I have had a few good meals at Cafe Degas since the storm. I tend to stick to the classics though, crepes, omelettes, and the liver and onions dish. Regarding the cheese board, they buy from St. James Cheese Company on Prytania St.
JG, We had scallops, hanger steak, & the cheeseboard - all excellent. I've also had their coq au vin, another excellent choice, but it was not on their lunch menu last week. Enjoy!
