These Oysters Wear One of New Orleans’ Richest Toppings

Oysters Rockefeller transforms fresh oysters into a hot, deeply savory appetizer beneath a rich green topping of herbs, butter, and other flavorful ingredients. The oysters remain tender and briny while the topping bakes into a fragrant layer with browned edges. Every shell delivers creamy richness, herbaceous flavor, and ocean salinity in one compact serving. The dish looks sophisticated because the shells provide their own natural presentation, arranged across a tray and baked until bubbling. Created in New Orleans and named for extraordinary richness, Oysters Rockefeller still lives up to that reputation whenever the first shell reaches the table.

4 New Orleans Kitchens Cooking Southern Comfort Food Without Animals

Vegan cooking in New Orleans has a particular problem to solve. The canon here runs on pork fat, seafood, and roux, and a plant-based kitchen that ignores that is just a salad bar with a local address. These four do not ignore it. 1.

The Cocktail Hour Opens in New Orleans, Reinventing the Guest Shift

The guest shift has had the same tired script for years: a celebrated bar packs up its greatest hits, flies across the world, pours them for a night or two, and goes home. It's a nice marketing moment. It is almost never a creative one. The Cocktail Hour wants to...

One of New Orleans’ best restaurants deserves Michelin recognition. Here’s why I love it.

The menu? Unique. The atmosphere? Spectacular. The service? Fire. The FOOD? Absolutely delicious. I’m talking about Paladar 511, a local hotspot in the Marigny that is one of my favorite restaurants in New Orleans, and I believe it needs more recognition from The Michelin Guide and James Beard Foundation.

This Enormous Louisiana Market Spans Six Blocks And Welcomes Shoppers All Year

Six full city blocks. That’s how much ground one Louisiana market covers, and it opens its doors every single day of the year, holidays included. The story behind it reaches back further than the city itself. Native Americans traded goods on this riverside spot long before European settlers arrived. I can’t imagine a better place to shop with that much history under your feet.

This Louisiana Italian Bakery Has Been Filling Handmade Cannoli With Fresh Ricotta For Generations

The cannoli here don’t get filled until you order them. That one rule keeps every homemade shell crisp, and I think it says everything about this place. The filling is a sweet ricotta cream, usually half vanilla and half chocolate. Then the ends get dipped in crushed pistachios. A dusting of powdered sugar and cinnamon finishes the job.

This Louisiana Thanksgiving Buffet Piles On Prime Rib, Roasted Turkey, And Southern Holiday Favorites

Sweet potato brûlée topped with brûléed homemade marshmallow fluff sits on a Thanksgiving buffet in Louisiana. That alone got my attention. Then I saw the oyster dressing. The same spread carries slow-roasted prime rib, roasted turkey, and a gumbo made with alligator sausage. There’s also a whole seafood display with Gulf oysters and marinated crab claws. I can’t imagine a better excuse to loosen a belt notch.

Holywater is a new oyster bar and restaurant in the French Quarter

The new French Quarter oyster bar and restaurant Holywater is such a good fit for the neighborhood that it’s no surprise the owners have New Orleans in their DNA. Alec and Miles Pincus grew up in the Quarter before their family moved to Lakeview. Their dad managed the Royal Orleans and Monteleone hotels while they were growing up, and their mom started New Orleans Famous Praline Co. They founded their restaurant company Crew in New York, and now they’ve brought it back to New Orleans.
