Best Fine Dining in Waggaman

"The turquoise and white awning is the first sign of good taste at this flagship of the Brennan family, housed in a gorgeous Victorian mansion in the Garden District since 1880. Sporting a decor that combines whimsy with elegance, Commanders is a dressy spot, no shorts or t-shirts and jackets are preferred - but not required - for gents at dinner. The kitchen, where Emeril Lagasse and Paul Prudhomme started and chef Meg Bickford now presides, delivers Haute Creole specialties including oysters with absinthe and skillet seared gulf fish."

"Address: 1403 Washington AvenueNew Orleans, LA 70130Phone: (504) 899-8221Website. World-class chefs like Emeril Lagasse and Paul Prudhomme have graced the kitchen of this landmark restaurant. In existence since 1893, Commander’s Palace features “haute Creole cuisine” and a “dirt to plate within 100 miles” policy that contributes to its legendary status as one of the city’s great dining establishments."

"Gumbo is a traditional Louisiana dish that has been around since the early 18th century. While there are many variations on the stew, one of the best restaurants offering the dish is at Galatoire’s Restaurant, a fine dining establishment in the French Quarter which was founded in 1905. The Gumbo here is so good it was awarded the ‘Best Gumbo in New Orleans’ by Southern Living."

"The most well known (and perhaps only) fine-dining establishment on Bourbon Street, Galatoire’s has been serving up unforgettable dining experiences for almost a hundred years. It’s a dinner-jacket required institution for the most discerning epicureans. Here, you get the true New Orleans experience, thanks to its menu that embraces the history of Creole and French cuisine."

"In 1905, founder Jean Galatoire brought French recipes and traditions to New Orleans with his restaurant. Galatoire’s has continued thriving with the help of his descendants. The original culinary customs have been preserved because the restaurant believes in consistency."

"Of the many historic, defining French Quarter restaurants, Arnaud’s is has a lot to offer: Its James Beard Award winning bar, the French 75, iconic dishes like the souffle potatoes with béarnaise sauce, and a dazzling setting that’s tough to beat, even in the Quarter. Also try the oysters Ohan, which are baked with eggplant and andouille, and be sure to end your meal with a fire show and order the cafe brulot."

"To last 100 years means embracing tradition and change, something the huge restaurant with its labyrinth of transcendent, turn-of-the-century dining rooms does well. This grande dame of French Quarter dining offers impeccable service — and Creole dishes are still on point. Plus, Arnaud’s is also home to the James Beard Award-winning French 75 Bar."

"Arnaud's boasts that it serves the “authentic New Orleans dining experience” to its patrons. And that commitment to hospitality and authenticity extends to its breakfast food, whic..."

"Donald Link’s seafood-focused restaurant features fresh, local seafood, much of it cooked on a wood-fired grill. Boisterous and always packed, Pêche is a great place for group dining. Small plates like smoked tuna dip and beer-battered fish sticks are shareable, as is the delicious whole grilled fish."

"There may be no more reliable, perfect place to eat seafood in New Orleans than Pêche. The sourcing comes from local waters — to the extent that we’ve heard that the restaurant has its own battery of fishermen in the Gulf of Mexico. Order raw oysters, yes."

"Coastal seafood dishes are prepared simply here, but unexpected flourishes – whether from salt, spices or magic – sear the deliciousness onto your taste buds. The vibe is convivial, with a happy crowd savoring... Top ChoiceCreole in Uptown & Riverbend"

"A relative newcomer to the Quarter, Restaurant R'evolution opened in 2012 and immediately garnered attention for the menu created by collaborating chefs John Folse and Rick Tramonto. Today, this elegant, seasonally sourced farm-to-table restaurant located on Bienville in the famed Royal Sonesta Hotel keeps bringing locals back for more and drawing tourists in, too. Classic Creole and Cajun dishes sparkle here, with death by gGumbo (roasted quail, andouille sausage, oysters) leading the pack."

"This is not your typical gumbo, which has a thick filé stock with seafood and or meat, and a Louisianian “Holy Trinity” of vegetables: bell peppers, celery, and onions. Rather, it’s a modern and elevated take on the traditional stew by chefs John Folse and Rick Tramonto. John Folse is an expert on Louisiana cuisine and the author of several books, most notably The Encyclopedia of Cajun & Creole Cuisineand The Evolution of Cajun & Creole Cuisine."

"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."

"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."

"Beat the Louisiana heat and lounge at one of New Orleans’ best kept secrets. During the daytime, if the temperature is warm and you are feeling up for a dip, The Country Club has a beautiful swimming pool bar. They also offer a delicious brunch!"

"When dining out with a family of people with different tastes, a steak house is never a bad option. Ruth’s Chris, nestled between Harrah’s Hotel and Fulton Street, offers outdoor seating right on the pedestrian walkway, which is lovely on a nice evening and perfect for the kids who might need to stretch their legs or stay occupied with some people-watching. Additionally, Fulton Street offers Christmas decorations, live music, and “snow” during the holidays."

"People might not think of cheap eats when they think of Ruth's Chris Steak House. However, when it comes to upscale dining in this town, Ruths Chris offers options that won't break..."

"Ruth's Chris Steak House originates in New York City, but their Big Easy satellite location is just as awesome — if not more so —than their Big Apple parent location."

"United Apparel Liquidators (U.A.L.) on Chartres is the local location of the original store founded in Hattiesburg, Mississippi back in 1980. Now in three states with multiple locations, including this one in the French Quarter U.A.L. is a great place to browse. The concept is simple: the store trades in overstock from designers, showrooms and retailers at deep discounts."
