in the last weekCochon is a must try when visiting New Orleans. My husband and I loved our dishes. I had the oven baked Oysters (my first time having oysters) and the Mac and cheese which was very flavorful and creamy. For dessert we had bread pudding which was pretty unique and sorbet. The customer service from the staff was incredible! Next time we visit New Orleans we will definitely be making a reservation at Cochon.

in the last weekVibrant restaurant with incredible food, ambiance, and friendly service. I was seated immediately at the chef's counter, which was a great experience for a solo traveller. I enjoyed the Gumbo, crawfish bites (with an amazing citrus aoli!), Mac and cheese, boudin, and drinks.
