Suggestions for Cajun and Creole Restaurant near New Orleans

Meg R. • April 16, 2011Go here for brunch. Must tries include: baked apple (enough to share between 2 people), Tasso ham omelette, and bananas foster. Good for big groups, but make reservations.

James T. • June 23, 2012Everything I had here was amazing. Recommend the duck and any of the crème brûlées.

Salil G. • February 15, 2013Alligator cheesecake. Fried grits. Carpet Bagger steak. Drum with pecan bernase. Duck gumbo. Fried chicken. All next level. Worth the long wait to get in.

Sarah N. • November 29, 2016The meatery board is amazing. The restaurant is comfy and smells like family dinner. Do not miss this place!

Bonita Camisa F. • January 31, 2016The oysters are sensacional and the shrimp appetizer is to die for. Waiters are very nice too

Lance L. • August 11, 2011treat yourself to the prix fixe 3-course menu. amazing redfish cake.

Ariana V. • June 9, 2017Crab beignets were lightly fried, filled w/plenty of crab. The tuna tartare was unique & delicious. The chocolate cake was also light and flavorful! Lastly, the NOLA Mule was very absinthe-forward👍🏻

Gus • May 9, 2017Good price! Great quality! Authentic spot to eat real cajun food!

Brad G. • November 23, 2013Straightforward Creole menu, and the shrimp and grits are a standout. The brunch with live music draws the most customers, but this place has solid food all day, all the time.

Shaun O. • April 23, 2014Scallops great. Lemon icebox pie great. Service great. Will be back.

D M. • October 17, 2015Old fashioned and fried chicken with some local hot sauce. Epic. Gumbo isn't all that bad either. Pecan pie is awesome too!

Tom M. • September 12, 2017The cheese board is great! Love the Swiss infused with wine.

Andrew C. • July 17, 2018Near the convention center, so it's quite the trek from Bourbon... but definitely worthwhile: got the duck wings (chewy but delicious) and classic fried chicken (decent portion and perfectly fried)!!

Kristi J. • July 27, 2011New dinner place. Fantastic food! Smothered okra was delicious. Ribs were juicy, sweet and tender.

Gambit New Orleans • February 6, 2013Lightly battered, impeccably fresh shrimp come on seeded loaves baked next door. A standout fried shrimp po-boy!

Dave K. • February 21Chicken that’s crispy on the outside, tender on the inside. Try the delicious bread pudding!

Becky O. • December 11, 2015Cochon de lait is delicious! The bread is quite light and airy which was a nice surprise.

T M. • January 22, 2018Service spot on. Enjoyed the small plates. Cauliflower and fresh fish dish were excellent. Recommend roasted oysters.

John F. • October 13, 2014Crepe du jour is good starter. Filet mignon and frites is done just right. Got a side grits which was a good call. Very smooth and a little spicy.

Kayla R. • October 13, 2018Limited menu, but only the best made the cut. Everything was great. Cute atmosphere with views of Magazine st.

Jhonatan V. • February 12, 2015The homemade roast beef Po-boy paired with the creole gumbo was delicious, definitely coming back again. Just one problem and that is parking if you are coming for lunch time.

Karen C. • November 2, 2021The chicken liver pâté was awesome as was the Cuban- we will be back for sure.

Kelly S. • October 31, 2016Beef po-boy, bloody mary's omelette were very good. Portions are large so we shared which was more than enough.

Russ W. • May 24, 2015Food was excellent. Also, the upstairs dining area was very quiet and a welcome change from the hustle bustle of bourbon

Lola • September 6, 2010Pasta on The Bayou is a phenomenal pasta. Thick and creamy sauce coats shrimp and crawfish well :)

Cindy C. • December 8, 2014Shrimp poboy is a unique and fresh take on the traditional. Definitely recommend it!
