The 38 Best Restaurants in New Orleans | Eater New Orleans

"Bacchanal, a Bywater wine shop known for its amazing courtyard and live music, offers a seasonal menu of small plates like bacon wrapped dates and a terrific cheese plate — pick the cheeses and meats in the shop out front and they arrive with stellar accoutrements. There are substantial bites too, including a whole fish and grilled pork chop. There’s also a cocktail bar that offers indoor seating for when the backyard is simply too packed. Bacchanal matured into a hot spot following Hurricane Katrina, and despite its current must-do status with tourists, remains an important part of the neighborhood." - Beth D’Addono
