Gambit Weekly - 1st Place Best Outdoor Dining

"Charming European-style cafe with a delightful feel and creative bistro fare"
Zagat Survey of New Orleans Restaurants

The semi outdoors deck has tremendous appeal. The big oaks of Esplanade Avenue and the little park across the street make for a delightful and very New Orleans scene... The food here gets better every time I try it. You want to find out straightaway what the day's specials are; they're the best food Cafe Degas has to offer.
Tom Fitzmorris, New Orleans City Business

The service is "Impeccable and helpful. The waitstaff make you feel at home and don't mind letting you in on their favorites".
Jason McCann, CitySearch.com

A pecan tree shoots through a hole in the roof of the porch where we dine. On a windy day, tumbling nuts dance a jig on the tin roof; rain sounds like a concert for drums.... the food woos you...Whether you're served by David Musson, a limb of the Degas family on his mama's side, or Jacqueline Guiot, who speaks a curiously understandable French (even if you ne parle pas), the food woos you into a Degas mood. Pate de campagne, duck mousse pate, and creamy vichyssoise emerge from a kitchen the size of a kerchief. Carolanne Griffith-Roberts, Southern Living
