The 26 Best Restaurants in New Orleans

"You might think a steakhouse just off one of the city’s most tourist-heavy areas would be a predictable affair, but Doris Metropolitan is not. The menu confidently reflects the global outlook of the owners, and they put their beef front and center in a series of glass dry-aging cabinets. There are nine variations of steak, and they are arguably the best in the city.  Just don’t come here without ordering the Beetroot Supreme, a glorious creation with a whole beet stuffed with mascarpone-ricotta and some kind of obviously magic ingredient they don’t list on the menu. It’s one of the most memorable dishes in New Orleans. Overall, fans of high-end steaks will not be disappointed, nor will oenophiles, cocktail enthusiasts, or indeed anyone that wants a genuinely memorable eating experience." - Paul Oswell
