"One of New Orleans’s most endearing restaurants, Café Reconcile doubles as a successful job-training program for teens and young adults. Led by hugely talented chef Martha Wiggins, the old-school New Orleans soul food, like seafood-stuffed peppers and fried catfish, stands on its own, served in a welcoming, art-adorned setting in the heart of Central City’s Oretha Castle Haley corridor." - Beth D’Addono
