The Flaming Torch and Le Foret
I was Uptown on business recently, and stopped in at the Flaming Torch for lunch. It’s a great little place, and I wish I could get there more frequently.
Crevettes Sazerac
That’s the “Crevettes Sazerac,” which is essentially the restaurant’s version of “barbecue shrimp.” It’s really quite good, with just a hint of rye whiskey and saffron in the sauce.
Snapper with passionfruit beurre blanc
I can also recommend the fish special, which on this day was Red Snapper with a passionfruit beurre blanc. At least, I’m pretty sure it was Snapper. I didn’t take notes. I can say this: it was cooked perfectly, and delicious.
In other news, check out this post at Le Foret’s website, wherein they provide a “sneak peek” at their menu. The restaurant should be open soon; they’re taking reservations as of October 1. That menu certainly has me interested in checking the place out.
You can call the restaurant at 504.553.6738 for more information.
