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. Or dine at a bistro table in our historic courtyard for chef-driven entrées and a bottle of wine — or maybe two.

                                                              Couvant, nestled in The Eliza Jane Hotel, offers a delightful French bistro experience with a Cajun twist. Guests rave about the "exceptional" food, friendly service, and charming atmosphere. Favorites include the crème brûlée and duck confit Benedict. While some found portions small, the overall dining experience is highly recommended.

Took forever to get drinks took even longer for me to get a cup of tea when I asked for a 2nd cup of tea he gave me hot water., I actually needed the bag The food was OK I ordered soup it was lukewarm instead of focaccia I got a piece of toast and the truffled veloute  had regular mushrooms in it. Really a lousy experience

We were at the restaurant for almost 2 hours due to the slow service. We did go on Christmas, and he did appear to have way too many tables assigned to him. It appeared every table was experiencing the same issues. It was Christmas, so hopefully this isn't an everyday issue for them.

                                                                Couvant is an excellent restaurant. Service and food were top notch. The duck egg rolls are a must try appetizer and they have the best fries I’ve ever tasted. Asked the waiter and fries were cooked in duck fat so good. Definitely check this place out
