Evoking the bygone era of Old-World New Orleans, Balise is a new restaurant set in a 19th century Creole townhouse, featuring a Louisiana-focused menu created by Chef Justin Devillier (James Beard finalist for Best Chef: South in 2012, 2013, and 2014). The name Balise is derived from the first settlement at the mouth of the Mississippi River’s Birdfoot Delta, which controlled commerce coming from the Gulf of Mexico to New France.
The origin of the restaurant’s name served as inspiration for the initial brand development. Eccentric elements, coupled with New Orlean’s culturally rich past is reflective in the graphic details, hand-rendered type and color palette. We’re currently working with Justin and Mia on the printed materials and digital presence, which will launch in January.
