K-Paul's is a personal favorite of mine. I do not normally like to go to restaurants more than once in New Orleans, only because there are so many, but this restaurant has something about it that makes an exception to my rule. It's not so much Cajun food as it is southern flavoring- although Cajun influence does have a presence. I give it 4 fleur de lis.
My most recent meal consisted of:
Pre-Dinner Food: Bread Basket with Muffins
Molasses Muffins, Cajun Muffins, Raisin Bread, Cheese filled rolls, and butter.
A very delicious array in the bread basket. I had to ask the waiter for more.
Appetizer: Turtle Soup in a Cup
Ground Turtle Meat, Beef Tenderloin, Onions, Bell Peppers, Celery, Tomatoes and Seasonings, Simmered in a Beef Stock, Which Produces a Rich Soup. Finished with Fresh Spinach, Chopped Hard-Boiled Eggs & Dry Sherry
The soup was very delicious if you're willing to try exotic meat. It was also fairly spicy.
Main Course: Blackened Louisiana Drum Fish
Drum Fish From Louisiana Waters Seasoned and Blackened in a Cast Iron Skillet. Served
This is a "Signature Dish" of the restaurant, as the menu boasts. This dish might have been a gimmick on the menu to get a frequent order like a lot of restaurants like to do (i.e. say this dish is special because we say so). I must say, however, it was pretty damn delicious. The flavoring sounds pretty simple, but the taste was unbelievable. This seemingly "run of the mill" dish was made extraordinary by this authentic Louisiana kitchen.
Dessert: Bread Pudding with Lemon Sauce & Chantilly Cream
A Mixture of Breads Soaked in a Rich Custard and Baked with Raisins and Pecans to Make a Moist Dessert with Lemon Sauce & Chantilly Cream
If you like bread pudding, this dish is absolutely delectable. I love pretty much, eh, all types of pudding, and this is DELICIOUS. A must get. Make sure you save room for this!
