Herbsaint

New Orleans


Herbsaint’s duck and andouille (smoked sausage) gumbo might be the best restaurant gumbo in town. The rest of the food ain’t too bad either – it’s very much modern bistro fare with dibs and dabs of Louisiana influence, courtesy of owner Donald Link. On our last visit, we enjoyed divine cornmeal fried oysters and crispy goat served alongside curried cauliflower.

The dining room, warmly lit by windows, is especially pleasant for lunch. Reservations are a good idea for dinner.
