Cafe Degas is situated in a tree house on Esplanade Ave. in New Orleans.  Having lunch in a tree house allows for a playful afternoon.  A dear friend, Nat, and I shared some wonder and deliciousness this afternoon.

She loves the ambiance and the menu at this Cafe that is midway between the Degas House and the New Orleans Museum of Art(NOMA).  The family house is where Degas spent ten months living, visiting, and painting and NOMA is where several original pieces reside. 

Breakfast, lunch and dinner are available from this cocooned eatery. The menu is inspired by the cafes of France.  Today, I indulged in a glass of Trimbach wine and a lovely goat cheese, walnut, and beet salad.  Nat enjoyed a lovely white crab meat salad.

Something about sitting in a tree house helps illicit happy memories and record new ones.  This photo is such a recording.

The lush history of this city allows us to continue to blend cultures and entertain with a European flair.
