One of our favorite restaurants
Another favorite restaurant is Meaux Bar – we went there last night to meet a friend for dinner. Wow, I’ve been on a roll, Cafe Minh on Thursday with a friend, August on Friday with a friend, Meaux Bar last night with a friend – no wonder I’m having a hard time losing these ten pounds. So of course, this morning’s spinning class was even more warranted. But I digress, I was speaking about Meaux Bar and why it is a favorite spot.
First of all, the history, lord the history of this place. It used to be the Golden Star and I used to live next door in a hotel that my brother, boyfriend and brother-in-law owned, which was called the Vieux Carre Motor Lodge. Those were the days my friend. And Joey, was the owner of the Golden Star and they had lobster tanks and the best cheeseburgers and fries you could eat. And the place was dark and cold and fun.
Now it’s Meaux Bar and has been transformed into this wonderful bistro where Jim and Matthew make you feel at home and no surprise the place is heavily frequented by a loyal base of locals. And Debbie, the best waitress in the land, with her nice do and beautiful eyes, is always smiling and ready to tell you where the late night music action is.
So looking for a place that might not be in your tourist guide, try Meaux Bar – last night I had salmon over cous cous that was a big yum.
