Brigtsen's Restaurant

Copy Link

Frank Brigtsen, prize pupil of legendary chef Paul Prudhomme, opened this namesake restaurant in a cozy Riverbend shotgun with his wife, Marna, in 1986. Since then, Brigtsen has become one of the most respected chefs in New Orleans with his modern but familiar Creole cuisine, like New Orleans-style barbecue shrimp with calas, a once nearly extinct fried rice ball that street vendors used to sell near the French Market and at Congo Square.

Domilise's Po-Boy & Bar

Copy Link

It’s impossible to say any shop has the best po’ boys, but these make a strong claim to that title. Domilise’s doesn’t look like much from the outside on an Uptown corner; adorned only with a hand-printed sign, it’s been that way for decades. Inside, longtime employees sling giant po’ boys to locals, politicians, visiting celebrities, and anyone with good taste. The po’ boys might be considered pricey (a large shrimp currently goes for $15), but they’re generous and worth every penny, especially the melty roast beef and crispy fried shrimp, fully dressed.

Luvi Restaurant

Remaining one of the most exciting restaurants in New Orleans since opening in 2018, Luvi is a petite and colorful Uptown cottage where chef Hao Gong wows with his mastery of Japanese and Chinese cuisines. Gong, who worked for years at Sake Cafe, nails dishes of raw and nearly raw fish paired with the likes of cucumber and yuzu vinegar and pink dragon fruit, as well as Shanghai comfort food like dumplings, dan dan noodles, and bam bam chicken.

Queen Trini Lisa

This eponymous island soul food restaurant from Queen Trini Lisa, a New Orleans chef from Trinidad, brought a joyful, friendly destination for doubles to Mid City in early 2022. Airy and colorful, the corner restaurant offers a slew of Trinbagonian specialties, with the fish sandwich, oxtail soup, curry chicken, and Caribbean-style spinach all standouts. Try the doubles, of course — as Queen Trini Lisa says, “More doubles, less troubles!”

Don’t be misled by the quaint little Mid City building that holds Zasu — Sue Zemanick’s restaurant is a powerhouse, delivering a memorable meal every time. James Beard Award-winning Zemanick and chef de cuisine Jeff McLennan wow with intricate preparation of seasonal Gulf coast products. While the menu changes, a few dishes have stayed consistent since it opened in 2019: grilled baby octopus with baby potatoes, olives, capers, and red peppers, and gruyere and potato pierogies among them.

La Petite Grocery

Justin Devillier’s Uptown gem doesn’t disappoint for any fine dining occasion, whether a business lunch or a romantic anniversary dinner. From its elegant Magazine Street storefront to its cozy, dimly lit dining room, La Petite Grocery is a charmer. Don’t miss the turtle Bolognese or blue crab beignets, which were some of the first to pop up on fine dining menus in the city and are now a common small plate.

Saffron

Copy Link

Saffron’s highly-praised debut on Magazine Street was years in the making: Prior to its opening, the Vilkhu family served a menu of modern Indian food in a West Bank strip mall, on weekends only, for five years. Devoted diners eventually convinced the family to go all in on the business, and the result is a modern, dazzling space with a buzzing energy and dishes that at times fuse Indian and Louisiana cuisines, and at times fuse North and South Indian. Among the many standouts are the lamb chops, goat masala, any of the shrimp dishes, and the paneer pudha.

Dakar NOLA

James Beard nominee Serigne Mbaye’s dazzling Senegalese tasting menu dinners are now a permanent fixture at an intimate cottage in Uptown New Orleans. At Dakar NOLA, opened in November 2023 after years of pop-up dinners, Mbaye’s upscale riffs on traditional West African and Senegalese dishes that blend West African and Louisiana ingredients are served in a communal setting accompanied by detailed explanations. Stunning dishes might include soupa konja, a sort of Senegalese gumbo; fonio salad with West African millet, finger limes, and satsuma (or other seasonal produce); and a Gulf shrimp dish made with tamarind and parsley oil, which loosely recalls a less-saucy New Orleans-style barbecue shrimp.

Cafe Degas sits on one of New Orleans’s dramatically tree-lined thoroughfares, Esplanade Avenue, just a few blocks from the house Edgar Degas lived in during his several-month stint in the city. The dining room, more like an open-air patio with a pecan tree growing in the middle of it, is the quintessential New Orleans setting for mussels and frites, escargot, French onion soup, and the seasonal soft shell crab dish, at surprisingly reasonable prices.

Liuzza's by the Track

This horse-themed, no-frills neighborhood joint near the Fairgrounds attracts regulars and tourists for frosty goblets of Abita beer, bloody marys, fried seafood platters, and po’ boys. Known also for gumbo and an herbaceous barbecue shrimp po’ boy (actually a pistolette, or hollowed-out roll, rather than typical po’ boy bread), the star of the menu might be the only slightly less recognized garlic oyster po’ boy, stuffed to the brim with fried oysters.

One of New Orleans most endearing restaurants (and there are many), Cafe Reconcile doubles as a successful job-training program for teens and young adults.

Dooky Chase Restaurant

Food world icon Leah Chase (who died at 96 in 2019), also known as the “Queen of Creole cuisine,” turned Dooky Chase’s into the legendary fine dining establishment it is now, and luckily the new generation is innovating while upholding her tradition-centric legacy. The Treme institution continues to nourish bodies and souls with gumbo z’herbes, shrimp Clemenceau (a dish of shrimp, potatoes, mushrooms, and peas), and fried chicken in the tradition of Miss Chase.

It’s good to know your order when heading into Dan Stein’s tiny Jewish/Italian deli and crowded lunch destination on Magazine Street, but if you’re really unsure, staff will (sometimes begrudgingly) help you pick the perfect sandwich. Corned beef and pastrami are the stars here, so the Reuben or Rachel serve as shining examples of the shop’s abilities.

Bright, colorful, and lively, Maïs Arepas serves festive fresh fruit cocktails, Colombian-style ceviche, empanadas, and brochetas, and of course, a vast menu of savory, overstuffed arepas.

The buzz generated by Mason Hereford’s delicious twists on childhood favorites at Turkey and the Wolf has yet to wear off, but for good reason — the sandwiches and specials that won so much acclaim upon the restaurant’s Lower Garden District debut continue to surprise, satisfy, and delight. While it was the bologna sandwich that first caught on nationwide, the collard green melt and smoked ham sandwiches are just as notable. Don’t miss the frozen margarita.

This much-anticipated debut solo venture from former Kin chef Nhat Nguyen has lived up to the hype. Ramen fans from around the city have descended to the charming Magazine Street storefront over the last few years, but diners can expect so much more than just Nguyen’s rich, chicken broth-based varieties. There’s also a creative Vietnamese/“East meets West” small plate menu, with dishes like a confit mushroom Caesar salad and purse dumplings stuffed with pimento cheese. Seasonal cocktails from the bar always hit the mark.

It’s incredible, really, just how many specialties Williams serves and excels at — both mains and sides — so it’s no surprise that the sunny, three-year-old Derbigny Street restaurant has grown into the West Bank’s favorite place to run into friends and enjoy homestyle cooking at its best.
