[title type="h2"]Coolinary @ Vacherie, $25[/title]
If you have a taste for hidden, little-known restaurants with surprisingly good menus, Vacherie is a fine example of the genre. It's the small, mildly elegant restaurant of a boutique Hotel Ste. Marie on Dauphine at Toulouse. The owners also operate a couple of other bistros in the French Quarter, the customers of which seem to include a lot of French Quarter residents. Its Coolinary menu is an even better deal than most, with the three-course dinner selling for $25. Otherwise, the place is above standard and charming. The Coolinary menu is available every day except Sundays.
