Cafe Malou sits in the West Riverside section of Uptown New Orleans, serving breakfast, lunch, and weekend brunch. The menu leans into New Orleans' mix of flavors with unfussy dishes: a breakfast sandwich, hearty plates of eggs, grits, and andouille sausage, an open-faced baked crab sandwich, a kale caesar, and a crustless quiche.
Regulars point to the baked egg dishes and the coffee program as steady draws, and the room has built a local reputation for its interior design as much as for what's on the plate. It's the kind of place meant to be walked into off the street, relaxed and warm, reading as neighborhood gem rather than destination restaurant.
