Pork-centric Southern eats with Cajun flair, known for oysters
"Cochon, a casual Warehouse District restaurant with its exposed brick and picnic-like chairs, welcomes groups up to 18 in size. They also have a “Feed Me” menu, which means a ton of dishes from the cross-section of south Louisiana comfort cooking straight from the bayou. A meal might include bites of fried alligator or boudin, or rich, tender rabbit and dumplings. Oh, and yes, you can add a whole roasted suckling pig to any order for a large group for a guaranteed showstopper." - chelsea brasted

"There are certain things you have to do at least once in New Orleans, like hear a brass band, walk (quickly) down Bourbon Street, and get at least one to-go beer or cocktail. Eating the wood-fired oysters with chili garlic butter at Cochon is also on that list. This spot in the Warehouse District opened more than a decade ago and serves great modern Cajun food, like fried boudin and catfish courtbouillon. But really, it’s all about the oysters. Sure, you can add more small plates like fried alligator or oyster and bacon pie, but a better option is to just get more oysters." - megan braden perry, zella palmer, team infatuation
"Local swine is only the beginning at this James Beard award-winning Southern meets Cajun eatery from chefs Donal Link and Stephen Stryjewski. Cochon also happens to have one of the best chargrilled oysters in town, in this case, enhanced with a divine chile-garlic butter that lets the flavors of the bivalve sing." - Beth D’Addono
"Donald Link is a visionary and works with partners who are the same. Stephen Stryjewski, chef and partner of Cochon, Cochon Butcher and Pêche Seafood Grill, earned Best Chef, South at the 2011 James Beard Foundation Awards. Attracting and retaining partners and team members who strive for excellence is a Link/Stryjewski hallmark, and it all comes together on Cochon’s menu of fried alligator, oyster and bacon sandwiches, and Louisiana cochon served with braised green beans." - Beth D'Addono
