Saint-Germain sits alone at the top — a Michelin One Star in Bywater with a James Beard Finalist nod behind it. The next five are all Delicious, a stacked group that includes three James Beard Winners and a Michelin Selected sweep: Compère Lapin, MaMou, Herbsaint, Saint Claire, and La Petite Grocery. August closes it out at Damn Good, still carrying a Beard Winner badge from 2006. New Orleans French runs deep from top to bottom.
