Fodor's Expert Review Saint-Germain

The seasonal five-course menu changes constantly at this romantic Parisian-style bistro, which is quickly becoming one of the finest dining experiences in New Orleans. Optional wine pairings and a lovely courtyard add to the romance of this special, date-night spot. The food is exciting, the dining room is small, and reservations go quickly. If you aren’t lucky enough to get a dinner spot (book as far as a month in advance), the chic front bar and courtyard are just for walk-ins, with a menu of natural wines, cocktails, and bar bites. Dinner is usually set at $65 per person (without wine) and is chef's choice, but you can communicate dietary restrictions ahead of time.
