The 12 Best New Restaurants in New Orleans, March 2025
"New Orleans has joined the ranks of cities around the world boasting a location of Nobu, the 30-year-old chain that set the standard for an entire genre: upscale Japanese lounge. Located in the Caesars Casino downtown, the massive special occasion restaurant offers a chance to try chef Nobu Matsuhisa’s game-changing sashimi, nigiri, tempura, kushiyaki (grilled meat skewers), and sushi tacos. The vast menu also includes wagyu dumplings, crispy okra, lobster salad, gambas al ajillo, Australian lamb chops, and four dishes in particular that have become famed staples of Japanese fine-dining: miso black cod, yellowtail jalapeno sashimi, rock shrimp tempura, and spicy tuna crispy rice." - Clair Lorell
