Restaurant review: Cork's Bayou is a culinary New Orleans carnival, right on MacCurtain Street

"Bayou is located in the old City Grill space and promises ‘Southern Comfort Food” with a strong Louisiana influence evident on the menu"

Don’t you simply love MacCurtain Street? I struggle to think of a more diverse (and fun) street anywhere in the country. 

I had forty minutes to kill before lunch in Bayou so I spent that time peering at the beautiful clocks in Stokes' window, and then at the jewellery and watches in Cash Connectors, before nipping into Unbound on Bridge St. to look at Kaweco and Lamy pens.
