Yurij Bryndzia: The less rich 3-courser was perfect. Pumpkin Seed Goat Cheese soup followed by the Pickled Lobster & Avocado Salad and finished by the delightfully refreshing Margarita Mint Sorbet. Just. The. Best.
Kelsey Anderson: Incredible service. Try the turtle soup, the all of our entrees were fantastic, drink an Evening in Barbados and have Creme Brûlée or the Bread Pudding Soufflé for dessert.
Alyssa: 25¢ martini lunch is excellent, with amazing food and service. The gumbo and turtle soup were all table favorites and the risotto was delicious.

Epicurious: This newly-rebuilt restaurant has been in operation since 1932 and is loved by everyone who visits. The specialties are New Orleans favorites, like turtle soup and trout amandine.
Katie Pitre: All delicious: Crawfish cake special, turtle soup, spaghetti & meatballs, and shrimp creole. A bit pricier than lesser-known local joints, but an overall good experience.
Epicurious: The turtle soup is some of the best in town. The po'boys are good, too. And the bartenders are particularly adept at Sazeracs and Old Fashioneds. Read more.

Readiness K: The crab and asparagus soup special is delicious if it's on offer!
Travel + Leisure: This 30-year-old shop is famous for French bread and Asian sweets, but don’t miss the beef soups with rice noodles, such as spicy hu tieu sate and pho dac biet. More Vietnamese in NOLA tandl.me/Vaq8mE

punkin: Order the turtle soup; ask for sherry. Order anything remoulade. If you can like it, you can buy the sauce by the bottle. Skip the crawfish pies.
