Vieux Carre NOLA Kitchen

Pretty Darn Authentic, haven't had any food of this quality in 20 years. It was an emotional experience to taste creole food again and share it with my kids. Our waiter who took our reservation picked the perfect table, out timing was perfect so we had a quiet intimate experience for our family of five. I had a Hurricane which was a fantastic and beautiful drink. The Hush Puppies were perfectly cooked, sauce on the side was a great compliment for them and the Fried Cat Fish which was FANTASTIC. Our youngest devoured his cheese grits and grilled fish (pictured and off the kids menu). The VC Gumbo was Dark Spicy and warmed the soul, loved it. My husband had the Fried Catfish over Grits and he loved it. The Grits were prepared expertly and all three of our kids loved them. Two who did not order them wished they did and wanted more. The Bread Pudding with Ice Cream and House Made Carmel was divine and nearly put the kids in an instant food coma on the car ride back to the hotel. We splurged, we were celebrating good health news for our middle child, we have ZERO regrets everything we ordered we loved. Thank you for a wonderful experience!

Vieux Carre NOLA Kitchen has a fun vibe and the food is divine. We were lucky enough to get in without a reservation on a Saturday and we dined at the bar. The pecan crusted ling cod tasted divine as did the jambalaya pasta and large prawns. Without a doubt, this is one of our favorite restaurants in Spokane for a special dining experience.

Took a trip to Spokane this past weekend and was pleasantly surprised to find such a great NOLA kitchen there - Vieux Carre NOLA hooked it up! They served brunch til 2pm so didnt get a chance to try the full menu but the bits we did, didnt disappoint! Bacon wrapped shrimp and cheesy grits. This is one of my favorite southern eats, it speaks to my soul. Stone ground grits gives it a creamer texture than instant grits. The cheese was melted nicely and complimented the texture. The bacon wrapped shrimp was cooked well - i would say the sweet in the sauce was ALMOST too sweet but it balanced quickly with the salty of the bacon and the smooth grits. I ate everything including the tails, it was that good. Chicken and Waffles. Who knew this dynamic duo would be such a staple in brunch eats. Chicken thighs fried to a perfect crisp. Just the fact it was thighs should tell you its legit. The waffles could have been a stand alone dish, spicy white cheddar waffles was done right, soft on the inside with a touch of crisp on the outside. These two combined made it the first time I devoured chicken and waffles without syrup. I did dip it in some hot sauce for extra flavor action but it was far from needed. Bread pudding French toast with a bourbon peach topping. Due to sheer gluttony, I struggled to enjoy this dish. The bread pudding was done well - the bourbon peaches were good too but just too much sweet for my taste buds. I would go with the other topping option of banana fosters at my next visit to see if it has a better balance. Perhaps a Chantilly cream would have helped. Ambiance was super cute too. Like a old style Victorian house type feels comfortable seating and very friendly staff. Definitely coming back for the rest of the menu!

Really good Cajun restaurant. The food was excellent. I had the crab beignets, which were very good. I also had the bacon-wrapped shrimp and grits, which were excellent. I can't say enough about it. The service was very good, friendly, and nice. 👍

You can’t go wrong with this place. The food? Always amazing. And the cocktails are better. A word of caution on the gumbo and jambalaya- spicy! Delicious but spicy. You can’t go wrong with any choice.
