Top Best Seafood Restaurants in Destrehan

"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!)"

"The Garden District mansion that houses the world-famous Commander’s Palace is an odd-looking, bright aqua affair; some jokingly call the style of architecture "Victorian Cuckoo." Inside, the style bends a knee to more traditional fine dining, with a genteel, buttoned-down clientele and an enforced dress code. Staples here include the turtle soup, gumbo du jour, and pecan-crusted gulf fish."

"1403 Washington Ave., (504) 899-8221; www.commanderspalace.com. Duck fat-seared bluefin tuna is served with Meyer lemon grilled greens and sweet potato boulangere with miso-lemon grass veal bone jus and foie gras ganache. Reservations recommended."

"While most New Orleans seafood restaurants take a hyper-local approach to fill in the catch of the day, chef-owner Tenney Flynn at GW Fin casts a global net. The French Quarter restaurant impresses with quality and variety, including fish caught in waters around the world as well as right here in the Gulf. Chef de cuisine Michael Nelson's menu changes daily, depending on what's fresh and seasonal, but you might feast on King crab from Alaska, sea scallop crudo with local caviar and Scottish salmon with jalapeno glaze."

"This 20-year-old success story is an elegant, old-fashioned dining room with wooden posts and beams – reminiscent of a ship’s masts. It has lashings of sea-blue and metallic, marine-inspired art. The menu is a mix of trad southern hospitality (lobster bisque, red snapper with okra) and international (lionfish ceviche, tuna tacos); co-founder chef Tenney Finn is so knowledgeable about the fruits of the sea that he’s known as the fishmonger of the South."

"If you enjoy seafood dishes with a bit of international flair, then GW Fins is a good option. On the menu, you will find dishes featuring seafood from everywhere from the Gulf to New Zealand. The restaurant is co-owned by Gary Wollerman and Chef Tenney Flynn."

"Acme Oyster House has been around since 1910 and since then, has been a staple in the upper French Quarter. If you’re into oysters, this is the place to go to get them fresh and chargrilled."

"Pêche Seafood Grill, located in the Warehouse District, is a coastal seafood restaurant that offers an extraordinary approach to Old World cooking styles in a modernized environment.

"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"

"Casamento’s oyster-shuckers have been holding court on Magazine Street since 1919, when this family-owned oyster restaurant opened with its walls covered crown to toe in cream and green square tile (and still are). The beauty of this place is that it doesn’t really change because it doesn’t need to. Per tradition, the restaurant closes during the summer as it has since it was difficult to keep oysters cold during hot months."

"Casamento’s is a classic neighborhood oyster bar that has been building a stellar reputation in New Orleans since 1919. Their advertising is by word-of-mouth, and they’re almost always packed. The local faithful and a long list of celebrities, from Peyton Manning to Robert Duvall, love this place."
