"Bayona is a spot where you can get Creole dishes and linger with a couple of friends for a while and not feel like you’re part of a large march of tourists (unlike other classic spots like Galatoire's, which turn tables much faster). The courtyard, filled with plants and more cobblestones than a Roman sidestreet, is where you want to be. It feels like your own secret little garden where you can eat duck liver pate, braised rabbit, and fennel and pepper-crusted lamb loin that’s always cooked perfectly." - chelsea brasted, zella palmer, carlo mantuano, megan braden perry
