Cochon Restaurant - New Orleans (LA)

5 /5 Nora Fletcher: We really enjoyed this place! Wonderful service and really good food. We really enjoyed the gumbo and the gator bites, as well as the crab gratin. For the brisket, it was good but we actually enjoyed the deviled egg potato salad next to it so much that we ordered more. We also preferred the pineapple upside down cake over the banana pudding, but both were still good. We both tried the amaretto sour and whiskey sour, and greatly enjoyed them both. This is a great place and has such nice staff. Well worth the visit!

5 /5 Larson Productions: Wow everything here was an absolute delight. I sat at the bar bartender was very informative about the menu and were items were sourced. Service was fantastic. Great wine selections. I ordered the chicken livers which were perfectly lightly fried and melt in your mouth delicious. The rabbit dumplings were like a pot pie with dumplings on top. It had a light gravy and vegetables. It was wonderful as well.

5 /5 Gin Justice: Recommended by a musician friend, Cochon did not disappoint. We asked to sit at the Chef’s counter and were rewarded with a delicious shrimp gift from the Chef. We enjoyed the Rabbit and dumplings, shrimp stew and Lima beans. The rolls were fresh and delicious! Excellent service and delicious food. We stopped in early on a Tuesday for dinner and didn’t have a reservation. Will definitely be back!

4 /5 Justin Posey: Michelin-Level Food, Human-Level Hospitality Walked into Cochon on a Friday night with my 9 year old son no reservation, casually dressed, zero expectations of getting a table. We were seated immediately and treated with genuine hospitality from the jump. No pretension, no side eye just good service and good people. I ordered the braised brisket with egg salad and it was absolutely exquisite rich and perfectly balanced. My son went with the catfish and cleaned his plate, which might be the highest culinary compliment a restaurant can receive. Every bite felt intentional, from the meats to the sides to the pacing of the meal. Michelin recognition makes sense here, but what really stood out was how approachable the experience was. World class food without the stiffness. A place where you can share something special with your kid and feel completely welcome doing it. Highly recommend.

5 /5 Tracey Phan: Exceptional restaurant. It is no wonder why this restaurant is busy despite its location outside of the French quarter. The food is excellent with service to match. You cannot go wrong with any dish on the menu. It is elevated southern cooking with unique tasty items such as the rabbit and biscuits. The brisket was also well cooked with balanced flavor. Their crab appetizer was very tasty although I preferred it dipped with the house bread rather than the toasties that accompanied the dish. The plates are hardy but not too heavy, so it was a welcomed break from the fried and carb heavy meals found throughout NOLA. You can tell the quality of the restaurant based on the pre meal fresh artisan bread served. This restaurant checks all the boxes required for it to be considered a high quality restaurant.
