Review & Frequenly Asked Questions:

Jacques-Imo's Cafe is a dream realized by Jacques Leonard, an upstate New York native raised by a French mother and Italian father. He grew up learning the cuisine of both countries, which gave him the building blocks for becoming the renowned chef he is today. Once stationed with the military in New Orleans, he fell in love with the city.

He began his career learning ‘Nawlins’ basics from Chef Paul. By 1996 he and his wife had purchased the restaurant and designed the eclectically colorful interior along with the diverse Nawlins’-style menu. Visitors will enjoy interacting with this quirky chef while eating his delicious creations, such as Cajun bouillabaisse.
