It's not exactly New Orleans quality, but Nathalie Richard and Bertrand Jardon do a fine imitation of Louisiana fare at this large restaurant with tables inside or on a plantation-like veranda. Spicy gazpacho, jambalaya, and whole crab Cajun-style offer relief from the French sauces that rule elsewhere. Two fixed-price menus offer three courses each of either French or Cajun fare. Nathalie and Bertrand turn down the lights at night, creating romantic ambience.
