We had a lovely dinner last night. Brilliant service and gave us all the recommendations.
Excellent Tuna Aguachile ceviche, seafood empanadas and Pork Arepas. Shared the Steak Mofongo for main which was amazing.

Best meal we’ve had in New Orleans so far.

Would have loved some Latin music or something! Felt it was pretty chilly too.

We came for brunch and were surprised to find it was not busy at all – especially since the food was so good! Nearly the whole menu is gluten free and celiac safe. The service was excellent- knowledge, attentive and expeditious. Vibrant decor and located right inside a hotel. We’ll definitely be back.

We were lucky to find Besame on a busy Saturday morning in NOLA when every popular breakfast spot had long lines. There was no wait, the service was attentive, and the food was fantastic—especially the vegetarian options. I had the chilaquiles, which were delicious (they can even substitute cashew crème if you’re dairy-free). The coffee was full of flavor without any bitterness, and their homemade hot sauce is a must-try—you won’t be disappointed!

We went around 1 on a Friday afternoon, so the lunch crowd had already disbursed. Service was quick and courteous. Atmosphere was quiet, but the decor was festive. Restaurant was quite clean and comfortable. We came based on the great reviews and the close proximity to our hotel. The location was unassuming (don’t miss it!) what we found was a gem that definitely should not be overlooked. All the reviews were not fake. We spent $100 which included 1 appetizer (ceviche negro our least favorite because one of us does not do spicy) and 3 tapas (we had one plate we took to go), 1 beer, 1 wine, and 20% tip. The best was the crawfish queso, which we put on our pork arripas. It was the perfect blend of creamy and savory (I was tempted to lick the bowl!) the empanadas we took to go. We will definitely return and highly recommend!

Very friendly service and the meals were delicious!

My husband and I tried the Pork Arepas, Steak Mofongo and Chicken Poblano. All dishes were so hearty and full of flavor. The Steak Mofongo was slightly smaller portion size than we had hoped, however, was still very tasty and satisfying.
The Chicken Poblano was the stand out and highly recommended.

This restaurant is a must. We came here as it was only a 8 minute walk from our hotel. Ambiance is super cute and cozy.
Service was great. Our waitress was attentive and the drinks and food came out quickly.
So to the yummy stuff. All that we preferred we loved.

Churrasco with batata bravas
Mofongo with steak
The steak was so moist and tender
For dessert because we came for my mom’s birthday was the Coconut flan which was light and delicious.
Highly recommend this spot.

We came to this place last night and it was really good but we were kind of in a hurry. Had the crayfish queso which was delicious and one of the ceviches which was good. I only felt the shrimp was too big in the ceviche. Oh and the flan was amazing!

Anyway there were other things on the menu I wanted to try so we came back.

O.M.G. the arepas. Soooooo good. Crunchy perfect little slices of Mesa and juicy greasy delicious pork with crunchy cabbage and red onions.

My husband had the paella and said it was amazing too but I didn’t have room to really try it.

Don’t forget to get the homemade hot sauce!

We are gonna come back a 3rd time before we leave NOLA.

We hosted a private dinner for about 40 people during a conference in New Orleans and had a great experience working with the owner, Nanyo. He was very responsive and easy to coordinate with throughout the planning process, which made organizing a large group event much smoother.

The food was excellent and everyone in our group really enjoyed it. The space worked perfectly for a social event where people could move around, eat, and connect. The staff also did a great job keeping everything organized and running smoothly throughout the night.

Overall it was a really great experience and I would definitely recommend working with Nanyo for group events or private gatherings.

Love the atmosphere of the restaurant. We went on a Sunday afternoon after a show at the Saenger – it was steady but not packed. We made reservations but would probably not have been needed at this time of day. Service was friendly and efficient. Ordered Tuna ceviche as an appetizer and also got pork arepas, and shrimp mofongo. All were delicious. Cocktails also very good.

This food at this place was phenomenal! We ate here before a show at the Saenger Theater. We got an assortment of tapas and cocktails, and they made vegetarian arepas off the menu for us. The service was top notch as well. I would eat here again in a heartbeat.

My only complaint is that the chairs are very uncomfortable- the metal bars dug into the sides of my hips. (I am 5’5” and 160 lbs.) I had to borrow an extra seat cushion to put behind me which helped, but I still had mild bruises the next day. Keep that in mind if you have wide hips like me.
