New Orleans Welcomes Le Moyne Bistro with Modern French Cuisine
New Orleans has gained a new dining option with the opening of Le Moyne Bistro, which serves modern French cuisine. Established in April 2023, the restaurant is located at 746 Tchoupitoulas St. in the city’s vibrant Warehouse District, where it takes the place of the former Tommy’s Cuisine.
Le Moyne Bistro is the latest venture from the Fuzzy Hospitality Group, a well-known restaurant group in the region that also manages Plates and Maria’s Oyster & Wine Bar. Under the leadership of General Manager Tim Armstead and Executive Chefs Farrell Harrison and Christian Hurst, the culinary team is dedicated to creating dishes that honor traditional French gastronomy while incorporating modern twists.
At Le Moyne Bistro, diners can expect a menu that champions regionally sourced ingredients from local farmers and fishermen, ensuring the freshest flavors in every dish. Signature offerings include Chicken au Riesling with Bacon and Crème Fraîche, Beef Short Rib Carbonnade, and Gulf Fish Courtbouillon. The restaurant also features elevated hors d’oeuvres, such as Beef Tartare with Cured Egg Yolk and Bone Marrow & Escargot.
Tempting Desserts and Beverage Selection
The dessert menu, crafted by Pastry Chef Ryan McDougall, consists of delightful options, including Lavender Crème Brûlée and Lemon Posset. In addition to its enticing food offerings, Le Moyne Bistro boasts a curated beverage program with a selection of wines and creative cocktails. Notable drinks include the Calvados Spritz and Agave En Fleur.
Charming Atmosphere and Seating Capacity
Le Moyne Bistro’s decor blends the charm of the French countryside with modern design, featuring exposed brick walls, candle-lit tables, and brass lamps that contribute to a cozy atmosphere. The restaurant can accommodate 120 guests across three main dining rooms, with additional options for private dining. There are four private rooms available, which can host groups ranging from 17 to 110 guests.
Special Promotions and Seasonal Delights
In its effort to introduce itself to the local community, Le Moyne Bistro is participating in the Coolinary event, offering a special three-course menu priced at $55 through August. Featured dishes during this promotion include a sophisticated steak tartare topped with horseradish, served with sunchoke chips, and a rustic pâté de campagne presented as a terrine with pistachio.
Other seasonal highlights include grilled Jimmy Nardello peppers, elegantly finished with tomato vinaigrette, and the classic Tuna Nicoise, featuring rare tuna alongside fresh vegetables and a farm egg. The Beef Short Rib Carbonnade, described as a hearty dish reminiscent of a thick stew, emphasizes comfort and flavor. For dessert lovers, a pineapple cake served with black tea caramel and roasted pineapple ice cream provides a refreshing finish.
