Editorial Review for La Peniche – by Kevin Forest Moreau
The Scene
Cramped and comfortable. The whimsical decor leans toward the pleasantly eccentric, which fits the overriding style of La Peniche's Faubourg Marigny neighborhood. Fastidious gay men rub elbows with college couples, retirement-age neighborhood residents, drag queens and families. Late nights, especially weekends, bring tourists and locals looking to allay impending hangovers with comfort food, as well as a certain see-and-be-seen element.
The Food
The half-pound hamburger is one of the better-kept secrets in town, highlighting a menu of simple, stalwart options such as pork chops, chopped sirloin and chicken-fried steak. New Orleans-centric dishes like red beans and rice are serviceable, but a stray off the beaten path for a shrimp omelet will yield deeper rewards for seafood-lovers. A selection of homemade desserts evokes memories of Grandma's house; the Oreo pie is a sublime alternative to the standard, though quite good, cheesecake.

I haven't had the breakfast but the dinner was teriffic! Especially the portions served. I think anyone would love this place after a late night of partying.
