Top Best American Restaurants in Des Allemands

"If you’re off to a slower start or you’re in New Orleans for the weekend, Brunch at Commander’s Palace is unmissable. Located in the Garden District among the houses and mansions of the first Americans who settled the city in the early 19th century, the upper floors of the restaurant offers some clues to its life before it was a world-famous, James Beard award-winning eatery. (Reservations highly recommended!)"

"Commander’s Palace is a dapper host who wows with white-linen dining rooms, decadent dishes and attentive Southern hospitality. The nouveau Creole menu shifts, running from crispy oysters with brie-cauliflower... Louisianan in Mid-City, Bayou St John & City Park"

"The fried chicken from Willie Mae’s Scotch House has been recognized as ‘America’s Best Fried Chicken’ by the Travel Channel and also acknowledged as being some of the best fried chicken in the country by the Food Network. You can’t argue with recommendations like that!. Pop into this classic southern restaurant and find out for yourself why the food here is so award winning."

"Willie Mae’s Restaurant/Scotch House — St. Ann Street Incredibly famous (and Food Network featured) Willie Mae’s sits just a few minutes by Uber outside of the French Quarter, and is well-regarded as the place to get fried chicken in the Big Easy."

"If you love donuts you need to stop in at District Donuts Sliders Brew. Not only do they have a mouthwatering creative combination of donut flavors like carrot cake or pumpkin cheesecake (filled with pumpkin cheesecake and topped with ginger beer glazeand candied pepita’s) but all of their donuts are made from scratch using natural ingredients. They offer six rotating donuts every week with over one hundred options!"

"Ginger Mint Julep Donut from District Donuts Stroll down the lower Garden District part of Magazine Street for great shops and more restaurants.

"Just off Jackson Square in the always-crowded French Quarter, this tucked-away gastropub manages to slip under the tourist radar thanks to a nearly hidden entrance. Stroll down a narrow alleyway to find your way inside, then bask in flattering candlelight as you fill up on hearty dishes such as Buffalo-style fried veal sweetbreads, tender braised beef cheeks and a crispy pork Milanese served over creamy white beans. End the night on a sweet note with the most romantic soda float you’ve ever had, made with local Abita root beer, caramel ice cream and a ginger crisp."

"Grab a seat on the intimate back patio at Sylvain and prepare to be dazzled. The elevated gastropub cuisine is stellar, from the famous fried chicken sandwich, grilled gulf shrimp, and pappardelle bolognese. Add in the perfect cocktails and candlelit outdoor space, and you won’t want to leave."

"Good service and friendly waiter, but the food really killed it for me. I ordered the rice and the chicken sandwich, the rice is much too salty but had g..."

"Set in a quaint corner bungalow on Dauphine Street, Horn's Eatery and Catering is a friendly neighborhood café with lovely sidewalk seating, and they serve hearty Southern fare in a warm and welcoming atmosphere. Packed with regulars and newcomers alike, the restaurant is a bustling breakfast spot with a menu of classic and traditional food such as fluffy three-egg omelets with different fillings, egg scrambles, grits and étouffée, carrot waffles, and waffle couchons. Signature dishes include the Jewish Coonass with two potato latkes, two eggs, and freshly grilled spinach topped with crawfish étouffée and a homemade biscuit, and the Havana Omelet with seasoned black beans, salsa, and cheddar cheese."

"Greasy spoon meets wood panelling at the Marigny's 24 hour breakfast and fried foods mecca founded in 1981 and seemingly (perfectly) never updated, except for new table cloths. Not the cheapest on the list, but affordable still. The biscuits and gravy will only set you back $3.95, but most dishes you're aiming toward $10, give or take."

"The two-story 1800s Victorian mansion that is home to Cavan on Magazine Street is a go-to spot for enjoying coastal and Southern fare on the front patio. As fancy as the interiors and the menu are, the vibe here is uniquely laid-back. Specialty cocktails are not to be missed, with highlights including the Tea Dye For (made with vodka, lemon, herbal liqueur, chamomile and butterfly pea tea syrup) and the Memory’s Mistress (made with gin, rosemary, lime, sherry and soda)."

"Housed inside an old New Orleans mansion on Magazine Street, Cavan brings a modern menu into the historical venue. The décor, as well as the patrons, are chic, the food is contemporary and incorporates global flavors, and the cocktails are strong and crafty. It’s definitely a place that comes to mind for date-night or the start to a girls’ night out; however, the younger patrons get just as spoiled as their cool, more grown-up guests."

"If you’ve ever wanted to step foot into one of those gorgeous New Orleans Victorian mansions, this is your chance. Cavan is spread across a couple of stories of a grand old home along the famed Magazine Street corridor. Outside, you’ll find seating under umbrella-covered tables or on the big front porch."

"Banh Mi Boys has been serving Banh Mi sandwiches next to a suburban gas station since it opened in 2015. With a long history of immigrants, New Orleans food combines elements of French and Italian cuisines in addition to its distinctive Cajun and Creole flavors. In recent years, NOLA’s food set has expanded to include Asian flavors and none more so than the flavors of Vietnamese cuisine."

"5001 Airline Drive, Suite B, Metairie, (504) 510-5360; www.bmbmetairie.com. A grilled lemon-grass pork banh mi includes pickled carrots, radish, cucumber, jalapenos, cilantro and house spread."

"4848 Veterans Memorial Blvd., Suite B, Metairie, (504) 780-9964; www.bonefishgrill.com. Wood-grilled cobia is served with a choice of sauces such as lemon butter, mango salsa or Oscar style with crabmeat and asparagus. Reservations accepted."

"Pan American Life Center, 601 Poydras St., Suite B, (504) 608-3474; www.servingsushi.com/new_orleans. Asian chicken salad combines citrus-marinated chicken breast, arugula, spinach, spring greens, tomato, cucumber, carrot, avocado, fried ramen noodles, roasted peanuts, radish, orange supremes, red onion, enoki mushrooms and yuzu cilantro vinaigrette."

"And then there's Tsunami Sushi, a Central Business District favorite with four stars out of 232 reviews. Stop by 601 Poydras St., Suite B to hit up the sushi bar, cocktail bar and Asian fusion spot next time you're in the mood. “I love grocery shopping,” said no one, ever."

"3519 Severn Ave., Metairie, (504) 888-2010; www.koshercajun.com. The J&N sandwich features corned beef, pastrami, coleslaw, horseradish and mustard on rye bread."

"LemonShark Poke, a sushi bar and Hawaiian spot that offers poke and more in the Garden District, is another much-loved go-to, with 4.5 stars out of 83 Yelp reviews. Head over to 2901 Magazine St. to see for yourself. This story was created automatically using local business data, then reviewed and augmented by an editor."

"After voodoo (or vodou) came to New Orleans in the 1700s—first via West African slaves, then with Haitians after the Haitian Revolution—it entwined with the city’s identity. Which is why, since the 1970s, a French Quarter visit has been deemed incomplete without a stop at the tiny Historic Voodoo Museum. If it’s lore you seek, you’ll find it here."

"The Contemporary Arts Center, housed in a large redbrick building that stands out in the relatively muted Central Business District, is one of the city’s most prestigious spaces for the full gamut of contemporary arts, including painting, film, theater, and music. Exhibits, which rotate every four to eight weeks, can include any visual art form, from photography to sculpture and painting. The featured works are well-curated—sometimes around themes, sometimes around individual contemporary artists."

"The CAC (900 Camp Street; 504-528-3805) has been in the heart of the Warehouse District since 1976. It is the place to find new and exciting expression in the medium of painting, theater, music, performance art, dance, photography, video, sculpture and more in New Orleans. Love is in the air at the NOMA Sculpture Garden in City Park."
