- SsusanbNew Orleans / Louisiana •8 reviews5.0Dined on Jan 1, 2023La Petite Grocery was as wonderful as it was reputed to be. I went for the blue crab beignets, which were absolutely the best beignets I can imagine. The quantities of food were manageable, appreciated so that there was room for dessert. And the desserts were particularly complex and interesting - we tried all four.More infoLa Petite GroceryPrice: Expensive• French• Garden District•4.8

Discover Uptown
Looking for a melting pot of cultures within the city of New Orleans? You'll find it in the Uptown neighborhood located north of the Mississippi River. In its early years, this area of the city attracted both overseas immigrants and transplants from other regions of the United States, and the neighborhood also boasted a large population of African-Americans. It's no wonder, then, that the restaurant scene in Uptown features a wide variety of cuisines from which to choose. Go for a Mediterranean flair at Italian pizzerias that feature homemade dough, lean toward Southern classics at a cafe that serves shrimp and grits, or enjoy classic Cajun and Creole dishes. Oh, and don't forget Uptown's German influence; try traditional Bavarian bratwursts or a sausage made from New Orleans crawfish.
