"On Oak Street I found a restaurant serving bold, globally inspired flavors and artful cocktails in the former Mukbang space. It’s from Luis Nava (who opened La Tia Cantina in Metairie) in partnership with Leo Vasquez and Ulysses Campos. The raw bar mixes Mexican, Italian, and Japanese influences with dishes like octopus carpaccio, pineapple aguachile, and salmon tartare, while the rest of the menu features surprises such as brisket bao, crab arancini, bruschetta, birria-style lamb, and Cantonese fried rice. It’s open for dinner Monday through Saturday." - Clair Lorell
