Coming Up: Restaurant Week
Enjoy some of New Orleans’ best food across the city during Restaurant Week!
Various restaurants will be offering prix-fixe menus featuring their best dishes so get lunch for less than $20 and dinner for less than $40, while tasting some things you might never have thought to order. Well over 100 restaurants participate, so you’ll have your choice of cuisine!
One of our favorite high-end Cajun restaurants, Arnaud’s has a delicious menu that they will be offering – start with artichoke soup or shrimp risotto, then enjoy mussels in marinara. Finish off with banoffee pie, where the chef has perfectly melded the summery bananas with rich toffee. Definitely add on the wine pairing option – it really makes the experience even better!
At Ralph’s On The Park, enjoy a delicious lunch featuring a salad with apples and bacon and a main course of barbecue shrimp. While dessert is only included with the dinner menu, it’s a chocolate blueberry cake – well worth adding on to your bill!
Patois will be offering a decadent menu, featuring their beet bruschetta, which is a great use of a vegetable people forget about, and their chili roasted pork tenderloin, which is both spicy and succulent. It comes with elote salad, a delicious take on the original Mexican street food that elevates it for a lovely evening out.
Brigtsen’s will be tempting your tastebuds with their shrimp rice fritters, followed by scallops in a red peppercorn sauce. Finish dinner with their pecan pie, topped with a rich and sweet caramel sauce, and you’ll know why New Orleans is beloved by foodies everywhere.
