The Best Restaurants in New Orleans’s French Quarter | Eater New Orleans

"Since opening in late 2022, chef Tom Branighan and sommelier Molly Wismeier’s whimsical Parisian brasserie has quickly become one of New Orleans’s most exciting restaurants. Despite its humble, intimate corner space, it’s a fine-dining and wine heavyweight, informed by both Branighan and Wismeier’s extensive experience around the country and in New Orleans. Among the many elegant dishes, highlights include risotto with sauce Périgourdine, fennel sausage, and beet shoots; an escargot tartlet with suet and romesco; a salmon mi-cuit with buttermilk dill cream and carraway; and poisson a la Florentine with caviar beurre blanc and a parmesan wreath." - Clair Lorell
