"You can reserve up to 30 days in advance for a table at N7, a hidden gem of a French restaurant in the Upper 9th Ward. What awaits at this unassuming bistro tucked in a former tire shop behind a wooden fence just off of St. Claude Avenue is a gorgeous, candlelit courtyard, French pop music, bistro fare like steak au poivre and mussels along with mostly imported seafood in a can (think smoked sardines and spiced calamari). The wine list is excellent, to boot." - Beth D'Addono, Clair Lorell
