Peche

The vibe: The bride’s #1 in nola. Casual but elevated. Great for groups. Seafood, but plenty of southern-comfort options for the fish-hater in your life. What to order for the table: tuna dip, hush puppies, 5 zillion oysters.

Lilette

The vibe: Every bite is perfect. This is the M.O.B.’s #1 by FAR (and that is when you know…). Elevated, charming, neighborhood-y. The kind of special reservation you’d make when mom & dad are in town. Bonus pts: Taylor & Travis have dined here. The iconic dish: the fresh (and flown in!) hearts of palm salad.

Shaya

The vibe: The bride’s favorite mediterranean spot in the world. Super cute, dress it up or down. Courtyard in the back. The best pita you’ll ever have. Try the fried chicken hummus–you will be changed forever. Half off hummus & drinkys at 4pm!

The vibe: A gorgeous bar, exceptional cocktails. Near our home & Trinity Church.
