When it comes to dining in New Orleans, you can find absolutely amazing food at every end of the pricing spectrum. And when it comes to fine dining in New Orleans, we love any and all excuses to treat ourselves. There’s no better time to try out a splurge-worthy restaurant than during Restaurant Week, when select restaurants will roll out the red carpet for exception pre-fixe menus featuring the best in seasonal produce and other locally sourced ingredients. We’re drooling over all of the menus, but a few high-end picks really caught our eyes.

First off, there are the OG classics­–the grande dames of Creole and New Orleans cuisine. Antoine's is among the fanciest reservations in town, and Restaurant Week gives an excellent opportunity to get a true taste for old-school, white-tablecloth dining in the heart of the French Quarter.

Seafood lovers will swoon over the offerings at GW Fins – an upscale restaurant known for having some of the freshest (and most sustainably caught) fish in New Orleans. Expect dishes like Yellowfin Tuna Tartare and Swordfish Bolognese with fresh pasta, house-made ricotta, and summer vegetables. Or if meat is more your style, check out the menu at Brasa South American Steakhouse, where Chef Edgar Caro intertwines traditional Colombian, Argentinian, and Brazilian culinary traditions with premium cuts of steak and sides in a sleek, modern setting.
