GRIS-GRIS

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.
