Cajun food in Canada? Hip, young Saint Johners don't seem to find anything
odd about the idea, flocking to eat fried oysters and muffuletta sandwiches at this re-
cently opened pair of adjacent New Orleans-style restaurants. Bourbon Quarter is more
formal, Magnolia a casual lunch spot. Both have live music.
