Finding a secret courtyard can be a delightful surprise that only adds to your dining experience. There’s one lovely restaurant that’s hiding out in the Ninth Ward that’s got one of the most irresistibly charming courtyards, you just have to see it to believe it. And if you’re a cheese lover, then you should move this place to the top of your list, because Bacchanal is the place to be for wine and cheese dining. Let’s check it out.

The exterior of Bacchanal may not look like much, but as they say, “don’t judge a book by its cover.”

The enchanting courtyard is the perfect place to park it for a few hours with your friends. Spacious, well-lit, and those fans keep everything comfortable.

Bacchanal prides itself on Mediterranean living in a New Orleans style, and that’s the vibe you’ll get when you dine here. Just keep in mind, it is a 21+ establishment, so leave those kiddos at home.

Carefully curated and served mile-high-style, these cheese towers are served with toast, chutney, jelly, pickles, and olives. Add a charcuterie to the mix and you’ve got yourself a fancy feast fit for the royalty that you are.

But they’re more than just cheese. Salads, light bites, and specialty seafoods are often found on their rotating menu. Plus several meat dishes, including bacon wrapped dates and a Wagyu Tri-Trip that will send you into a carnivore coma it’s so good.

The best pairing with cheese is wine, and Bacchanal has one of the most extensive wine collections in the city.

They feature Old-World-style wines from smaller producers that are hard to come by, but perfectly matched with their cheeses. Grab a bottle or two before you leave so you can treat yourself to a new wine at home.
