In Louisiana, food comes first in so many ways. We have some of the most amazing and delicious foods in the entire country, and we’re so proud of it. I think that pride shines through most brightly at our hallowed restaurants. From the historic restaurants in the French Quarter of New Orleans to the roadside diners that welcome back regulars night after night, there are some truly spectacular places to grab a meal in this state. Here are the ones we believe to be the absolute best.
I doubt any other restaurant in Louisiana can claim that there are actual people who are hired by Galatoire’s diners to stand in line outside the door of the restaurant to ensure that they get a seat at the table on the restaurant’s most popular days.
John Besh is one of the most lauded chefs in Louisiana and his farm to table restaurant on the northshore of Lake Pontchartrain delivers his wonderful cuisine in spades.
Established in 1840, Antoine’s is the oldest family run restaurant in the entire country—some even say the concept of the modern restaurant was invented here. It oozes history, charm, and maintains consistently delicious food. It's definitely worth a visit.
Commander’s Palace is still one of the most iconic restaurants in New Orleans, serving as a model for all other restaurants in terms of their commitment to service and dedication to creating the most unique and delicious dinners in the state.
Another restaurant that feels like you are walking back in time, Mosca’s family style Italian-Creole favorites deliver again and again. The whole experience is not to be missed.
A completely unassuming take-out place that has boudin balls that will just blow you away.
