado salad with sauce rémoulade and Coconut cake are my favorites. You must make reservation 2 weeks ahead unless you want to be the lucky one to find a seat at bar.

The best southern BBQ, Pork n’Greens and Sweet Tea Fried Chicken Sandwich are my favorites. This is very small family restaurant, you must go there early to avoid the lines and you will have to sit outside. It is great lunch spot. It is at the same area as the Avondale Brewing Company.
