This cozy little Italian-Creole eatery is nestled on an obscure corner in the Vieux Carre. Known for its rustic charm, warm hospitality, and mouthwatering Creole and Italian dishes, Irene's Cuisine offers a dining experience that is both comforting and unforgettable. Scrumptious sensations range from Italian sausage steeped in roast peppers to roasted chicken bathed in olive oil and herbs and manicotti overflowing with ground veal and mozzarella. In addition, the menu features a delightful fusion of Creole and Italian flavors, with dishes like homemade pasta, succulent seafood, and tender cuts of meat. From the famous shrimp and eggplant casserole to the rich and decadent chocolate pots de crème, every dish at Irene's Cuisine is prepared with love and attention to detail. The Italian-style Baked Alaska is covered with a blue flame of ignited Grappa liqueur. The popularity of this spot is obvious if you come during peak dinner hours. You may have to wait in the "holding room" prior to being seated.
