This month I’m celebrating late-night dining downtown at Junebug.
This month …
Genre-bending cuisine mingles with the classic New Orleans spots that have made it a world-renowned food town this month. There’s a courtyard haunt with a European sensibility, modern Indian that will reshape your appreciation of the category, and extravagant Thai specialties, all now bookable on Resy.
Good Catch Thai Urban Bistro Central Business District
A familiar local name is behind this ambitious downtown restaurant: chef Aom Srisuk, a Bangkok native who opened Uptown’s popular Pomelo in 2021. You can’t help but go big dining here, with seafood-centric specialties like fried whole sea bass, jumbo lump crab curry, and the eye-popping Ocean’s Treasures, a medley of scallops, crab, shrimp, mussels, and calamari in a chile-basil-garlic sauce. Plus, raw bar offerings and the cocktail menu are unexpected highlights.
LUFU NOLA – French Quarter French Quarter
New opening!
This second home for Lufu’s much-loved regional Indian specialties thrives in the French Quarter, where a bigger space matches the expanded offerings of tandoori, biryani, and Indochinese dishes, all bursting with flavor. The stylish feel of the original restaurant in the Central Business District carries over, too, with intricate murals, Bollywood memorabilia, and colorful and inventive cocktails. You can taste the love that goes into the food here, thanks to chefs Aman Kota, Sarthak “Shan” Samantray, and Sachin Darade.
Patula French Quarter
Everything about Patula feels seamlessly effortless: its refined European cafe vibe, the trendy old-world-meets-new-school wine selection, and a succinct, globally-inspired menu of small plates. One taste of the food, however, and it’s clear just how much effort chef Rob Tabone puts into dishes like Moroccan-spiced meatballs with tomato and tzatziki sauces and mushroom toast with just the right balance of richness and brightness. Courtyard dining underneath the stars is yet another reason to visit.
