; 400 S Meldrum St; mains $7-12)
Snuggled in an old house, the res-
taurant is a cozy dream - replete with creaking floors, winsome staff and fluffy, made-
from-scratch buttermilk biscuits. The Cajun home cookin' is fantastic; try the eggs
Pontchartrain, with pan-fried local trout, or the eggs New Orleans, which comes
smothered in spicy sauce. Simply put, it's Fort Collins' best breakfast.
