Best of Uptown

Fourteen spots in Uptown, and one clears our top tier — Dakar NOLA, a James Beard Winner and North America's 50 Best pick.

Below that, seven Delicious spots carry the neighborhood: Michelin Selected picks like Atchafalaya and La Petite Grocery, and Bib Gourmand names like Domilise's and Mister Mao. The six Damn Good spots hold their own too, including Brigtsen's, a 1998 James Beard Winner still on the list. Uptown's badge count runs deep — eight Michelin Selected, four Bib Gourmands, and Beard recognition going back to 1998. One headliner, plenty of backup.
