The Best Restaurants Near New Orleans’s Superdome | Eater New Orleans

"The newest Emeril Lagasse restaurant is also his first Portuguese restaurant, making it a particularly special addition to the chef’s much-loved portfolio. Set in a sprawling, gorgeous downtown space, 34 serves a mix of modern Portuguese tapas and the comfort food Lagasse was raised on: small plates of bacalhau à brás (salt cod with potatoes and eggs) and sardine toast; entrees of cataplana (fish stew) and beef espetada; and large, shareable rice dishes made with lobster, duck, rabbit, and more. Late-night, hospitality industry-friendly hours; a jamón bar; a Portuguese-dominated wine list; and cocktails celebrating Spanish aperitivo culture make this one of the city’s most exciting new restaurants." - Beth D’Addono
