Delachaise is a very special find in New Orleans. Located on Saint Charles Ave. in Uptown New Orleans, this local wine bar features a great selection of wine, craft beer and small plates. It is nicely appointed with a long wood bar, booths and chairs on the inside and a patio along Delachaise St. and overlooking Saint Charles Ave. outside, where strung lights and brightly coloured chairs add to its charm. Grab a seat at the bar and talk to the Parisan bar tender before it gets too busy. In addition to its capacious wine selection they offer a carefully considered craft beer menu with 6 taps and 30 bottles. We enjoyed the Lindemans Lambic Frambroise and the New Belgium Fat Tire amber ale as a starter with the Coriander-crusted duck breast, pork and Mediterranean apricot terrine. The Ommegang Hennepin farmhouse saison paired like heaven with the Shrimp Clemenceau - Louisiana jumbo shrimp in golden Thai curry sauce with crimini mushrooms, peas and brabant potatoes. If you have the time take the street car there and hop off at Louisiana. This appears to be a popular spot for locals and before long it quickly fills up with residents and students from Loyola University looking for a more sophisticated evening out.
