Emeril’s

regional · ★★ Michelin

$$$

The young E.J. Lagasse, son of the indomitable namesake, now oversees a remarkable dining room that has celebrated Creole cuisine for more than three decades. His determination is palpable as he charts a new course, bringing contemporary refinement and vibrant originality to the fore. BBQ shrimp tarts, deep-flavored gumbo and superb, golden-brown cornbread paired with French butter feel familiar and new at once. This is cooking that bursts with personality and class and never at the cost of flavor. Generously spaced tables and plush banquettes offer direct, unobstructed views into a gleaming k

Saint-Germain

Contemporary · ★ Michelin

$$$$

The old adage about not judging a book by its cover couldn’t be more apt for this little restaurant in Bywater. An unassuming front advertising "natural wines and garden patio" leads to a quaint bar where Chefs Blake Aguillard and Trey Smith start the meal with a few pleasant bites. Once inside the intimate dining room, the contemporary tasting kicks into high gear with a griddled cornbread cake smeared with butter aged and cultured in-house. The combination is outrageously satisfying. A series of petite courses follows, each one showcasing refined sauces and bold flavors. Carolina Gold rice w

Zasu

american · ★ Michelin

$$$

Chef Sue Zemanick is no stranger to the New Orleans dining scene, having spent time in the kitchens of some of the city's famed restaurants before opening Zasu in 2019. Set in an easy-to-miss cottage in Mid-City, it's an elegant oasis with a sleek dining room marked by wood floors, dark green walls and gold tones. The menu is tightly edited, featuring a dozen or so dishes focused on seafood and blending local flavors with French techniques. A scallop shell holds two perfectly seared scallops in a Thai chile-lime butter with watermelon radish for a refreshing opener, while tilefish on a bed of

Mister Mao

Asian, Contemporary · Bib

Who is not having a great time at Mister Mao? Miles away from the French Quarter in Uptown, find a lively dining room painted top to bottom in bubblegum pink and emerald green. The colorful setting is as vibrant and upbeat as the cooking. This is not food that fits into a tidy box, as inspiration leans Asian and Indian with detours all over. Fried chicken dumplings with date and poblano chile chutney are as satisfying as garlicky egg noodles glossed in butter, oyster and fish sauce, and Parmesan. Kale and collards cooked down with cumin, turmeric and coconut milk is a cross-cultural sensation.

Domilise’s Po-Boy & Bar

sandwich · Bib

There are some places that have earned cult status for their offerings, and Domilise's Po-Boy & Bar, opened since 1918, is one of them. Here in their humble sandwich shop on a corner of Uptown, they serve a small menu of sandwiches. They're not just any sandwiches, of course. These are po'boys, and they're legendary. Walk in, chat with the friendly staff and place your order for a shrimp po'boy—it's what everyone else is here for too. Battered, fried shrimp bathed in a hot sauce are tucked inside Leidenheimer bread with shredded lettuce, mayo and a pickle. You'll be back for another soon enoug

Hungry Eyes

Fusion · Bib

Is subtlety overrated? Chef Mason Hereford makes a compelling case at this kitschy restaurant on Magazine Street. Those familiar with his sandwich sensations at Turkey and the Wolf will not be surprised to find a similar kind of culinary maximalism. Big, bold, loud flavors that adhere to no one cuisine course through the cooking and consistently harmonize into something delicious. Charred cabbage and bok choy jolted with Sichuan peppercorn oil, toasted peanuts and rice is basically an entree but listed as an appetizer. Artichokes on the half shell is the garlicky, veggie alternative to the oys

Saba

Middle Eastern · Bib

For the last decade, the city has feasted on Alon Shaya’s hummus served with puffy pita bread charred in a wood-burning oven. Creamy and smooth, this time-tested combination is immensely satisfying. At Saba, which means “grandfather” in Hebrew, blue crab and lemon butter take this classic dish to another level. Where has this twist been all this time? Much of the menu at this expansive restaurant in Uptown reads straightforward—pickles, dips, salads—but what lands on the table is vibrant and refreshing. Chef Shaya’s operations now stretch to other parts of the country, but expansion has not wa

Cochon

american · Bib

Set within a corner of a large warehouse in the Central Business District, Cochon charms with exposed brick and wood-paneled walls, black floors with rust accents, and a mix of tables, booths and banquettes. It's Southern food at its finest here, where you'll find everything from wood-fired oysters to fried alligator. Order a drink from their wide selection of whiskey, rye and bourbon, then settle in for a snack like chili-dusted cracklins with Steen's cane syrup. Main dish hits include chicken and house-made andouille sausage gumbo loaded with flavor, or rabbit and dumplings, a comforting rec
