Mosquito Supper Club Chef Expands With Quaint New Restaurant
is an award-winning food and travel writer living in New Orleans. Her work has appeared in Atlas Obscura, The Local Palate, and the Los Angeles Times. Saint Claire, from chef Melissa Martin, opens in Algiers Point Chef Melissa Martin, best known for her Uptown tasting menu-centric Mosquito Supper Club and a duo of James Beard Award-winning cookbooks, has expanded with the June 26 opening of the country French-themed Saint Claire in Algiers Point. Martin partnered with her friend Cassi Dymond to open Saint Claire. Dymond is co-founder of Maple Street's Satsuma Cafe and co-owner of Kalimera Construction, which specializes in dynamic restaurant build-outs, including Dakar NOLA, the Tell Me Bar, and N7. Located across the river, 15 minutes from the CBD, Saint Claire is situated in a historic 1920s home at the center of a cul-de-sac, surrounded by live oak trees, just steps from the Mississippi River levee. The restored building at 1300 Richland Road was once the medical officer's home on the site of Camp Algiers, an immigration center, and a WWII-era internment camp. Unlike Mosquito Supper Club, Saint Claire doesn't feature a prix fixe menu or communal dining. The opening menu features nods to seasonal vegetables and local seafood, including eggplant fritters with powdered sugar, smoked beets with trout roe, and farmed Brightside oysters from Grand Isle. There's a duck and andouille gumbo, gnocchi with crabmeat in a lemon beurre blanc sauce, and grouper with fried okra. Inside, the space is warm and inviting, with a palette of buttery yellow and soft blues, rustic French antiques, and mismatched porcelain plates and silverware. Candlelight flickers at Saint Claire, the welcoming country mouse to Mosquito Supper Club's city setting. Spicy Mango is now open on Frenchmen Street Larry Morrow, whose goal is to have 'the largest Black-owned restaurant group in the country,' opened Morrow Hospitality's fifth restaurant in New Orleans on July 5. Morrow premiered Spicy Mango, a Creole-Caribbean fusion restaurant on the corner of Frenchmen Street and Esplanade Avenue during Essence Fest. The 200-seat restaurant exudes an island vibe, with its creative use of thatching, a dining room mango tree, and an expansive patio featuring a central fountain. Jordan Lindsey, the company's culinary director, created an irie menu with specialties like jerked chicken, crawfish beignets, and a mango-fueled island salad. Since he and his mother, Lenora Chong, opened their first restaurant, Morrow's, in 2018, the company's portfolio has grown to include Morrow Steak, Monday Restaurant and Bar, Sun Chong, and Spicy Mango, as well as two nightclubs, Hide/Seek and Treehouse. Thaihey has a stall at St. Roch Market Chef Orawin's 'Nim' Yimchalam now has a Thaihey presence at the St. Roch Market. Yimchalam, who operates Thaihey at 308 Decatur Street with her husband Nathan Greene, now serves a menu of not the usual Thai dishes, like nam khoa tod, a crispy rice ball spiced with red curry, Thai herbs, and chunks of salami. The Thai sloppy Joe, a loose meat sandwich on a bun, bright with Thai basil, is a craveable new classic. Her expansion into the St. Roch Market brings her full circle— the chef's first location was at the now-shuttered White Star Market in Baton Rouge. Cajun Flames becomes the second LUFU The short-lived Cajun Flames restaurant from the team behind LUFU in the CBD, is now the Indian restaurant's second location. The Cajun concept didn't fly, opening and closing within a year. Led by chefs Sachin Darade, Aman Kota, and Shan Samantray, the location that was formerly Saint John at 1117 Decatur Street will drill deeper into the regional Indian dishes popular at the original restaurant. LUFU, which stands for Let Us Feed U, opened July 3. Fur Bébe Café is perfect for the dog days of summer Fur Bébe Café is New Orleans's first dog cafe, located at 4826 Magazine Street, Uptown. When it comes to a theme, owner Barrett Cooper is like a dog with a bone. He knows how to create a mood — Cooper operated the atmospheric Double Dealer lounge at the Orpheum. This cafe's theme is ever-present, from the bone-shaped door handle to the menu of dog treats and hilarious AI-generated dog art hung at pooch level. Of course, there's a menu for humans too, a deep coffee program along with doggy named bites like the Corgi Cobb salad and the Catahoula toast topped with blueberry compote, lemon ricotta, and mint. The dog- and family-friendly spot includes a shaded side patio with plans for an off-leash play area in the near future.

A beautiful new French country restaurant takes shape in Algiers
A new restaurant and event space from chef Melissa Martin and developer and restaurateur Cassi Dymond has taken shape like a dreamy French fairytale in Algiers. Why it matters: The restaurant is now taking reservations for seatings beginning June 26. The big picture: Martin has developed a now-national reputation for her Uptown restaurant, Mosquito Supper Club, and a pair of James Beard Award-recognized cookbooks that bear her thoughtful, environmentally conscious approach to the Cajun cuisine she grew up learning to cook from family. And Dymond co-owns Maple Street's Satsuma Cafe and Kalimera Construction, a commercial construction company that specializes in beautiful restaurant build-outs like Dakar NOLA, the Tell Me Bar and N7. The friends had long kicked around the idea of creating a restaurant in the country, Martin tells Axios New Orleans exclusively. Still, she laughs, "I don't think anybody's ever ready for the next phase." But then, the property at 1300 Richland Road came on the market. With its four acres of land dotted with towering oak trees and a century-old home at its core, the decision felt obvious. First, the pair rented the West Bank property, wanting to better get to know the 1920s historical home that once served as a WWII-era internment camp. They spent time learning about its history and the neighborhood — it sits adjacent to a parcel slated for a future bed and breakfast — before making the sale official. As they did, the concept for Saint Claire unfolded around them. "We were looking for a little bit of romance and just a lot of relaxation," Martin says, adding that they're exploring ways to weave in the property's complex history as they steward its future. The vibe: Though Martin and Dymond got some design help from Logan Killen Interiors, the vision for Saint Claire has always felt familiar. A center hall opens into a warm bar room and French country kitchen to one side, and an open dining space to the other. At the back, they've added a near-wraparound porch where you can imagine pouring glass after glass of wine as you listen to the frogs come alive in the yard at sunset, just a stone's throw from the Mississippi River levee. Inside, the space is filled with creamy whites and lived-in blues, simple French antiques, and mismatched porcelain plates and silverware. As guests sit for their meal, servers light a golden-yellow taper. "It's like somewhere I've never been but have always been," Martin muses. Zoom in: To start, Saint Claire will be open for dinner Thursday through Saturday and brunch on Saturdays and Sundays. But Martin and Dymond already have expansion plans for the future. With a space like they have on Richland Road, it's hard not to imagine them: live music on the sweeping lawn, picnic baskets packed and ready to go for guests to enjoy the green space and, maybe one day, a pool installed off to the side. Unlike Mosquito Supper Club's communal dining standard, Saint Claire guests will be seated individually with their party, though the space lends itself beautifully to gatherings large and small: Whether that's a solo glass of wine on the porch to "a 12-top to a wedding," Martin says. Dig in: Saint Claire offers a French country-inspired menu with around a dozen or so items. Some will be familiar, Martin says, for guests who frequent the a la carte bar menu at Mosquito Supper Club. During one night of the restaurant's soft opening, they included a dish I'm still thinking about, of beets that had been smoked overnight and served with créme fraiche and trout roe. I'm also going back for the oversized gnocchi that came swimming in lemony butter and laden with jumbo lump crab, and a chocolate semifreddo that arrived atop a drizzle of orange-scented olive oil. If you go: Saint Claire is at 1300 Richland Road in Algiers, which is about a 10-minute drive from the Warehouse District.
