The 8 Most Anticipated New Orleans Restaurant Openings This Fall

Diners can look forward to Korean fried chicken, a jamón bar, and late-night drinking food

by Clair Lorell 

As the summer heat begins to wane in New Orleans — even temporarily — there’s fresh hope in the air: for a mild, uneventful end to hurricane season; that this year the Saints take the NFC South; and that the local crawfish supply returns plentiful. This fall is also expected to bring an abundance of new restaurant options that will rival a most exciting summer of game-changing openings. New Orleans diners can look forward to a lively spot for Korean fried chicken, onigirazu, and beer towers; an Emeril Lagasse tapas restaurant featuring a jamón bar; and a late-night cocktail den promising sophisticated food served past midnight. Here are New Orleans’s most anticipated restaurants opening this fall.

Chi Chi’s Chicken and Beer

Where: 4714 Freret Street, Uptown

When: September 7, 2024

Perhaps the most exciting restaurant opening this fall is a Korean fried chicken and onigirazu (sushi sandwich) spot from couple Adolfo Garcia and Sophia Petrou, New Orleans natives who each descend from legendary New Orleans restaurant families. They’re preparing for a grand opening on Saturday, September 7, serving up a menu of double-fried, sauced-up chicken wings and sandwiches, steak katsu, kakigōri (Japanese shaved ice dessert), and onigirazu — specifically, spicy tuna cucumber, salmon jalapeño, seasonal veggie, and Korean fried chicken sandwiches made with onigiri rice as the “bread.”

AD

Aguasanta

Where: 8312 Oak Street, Uptown

When: September 2024

The folks behind La Tia Cantina, the popular Metairie restaurant known for its cocktails and regional Mexican specialties, are opening a restaurant on Oak Street this fall. Aguasanta, taking over the former location of Magasin, will differ from La Tia, serving modern fusion with Mexican and Latin American influences. A seafood bar will serve ceviche, tiradito, aquachile, tartare, and oysters. and a wood-fired oven will dish out roasted meats and vegetables. Diners can expect beautiful cocktails as well.

AD

34 Restaurant and Bar

Where: 710 Baronne Street, Warehouse District

When: September 2024

Taking shape across the street from the CBD/Warehouse District Rouse’s in a huge historical building is 34 Restaurant and Bar, Emeril Lagasse’s “love letter” to his Portuguese heritage. Expect tapas-style shared plates, Portuguese specialties, and — perhaps most excitingly — a jamón bar sometime in September.

Beer-battered drum is on the menu at Junebug. Randy Schmidt/Junebug

Junebug

Where: 748 Camp Street, Warehouse District

When: October 2024

Junebug is a new Warehouse District cocktail bar from the restaurant group behind nearby Devil Moon BBQ and Brewery Saint X, promising to serve a full menu, plus nightly specials, past midnight. The food, described as sophisticated bar food, is a slight departure for Louisiana pitmaster Shannon Bingham: French-inspired but with familiar Southern twists — dishes like croquettes monsieur, picked shrimp dip, blue crab gratin with pan con tomate, foie gras mousse with banana bread, and confit beef cheeks. The drinks have a twist, as well: House cocktails can be made two different ways, full-strength or refreshing. The restaurant, expected to open in October, will feature a bar, lounge area, and partially covered courtyard.

The Coop

Where: 1030 Derbingy Street, Gretna

When: Fall 2024

AD

James Beard semifinalist Marlon “Chicken” Williams is awaiting final inspections for the second outpost of his wildly popular restaurant, Chicken’s Kitchen. Also located in Gretna, the Coop will introduce a build-your-own breakfast option (doors open at 6:30 a.m.) and feature the beloved meat and three dishes that Williams is known for. There will also be daily specials like yak-a-mein, a large menu of sandwiches, fresh-pressed juices, smoothies, and salads.

La Cocinita

Where: 4920 Prytania Street, Uptown

When: Fall 2024

At their forthcoming Uptown restaurant opening this fall, La Cocinita food truck proprietors Benoit and Rachel Angulo are planning a bigger-than-ever menu of pillowy arepas, including vegan options, and a weekend brunch menu of empanadas, breakfast tacos, and breakfast bowls. Tropical cocktails, mimosas, margaritas, and mojitos, plus South American wines and beer are also on the menu.

Cajun Flames

Where: 1117 Decatur Street, French Quarter

When: Fall 2024

A year after opening one of New Orleans’s best new Indian restaurants, the chefs behind LUFU NOLA are branching out with a New Orleans-centric seafood restaurant in one of the most tourist-heavy areas of the French Quarter. Sarthak Samantray, Aman Kota, and Sachin Darade are working on a casual, drop-in restaurant focusing on oysters and fried seafood at the former home of Saint John (which has relocated to the CBD) to open sometime this fall.

The Husky

Where: 4510 Freret Street, Uptown

When: Late fall 2024

This nontraditional steakhouse is joining the Freret Street restaurant boom later this fall, opening in the space briefly home to Acropolis and before that, Wayfare. It’s from the owners and chef of Pigeon and Whale, an upscale, New England-centric seafood restaurant across the street. It will also emphasize atmosphere and design — this time, aiming for a ski lodge vibe rather than a nautical one. Expect hearty pasta dishes, fancy burgers, seafood, game meats, and of course, steak.

Later this year

The Kingsway

Where: 4201 Magazine Street, Uptown

The Kingsway is opening late this year or early next, says the Vilkhu family. It follows Saffron, their acclaimed destination for fine-dining Indian cuisine that landed chef Arvinder Vilkhu a Best Chef: South James Beard Award nomination, and will meld East Asian and French flavors.

The Bell Nola

Where: 3125 Esplanade Avenue, Bayou St. John

Big-deal Charleston restaurateur Brooks Reitz is opening the Bell, a French-inspired New Orleans restaurant with an English pub vibe on Esplanade Avenue sometime this year. It takes over the space briefly home to the Post, previously Nonna Mia.

Find Paw Paw’s Donuts at 619 Pink St. Thursday through Sunday, from 7 a.m. to 11 a.m. Paw Paw’s Donuts continues its Sunday appearances at the Crescent City Farmers Market, 8 a.m. to noon at Tad Gormley Stadium (Marconi at Navarre).

Five new restaurants to try in the Greater New Orleans area

by: Christian Olivier

NEW ORLEANS (WGNO) — The Greater New Orleans area is known for many unique cultural aspects, but perhaps the most noteworthy of them is the wide variety of food available to hungry inquirers from around the world.

For those who may be more accustomed to long-standing offerings, however, trying something new may very well be in order for an upcoming weekend out.

To help out prospective foodies, we’ve put together this list of five newly opened restaurants from across the culinary spectrum, hoping to offer something appealing to even the pickiest of eaters.

1. City Market

For a wide variety of foods and flavors, City Market at 1101 Elysian Fields Ave. in New Orleans is an ideal choice.

The market features six distinct eateries offering many items, including hamburgers, baked goods, sushi, bubble tea, Cajun staples and Vietnamese cuisine.

City Market may be a good option for groups of picky eaters, as the numerous options serve to provide something for everyone.

The establishment is open from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. from Sunday to Thursday, and from 8 a.m. to 9 p.m. on Friday and Saturday.

2. Rascal Blues Chicken and Waffles

Rascal Blues, located at 1801 Rousseau St. in New Orleans, offers sweet and savory Southern foods for a comforting, at-home feeling.

The restaurant, which opened on Aug. 3, is of course known for their chicken and waffles, but also offers many soul-food staples such as greens, corn bread and mac and cheese.

Rascal Blues is open daily from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. and may be the perfect choice for people looking for an indulgent meal in a family-centric, musical and culturally unique setting.

3. Tacos del Cartel

Back in April, Tacos del Cartel opened a fresh location in New Orleans at 1010 Girod St., and with renovations happening at their older Metairie location as well, now is the perfect time to check out this vibrant spot for street tacos and Tex-Mex cuisine.

The restaurant offers a wide variety of tacos for customers to choose from, including eight specialty options, such as their duck carnitas taco, and eight traditional options, such as the classic tacos de asada, which is made with flank steak.

Tacos Del Cartel also offers many sides, soups, desserts and larger meals for groups. The New Orleans location is open on Monday, Wednesday and Thursday from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m., on Tuesday and Friday from 11 a.m. to 11 p.m., on Saturday from 9 a.m. to 11 p.m. and on Sunday from 9 a.m. to 10 p.m.

4. Sushi Takumi

This new Japanese restaurant, located only a block away from the Superdome at 703 Carondelet St. in the Central Business District of New Orleans, was started in part because the owner, Johnny Wang, noticed a lack of affordable sushi restaurants.

Sushi Takumi has also recently gained notoriety from its introduction of a “Taylor Swift Roll” ahead of the singer’s upcoming show in New Orleans.

A walk through Cajun and Creole origins and histories

The restaurant offers many, many varieties of sushi for customers to choose from, including classics like the California and Crunchy Rolls, and specialty rolls like the House Steak Roll, made with shrimp, snow crab and seared beef with avocado inside and scallions, BBQ eel sauce and spicy mayo on top.

Sushi Takumi is open from 11 a.m. to 9:30 p.m. on Monday, Wednesday and Thursday, from 11 a.m. to 10:30 p.m. on Friday, from 11:30 a.m. to 10:30 p.m. on Saturday and from 11:30 a.m. 9:30 p.m. on Sunday. The restaurant is closed on Tuesday.

5. Savvy’s Sliders

Savvy Sliders, the fastest growing slider restaurant in the U.S., has opened a new location at 2565 Metairie Rd. in Metairie, bringing to this list a faster, more everyday kind of cuisine for the those who prefer to keep things simple.

One of Savvy’s main selling points is serving fresh, never frozen sliders in a variety of different configurations in order to meet anyone’s preference.

The fast-food joint offers simple staples on their sliders, such as angus beef, but also offer more unique options, such as the “Boomin’ Chicken” slider, made with fried chicken, pickles, lettuce and Savvy’s “Boom Sauce.”

For those less interested in sliders, the restaurant also features hand-breaded chicken fingers, fries, cheese curds, onion rings and well as nine different flavors of custard shakes.

Savvy’s Sliders is open from 10:30 a.m. to 11 p.m. on Sunday through Thursday, and from 10:30 a.m. to 12 a.m. on Friday and Saturday.

What a Difference a Year Makes...

Vintage variation in wine refers to the differences in the characteristics and quality of wines produced from the same vineyard or region in different years. These variations are primarily influenced by the weather and climate conditions experienced during a particular growing season, including factors such as temperature, rainfall, and sunshine. In years with ideal weather conditions, such as a balanced mix of sun and rain, grapes can ripen perfectly, leading to a vintage with well-structured, flavorful wines. Conversely, a growing season with too much rain, frost, or extreme heat can result in grapes that are under-ripe, overripe, or unevenly developed, leading to wines that may lack balance or complexity. Additionally, the timing of the harvest, influenced by weather patterns, can impact the final wine, as grapes picked too early or too late may not achieve their full potential. As a result, each vintage offers a unique snapshot of that year’s conditions, making wine an ever-changing, dynamic product where no two vintages are exactly alike.

Wine vintages are then rated by a combination of wine critics, publications, and organizations that assess the quality of wines produced in a specific year. These ratings are typically based on factors such as the weather conditions during the growing season, the quality of the grapes harvested, and the overall character and potential longevity of the wines produced.

In this tasting, we'll discuss these variations and how certain growing conditions affect wine, good or bad. We'll be tasting wines from selected, highly rated vintages in their respective regions around the world, and then ask you to rate the wine and see how your ratings correspond to the vintage rating. Join David Sobiesk for this fun, tasting and informative event!
