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

Lufu Nola

Indian, Contemporary · Bib

Two friends with a passion for food and respect for their roots. That's the origin story of Lufu, or "let us feed you," Nola. Aman Kota and Sarthak “Shan” Samantray originally did pop-ups but after adding partner and chef Sachin Darade, the three opened this brick-and-mortar in the Central Business District. This is craveable Indian cooking. Tandoori-grilled naan, charred and puffy, wafts with the scent of garlic and butter. Then, if you only get one thing, let it be the dosa. Golden and crisp, it's served with a side of sambar masala and a light green sauce. Chase it with a drink like their C

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

Dooky Chase

regional · Bib

The legacy of Leah Chase shines as bright as ever. In the 1960s, her dining room hosted countless Civil Rights activists and leaders. Today, it is under the care of her grandson Chef Edgar Dook Chase IV, who continues the family tradition of cooking heartwarming Creole cuisine. Gumbo, red beans and rice, and golden fried chicken strike honest chords alongside mustard greens and peach cobbler. A dazzling collection of African-American art adorns walls painted red, with red patterned carpet and red-striped chairs to boot. All the while, congenial matriarchs take their time walking by each and ev

$$$$

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

This restaurant has been weathering storms and going strong for more than two decades. Pull up a chair inside this dining room overlooking St. Charles Street and you'll soon see why. The food is a skilled blend of Cajun and Creole undertones laced with French and Italian inspiration, but there's no need to classify it, just enjoy it. The house-made spaghetti is a perennial favorite but there are so many winning dishes, including a refreshing jumbo lump crab with watermelon and their take on the classic duck confit: Muscovy duck leg confit with dirty rice and citrus gastrique. It's a signature

In the realm of fried chicken excellence, few do it better than the Seaton family. With history dating back to 1957, this institution has found a way to maintain quality and spirit while moving ahead with expansion and even relocation. The sunny, spacious dining room in downtown is miles from the original in Treme, but the fried chicken is as superb as ever. The menu offers more, but first timers need to stay focused. A cup of finely spiced gumbo with shrimp and blue crab is the only start you need before the main event. Sides like butter beans and rice or spiced cabbage round out a hearty mea

Seafood

$$$

With a decade of history under its belt, Donald Link’s Pêche continues to deliver in this rustic-industrial space on Magazine Street. Seafood sourced directly from the Gulf and prepared with care, often on a grill, continues to be the restaurant’s calling card. Smoked tuna dip, fried shrimp toast or a classic seafood gumbo all make for sensible starters. Larger parties should consider sharing a whole fish complemented by a host of fun sides like brown rice congee or citrus glazed turnips. Comprising a wood-burning grill, a marble-topped raw bar and an always buzzing bar up front, there's no ba
