The 25 Best Restaurants In New Orleans - New Orleans - The Infatuation

"Brennan’s is the fine dining standard in New Orleans. It’s the type of restaurant where you’ll find yourself checking your posture, because you’d hate to slouch, and saying “powder room” instead of bathroom. Servers put on shows when doing tableside bananas foster (a dish that Brennan’s actually invented), and are somehow still able to answer any questions you have seamlessly. The menu changes seasonally, and all of it’s excellent—highlights are the turtle soup, soft-shell crab, and a lobster omelet. They also pour great cocktails, including a perfect Sazerac. Get access to exclusive reservations at this spot with Chase Sapphire Reserve. New cardmembers get $300 in annual dining statement credits." - chelsea brasted, zella palmer, carlo mantuano, megan braden perry
