Café Fleur-de-lis (http://www.cafefleurdelis.com/)
at 307 Chartres St. in the French Quarter of New Orleans is a great spot for
breakfast or lunch. I ate breakfast there twice, and loved both meals.
The first time, I had Seafood Benedict with Crab &
Crawfish cakes and poached eggs over biscuit with a slightly spicy hollandaise
sauce, tomato, and plain grits. The café also offered cheese grits or hash
browns with this dish. It was really, really good. The cost was $14. The
regular coffee, for $3.25, was nice.
Ron, the server, was excellent. Even, though there was a
wait for a table, I never felt rushed.
The second time, I
enjoyed Eggs Benedict - poached eggs over Canadian bacon, and toasted muffin,
with a slightly spicy hollandaise sauce, and a side of grits for $11.
This time I had a fantastic Cappucino for $4.50. (I wished
I'd ordered that the first time.)
The server the second time was Lauren, who was also very
nice. (I did make the mistake of
accepting a table next to the front door, so I got a small blast of cold air
every time someone walked in.)
The first time, I used a Yelp app to get on their wait list,
so by the time I walked over from my hotel, my table was waiting. I did hear
the host say that the wait can be up to an hour. The second time, the Yelp app
showed there was no wait - probably because it was later in the breakfast
window.)
(Locals pronounce the street name "Charter.")
