Lemond Cafe!

Home Away From Home
At Lemond Cafe, It’s easy to forget you’re in a restaurant

… This is one of those comforting places where it’s hard to order wrong.

… There is serious, smoky gumbo and the obligatory tomato-basil soup du jour, here in a light fresh version that doesn’t depend on buckets of butter and cream to win you over. Something as basic (even boring-sounding) as a grilled chicken sandwich with pesto and bacon can emerge from this kitchen so perfectly made that it alters your standards for the dish.

Every neighborhood deserves a place like this for convenient and tasty home-cooked meals. Owners Reggie and Merinda Martin even cater. We enjoyed their blackened-chicken-salad platter (with a definite kick) and the linguine with crisp-cooked vegetables, but we really praised their authentic Louisiana gumbo and bread pudding. Roasted chicken and layer cakes are also winners.
