Backstreet is such a gem! I celebrated my birthday here last year, and it was absolutely perfect. The atmosphere is so cozy and charming, and the food was amazing. As a celiac girlie, dining out can be tricky, but the staff was super accommodating and helped me navigate the menu safely. It’s such a great spot for special occasions or just a nice night out!

Backstreet Cafe is one of my favorite places to eat because of the menu, the excellent service from all staff, and the restaurant is very comfortable. My favorite item is the vegetarian plate, with asparagus risotto, roasted cauliflower, corn souffle, and other vegetables cooked to perfection! And the Gumbo is amazing. Every restaurant in the HTown Restaurant is excellent. I've eaten at Hugo's and Caracol as well.

Vegetarian options: Ask for Vegetarian.
