[title type="h5"]Unusually Large Coolinary Menu At Cafe Adelaide[/title]
The summer menu at Cafe Adelaide is almost as extensive as the main menu of the restaurant. Operated by the Commander's Palace branch of the Brennan family, Cafe Adelaide is the all-day restaurant of the Loew's Hotel on Poydras at S. Peters. It is well above the standard for hotel restaurants, with a decidedly new-Creole flavor, great ingredients, and more than a little imagination. Eight appetizers, seven entrees and a handful of desserts form the Coolinary menu, whose three courses come to your table for $35--a bit lower than most Coolinary menus. Also here is an equally extensive Coolinary lunch of two courses for $20.
