We reserve the culinary artistic right to make slight changes to our dishes as food is more of an art than a science. Ingredients can vary in taste and seasonality and the creative discretion of our chefs is encouraged at NOLA.
We invite you to dine in our quirky, whimsical, boutique restaurant that brings a New Orleans-y dining/cultural experience to Osseo/Maple Grove, the twin cities area and beyond.
Enjoy our dishes that are infused with the celebrated flavors of fusion and modern Creole cuisine with the beautiful results that come from from-scratch cooking.
Its a rich melting-pot of tastes: just like New Orleans.
We, however, do differ in one aspect of New Orleans cooking. We do not use the oil/flour roux in our dishes (although New Orleans uses this with abandon and it is the basis of many of their gumbos and ettoufees). We thicken our dishes with fresh and less oily ingredients. So in this aspect our dishes are non-NOLA.
Remember, this is the Big Easy, come prepared to relax, savor the moments, and enjoy your meals here. This is a no rush zone of Minneapolis, St. Paul. We are not a fast-food place as our food is cooked to order.
