It closes at 6 during the week, but is open until 8 Friday & Saturday nights, making it a good spot for an early dinner (read: date night) before catching a movie at the Prytania. [Eater 38 Member]
A James Beard Award winning restaurant run by two James Beard Award winning chefs, there’s no surprise Cochon is among the best restaurants in town. [Eater 38 Member]
Cowbell has been open since late 2010 and has already built a strong following that goes well beyond the uptown college crowd. [Eater 38 Member]
Amazing fried chicken, often called the best in town. The food and atmosphere are quintessential New Orleans, among the best you’ll find in town. [Eater 38 Member]
This pizza pop-up in the Bywater is pick-up only on those couple days a week it’s open, but despite that it’s already established itself as one of the best pizzas in town. [Eater 38 Member]
The best (or at least most whimsical) dish? “A Link,” which is one link of sausage, whatever the chef feels like sending your way. [Eater 38 Member]
Featured extensively in HBO’s “Treme,” Lil’ Dizzy’s is perfect for a creole or soul food lunch from the lunch buffet. Call for hours. [Eater 38 Member]
It’s impossible to say any shop has the best po’ boys, but they make a strong claim to that title here. They’re expensive for po’ boys, but they’re large and worth every penny. [Eater 38 Member]
The fried chicken rivals that at nearby Willie Mae’s, and the fried catfish will be some of the best you’ve ever had. [Eater 38 Member]
Combining all sorts of flavors and ingredients into normal Mexican dishes like tacos and quesadillas, Juan’s also offers regular happy hour specials on margs and mojitos. [Eater 38 Member]
It doesn't hurt that chef/owner Adam Biderman opened the shop after a stint at Atlanta spot Holeman & Finch. He was responsible for the uber-famous burger there. [Eater 38 Member]
Chef Brad McGeehee, who doesn't just source locally, but in-house, creates daily specials showcasing produce (and eggs) from the restaurant's own farm. [Eater 38 Member]
For decor, local renown, and general deliciousness, Casamento’s is hard to beat. You can’t go wrong with the chargrilled or raw oysters or the legendary oyster loaf. [Eater 38 Member]
