Herb Saint

Let's start with dessert, because often that is the best part of the meal. Beep and I had one of the most memorable meals ever at Herb Saint in New Orleans! Every part of this meal was amazing. Check out their web page, the pictures, not surprisingly show off the food slightly better than mine. It will make your mouth water. They have a delightfully, fair priced offering of small plates as well as larger main dishes to sample and share.


I don't remember the fancy name they gave this, and unfortunately it is no longer on the seasonal menu, but it was basically the lightest, yummiest version of a panna cotta. Pray for the quick return of this decadent treat.


Banana Brown Butter Tart with Fleur de Sel Caramel


Fried Brussel Sprouts, perfectly seasoned and crispy, like a potato chip, you can't stop at just one, it was the vegetable of the day, so you might not be as lucky as we were. Worth a repeat visit if they are not offered.


Duck Leg Confit with Dirty Rice and Citrus Gastrique.


Louisana Shrimp and Grits with Tasso ham and okra.


Pork Belly with sticky rice cake, greens and cucumber salad.


Two small plates: Pasta Carbonara topped with a panko crusted poached duck egg and Crab salad with beets and grapefruit.

Gumbo of the day.
