Upscale New Orleans dishes by celebrity chef, tasting menus
"Led by Chef E.J. Lagasse in New Orleans, this restaurant earned Two MICHELIN Stars in 2025, underscoring its status as a major draw in the city’s newly recognized culinary scene." - Julia Eskins
"In New Orleans, I note that Emeril's has been awarded Two MICHELIN Stars under E.J. Lagasse, who—drawing inspiration from his father Emeril—was also named the 2025 MICHELIN Guide American South Young Chef Award winner; the coverage includes E.J. and Emeril Lagasse's reaction to this monumental MICHELIN Guide achievement." - The MICHELIN Guide
"I found a Two MICHELIN Star restaurant where Chef E.J. Lagasse—at just 22 years old, the youngest chef to earn that honor—now leads a kitchen that brings contemporary refinement and vibrant originality to a long-celebrated Creole tradition. BBQ shrimp tarts, deep-flavored gumbo and superb, golden-brown cornbread paired with French butter feel both familiar and new, with cooking that bursts with personality and never sacrifices flavor. The dining room is generously spaced with plush banquettes and direct, unobstructed views into a gleaming kitchen fronted by floor-to-ceiling glass, while a superb service team tends to every detail with warmth and generosity." - The MICHELIN Guide
"Under the oversight of the young E.J. Lagasse, I found a dining room that honors three decades of Creole tradition while pushing toward contemporary refinement and vibrant originality; the cooking bursts with personality without sacrificing flavor. Dishes like BBQ shrimp tarts, deep‑flavored gumbo and superb, golden‑brown cornbread paired with French butter feel at once familiar and new, and generously spaced tables and plush banquettes offer direct views into a gleaming kitchen fronted by floor‑to‑ceiling glass while a superb service team tends to every detail with warmth and generosity." - The MICHELIN Guide
"Set to walk away with the highest honor in the leaked South guide, awarded two Michelin stars — which Michelin defines as “Excellent cooking, worth a detour.”" - Henna Bakshi
