A little slice of the romantic Mediterranean awaits you at Bayona, a jewel of a restaurant tucked into a 200-year-old Creole cottage in the heart of the French Quarter. The cozy room is often set with fresh flowers and is warmed by sunny lighting and bright colors. Chef Susan Spicer serves up her own interpretation of New Orleans cuisine, blending the ingredients of the Mediterranean with the flavors of Alsace, Asia, India and the Southwest. You’ll find an outstanding waitstaff eager to guide you and answer questions about the menu. A great selection of beers, including several local brews, plus an extensive wine list round out the experience.
