Melange

Artful decor, ample portions, and foods filled with rich, luxurious flavors distinguish this dining room inside upscale LaPlace, where amenities include candlelight and a well-assembled wine list. In keeping with the growing trend toward grazing, it's worth noting, too, that many of the salads and starters are suitable for sharing; and for shoppers headed to the nearby retail hot spots, weekend breakfast is a definite plus.
