If you think Mondays are mundane, you clearly haven't visited Monday in New Orleans! My recent dining experience there completely redefined what a weekday meal can be.
As soon as I walked in, the vibrant atmosphere set the tone for an unforgettable time. The decor blends classic New Orleans charm with modern flair, creating the perfect spot to unwind and indulge.
Boudin Egg Rolls: A Must-Try!
We kicked things off with the Boudin Egg Rolls ($12). These crispy delights, wrapped in wonton and perfectly fried, were filled with a savory boudin mix. Paired with a creamy mayonnaise dip, they delivered an explosion of flavor that had me craving more after just one bite!
Sweet Chili Wings: A Flavor Bomb
Next up were the Sweet Chili Wings ($15). Picture juicy drummets stacked between layers of toasted white bread, all tossed in a tantalizing Thai sweet chili glaze. These wings are not just a dish; they’re an experience! Each bite balanced spice and sweetness perfectly—definitely one of my favorites of the night.
Hot Sausage Po'Boy: A New Orleans Classic
No visit to New Orleans is complete without a Po'Boy, and the Hot Sausage Po'Boy ($16) did not disappoint. The meaty all-beef sausage patty, dressed with hot honey, lettuce, and tomato, packed a spicy punch. The addition of house-fried chicken skin added delightful crunch, elevating this classic to a whole new level. I paired it with truffle fries, the perfect indulgent accompaniment.
Monday Beets Salad: A Refreshing Twist
To balance the richness, I indulged in the Monday Beets Salad ($12). The combination of red and gold beets on a bed of arugula, drizzled with balsamic glaze and topped with grilled chicken and goat cheese, was both refreshing and satisfying. It’s a salad that proves healthy can be delicious!
Conclusion
From the moment I stepped in until the last bite, Monday was a culinary delight. The flavors, atmosphere, and creativity of the dishes came together for an unforgettable experience. If you’re in New Orleans, don’t save your appetite for the weekend—make a point to visit Monday any day of the week. Trust me, you’ll be glad you did!
