I had the wonderful opportunity to attend the Grand Opening of Bistreaux Metairie. A great restaurant led by the unbelievable Executive Chef Jason Schwartz. This establishment is a great place to get a yummy meal as well as enjoy club service in Metairie.
The new restaurant is located in the lakefront area at the beautiful Marriott Metairie at Lakeway. The theme that is followed completely here is “Inspired Comfort Food” with things such as the Truffle Mac & Cheese. This delightful restaurant made its first appearance at French Quarter’s historic Maison Dupuy Hotel under Executive Chef Michael Farrell, which was distinguished as “Best New Restaurant” this year by New Orleans Magazine. From this inspiration Bistreaux Metairie comes to life. This is definitely a place worth checking out!
While there I tried the Cajun Cuban Press which consisted of roast pork, shaved andouille, and tasso ham, with swiss cheese and pickles. This was a phenomenal sandwich that I could have all night if allowed to, it melts in your mouth. I also tried the Steak Frites which is a top sirloin with an amazing blue cheese butter. This is a great place to hang with friends or enjoy a nice meal with co-workers. Something about Bistreaux makes you just want to talk and have a good time.
It doesn’t hurt that they have Club Service, making wonderful cocktails right at your table . I will be visiting here again soon.
