Maypop

Address | 611 O'Keefe Ave, New Orleans, LA

New Orleans is known as a foodie paradise so sifting through the options and paring down our list for our four-day stay was made easier by calling upon my Chef friends for their favorite New Orleans dinning recommendations. Our first night in the Big Easy we decided to try Southeast Asian-New Orleans fusion restaurant, Maypop.

The setting at Maypop is cool and inviting on a hot summer evening. The industrial building is bright with floor-to-ceiling windows, and warmed with hanging plants, and hanging map murals on the walls. With a full bar and large dining room it’s a great space for larger gatherings or an intimate dinner for two.

I found the dishes at Maypop to be wonderfully unique and well executed and would recommend to you on a visit to New Orleans. Here’s what we ordered.

*Note: My wife and I shared the dishes we ordered so on the salad and crab noodles what you see in the photos are half orders.

Overall our dinning experience at Maypop was excellent and most importantly the food was delicious. A great spot to experience the New Orleans food scene.
