Madrid Restaurant Reopens in Lakeview
Posted by Ian McNulty @IanMcNultyNOLA on Wed, May 6, 2009 at 4:48 PM
Lakeview now has a new Spanish restaurant with familiar local credentials. Madrid Restaurant (300 Harrison Ave., 482-2757) opened last night, and serves dinner Monday through Saturday.
- At the helm is Juan Hernandez, a native Spaniard who was chef and co-owner of Madrid Restaurante in Kenner. He ran the place with co-owner Juan Contreras from 2004 until Katrina struck. They parted ways after the storm and Contreras now operates the Mexican restaurant El Gato Negro near the French Market.
- Madrid's menu of tapas and paella will be familiar to those who dined at the restaurant's first incarnation, though a liquor license is still in the works to allow Spanish wines and sangria to accompany meals. In the meantime the restaurant is BYOB.
- The old Madrid was in a strip mall along a Kenner side street otherwise dominated by a Home Depot, but people still sought it out. This new version is in a former convenience store a bit outside the main Harrison Avenue commercial strip. Knowing how eagerly Lakeview people have embraced new, local ventures, I don't think it will take long for the neighborhood to find Madrid.
