Stanton's Favorite Restaurants in New Orleans 

• Restaurant August.   One of our favorite fine dining establishments.  John Besh’s flagship restaurant.

 

• Dante’s. It’s far uptown, not far from the Maple Leaf.  Great food and outdoor dining.

 

• Tommy’s Cuisine.

 

• Gautraud’s

 

• Bayonna.  Susan’s Spicer’s flagship.

 

• Domenica is a newer John Besh spot.  Kind of a Mario Batali, Otto vibe...  house cured meats...

 

• Cochon is newer and is really good.  It's mostly pork, all kinds of different ways.  I call it the baskin robbin's of pork... 31 flavors of pig :)  but it's killer!

 

• Jaques-imo's (next to the maple leaf) is not as good as it used to be. if you're going to go to or play the leaf it's ok,  but not really worth a special trip anymore...

 

• Tommy’s Cuisine in the warehouse district is fun

 

• Gautraud’s uptown is great

 

• Bayonna.  Susan’s Spicer’s flagship is always good

 

• A newer one is Sylvain...  great courtyard dining in the French Quarter

 

• Another newer spot that is getting a lot of attention is Restaurant R'Evolution
