The Original Pierre Maspero's

New Orleans

Cajun and Creole Restaurant

$$$$

Maspero’s talks a good game about being an “authentic Cajun experience”, and for the most part, that's true. The building itself is impressive, dating back to 1788, and the menu is also a big hit, with options like the Natchitoches Meat Pies, as well as the Seafood Pistolettes -- French rolls filled with a creamy cheese sauce with Gulf shrimp, bell peppers, and onions -- which are messy as hell and well worth it.
