The Best Restaurants Near the New Orleans Convention Center in the Warehouse District | Eater New Orleans

"Plates is the Warehouse District’s newest group dining destination, a tapas-style stunner wholely inspired by the social nature of Spanish dining and incorporating the flavors of New Orleans (chef Farrell Harrison is Chalmette-born). Sample dishes like garlic shrimp, bruleed manchego, serrano-wrapped tuna, and patatas bravas, all with obvious Spanish influences, but don’t miss the shrimp croquettes or the charred okra, both of which lean more local. Happy hour is especially good, served at the bar daily." - Beth D’Addono
