"A temple of modern French Creole cuisine since 1982, Gautreau’s earned then-executive chef Sue Zemanick a Best Chef, South award in 2014. Zemanick went on to open her own place, Zasu, where she continues to impress. Chef Rich Mistry, last of Commander’s Palace, and his partner, GM and chef Katie Adams took over the restaurant’s operation last November with the same commitment to excellence in place. Expect French fare with a New Orleanian bend, like foie gras with red currants and duck confit." - Beth D'Addono
