Cafe Degas Description:
For 30 years, this bistro, named after French Impressionist Edgar Degas, has been an oasis on a bustling city thoroughfare. Today, there is an emerging restaurant row in this neighborhood, but Café Degas is the undisputed anchor. Although frequented by nearby residents, diners come from all points in the metro area to sample the chef's authentic salade niçoise, tender mignonettes of veal Parmesan, and a Dijon-crusted Australian rack of lamb. Every meal at Café Degas should begin with the comforting warmth of the house French onion soup. Brunch is best enjoyed slowly, beginning with a pâté or cheese board, and the crab omelet is not to be missed. The chef even tips his hat to New Orleans with grillades and a Hoppin' John's stone-ground grits dish. The diverse offerings of American and French red and white wines are surprisingly sophisticated for such a small café and often encourage diners to linger and watch the world go by through the partially covered deck under the aged oak trees.
