Bacchanal Fine Wine & Spirits · Bywater
Part wine shop and part backyard garden party, this Bywater institution pairs a deep bottle list with a Mediterranean-leaning kitchen and nightly live music under the string lights. Guests grab a bottle from the shop, find a spot in the courtyard, and settle in for cheese plates and small plates. A readers'-poll favorite for a laid-back wine night.
Morning Call Coffee Stand · City Park
Operating since the 1870s. The City Park location trades the tourist bustle of Café du Monde for oak-shaded patio seating.
Cafe Beignet, Royal Street · French Quarter
A just-as-delicious alternative to Café du Monde with courtyard seating, live jazz, and beer/wine service.
