Palm&Pine is a French Quarter restaurant at the edge of Rampart Street, opened in July 2019 by chef/owners and partners Amarys Koenig Herndon and Jordan Herndon, both James Beard Best Chef: South semifinalists. The kitchen draws on Louisiana, the broader South, and "South of That" — the Caribbean, Mexico, and Central America. The Pine Bar builds cocktails around agave and cane spirits, but its standout for non-drinkers is a dedicated, named spirit-free section called "Kitten Club," treated as seriously as the full bar. The current zero-proof list leans on Ritual and Pathfinder non-alcoholic spirits: the Heartfruit Tonic (Ritual NA Gin, strawberry, lime, tonic) and the Rosella Refresher (Pathfinder, hibiscus, lemon), plus St. Buena Vida NA sparkling and Untitled Art NA beer. The section rotates seasonally and has run as a Dry January feature.
