UPPERLINE RESTAURANT

After a quarter of an hour (by car, rather half an hour by tram and foot) after the Old Square, you will see a brick facade, but decorated with frescoes by the painter Martin LaBorde. Upperline is a music and graphic arts palace as well as a culinary spectacle. All that is best in Creole cuisine is formidably successful by chef Dave Bridges, born here in New Orleans. The menu is a true summary of what is divinely good in Louisiana's cuisine cuisine, such as shrimp bisque or massive and tartar to shrimp. The subtle touch of spices and original sauces.

JoAnn Clevenger, owner of the restaurant, will take care of you and exchange a few words with you! A real character, not taking seriously, she says it takes at least once a day to give up and make the crazy to redo full energy. The positive energy that emerges when you cross it! Coming from an extremely besogneux farm family, she decided to elect home in New Orleans, falling in love with the Old Square, her characters and her vitality. Without a penny, she took the risk of opening the Upperline restaurant in 1983. Soon, he was fascinated by criticism and received many awards, but JoAnn had a lot of passion and stubbornness to make it a profitable business. Passionate about literature, painting, music and human relations, she is a true cultural ambassador, who keeps up-to-date with the Fiche (best-of) artistic and literary lagniappe of New Orleans, which she makes available to amateur clients. In the restaurant is exposed all that the city has recognized artists and amounts.
