New Orleanians fill up the three slightly dated dining rooms—think creaky floors and '80s artwork— of this clapboard cottage to dine on rich rabbit-andouille gumbo & roasted duck in honey-pecan gravy . Read more

Brigtsen's knows the secret to Southern food : simple honest cooking done exceedingly well . Try the pecan pie , a "sit back, relax and luxuriate in the moment kind of pie ." Read more

The signature dish—sesame-crusted, shallow-fried rabbit served with mustard sauce—is a masterful blend of Cajun ingredients and Creole technique. More places to eat like a local: tandl.me/12ufz7c

Esquire: Family-run bistro interprets LA classics from the Creole, Cajun, & Southern canons; Tiny kitchen with abundant Gulf seafood and year-round farm bounty. Pecan pie that will haunt your dreams.

Epicurious

Locals love this restaurant for the native food with a spin. The head chef is an avid fisher, so expect the seafood to be excellent. You should also try the rabbit-andouille gumbo , rich & flavorful.

Everything was delish! Duck was perfect, rabbit gumbo to die for, and the stuffed soft shell crab was amazing. This rates up there as one of my best meals ever.
