Deciphering the menu to get to the good stuff at Provisions on Perkins

Provisions on Perkins may have seemed to appear out of nowhere. Taking over the former Galatoire’s Bistro building in September 2018, this latest resident at the Acadian Village shopping center made some interesting renovations, and our secret restaurant reviewer was curious to explore it further.
