N7
$$$$•French•4.8(295)Located in the Bywater neighborhood of New Orleans, N7 is a neighborhood French restaurant and wine bar. Founded by filmmaker Aaron Walker and chef Yuki Yamaguchi, N7 specializes in French cuisine, often infused with a Japanese touch.
The restaurant is set off the street behind a tall fence amidst a garden, with indoor and outdoor seating.
The wine menu is focused on small European winemakers who adhere to a natural, handmade approach to winemaking: little or no added sulfites, natural yeasts and the use of no pesticides.
N7’s name derives from Nationale 7 (N7), the highway that once ran from Paris to the border of Italy. Known as the “Route des Vacances”, vacationing Parisians would take the road on their way South. Along the way, the Michelin Guide would direct them to the mom and pop restaurants which began to appear in farmhouses and hotels along the way to cater to them. Hence the origin of the Michelin Star.
***NO ONE UNDER THE AGE OF 18 ADMITTED.***The Country Club
$$$$•Creole / Cajun / Southern•4.8(1,448)The Country Club New Orleans pairs easygoing neighborhood charm with classic New Orleans style in the heart of the Bywater, offering an elegant escape with laid‑back local flair. Lunch is offered 5 days a week and our world-famous Drag Brunch on weekends.
Chef Chris Barbato expertly executes dishes composed of local ingredients mindful to seasonality. Guests can enjoy outdoor dining or the sophisticated elegance of the dining room while enjoying seafood‑forward cuisine inspired by Italian‑French and Creole‑Southern traditions. Standouts include Corn, Curry and Bluecrab Bisque, Jumbo Louisiana Shrimp with garlic, smoked paprika and charred lemon, and Saffron Mussels. An award‑winning wine program features more than 140 bottles from 13 countries, alongside a vibrant cocktail list. Guests must be 21 or over to dine. Limited outdoor seating is available and may be requested upon arrival. Drag Brunch frequently sells out online, with additional space bookable by calling 504-945-0742.
Casimiro
$$$$•Mexican•4.7(9)Ana & Lydia Castro, the sisters behind Acamaya, bring a distinct, Mexico City-style eatery to the Bywater with Casimiro. Casimiro has been selected by Michelin for inclusion in its 2026 Guide to dining in the American South.
Only one block away from Acamaya, Casimiro is its casual breakfast and lunch sibling. The menu is a showcase of traditional Mexican breakfast and lunch staples. The menu features chilaquiles (with salsa roja or verde!), huevos divorciados (sunny side up eggs over tortillas with beans and salsa), burritos (for breakfast or lunch), and a can't-miss torta de milanesa (a friend pork chop sandwich). Also, don't sleep on the ever changing tamales of the day. There's a different one each weekend, so come on by to check it out.
If you're coming from across town, go ahead and make a reservation. Live in the neighborhood? Don't worry. Casimiro still keep seats for walk-ins.Morrow's
$$$$•Southern•4.6(866)Nestled in the historic Faubourg Marigny neighborhood of New Orleans, LA; Morrow’s is an exciting new cosmopolitan restaurant concept founded in April 2018 by mother-son duo, Chef Lenora Chong and Event Curator Larry Morrow.
Serving classic New Orleans cuisine and authentic Korean dishes, Morrow’s has quickly grown to national acclaim as a local hotspot, with a thoughtfully curated ambiance serving hearty portions of delicious food!

Discover Bywater
The historic New Orleans neighborhood of Bywater fully embraces the Big Easy vibe. There aren't a lot of fussy, formal restaurants in Bywater, but there is a lot of good food. Among the local favorites are a little hole in the wall offering shrimp poboys and creole potatoes. A short walk away is a pizza joint that also serves upscale American-Italian specialties like duck papardelle. Fall-off-the-bone barbecue is a staple of the neighborhood and comes with all the fixin's. One of the most popular eateries in Bywater is actually a wine bar, but the mussels and pork shoulder are as good as the spirits.
