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.

    Great Easter Brunch. We were a little late making Easter Brunch reservations for our weekend trip to NOLA. So, on Saturday Couvant still had openings for Easter Sunday. In a casual but hip setting we had a delicious 3-course brunch for $62. Perfect amount of food. Every dish we tried was excellent. The service was friendly and efficient. We were very happy to spend the morning at Couvant and to see the cool Eliza Jane Hotel, a Hyatt property.

    I had never been to this brewery and I wasn’t disappointed. Friendly staff, good food and excellent beers. I tried three different beers, as did my friend, and each one was excellent. The food was very good, especially the pulled pork. The only slight disappointment were the sides that were a little bland. We stayed past closing and the staff was very accommodating about letting us finish our beers without rushing us out. The noise level was a little high but not where it had a negative effect.
