"Sylvain, a beacon of good taste and hospitality in the French Quarter for 14 years, offers a special Creole-roasted turkey plate with sides like Coca-Cola braised greens and turkey neckgravy, for a bargain $32. A limited version of the regular menu is also available. Self described as “an unruly Southern bistro for locals,” one popular section of the menu is the champagne & fries category. Celebrate with fresh fries and French Gonet-Medeville ($145), Amrita, an Oregon Cuvee ($60) or the house favorite — a six pack of Miller High Life ponies ($25). Give thanks." - Beth D'Addono
"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
"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." - Clair Lorell, Eater Staff
"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." - zella palmer, carlo mantuano, megan braden perry
"This French Quarter bistro set in a carriage house built in the late 1700s is always a pleasure, whether the famous burger and fried chicken sandwich are for dinner or something loftier, like the elegant pan-seared gulf fish with hazelnut Romesco. Enjoy Sylvain’s cozy dining room or the back courtyard and settle in. Service is meant to relax and welcome, there’s no rush." - Beth D'Addono, Clair Lorell
