• French • Bywater
Booked 71 times today
Located in the Bywater neighborhood of New Orleans, N7 is a neighborhood French restaurant and wine bar. Founded by filmmaker Aaron Walker and chef Yuki Yamaguchi, N7 specializes in French cuisine, often infused with a Japanese touch.The restaurant is set off the street behind a tall fence amidst a garden, with indoor and outdoor seating. The wine menu is focused on small European winemakers who adhere to a natural, handmade approach to winemaking: little or no added sulfites, natural yeasts and the use of no pesticides.N7’s name derives from Nationale 7 (N7), the highway that once ran from Paris to the border of Italy. Known as the “Route des Vacances”, vacationing Parisians would take the road on their way South. Along the way, the Michelin Guide would direct them to the mom and pop restaurants which began to appear in farmhouses and hotels along the way to cater to them. Hence the origin of the Michelin Star. ***NO ONE UNDER THE AGE OF 18 ADMITTED.***

    Mr B’s was exceptional in every way. Terrence was an incredible server, who was extremely attentive and stayed with us throughout the meal, always there to ask us how we were and what we needed.  The place makes you feel so relaxed. You wind up best friends with the people at the next table. Wine selection - amazing! We ordered fried oysters, truffle parmesan fries, and duck egg rolls to start. All excellent, tasty and delicious. The fries covered a dinner plate! Red fish, and chicken were beyond amazing. I was finished off with molten sink and ice cream biscuits. Best meal I’ve had in ages. Everyone that works there so nice. Our third person was running late and they were wonderful to us.  Fantastic experience all around! Thank you, Mr B’s!
