See French Quarter and just go to this this "great hole in the wall.”

Zagat's 30 under 30, Eater National Young Guns. Haitian roots, Cambridge, Mass. raised and NOLA since 2015, Charley Pierre has been chasing flavors in the kitchen and life, diving deeply into the cultural and culinary currents that forever link New Orleans to Haiti.

@dakarnola | Chef Serigne Mbaye, with his popular pop-up, Dakar Nola, is a 2022 James Beard Award Nominee. Drawing from his Sengalese roots, Serigne shares the flavors from home, while celebrating many west African influences that have shaped New Orleans for 303 years and which still flavor this city today. Says Chef, "Our menu tells the story of the deep cultural connection between Senegambia and New Orleans through food. Our menu features a rotating highlight of seasonal produce and seafood, blending together Senegalese ingredients with local fare.”

Everyone knows the European, Caribbean and west African people who have made this aw esome city like no other place. But fewer realize profoundly the vital, vibrant Vietnamese community has shaped New Orleans. Whole villages came after the fall of Saigon. Catholics settled in the east. Buddhists on the Westbank. And, from Dong Phung Bakery in the east to Tan Dinh on the Westbank, well, God there good ! Tan Dinh is a gem of a bistro located in Gretna a 15 minute jaunt just across the Mississippi River from New Orleans. They continue a rich family tradition, offering the best fresh, fla-vorful Vietnamese cuisine. That’s why we say, “From Sicily to Senegal, Venice to Vietnam and Haiti to Habana, taste this place.” Pro tip: Dong Phong makes the best Kingcake.
