You're on St John Street, wedged between the cathedral quarter and the shopping district, and suddenly the smell hits you—proper Cajun seasoning, not the tired fast-food approximation you've had before. Popeyes does fried chicken with actual flavour and heat, the kind that makes you reach for a Coke before you've finished your first piece. It's quick, it's loud, it's completely unpretentious. Grab a bucket, some spicy tenders, and biscuits slathered in butter. Queues move fast even when it's rammed, and the staff know what they're doing. Come here when you want something genuinely tasty that won't wreck your wallet or your evening.
