Mike Winston: Cochon Restaurant is an upscale, meaty, cajun BBQ paradise. Don't miss the Boudin Balls, Fried Alligator, Rabbit & Dumplings, or Hey Jack cocktail. Read about my visit on WinstonWanders below! Read more.
Scott Arrredondo: The rabbit and dumplings are really good, and if your not from the south and never tried alligator, then this is the place, it's great.
Nick Johnson: The rabbit and dumplings is great comfort food. Possibly the best bread I've ever been given in a restaurant.

Gloria Chin: lobster & blue crab beignets, collard greens, lamb shank sandwich, foie gras french toast, crawfish perogies, duck fat fried potatoes
Kika G: It's difficult to choose--everything is unique and fresh. Ricotta dumplings and the chilled gulf coast sea food dish were our fave!
cj fitzgerald: Bistro-style eatery, chef known for placing an unexpected twist on traditional New Orleans cuisine. Get the Blue Crab Beignets, Turtle Bolognese, Hand Cut Fries, Ricotta Dumplings or LPG Cheeseburger
Valentin Guerin: Sit at the bar, enjoy a perfect cocktail (I like the Missionary's Downfall and the Bum's Rush) and great bar food (shrimps in a blanket, dumplings, etc). They have a decent menu.
Allie Spears: Shrimps in blankets, glorious rum selection, steak frites
Marigny9: "The other Tiki bar" may have won Food & Wine's Best New Bar in the US, but L29's dream team of mixologists creates far superior cocktails that are not only drinkable but also delicious.
