Cochon Restaurant

CBD/Convention Center Restaurants

930 Tchoupitoulas St.
New Orleans, LA 70130
504-588-2123

Cochon is another product of Chef Donald Link - of Herbsaint fame - but this time he’s taking it even further South. The menu is a true taste of the Cajun cuisine that New Orleans chefs sometimes forget: Still spicy, but veering even more towards the unique and exotic. Fried alligator, a grilled beet and pickled pork tongue salad and head cheese all make appearances. Link and co-owner Chef Stephen Stryjewski make sausages and cured meats in house, and the kitchen features a wood-burning oven to impart smoky flavor to local roasted oysters and smoked brisket. Moonshines and Southern cocktails are available at the bar. The desserts, like pineapple upside-down cake and red velvet cake, must not be missed. Casual in the daytime, a bit chicer at night. Closed Sundays.

Emeril's

CBD/Convention Center Restaurants

800 Tchoupitoulas St.
New Orleans, LA 70130
504-528-9393

Emeril Lagasse is probably the most famous New Orleans chef to people from outside of the city, thanks to Food Network and his signature expressions. But all that “Bam!” is not for nothin’. Emeril’s on Tchoupitoulas is the flagship of his three restaurants in the New Orleans area, and the menu is what he does best. He calls it “New” New Orleans food, and everything is familiar, but accompanied by a twist. The “lamburger” comes with chickpea fries; his variation on the B.L.T. includes fried green tomatoes and boiled Gulf shrimp. The menu changes constantly based on the season, but one thing is constant here: the New Orleans Barbeque Shrimp. Don’t be scared to use your hands! Dress is business casual.

Ugly Dog Saloon

CBD/Convention Center Restaurants

401 Andrew Higgins Blvd.
New Orleans, LA 70130
504-569-8459

When you walk into the Ugly Dog, you’ll know that this is a no-frills kind of place. Although it’s filled with tables, there are no waiters, and if you miss the paper sign taped to the door telling you to order at the bar, you’ll be sitting forlornly for quite a while before anyone tells you to do otherwise. Yup, the Ugly Dog Saloon is a serious establishment, if serious means the BBQ’s been smoked for upwards of half a day. You can get your choice of pork, brisket, ribs, chicken and sausage in quarter-or-half-pound portions with some tasty sides to boot. They also have BBQ’s best friend, Barq’s in glass bottles, and serve red beans and rice on Mondays, just like they should.

Rock-n-Sake

CBD/Convention Center Restaurants

823 Fulton St.
New Orleans, LA 70130
504-581-7253

Named for the facts that they play their music loud and they offer a ton of traditional Japanese beverages, Rock-n-Sake is not really the place to go for a quiet, romantic dinner. It is, however, the place to go for great sushi, good service and a lot of fun. They have a sushi menu of interestingly-named rolls, like the Hawaii 5-0, Rebel Rice Paper and the Dream, as well as a menu chock-full of well-cooked things (for non-sushi fans). It even goes beyond the usual chicken teriyaki with things like Spicy Gyoza Soup and Beef and Asparagus Maki. Of course, if you don’t feel like going out, the Rock-n-Sake University will come to you and teach you how to roll in the comfort of your own home. Open until midnight Fridays and Saturdays.

Lucy’s Retired Surfers Bar and Restaurant

CBD/Convention Center Restaurants

701 Tchoupitoulas St.
New Orleans, LA 70130
504-523-8995

Lucy’s is actually a New York original, but when she moved down to the Crescent City, she adapted quite nicely. The menu is mostly Baja-Mexican, meaning fried grouper and ceviche tacos, a tuna steak sandwich and a “Cali” burger topped with avacado and sprouts, salad on the side. But these days you can throw fried crawfish tails on top of the queso , and the fried shrimp are seasoned with Zatarain’s. Although they serve food until 10, Lucy’s is much more of a bar than a restaurant come nightfall. Order a Shark Attack or Da’ Killer Blue Whale and you’ll get a story from the bartender and a fantastic souvenir.
