"The crown jewel of the Brennan empire, this landmark Garden District restaurant has been a beacon of fine dining since 1880. There’s no resting on laurels here, though: Paul Prudhomme, Emeril Lagasse, Jaime Shannon and now Tory McPhail have nurtured the Creole menu while making their own marks. The iconic Victorian mansion is the perfect setting for an intimate meal, large celebration or relaxed 25-cent martini lunch."

"R'evolution is a white tablecloth spot, albeit with bayou flair. Not only does Chef (and native son) John Folse cook up flawless takes on low-country classics like jambalaya; he also takes oft-overlooked ingredients (what he refers to as the "swamp floor pantry") like alligator, frog, and sassafras, and elevates them with technical precision. Death By Gumbo sees silk-smooth broth poured over a lightly-roasted quail."

Top 10 New Orleans brunch spots to visit before you die
"634 Louisa St. This Bywater restaurant is one of the hottest brunch tickets in town. You’ll need to book a few weeks out for the Sunday brunch, and my wife and her friends had to book over two months out for the weekly Saturday drag brunch. The Country Club is not a member’s only country club in the traditional sense, but there is a pool, a poolside bar, and an outdoor kitchen that requires a one-day rate or an annual membership."

"Dining poolside feels like being on vacation and that’s exactly the vibe radiating from the Country Club in Bywater every day of the week. Enjoy chef Chris Barbato’s global menu - don’t miss the silky sweet corn and blue crab bisque and the panko-crusted fried cauliflower swabbed with an Asian sweet and savory sauce. Tables are social distanced so you and your honey can whisper sweet nothings and really get away with it."

Its founding chef, Susan Spicer, has a steadfast palate that merges what appear to be the unlikeliest influences across not just an entire menu but even in one dish.
