In Short
Serving fine French cuisine in casual surroundings (suits or shorts will do). Mid-City locals should try to keep Degas their own little secret. This small restaurant has a wooden cottage feel with a Florida-style front and a reasonably priced menu selection. Starters include tomatoes and buffalo mozzarella while entrees feature lamb and roasted boneless duck breast. For dessert the chocolate mousse is semi-sweet.

I have been for brunch, lunch and dinner and been pleased each time. Great french onion soup and mussels. Precious place and very "new orleans." Always had good service and never waited over 10 minutes but watch when you go. There may be a wait.

First, let's face it: There is not many Brunch places left to chose from in New Orleans after Katrina. The Cafe Degas is a good attempt to have one in a residential area. Other than that the cafe is an average joint (to my Houston-based habits) with nice artists and fun people atmosphere, but almost non-existent interior design (wooden frame of the old house) and patio turned into a mansard for a few extra tables. The menu is small. Not enough waiters, we waited for ours every time for a half-hour. it's not too bad, but dining in any place in French quarter would be a bit easier.

My son and I visited for Sunday brunch and had the rudest waiter we've ever had in a restaurant anywhere. The food was delicious, but in no way made up for the hostile service. A complaint to the manager produced a shrug and "Thanks for the news." Clearly they satisfy a regular, local crowd. Good thing - I'd never go there again.
