[title type="h3"]Coolinary @ Muriel's, Among Biggest & Best.[/title]
Even before the 2017 Coolinary began, Muriel's was launched a special summer menu with more variety and better food than than found in most other places. Chef Erik Venay keeps coming out with new ways to express the local flavors and ingredients. He speaks my language, that's certain. That Creole "Bayou-baisse," for example. Muriel's, despite its touristy location, ought to be on every Orleanian's five best French Quarter restaurants. The dinner price is $35 for three courses--a shade lower than the Coolinary average. It's there every night of the week. During the week, there's also a $20 two-course coolinary lunch.
