"Chef Tiffany Thomas presides over this sprightly New Orleans mini-chain with locations on Vet, in Elmwood and as a longtime, full-service restaurant on Metairie Road. Here, diners choose from an extensive list of starters and specialties like stuffed kibbeh and drunken haloumi, in addition to an array of Mediterranean Byblos offers tender lamb chops, grilled salmon, and Mediterranean pasta with shrimp and veggies." - Beth D'Addono
