N7

New Orleans

Restaurant

$$$$

Look for the vintage Citroen car parked on the curb of Montegut Street; find the wooden fence, discreetly marked with a red stencil, and voila: you’ve successfully located N7. Named for the highway Parisians take when flocking south on vacation, N7 is authentically French, both in ambience (think Jane Birkin records crooning softly throughout the cottage-like environs, salvaged bistro tables in the backyard, lit by strings of light) and in the concentrated simplicity of its menu (in addition to quintessentially European canned seafood, notable offerings include the steak au poivre and cheese for dessert).
