Crescent City Cafe

Description:

• This tiny but bright eatery on Haight serves some of the most authentic Cajun/Creole food to be found this far from Louisiana. There are two reasons. First, the owners are from the Bayou State and they know what they are doing when it comes to whipping up the down-home cooking from that region. Second, they fly in real Gulf of Mexico seafood to go into the Jambalaya, Etouffee and gumbo that they serve up with style and a smile. The space is decorated with feathered masks and posters from The Big Easy in Mardi Gras colors of purple, yellow and green. Lines of people from all over form at peak hours. It is worth the wait. This is one of the only places in The City that can cook a pot of breakfast grits properly.
