Nola Seafood & Spirits · Federal Hill
Baltimore Magazine's review frames NOLA Seafood and Spirits as a Federal Hill route to New Orleans cooking. The menu moves through jambalaya, crawfish étouffée, red beans and rice, po' boys, and gumbo, giving the Cross Street room a broad Cajun and Creole vocabulary. Seafood and cocktails complete the Big Easy reference.
Ethel's Creole Kitchen · Mount Washington
Baltimore Magazine introduced Ethel's Creole Kitchen as a Mount Washington restaurant grounded in Cajun and Creole cooking. Gumbo anchors that identity, supported by a menu built for a comfortable neighborhood dinner rather than a themed outing. The Sulgrave Avenue dining room gives Baltimore a longstanding, independently run expression of Louisiana-influenced food.
