• French • Bywater
Booked 70 times today
Located in the Bywater neighborhood of New Orleans, N7 is a neighborhood French restaurant and wine bar. Founded by filmmaker Aaron Walker and chef Yuki Yamaguchi, N7 specializes in French cuisine, often infused with a Japanese touch.The restaurant is set off the street behind a tall fence amidst a garden, with indoor and outdoor seating. The wine menu is focused on small European winemakers who adhere to a natural, handmade approach to winemaking: little or no added sulfites, natural yeasts and the use of no pesticides.N7’s name derives from Nationale 7 (N7), the highway that once ran from Paris to the border of Italy. Known as the “Route des Vacances”, vacationing Parisians would take the road on their way South. Along the way, the Michelin Guide would direct them to the mom and pop restaurants which began to appear in farmhouses and hotels along the way to cater to them. Hence the origin of the Michelin Star. ***NO ONE UNDER THE AGE OF 18 ADMITTED.***

    One of the best dining experiences EVER! The food was absolutely delicious and the service was wonderful! There was not one single detail we would have changed. Our party had several fish/seafood entrees, a chicken entree, and a steak - all were superb! Cannot wait to return!

    Wonderful! Great menu, cocktails and wine selections. Great service from Mary. Food was served fresh and hot! And not overly salty. Everythung perfectly seasoned. The Pear Cosmo was great! Joseph Drouhin Chardonnay was also very good. Duck Springrolls were suoerb. Pork Ossobucco was fork tender anf flavorful. And I tried the messy- but must have for my 1st time- Bbq Shrimp. Huge prawn like shrimp in a great saye with garlic bread. At least 10 of them! So glad I had them. And enough to share. Just wasn't a fan of the Lemon ice box cake but thats ok. For an OG French Quarter restaurant - hust go. You won't be sorry.
