Fodor's Expert Review Boucherie
Nathanial Zimet's gutsy, down-home cooking, a unique blend of Louisiana and contemporary Southern styles, fits right in at its cozy location in a converted Uptown home. The menu here is updated monthly, but it always kicks off with small plates, including every imaginable iteration of grits: as fries, cakes, and even crackers. Large plates pack big flavors—smoked scallops, Wagyu brisket, and pulled pork cake with smashed confit turnips all deliver. No entrée costs more than $18. Try the Krispy Kreme bread pudding, even if you haven't saved room for it. And take time to explore the beer list, one of the most thoughtful in town.
