In this cosy Creole townhouse – with the equally inviting name of Feeling’s Cafe – narrow staircases lead from the downstairs (with a large dining room and a dimly lit bar) to small rooms overlooking the shady courtyard. Sit at a candlelit table and order tempting appetizers (fried oysters, shrimp étouffée), inventive entrées (Chicken Clemenceau or pork tenderloin with a mustard and brandy sauce), and a peanut butter pie for dessert. Pick a table upstairs near the balcony with a view of the courtyard and enjoy the evening breeze. This little Marigny spot is praised less for its food than its unbeatable romantic atmosphere and attracts locals looking for a quiet, secluded evening.
