Classic upscale New Orleans dishes by Emeril Lagasse
"Chef Emeril Lagasse has been a larger-than-life New Orleans presence since 1982, when he became chef of the landmark Commander’s Palace at the age of 23. His flagship restaurant, Emeril’s, offers an exemplary taste of his legacy, now with son E.J. at the helm. This is fine dining infused with a Southern sensibility and warm, approachable touches — the smoked salmon cheesecake, lobster gumbo, and banana cream pie are a few examples. The six-course tasting menu is $225; other ways to dine include a Friday lunch tasting menu for $150 and the separate wine bar, which offers a chance to try a menu of small plates a la carte. With Michelin bringing its star treatment to town, Emeril’s is a clear front runner." - Beth D’Addono
"An established fine-dining destination that pairs elevated tasting menus with playful local touches, such as a rolling cart of snoballs served with locally beloved ice flavors to cap the meal." - Regan Stephens
"The original Emeril Lagasse flagship that remains a force in New Orleans dining, now led by his son E.J., offering an elevated tasting menu with refined takes on classics like oyster stew and quail Milton. A recent renovation put the kitchen on full display and the dining room still revels in generous, buttery preparations and the theatricality the restaurant is known for." - Becky Duffett
"The celebrity father-and-son duo were announced as headlining talent for the Synergy Series in the Twin Cities; they 'made headlines in recent years when E.J. took over his dad’s iconic namesake restaurant in 2023, cementing a culinary family dynasty.'" - Serena Maria Daniels
"Emeril Lagasse’s flagship New Orleans restaurant has long been a favorite destination for celebratory blowouts; a recent revamp shifted the operation to a splurge-worthy tasting menu-only model, including dishes like smoked salmon cheesecake, oyster stew, and banana cream pie, all presented with an infusion of luxury." - Clair Lorell
