America's 100 Best Wine Restaurants 2019
Brennan’s,
New Orleans,
LA
This restaurant has been an institution since 1946, known for its flaming bananas Foster, innovative adaptations of Creole cuisine and attentive service. The women-led wine team has flourished, responding to customer demand with a natural wines page on its list and a Champagne happy hour.
From The Sommelier: “I’m most excited about small production and independent growers becoming more important on wine lists. In general, I see several restaurant lists developing in this direction. I think the promotion of small growers and multigenerational, family owned and operated wineries is really important.” —Braithe Tidwell, Brennan’s
Dish We Loved: Gulf fish amandine with Marcona almonds, haricot verts, and preserved lemon butter
