The Caribbean Room

New Orleans

PERMANENTLY CLOSED

If anyone could revive this much beloved but long defunct restaurant in the Pontchartrain Hotel, it’s John Besh. We’re happy to say that the man has done it again with the Caribbean Room, which pays homage to its former glory while still fitting in adroitly with the current NOLA dining scene. The prices aren’t cheap, but it’s worth saving your pennies to sample Chef Chris Lusk’s menu, which includes renewed versions of old classics like Crab Remick and, of course, their famous Mile-High Pie, which is well worth a trip there.
