In the late 1800’s, Royal Street was home to a famous “curio” shop, a place where curiosities from all over the world could be had for a dollar or two. Today, the shop is no more, but the feeling of excitement and wonder still exists on Royal Street today. And so in the heart of the most premier art district in New Orleans, we’re bringing back the curiosity – reintroducing New Orleans to a circus of flavor so vibrant it makes other restaurants nearby pale in comparison.

    Evangeline is now my “go to” spot for out of town visitors. The menu is replete with all the New Orleans classics and everything is made in house. Do not miss the red fish with Cajun pesto pasta - incredible.

    We had a delightful dinner at this restaurant and our server, Melissa, was outstanding! The blackened scallops with fettuccine was delicious and the Caesar salad was one of the best I have ever eaten. Light and flavorful! My husband had the chicken (a chicken on every plate) with collard greens. He loved the collard greens but he was a little disappointed that the chicken was all white meat, as he prefers dark. However, he said the sauce on the chicken was really good and he enjoyed his entree. Prices were very reasonable and we enjoyed our experience at Kingfish!

    I tried Curio for lunch during Restaurant week. I went at an early time and got seated immediately as requested on the patio. Staff is friendly and welcoming. I opted for the RW special and enjoyed the appetizer more than the meal. The app was grit tots and the entree was crawfish cavatappi. The pasta was also great and had a good amount of crawfish, unfortunately it was a little heavy for lunch on a HOT day. I still recommend it, but I should have tried something lighter.
