Aquila Bistro & Cafe — Restaurant in New Orleans

This was my first time in, but won't be my last, that's for certain!

I was entertaining some associates who were in town from all over the country for a conference, and wanted to see the Garden District at night.

But where could we all eat that would satisfy such a diverse group? I popped in on Yasin and his talented team at Aquila Bistro to see what they had to offer and will never forget how welcoming he was to me on that first meeting.

He told me then that he would be willing to do whatever it took to make sure that all of my guests (there were a dozen of us) were satisfied, and he went so far in that endeavor as to keep his dining room open past closing time!

I mean let's get real, who does that these days?!

I was floored by this generous act.

But then, there was the food! The appetizers were devoured, and my friend from Dallas was smitten by the dipping sauces that came along with them. The plates were beautiful and the temperature for my meat was just as I had ordered. I love that.

The dining room was artsy, colorful and comfortable and the restroom was squeaky clean.

There's no aspect of my experience that was less than pleasant, and look forward to making many more dining memories at Aquila Bistro.

Thanks again Yasin for Your...

This is hands down my new favorite coffee shop in the city. The atmosphere is cozy and calming — the kind of place you can actually relax in, with music that sets the perfect vibe without being loud or overwhelming. The team here is absolutely wonderful — friendly, welcoming, and always helpful.

Everything I’ve ordered has been incredible, but what really blew me away is how they make my go-to coffee. It’s never tasted better — and now I’m officially hooked. I’ve tried so many spots around the city, and nothing else compares. Highly recommend stopping by if you’re looking for your next...

Yasin the owner is really nice. It’s spacious in the café. It’s a great place for meetings or getting work done.

I enjoyed the breakfast. I had a build your own breakfast sandwich, I want some homemade rosemary focaccia bread. 🍞

I also had a vanilla latte. Most of the syrups are made in house except for the lavender and mocha.

The only downside to Aquila Bistro is that there music is WAY to loud. I had a call and could not hear and when I had questions. I couldn’t...
