Girl with the Gris gris

Girl with the Gris Gris is a New Orleans diner which is opened at Ding Dong Lounge which is a cool bar. Ding Dong Lounge has great drinks and a great bar. The waitress had a lot of fun doing her thing. They have a huge wine list of about 5 pages. The lighting is cool but not so good on the pictures.

Ding Dong Lounge has live entertainment from 9pm each night. The Girl with the Gris Gris is opened just for dinner.

Run by the American Chris Weysham this place has been opened for about a month. Before it used to be just a drinks bar. Not many people know that it now serves Cajun and Creole cuisine from New Orleans. Not many people knows that it serves gumbo and PO boys for dinner.

The service there was lovely. All the food came out quickly. My waitress was lovely in explaining the food to me and the big table of 10 people all wanting dinner.

Dinner is not too expensive with appetizers and snacks from under $10. Here I had their onion rings with their lovely sauce for $8 and their soup special of chilli and bacon soup for $6. You can opt for a bowl but I wanted to leave some room for the Po Boy ($12) and their bread and butter dessert (complimentary). The chilli soup wasn't too spicy so non chilli lovers will enjoy this with the sour cream inside.

The onion rings were lovely. They did not have a lot of batter on them and were made freshly.

The Eggplant Po Boy was fun to eat but messy. They do have meat Po Boy but I was intrigued to try the veggie one. The eggplant was really flavorsome. I couldn't really taste the tomato in there though.

By that stage I was really full. So I waited a little while to try their lovely Bread and Butter pudding. It did not disappoint at all.  The pudding was rich, buttery and decadent.

So do get your Po Boy and Gumbo on and come to this place pronto for a New Orleans dinner with drinks and entertainment.
