One of our favorite restaurants in town. Everything is delicious - but the salads are green veggie masterpieces. Don't miss the little gem lettuces or the ensalata tre colori. Try to save room for dessert.

Lafayette Cemetery No. 1 is a historic cemetery in the Garden District. Founded in 1833 and still in use today, the cemetery takes its name from its location in what was once the City of Lafayette, a suburb of New Orleans that was annexed by the larger metropolis in 1852. The city's first planned cemetery, it is notable for the architectural significance of its tombs and mausoleums, often containing multiple family members, and for its layout, a cruciform plan that allowed for funeral processions. Commander's Palace across the street is one of NOLA's grand dame restaurants and home to the Friday $.25 martini and Sunday Jazz Brunch. Bustling magazine street is just a few blocks away and is a hub of restaurants, shopping, and bars.
