Felix’s Restaurant has that “Cheers” vibe, where everybody knows your name. A T-shirt and jeans kind of place that feels like a diner out-of-time right in the French Quarter. If you go, Ask for Ken. He is extremely helpful and knowledgeable about dietary restrictions.Gluten free NOLA staples are tough to locate. With a need for cajun faire, we were delighted to find that Felix’s has a delicious GF jambalaya! Kick up the heat by adding some savory Louisiana hot sauce!Felix’s Char-Grilled Oysters are buttery and rich the way grilled oysters are meant to be. So decadent, just be sure to ask for them without breading. Blackened shrimp and fish are available in gluten-free form as well which was nearly impossible to find everywhere else. Ken also was acutely aware of the difference between gluten sensitive and celiacs giving us the impression that cross contamination risk is minimal here.Not only is the staff accommodating to nearly all dietary restrictions, our server understood the GF struggle and recommended other local establishments! He also listed some vegan and vegetarian eateries, you know, just in case. It’s fresh seafood, quick service and happy staff make this stop a must.
