5 restaurants pushing the envelope in New Orleans
In a city known for dazzling cuisine and warm hospitality, setting an exceptional table is a given. What makes a Crescent City restaurant truly cutting-edge, though, is that extra something: a firm connection to its surroundings, a nose for innovation, or the ability to magnify a global trend.
In the French Quarter, a chef on a mission to reduce food waste butchers whole fish in-house. A creative sommelier takes diners on a one-of-a-kind global wine tour at a chic New American spot in the Central Business District.
These restaurants elevate the dining experience by bringing extra-special traits to the plate and the surroundings. Read on for a list of five especially innovative New Orleans spots to check out right now.
