Excellent!!!! The server, Michael took time to explain the menu & was amazing at providing us with suggestions. The food was 10 out of ten. I had the crab cake, gumbo shrimp & smoke brisket.
We absolutely enjoyed Bistro Nolah, one of the best restaurants that we have tasted in a long time. We had Hush Puppies (Cornbread) & Fried Chicken for appetizers. The fried chicken was really flavourful down to the very fibre of the chicken. For dinner, we ordered the shrimp & grits, pan seared scallops (special on the menu) & smoked brisket. & for dessert, we had the beignets (the best donuts that you will ever taste in your whole life). Every single course of the meal which they make completely in house (including the bread & the special butter) was absolutely gorgeous & extremely flavourful that wakes up every single taste bud in your palate.
& our waiter Chris was very attentive & fantastic to us. One of our children has Celiac disease & cannot eat gluten so he could not eat any of the appetizers except one (Chris was also very knowledgeable about the gluten & the non-gluten menu choices as well btw.) & had to wait for his main dish which took a bit of time to arrive as the night was quite busy. When we asked if our child can have his plate first before the rest of us, Christ promptly went to the kitchen & got our child's dish to serve it to our child. & he even remembered that my child might not be used to the spiciness in the dish & they set the spicy sauce on the side so not to make the dish too spicy for him. My child ordered the Blackened Catfish & it was so delicious my child finished every single morsel on his plate even the vegetables asparagus. He finished the food so fast we couldn't even take a photo. :)
We are so glad that we found this place which is nestled away in a small plaza. It's one of our most enjoyable gastronomical experience inside a beautifully decorated dining room. It's our first time visiting this restaurant & tasting Southern comfort food New Orleans. We will definitely be back.
Small but quaint atmosphere inside, with an outdoor terrace that's fenced in giving you a privacy.
The service was okay. Kind server but one person for everyone outside isn't enough. We waited 30 minutes simply to be asked what we wanted to drink (a little too long in my opinion).
The menu had nice options raging from various seafood to fried chicken, duck & beef. The apetizers were on point. The must try were the hush puppies. They were crispy on the outside & soft inside, paired with a great sauce. The jambalaya was decent but I recommend going with the gumbo instead, if you are looking for something more unique taste. Overall the food was tasty but in my opinion lacks a authentic big flavours, especially the brisket which was perfectly smoked, but lacked the Cajun & Creole deep flavors that I was hoping for.
It's a good place to escape from the everyday food & try something new.

Always enjoy this Bistro. Today was for brunch, chicken with French toast & the brisket melt. The service, food & atmosphere are consistently good. Price is also fair, (portions are large).
Weather was accommodating so we chose to eat on the terrasse. They don't allow reservations for the terrasse so you need to make a reservation for inside first, then choose the terrace if available when you arrive.
We went to Bistro Nola last night & had an excellent experience from start to finish.
We shared a few appetizers including the mac & cheese, fried chicken, & gumbo sausage, all were absolutely delicious & full of flavor. Perfect for sharing & a great way to start the meal.
For mains, we had the smoked brisket, braised short ribs, & blackened catfish. Every dish was cooked perfectly & packed with rich, authentic flavors.
Dessert was on another level. We tried the Mississippi mud pie, pain perdu, & beignets. Everything was amazing, but the Oreo mud pie really stood out.
Service was fast, friendly, & very smooth all evening. The restaurant was packed, so we were really glad we made a reservation.
Overall, great value, amazing food, & a fantastic atmosphere. We'll definitely be back.
Gumbo: Très bon, remplis de saveurs de qualités qui se mélange bien, très bien assaisonnées. Grosse portion. Note : 8.5
Mac & cheese : incroyablement bon, c'est le mac & cheese que l'on connaît avec les macaronis & le fromage, mais le goût est unique. J'en voulais plus. Note: 9.5 Brisket qui comprends purée de pomme de terre, champignons , oignon : bien tendre, la purée est juste incroyable, les champignons accompagnent parfaitement bien le brisket, je pense que les oignons étaient juste pour la décoration, sinon je l'aurais préféré plus croquant. Note : 8.5
Crevette créole servis avec riz épicés ( me rappelle le jollof rice) & légumes : c'est selon moi très épicés, mais mon compagnon l'a trouvé épicé mais tolérable. Remplis de saveurs qui se marient bien, très bon & la portion est parfaite. Note de mon compagnon 8.5
En tout, je reviendrai, très belle découverte de la cuisine de la Louisiane, on a bien voyagé. Les serveurs sont disponibles & à l'écoute, l'ambiance est romantique & pas trop bruyant. Merci à Domenique notre serveur.
On a pris de dessert, car on étaient bien remplis.

Vous pouvez manger pour $100 si vous prenez un seul entrée à deux & pas de dessert. Les prix sont assez abordable pour un restaurant haute qualité.
Nous sommes allé pour un souper tôt un samedi alors que nous étions dans le coin. Quelle belle découverte! Un service hors pair & chaleureux. Des plats - croquettes de poisson, un des meilleurs Mac'n Cheeze qu'il m'est été donné de manger depuis longtemps, côte de boeuf, brisket de boeuf, Mud Pie & mousse au choco crème chantilly - exquis, balancés & parfaitement apprêtés. Leur cote Google de 4.8 au moment ou j'écris ces lignes n'est pas le fruit du hasard. Chaudement recommandé!
I've spent a fair amount of time living in New Orleans & was trained to be a half decent Creole cook for large groups. Needless to say, these experiences made me very good at recognizing what is quality Creole & Cajun cuisine (& yes, there is a difference between the two). I would say that this was probably one of the closest that I've had comparing to what I've I've enjoyed in New Orleans & definitely a noteworthy meal in itself on its own merits, especially when comparing this place to 20 years of seeking & hunting down Cajun & Creole restaurants across Canada. The gumbo is more Creole than Cajun & I don't mind that a bit, as it with some really nice Smokey undertones. The fried Chicken was spot on & the spicy Creole shrimp was an absolutely. The jambalaya was decent & I really enjoyed the Hush puppies. The duck confit was absolutely perfect. It was very well seasoned, incredibly tender, & fabulously tasty notes throughout. My creole shrimp was nicely spicy & tender & paired nicely with the jambalaya, though there could have been a little bit more kick to the jambalaya. My father's smoked brisket was also nicely tender & topped with an assortment of mushrooms & such which gave it a nice variation on textures. The brisket was of course cooked perfectly. & of course, while it might have been more customary to have the bread pudding, it had been years since I had professionally made beignets & this was one opportunity I wasn't going to miss under any circumstances. Very nicely done. My standard of comparison is with Café Du Monde which is A very high standard to match as I would spend literally every morning in New Orleans enjoying my early breakfast of their their coffee with a plate of beignets before work. I didn't even blink at the bill & neither did my parents who are normally quite economy minded, which means that they thoroughly enjoyed the meal so much so much that they thought it was an absolute steal. Considering that my mom is a foodie who had her first experience with Cajun by having a full formal dinner at the commander's Palace in Nola, his restaurant had a lot to live up to to match her standards & they exceeded it easily. I visit Montreal about twice a year & this will very likely be one of my regular stops in my trips especially as I have to try their $65 tasters menus on Sundays. Laissez les bon temps roullez!
