So we finally tried NoNo Kitchen.

NoNo stands for North of New Orleans to those who don’t know. And the fare at this eatery on Seventh Avenue between 7th and 8th Streets is Cajun with some traditional southern cooking thrown in for good measure. It’s also fresh, delicious and nicely served. In fact, the service is very attentive and they have a good beer and wine list.

Love the corn bread.

But what a deal. On Monday-Thursday nights they have a $25. prix fix and it’s a lot of good food. The PF comes with an appetizer, a soup or salad, a main course and a delicious dessert.

We were impressed. Plus it’s a pleasant restaurant to sit in. For appetizers we tried the fried okra, the popcorn catfish and the Jambalaya Won Tons. For entrees, I had the Shrimp Creole, which was not on the Prix Fix menu. It was very good. Hepcat and Teen Spirit had the salmon, which was on the PF. And OSFO had the smothered steak, which was DELISH and EVERYONE at the table was stealing bites.

Frankly, I was surprised no one ordered the Honey and Cane Syrup Slow Roasted Pork Tender Loin Tender Pork Loin Served with Poor Man’s Gravy Cornbread Dressing & Vegetables. Yum, that sounded good.

Yes, we will return to NoNo kitchen when we’re in the mood for hearty good eats and Arrogant Bastard beer. It’s perfect for the winter months. Jamalaya. Creole. Ribs. Roasted Pork Loin. Steak. Hearty, hearty good stuff.
