Chef Justin Devillier Will Open a French Quarter Restaurant

Chef Justin Devillier and business parter and wife Mia Freiberger-Devillier, of La Petite Grocery and Balise, are opening a French brasserie on Chartres Street in the French Quarter near the Hotel Monteleone, reports Brett Anderson of NOLA.COM.

In the report, Devillier says that the new restaurant is still in the “infant phase.” It doesn’t have a name or an opening date yet. The couple is still working out the concept, but they do know is that it will be their version of a brasserie.
