Couvant

We went here for my birthday and had a marvelous time. What a lovely bistro experience. All of the food was lovely (steak frites, mushroom pasta, fish of the day, Lyonnaise salad, cheese puffs) and we really enjoyed it.The only criticism I would have was that the pacing was a little off. There were long stretches between courses which were odd. But the space is really beautiful, it's relatively quiet (one of us wore hearing aids so that was a plus) and overall I would give it a very high grade.

Very torn. Sat at the bar and felt like I was an "afterthought " regarding service. Got the steak tartare. Looked beautiful. I think the grill the bread hours in advance. Took forever to arrive and bread was cold. I think it might be an amazing dish if the bread was grilled to order. Why it took so long for nothing actually cooked stories me. Too many other places where there is LOVE in the food and service. Place was pretty empty considering Mardi gras parades were rolling 2 blocks away. I want to try, but ....

Beautiful restaurant connected to the hotel, food was delicious and service was great. It feels very much like a date spot. Ordered the beef tartare twice and still failed to take a proper picture. The steak was amazing and it was topped with this amazing butter and loved the Brussels sprouts, even the next day since the serving was so large and we couldn't finish it. Will definitely keep this on my list of go-tos.

If brunch were a person, Couvant would be the cool, moody artist you secretly want to be friends with. The vibe is all mysterious charm, but don't let that fool you--the food is pure joy! I had the seared fish, eggs, and a side salad, and let me tell you, it was like a flavor party in my mouth.The décor might be brooding, but the staff and chef are all smiles and culinary magic. Five stars? More like a standing ovation! Can't wait to brunch here again--Bon Appétit, indeed!

The Eliza Jane Hotel's in-house restaurant, Couvant, is a gem in its own right. It's bright, shabby chic and beautifully designed, it's the ideal spot to start your day with a delicious breakfast. The menu is small, offering French-inspired dishes with a New Orleans twist. I had the acai bowl one day and the pesto avocado toast the next day. Both were delicious. Loved the crunchiness of the sourdough toast.

We went here because it was one of the only restaurants open during the blizzard little did we know how amazing this place is. We started with the escargot and the steak tartar. Both of these items were amazing. The escargot was served on a puff pastry which soaked in all the butter and made for a great appetizer. Then we ordered the steak frites. Good steak frites are a dime a dozen. This dish was perfectly executed. The steak was perfect as was the sauce and the frites. 5/5. The ambiance is upscale and the service was top notch.5/5 Thanks for taking care of us.

Everything tasted delicious! My favorite was the fried oysters and the boeuf bourginghion with pomme puree. Absolutely melted in your mouth. It was fantastic. Very cute restaurant and cute hotel and bar next door. The service started out slow but our waitress ended up being great in the end. Definitely try this place out!

Couvant is such an underrated French restaurant in Downtown NOLA! The escargot is a must-try. Definitely a good restaurant for an occasion or just a nicer dinner.

My family and I stayed at The Eliza Jane 2 weeks ago, just for the weekend. We were very excited to try New Orleans food. For my surprise Couvant exceeded my expectations, I was not expecting to be more excited to eat every single meal there, rather then go out and try some local food (we ended up trying a few places) We ate both breakfast and dinners at Couvant, we just didn't want to miss out on anything. The menu is not extensive, but you get to choose from a variety of dishes. For breakfast I recommend the Pain Perdu, which is French toast but made to another level, the bread was perfectly toasted, with a nutty flavor, the strawberry coulis had a balanced sweetness and acidity to it, with cool whipped cream to balance out the tart, and fresh strawberries and blueberries to finish off. If you're not on the sweet side, Eggs Benedict are amazing. For dinner I highly recommend the confit de canard, the duck was cooked to perfection, it just fell apart! It comes with a triple cream blue cheese that goes so good in contrast with the duck and candied orange. We tried the Boeuf Bourguignon, the flavor was spot on but I felt it needed more sauce. The waiters were very friendly, but respectful, they made us feel very comfortable at all times. The french decor of the place elevates the whole experience. We left New Orleans very pleased.

I've been wanting to dine at Couvant for a while and finally made reservations for Sunday brunch. The restaurant is beautiful and looked really clean. However, service was slow and we waited more than necessary. I started with the Absinthe Colada (weird and not in a good way) and Duck and Brie Spring Rolls (good and very unique). For entrees, I had the Croque Madame and the other guest had the Duck Confit and Waffles. Both were really good. The duck was fried perfectly and had amazing flavor. The waffle wasn't as sweet as I would have liked but it paired very well with the duck. We ordered a side of grits and scrambled eggs to share and they were okay but nothing special. This was a nice meal overall so I'd definitely recommend Couvant.
