Set in a colonial-style building at 2032 Woodrow St. in Mandeville, Noir Bistrot is a European-influence tapas restaurant preparing to open its doors in mid-February. According to the official website, Noir Bistrot will serve small plate dishes from France, Spain, and Italy. The scratch kitchen will rotate its menu biweekly, with dishes subject to ingredient availability. It will also feature a carefully curated selection of wines and a full bar.
Inside, the restaurant space will be small and intimate, ideal for parties of four or fewer, with children welcome until 8 p.m. There’s also seating in an outdoor courtyard that the website describes as pet-friendly. Noir Bistrot is planning a regular event schedule, which is currently focused on fitness pop-ups. The website says the restaurant is hoping to attract various types of artists to be part of the Noir Bistrot community. What Now New Orleans has reached out to ownership for additional information.
