Casamento's Restaurant

The 38 Best Restaurants in New Orleans | Eater New Orleans

"This old-school Magazine Street seafood joint is a time machine, a way to experience New Orleans from a prior era (down to the standup oyster bar, green-and-white-tiled floor, and cash-only payment). Casamento’s oyster shuckers have been a constant at the standup bar since 1919 when the family-owned classic opened. Try the raw and chargrilled oysters; an oyster loaf (like a fried oyster po’ boy, but on toasted, thick, white sandwich bread); and the gumbo filled with tomatoes and okra. The restaurant closes during the summer months as tradition dictates." - Beth D’Addono
