 Best French
Top 100 Restaurant, New Orleans

"French artist and restaurateur, Jacques Soulas, came to New Orleans in 1980, and with his friend Jerry Edgar decided to build a restaurant that would be reminiscent of his homeland, and where diners could experience French Bistro atmosphere (with a New Orleans touch), good food and an inspired Wine List. They chose the current location for old historic charm, the area's artful and picturesque appeal, and because the available space was just right for the effect they were trying to create."

–Café Degas website

"Cafe Degas is a lovable mutt of a restaurant . . . [offering] some of the most solid local examples of French bistro cooking . . . that tastes unsullied by too much human intrusion."

–Brett Anderson, The Times-Picayune

"This sunny French bistro offers the ambience of al fresco dining on its cozy covered patio."

Gambit Weekly

"A delightful neighborhood restaurant, and one that doesn't emphasize fried food . . . Think quiches and real, live salads (always a happy find in this town), and simple but fun fish and meat dishes, all featuring big but straightforward flavors, presented in generous portions."
