The Best French Restaurants in New Orleans | Eater New Orleans

"Named for the highway that carries Parisians south for summer holidays, N7 used to be a tire shop. When the restaurant opened stealthily in 2015, it didn’t have a phone or any way to make reservations. The French-ish place was so far under the radar, it was hard to find the entrance. Things have changed some — still no phone, but you can reserve on Resy. And owners, filmmaker Aaron Walker and chef Yuki Yamaguchi, just opened a sister restaurant in Kyoto. The menu ranges from escargot and frogs legs to bouillabaisse and housemade charcuterie. Expect a gorgeous, candlelit courtyard, cool French pop music, and bistro fare shot through with Japanese sensibility. Guests must be 18 and over to dine." - Beth D’Addono
