Herbsaint

Situated on historic Saint Charles Avenue, the 100-seat Herbsaint is a bistro-style restaurant inside a warehouse district building. Large windows provide views of the streetcars outside, but patio dining is also available. Named James Beard Award winner for Best Chef: South in 2007, chef Donald Link whips up Southern-style dishes that are both French and Italian-inspired. Louisiana shrimp and grits with tasso and okra and slow-cooked lamb neck with butterbeans are among the most acclaimed menu items.
