Our Take
The Spot
Cafe Degas serves classic French bistro cooking in the Fairgrounds neighborhood, with a menu that runs through escargot, French onion soup, quiche, and a hanger steak that keeps regulars coming back. Lamb and catfish sit alongside those staples, nodding to the New Orleans setting, and the wine list draws its own mentions from diners.

Brunch has built a following here, and the restaurant is regularly cited by regulars as a neighborhood fixture for its atmosphere as much as its plates. Service timing draws occasional complaints, but the food and setting keep people returning.

NOLA.com / Times-Picayune named Cafe Degas to its Best of 2025 list.
