It’s no secret that you can find amazing food in New Orleans. While most attention goes toward the local Creole and Cajun dishes, you can also find amazing chicken and waffles, and Café Amelie is the place to get them. This romantic French Quarter restaurant serves brunch and dinner, as well as specialty cocktails.

Café Amelie is named after Amelie Miltenberger, the mother of the first American Princess of Monaco, who was born in 1858 in a townhouse next to what is now the restaurant.
