In a city where speakeasies, pop-ups and impromptu supper clubs can grab the attention of diners, a new spot opened quietly on the edge of the 9th Ward.

N7 (1117 Montegut St.) opened in November on a quiet stretch of Montegut Street, though news of the opening was only first reported this week,*and the owners have so far eschewed publicity, giving the spot a reputation of being the neighborhood's best-kept secret.*

N7 might no longer be a secret, but the French bar and restaurant just steps off St. Claude Avenue is easy to miss ? a red stenciled sign adorning a wooden gate is the only indication of what lies behind the tall fence shielding the building, which*used to house a tire shop, and before that, a horse stable.?
