Hours of Operation

French quarter, restaurant overview.

The Riverboat CITY of NEW ORLEANS, sister vessel to the Steamboat NATCHEZ, is about to go into the history books as the newest floating palace on Old Man River. Like New Orleans riverboats of old, the cuisine will be magnificent, the music soul-stirring, and the adventure one you will remember for a lifetime.

You’ll be able to choose from three uniquely New Orleans experiences. The Mardi Gras Jazz Brunch Cruise will feature live music and great New Orleans food with a festive Carnival theme. The Jazz Brunch Cruise & Mardi Gras World Tour Combo will give you all that plus a chance to try on Mardi Gras costumes, learn a little Carnival history and tour the workshop where they build Mardi Gras floats year-round (you’ll even get a piece of king cake!). And the Jazz Dinner Cruise will offer classic New Orleans cuisine and cocktails and music from an authentic Dixieland band. There’s nothing like seeing the French Quarter at night from the river.

Laissez les bon temps rouler on the Riverboat CITY of NEW ORLEANS!

Share All sharing options for: Where to Eat in New Orleans’s Riverbend Neighborhood

New Orleans’s Riverbend is a pretty Uptown neighborhood stretched roughly between Carrollton Avenue and the levee next to the Mississippi River. A treasure trove of restaurants clustered on the main thoroughfares of Carrollton and Oak Street, it’s super for exploring, with lots of locally owned shops, coffee houses, and boutiques to peruse.

When it comes to food, the neighborhood is dotted with vegan bakeries, romantic bistros, and new-school cafes, offering options for French, Lebanese, Vietnamese, and Creole cuisines. This line up doesn’t cover every restaurant, coffee shop, or bar worth visiting, but the gist is clear — lots of delicious goings on in these parts. Here is a guide to dining in New Orleans’s Riverbend, arranged geographically as always.

Health experts consider dining out to be a high-risk activity for the unvaccinated; it may pose a risk for the vaccinated, especially in areas with substantial COVID transmission.

Breads On Oak

The breads are all good at Breads on Oak , but there’s so much more. This vegan bakery and cafe dazzles with organic, plant based dishes, salads, and sandwiches. The mighty melt is a good example, a veggie burger packed with beetroot, mushrooms, and soy protein. Add vegan provolone, roasted tomatoes, roasted onions, and jalapenos for a great lunch.

Brigtsen's Restaurant

Frank Brigtsen is one of a handful of New Orleans chefs still upholding the traditions of Creole cuisine while showcasing its very best, as he has since 1986. His quiet, upscale Riverbend became famous for the (not fried) seafood platter, paneed rabbit, and Parmesan-crusted Gulf fish topped with crab meat. He and his wife and partner Marna have been a pillar of strength and a beacon of hope during the pandemic.

Cooter Brown's Tavern

Located exactly at the river bend, Cooter Brown’s is a much loved sports bar with a damn good beer list and tasty bar food. All kinds of po’ boys and fries are on the menu, along with a veggie burger and spinach salad. Open 11 to 1 a.m. every day.

The Camellia Grill

A true classic, Camellia Grill is an 1940s-era, feel-good Riverbend diner. A long countertop weaves its way through the pink restaurant so diners can perch on stools while they order breakfast or hamburgers. Everything is cooked behind the counter in full view, so kids are entertained. Save room for  Camellia Grill ’s chocolate freeze.

At Ajun Cajun, garlicky grilled rib eye arrives piled high on a toasted Dung Phuong roll, soy marinated bites of carrot and cucumber adding crunch under a slathering of gooey melted mozzarella cheese. Doesn’t get any better. Used to be that this yakiniku po’ boy (created by chef Momo Young) was only available at festivals. But now that Ajun Cajun is on Oak, get the Japanese-meets Cajun po’ boys, yakisobi, and ramen any time.

Seafood Sally's

Chef Marcus Jacobs and Caitlin Carney, the partners behind Marjie’s Grill , opened Seafood Sally’s last year on Oak, a seafood-centric based on the typical crab trap eateries that dot the Gulf and East Coast. There’s a raw bar — served with Jacob’s trademark nuoc cham mignonette, Viet-Cajun style boils, fried seafood, Gullah style crab rice — all delicious. The menu is laced with the chef’s signature Southeast Asia-meets-Southern treatment of sauces and pairings.

Jacques-Imo's

A tradition of Cajun goodness since 1996, Jaqques-Imo’s is a New Orleans staple that is, yes, geared towards tourists, but beloved by many locals. Known for dishes like shrimp and alligator sausage cheesecake and a rich duck and and andoullie gumbo, all the Creole hits are on this menu, of course including blackened redfish, crawfish etouffee, and fried chicken. Reservations are taken a month out and only for parties of five or more.

Mukbang Seafood and Bar

Family recipes power Mukbang , a third generation business from Kim Nguyen and her husband and partner Luu Tran. Tran concocts the sauces for the Viet-Cajun seafood boils in flavors like tamarind garlic butter, flaming Cajun and Mukbang, a lemon forward butter sauce with a top-secret spice rub that gives platters of boiled and steamed shrimp, lobster, snow crab legs, blue crabs, clams, mussels, and fish its distinctive tang.

Satsuma Maple

Satsuma Maple delivers the same kind of tasty breakfast and lunch options as the original Bywater location. Try the green sandwich, an egg on a bagel with avocado mash and swiss, green eggs and ham with basil pesto or the chicken wrap with bacon. Open for breakfast and lunch daily, this spot has booze too, along with fresh juices.

14 Parishes Jamaican Restaurant

Great news that 14 Parishes has its own digs after being part of the Pythian Market for so long. All the better to enjoy this down-home destination named for the 14 parishes of Jamaica. The family-run eatery dishes homeland classics like beef patties and jerk chicken paired with sides like sweet plantains and cornbread.

Chais Delachaise

Love this sister bistro to the original French-inspired wine bar on Delachaise. Chais Delachaise has more elbow room to enjoy wine from around the world, a dog-friendly patio, and plates of goodness including cured salmon deviled eggs, split pea soup, and steak frites. Happy hour is 3 to 6 p.m. and wine is half off.

18 Hidden Hangouts in New Orleans

Maple Street Café

Maple Street Cafe dishes Mediterranean and Italian fare in a comfy, neighborhood setting. Try stuffed shrimp, pasta with wild mushrooms, or sauteed veal with a brandy demi-glace. The eggplant and shrimp soup is divine.

Hangout Ramen

Ramen, noodles, and fried rice are the three pillars of the all-day menu at Hangout Ramen on Carrollton. Ramen simmers for six hours, delivering meltingly tender meat as a base for what’s to come. Choose heat levels for popular combos like chicken katsu ramen, with its creamy pork broth and fried chicken cutlet and the house special Hangout ichimi ramen, a garlicky pork broth spiced with chiles, rounds of crisp pork belly, and skewered fried shrimp.  

View this post on Instagram A post shared by Hangout Ramen Restaurant (@hangoutramen)

This newish women-owned restaurant with an emphasis on plant based and gluten free options gets better and better. Kindred’s specialty is comfort food, including fried chicken made from house-made seitan, po’ boys, salads, and baked goods. Craft cocktails too along with a nice lineup of non-alcoholic cocktails.

New Orleans’s Most Refreshing Frozen Cocktails to Beat the Heat

Chef Nathanial Zimet expanded Boucherie during the pandemic to include a climate controlled outdoor dining room. All the better to enjoy the chef’s take on contemporary Southern eats, dishes like the shrimp and grits cake, collards and grit fries, andouille Wellington, and whole hog pulled pork. Great drinks and wine list, too.

Things to Do: New Orleans Riverboat

A ride on the mississippi offers great views and a relaxing time.

Mark Twain said that the Mississippi River was a wonderful book with a new story to tell every day. Mississippi, a Chippewa Indian word that means “large river” is the life force that has shaped New Orleans history forever, defining and literally shaping the city into its famous Crescent outline. The best way to see what Mark Twain was talking about is to take a paddleboat tour along the hard working river, and travel back to the days when steam-driven river paddle wheelers were the main source of both transportation and commerce. Boat tours leave regularly from the riverfront area adjacent to Woldenberg Park, some offering music and meals, all offering cocktails and narration. So hop aboard one of these.

Jefferson Park: Family-friendly coffee shop and indoor play space Sunny Village Cafe will open in June at 5918 W. Lawrence Avenue, owner Georgena Hurst tells Block Club Chicago . The idea stemmed from a trip that Hurst, her husband Seokhee Burningham, and their two sons took in 2023 to South Korea, where they encountered numerous “kid cafes.” The genre has grown so popular that the Seoul Metropolitan Government aims to open 400 city-run “kid cafes” by the end of 2026. Sunny Village Cafe will include an area for stroller parking, as well as a counter serving coffee, tea, baked goods, and more.

Jefferson Park: Prohibition-era nostalgia is likely to reach new heights with the debut of Vito’s Vault, a speakeasy-style dinner theater spot that’s aiming for an April debut at 5901 W. Lawrence Avenue, according to Block Club . Owner Mark Forrest Virkler spent nearly two decades working at Tommy Gun’s Garage, a 1920s-themed spot in South Loop. After it closed in the early years of the pandemic, Virkler set out to spin off his iteration in the hope of reviving the popularity that dinner theater once enjoyed. Vito’s patrons can expect a three-course meal (options will include steak, chicken, fish, and pasta) and a 90-minute stage show featuring comedy, songs, and interactive “police raids” that bring the audience into the production.

Fulton Market: Long-awaited French-Lebanese restaurant Beity, the debut project from chef Ryan Fakih, has applied for a liquor license at 813 W. Fulton Market. Fakih says he’s aiming to open in early summer. First announced in March 2023, Beity was originally slated to open in River North, but plans have changed and it will now replace shuttered wine bar Joe’s Imports.

Pilsen: Local craft beer maker Monochrome Brewing has applied for a liquor license at 2101 S. Carpenter Street, a space that was once home to shuttered brewery and taproom Lo Rez .

Streeterville: Chapel Street Cafe, a new Australian restaurant specializing in Aussie staples like Lamington cake, flat whites, and toast with Vegemite, is slated for a November debut at 198 E. Delaware Place on the ground floor of the Hilton Chicago/Magnificent Mile Suites, according to Crain’s . Owner Shawn Uldridge, an Australian who moved to Chicago in 2014, is also behind West Loop’s Publishing House Bed & Breakfast and opened wine bar The Press Room , though he’s no longer involved in the latter.

Uptown: Chicago Pickle Eatery , an Avondale deli that’s garnered a following with enormous New York City bodega-style sandwiches, is aiming to expand in March into a sister location at 4515 N. Sheridan Road, owner Mohamad Atieh announced on Instagram . Atieh moved to Chicago from New York City three years ago and tells reporters that he observed a gap in his new city’s corner store offerings. He’s working to fill that chasm with a menu of hefty sandwiches like the eponymous Chicago Pickle (pastrami, corned beef, pickles, coleslaw, Swiss, Russian dressing) and the steak and cheese, a riff on famed regional delicacies like Philly cheesesteaks and New York chopped cheese.

Wicker Park: Trattoria RnB, a new Italian restaurant featuring wood-fired pizzas and fresh pasta, is working toward a debut at 2101 W. North Avenue, the former home of indie pizzeria Knead, according to its website . An opening date is not yet available.

Evanston: Nearly a year after its closure, Irish pub The Celtic Knot has announced plans to reopen in the former home of Lush restaurant at 2022 Central Street in suburban Evanston, according to Evanston Round Table . Owners Liz and Patrick Breslin say fans can expect a smaller, cozier space and a slimmed-down menu, but promise they hope to recreate the pub’s lively atmosphere with live music and a crew of regulars.

Naperville: California-born brand Ranch 99 Market , said to be the largest Asian grocery chain in the country, is poised to take over a former Dominick’s grocery store at 1555 N. Aurora Road in suburban Naperville, according to the Tribune . It’s pegged to debut in 2025 and will include a food court called Eat Up. The chain, also called Tawa Supermarket, was founded in 1984 by Roger Chen, a Taiwanese immigrant, and currently operates 54 stores across 10 states . The Naperville location is part of the area’s Riverbrook Shopping Center, which is now owned by Texas-based developer NewQuest Asia-Pacific Retail. In early January, NewQuest reps told reporters that the company plans to transform the center into a hub for Asian restaurants and businesses.
