Lonely Planet review

Despite all the critical acclaim that has been heaped upon chef Frank Brigtsen, Brigtsen's remains a decidedly unpretentious place. Set in a converted double-shotgun house, the restaurant feels homey and inviting. Service is attentive but never oppressive. Brigtsen terms his cooking 'modern Louisiana cuisine,' and those in search of haute Cajun cuisine will not find a better restaurant in the city.

Rabbit and duck are among his specialties. Look for the roast duck with cornbread dressing and honey-pecan gravy, or Braised Rabbit in Phyllo Pastry with Creamed Spinach, Bacon, Mushrooms, Leeks, & White Truffle Oil.
