Elevated gastropub cuisine, cocktails, and courtyard seating
"Sylvain’s sophisticated American bistro menu always delivers above expectations, including an outstanding Bolognese with housemade pappardelle and an outside-the-box take on a Caesar made with cauliflower. So why is the burger such a popular order? It’s simple, classic Angus beef, dressed with sharp cheddar and pickles. Bacon and a fried egg are add-ons, but really, it’s great the way it is. Best for: Hidden gem courtyard dining" - Beth D’Addono
"Grab a seat on the intimate back patio at Sylvain and prepare to be pleased. While the gastropub cuisine is stellar, the impeccable cocktails, good wine list, and candlelit outdoor space make it destination-worthy." - Missy Frederick
"This charming and romantic spot in the French Quarter is known for its exceptional ambiance and satisfying, unexpected food, from a top-notch fried chicken sandwich and a Champagne and fries special to refined versions of Southern classics with an Italian influence. Sylvain’s beauty lies in the unpredictable and ever-changing twists weaved throughout the menu — and it’s all good." - Clair Lorell
"Sylvain is a semi-upscale neighborhood spot that you’ll wish was around the corner from where you get your mail delivered. Located just off Jackson Square, this place serves some of our favorite all-purpose dishes, like cast-iron cornbread and a truly great fried chicken sandwich. Besides food, Sylvain is equally perfect for a few cocktails on their back patio, in case you’ve already eaten for the fourth time that day and need a break before dinner." - megan braden perry, zella palmer
"Dark, moody, and intimate are some spot-on descriptions of Sylvain, the Quarter’s longtime haven for romance and elevated pub food. The courtyard is unbeatable when it comes to atmosphere, but the small, dimly lit dining room is almost equally elegant, with glittering candlelight and dark wood throughout. Snack on the fries and champagne combo and share the refined pappardelle bolognese." - Clair Lorell
