A French restaurant hidden behind an unmarked fence in the Bywater — no sign, a tropical courtyard strung with lights, and a menu of French bistro fare with a focus on tinned seafood (the conserves are a genuine specialty). Finding it feels like a secret; eating there feels like a Parisian backyard transported to Louisiana. No reservations, cash-friendly, deliberately off-grid. For diners who want the most atmospheric hidden meal in the city.
