Best Restaurants for Local Ingredients in Gretna

I've always loved Couvant, especially their steak frites and moules frites. Our guests had shrimp and grits, a French mushroom omelet, and the steak frites. The only one that was less than excellent was the moules frites. Don't get me wrong - the frites were perfect and perfectly delicious. The mussels were big and plump but......they are supposed to be steamed in their seafoody liquid (plenty of shallot, garlic, and white wine, so that was good) so they are sort of slurpy, plump, and hot. These were plump. The waiter warned me that the steaming bowl they came in "was too hot to touch". It was not. I think the issue here is that the mussels were steamed enough to open them, but then left covered (not tossed) in the bowl so that they ended up cooled before they came to the table. I think Couvant is delicious and is an underrated gem...so I will certainly go back. But I'll need to make sure the mussels are hot and slurpy.................and plump!

Great experience. Food was delicious & service outstanding

Delicious food all around, excellent cocktails and kind service.

Everything was great and they ran out of lobster tail. At 7:45 at night. Somebody dropped the ball!

Incredible food, some of the best food in New Orleans!
