Patula
619 Royal St, New Orleans, LA
Crema's Take
“Patula is a convivial New Orleans gem where creative small plates and carefully curated wines take center stage, drawing everyone from locals to traveled New Yorkers who can't stop raving about the perfectly balanced flavors—think sardines with ideal spice, fresh Caesar salads, and inventive dishes that change with the seasons. The relaxed, outdoor-focused vibe makes it ideal for lingering with friends over a bottle you'll happily finish, all while sharing unexpected bites like Middle Eastern-spiced meatballs or delicate crab cakes that spark genuine delight.”
What to expect
Specialty coffee, with creative signature drinks. A slow-sit, outdoor seating spot, good for meetings. Light food on the menu.

Wow! What a fascinating place. The food is extremely complex and the wines pair perfectly. The flavors are 4 dimensional and pair exceptionally with the wines on their list. What a gem! If you’re looking for something just totally different than anything you’ve ever had in all…
