Emeril 34 Restaurant & Bar

Chef Emeril Lagasse’s first restaurant dedicated to the cuisine of his Portuguese heritage. 34 is inspired by his late mother, Hilda, who influenced his interest in cooking when he was a child growing up in Fall River, MA, home to the largest concentration of Portuguese people in the United States. The downtown New Orleans opening also represents the partnership between him (Emeril John Lagasse III) and his 21-year-old son, chef E.J. Lagasse (Emeril John Lagasse IV), who is collaborating on 34 while heading up the kitchen at the newly reopened flagship restaurant, Emeril's in the Warehouse District. 

At 34, the menu is built with the intention of sharing, while paying tribute to the Lagasse’s Portuguese heritage and many travels to Portugal over the years. Highlights include clams in vinho verde and arroz de pato with chourico and mushrooms. For dessert, the Lagasse’s’ share their take on pastries such as pasteis de nata and Basque cheesecake. The menu is complemented by a dynamic beverage program, with a heavy focus on Portuguese and Spanish wines and spirits.
