ACAMAYA
The Gulf Reimagined in Mexican Style

Nestled in New Orleans' vibrant Bywater, Acamaya is a celebration of coastal Mexican flavors where the Gulf of Mexico meets Mexico City and the soul of Louisiana.

Sisters Ana and Lydia Castro invite you to experience “Mariscos pa’ la banda” — vibrant, expertly crafted seafood dishes that beautifully blend fresh Gulf catches with bold Mexican traditions and local Cajun influences.

A standout newcomer, Acamaya has been named one of Esquire’s and Bon Appétit’s Best New Restaurants in America, featured on the New York Times Restaurant List, and awarded a Michelin Bib Gourmand.

BRENNAN'S
A Creole Classic

In the heart of the French Quarter, Brennan’s pairs old-world elegance with playful New Orleans spirit, setting the stage for lingering breakfasts, celebratory dinners, and everything in between.

At the helm is Executive Chef Kris Padalino, whose background in pastry, math, and chemistry translates into precise, whimsical plates that honor tradition while nudging it forward.

Since 1946, the kitchen leans into nouvelle Creole cooking, weaving French and Spanish influences through seasonal Gulf seafood, rich sauces, and theatrical tableside service, all delivered with warm, polished hospitality that makes Brennan’s a timeless New Orleans classic.

CANE & TABLE
Cuban-Caribbean with a NOLA Twist

Tucked in the heart of New Orleans' French Quarter, Cane & Table blends Cuban soul with New Orleans Cajun spirit in a vibrant, rum-soaked escape.

Led by Chef Alfredo Nogueira — a New Orleans native with deep Cuban roots — the kitchen delivers seasonally driven, coastally inspired dishes that honor both Caribbean flavors and local traditions, from thoughtful whole-animal cooking to bright, preserved ingredients.

Pair it all with inventive “Proto-Tiki” rum cocktails that started NOLA’s modern tiki wave. Named one of Bon Appétit’s Five Best New Cocktail Bars in America and a James Beard semi-finalist for Outstanding Bar Program, Cane & Table is a favorite for its lively atmosphere, excellent food, and unforgettable tropical-meets-Cajun experience.
