Saint John

Saint John is from the same team behind Gris-Gris, one of our favorite restaurants on Magazine Street. This newer spot is another excellent place for Southern and Creole dishes, in a space that feels both old-school and modern New Orleans, thanks to the lovely open kitchen with counter seating and paintings by local artists that line the wall. Come for a date night dinner where you can split dishes like oysters three ways, a rich plate of beef daube, and buttery crawfish tails with fried green tomatoes. They also do a great drag brunch where you can get a lot of the same dishes as the dinner menu, with a side of immaculate lashes and unlimited slayage.
