Best American Restaurants in New Orleans

Emeril's tops the list at Delicious as F£¤£king Good — Michelin Two Stars, a 1991 James Beard win, and a 2026 50 Best nod. Nine more sit at Delicious, including Pêche Seafood Grill and Compère Lapin, both Beard winners in their own right, plus four Bib Gourmands scattered from Uptown to Mid-City. Seven Damn Good spots round it out, from Brennan's to a $ plate at Li'l Dizzy's Cafe. This is a deep list before you even get to the top of it.
