The best restaurants New Orleans

Broussards has two faces. Lunch is available at a reasonable price (approximately $ 15 to US $ 20) while tasting a few culinary successes, such as massive, panini panini or the burger to crabcake. This menu is served only in the courtyard or bar. In the evening, the large rooms open their doors and the atmosphere becomes more crested. Charcuterie plates, oysters, Louisiana bouillabaisse, the chef pulls out the great means and off us.

When it opened in 1941, Edward Chase Sr., known as Dooky, and his wife Emily owned a small sandwich shop where African-Americans felt at home. Their daughter-in-law Leah now runs the place and has turned it into a nationally recognized restaurant for local Creole cuisine. A gathering place for leaders of the civil rights movement (Martin Luther King passed through here), this is also where Barack Obama came when he visited New Orleans right after his presidential inauguration.

You will find at Johnny, in a cafeteria decor, more than 43 kinds of po, the best in the city. The local sandwich is served in all the sauces: with scrambled or ham eggs for breakfast or with alligator or crayfish for lunch.

Located a few steps from Jackson Square and established in one of the oldest buildings in the French Quarter, Gumbo Shop is a good place to try local cuisine. In a large room with a Parisian brasserie feel and beautiful engravings on the walls reminiscent of French New Orleans, you can try Cajun or Creole meat or seafood dishes, all at a reasonable price. The service is fast and efficient, and the food quite good. The interior courtyard is very pleasant, unless you are near the entrance hallway.

The beautiful courtyard with vineyards and its romantic atmosphere (especially in the evening) are the few more of this address. The buffet serves the enlarge of New Orleans. The dishes lack refinement. If you're lucky, a jazz group will regain the hubbub of seated tourists.

Located a stone's throw from the Lafitte Greenway, this restaurant focuses on regional cuisine. All possible specialties are on the menu, starting with the spun gumbo with shrimp, smoked sausage and ham as well as the red bean and rice plate with a choice of fried chicken, pork chops or sausage to top it all off. Fish and seafood lovers will be served, either grilled or fried, without forgetting the grilled oysters, the po-boy sandwiches, etc. For two people, we recommend Neyow's Extravanganza Dinner for a taste of everything.

Opened in 2018 by chef-owner Eric Cook (who also owns Saint John in the French Quarter), Gris-Gris keeps racking up the honors, whether it's best neighborhood restaurant, best brunch or outright restaurant of the year. In short, this is not the chef's first try, and it shows. His cuisine is inspired by the different culinary styles of Louisiana with a modern touch and some international accents, whether for brunch, lunch or dinner. A nice list of alcoholic beverages to accompany it all.

Rosedale is the home of renowned local chef Susan Spicer, located in the Navarre neighborhood in a house that was once the police station (it was moved to its current location in 1951). The restaurant has become a hot spot for locals and locals alike, serving up tasty Louisiana cuisine such as po-boy with suckling pig, barbecue or Creole shrimp, Gulf fish stir-fry or fried chicken with mac & cheese. The prices are really low considering the quality of the food.

What a great place, nestled in a Creole house in a residential area with beautiful artwork adorning the walls! Atchafalaya does typical New Orleans cuisine while pushing the boundaries of tradition. Its shrimp & grits dish is known as one of the best in town, but you should also try the gumbo of the day or the mushroom risotto from Maggies Farm. The brunch, offered every day and with live music on weekends, is an absolute must, especially since the place offers a Bloody Mary Bar. A must try!

It's THE soul food spot in the Mid-City neighborhood, a type of cuisine that is ultra comforting and very popular in the United States. And Heard Dat Kitchen has been a family affair since it opened in 2015, with Jeffrey Heard and his daughter Tia at the helm in the kitchen. Iconic crowd-pleasers include the Superdome (blackened fish topped with mashed potatoes, lobster gravy, corn and onion rings) and the Bourbon Street Love (fried chicken served on mac & cheese with shredded cheddar and Crawdat's famous house sauce).

Chef-owner Isaac Toups is one of the up-and-coming chefs in Cajun cuisine. It must be said that his family has been established on Louisiana soil for over three hundred years! Since its opening about ten years ago, the restaurant has not been empty. Many come for the house-made charcuterie (hence the name of the establishment), which is featured both in the dishes and on the tasting board. A must try is the couvillion, a Cajun fish and seafood stew. The chocolate and chicory pie is a must.

What started out as a food truck called "The Que Crawl" has had a popular home base since 2008. The name of the restaurant refers to the Cajun tradition of butchering pigs, which are killed according to a ritual and shared between neighboring families to feed themselves throughout the winter. Pork is on the menu, but so is smoked Wagyu beef brisket, applewood-smoked scallops and pan-fried swordfish. We recommend the chef's 5-course menu to fully discover the flavors of the American South.
