Tips from the community

Chargrilled Oysters: Chargrilled oysters were invented at this establishment in 1993. Although one of the most recent New Orleans dishes to reach icon status, these oysters pack a significant punch. Fresh oysters are grilled to reach a smokey taste with touches of garlic butter and fresh herbs. There are a few Dragos locations, but the one in Metairie is the original and does it best.

    New Oreans is a city brimming with exciting nightlife, arts, culture, and of course - food. No trip would be complete without sampling a bite of Jambalaya or some classic gumbo. The Big Easy is a gastronomic paradise featuring cuisines from all over the world. Some dishes have served the test of time and still appear on restaurant menus and in family kitchens from the banks of the Mississippi to Lake Pontchartrain. I’ve lived in New Orleans for two years now and with the help of local friends curated a list of some of the best restaurants to try the city’s most iconic dishes.
