Take a seat at our signature French-inspired bistro, Couvant, housed in the former Peychaud Cocktail Bitters factory. Here, French techniques play on the roots of New Orleans cuisine using fresh, local ingredients.

New Orleans is renowned for its French cuisine, and you won’t have to leave the confines of The Eliza Jane to enjoy delicious fare within a French bistro.

Couvant specializes in classic French cooking serving entrees that pay homage to French history and regional specialties. Never pretentious, the dishes and service at Couvant are purposefully simple and social. Nestle into an intimate dining room banquette. Or dine at a bistro table in our historic courtyard for chef-driven entrées and a bottle of wine — or maybe two.

    Couvant was a beautiful atmosphere with delish food. I would recommend the food to anyone, and they had a variety of different meals. Our waitress was not very friendly and constantly seemed like she was in a hurry although there was only one other table seated aside from our table. Other than this, Couvant was overall very nice with great food!

    We were extremely happy with our breakfast at Couvant. The drinks were great and the food and service were excellent! This will be our new breakfast spot to go to before the Saints games.

    Appetizer and entrée were the top level of Justine and Miss River, but the desert tasted like cardboard. Thanksgiving set menu.
