Top Best French Restaurants in Kenner

"New Orleanians are not only loyal to this traditional bastion of Creole dining, they're loyal to their waiter, and if they're old enough, to their waiter's son. Generations come and go, but Galatoire's, with its classic seafood-centric menu focused on in-season fish and shellfish treated to artful preparations like trout meuniere, shrimp remoulade and oysters Rockefeller. Not only can your order well known local fish like drum, redfish and pompano, you can also get the sweet goodness of sheepshead and lemon fish if the waters are right."

"The front of the house is as important as the back of the house at this historic restaurant. Locals know to ask for their waiter by name upon entering the family-run staple that has loon been known for lines down the street for Friday lunch. Should you be lucky enough to get a seat downstairs, don’t be surprised if you’ve shared a drink and a toast with everyone in the dining room before you leave."

"Friday lunchtime is the best time to visit this revered institution for its traditional Creole cuisine. That’s when local ladies in big hats and gloves and men wearing bowties (without irony) buy copious bottles... Top ChoiceAsian in Mid-City, Bayou St John & City Park"

"Chef Donald Link, whose restaurant holdings include Cochon, Cochon Butcher and Peche, conceives robust modern French fare on Saint Charles Avenue not far from Lafayette Square. In a setting that's casually elegant, chef de cuisine Rebecca Wilcomb heads a kitchen that delivers inspired small plates that deserve careful study - try the Louisiana shrimp with roasted chili grits, okra and mushrooms or any of the housemade pastas, a recent spaghetti with guanciale and fried-poached farm egg was especially memorable. Another winner, the roasted Kurobuta pork belly with black olives and arugula."

"Here are a few things N7, the hidden gem of a French restaurant in the upper 9th ward doesn't have: a phone, live music, creole cuisine and New Orleans-inspired decor. Now here's what you will get if you track down this unassuming bistro tucked behind a wooden fence just off of St. Claude Avenue: a gorgeous, candlelit courtyard complete with an old Citroen off to one side; cool retro meets French pop music; a menu that includes expected favorites like steak au poivre and mussels. There's a good rose by the glass, a nice wine list overall and a small bar at which to drink some."

"You’ll enter N7 through a small gate door that looks like you’re headed into someone’s home. Through that little door is a sprawling courtyard with an overhanging canopy of greenery, a vintage truck that’s the place’s signature detail and a restaurant that looks like it was once a home. In true New Orleans fashion, it’s not fancy — you’re sitting at picnic tables, after all — but it’s cozy, charming and a perfect perch for sipping on rosé and chatting with friends late into the night."

"Head brewer and co-owner Alex Peyroux’s comes from a long time Cajun-French family, and his fiancee and Miel co-owner Janice Montoya descends from Spanish colonies, so the name is both a nod to that cultural blending — as well as the fact that Alex’s beekeeping parents keep them loaded up with Louisiana honey. New Orleans’ 10th brewery will use honey as a fermentation sugar as well as the featured ingredient for several beers in the future."

"Very likely the last thing you were probably looking for in New Orleans, this iconic American-Chinese classic way up on Carrollton Avenue is a neighborhood essential, at it since forever and wholly uninterested in impressing outsiders, though if you can successfully tune into the vibe here—one of their oversized tiki cocktails might do the trick—this could just end up one of your favorite restaurants in the city. Once you try their gargantuan egg rolls, overstuffed with cabbage, housemade roast pork and whole shrimp, the rest pale in comparison. The ribs, covered in hoisin, are a sticky must."
