Press picks, until locals rank their own Top 5s. Sourced from the local food press. As seen in Style Weekly and Richmond Magazine. Updated August 2026.
Bon Temps · Bon Air
A Bon Air bistro from the owners of the La Bete food truck, who poured everything into this brick-and-mortar in the old Hang Space spot. The self-taught chef and his wife serve seafood gumbo, po' boys and beignets, and Richmond Magazine covered the opening the same week it happened.
Manchu · Northside
A Brookland Park takeout counter whose family business traces back to New Orleans, serving Cajun-rubbed wings, po' boys and gumbo alongside seafood platters in a lighter, almost tempura-style batter. Style Weekly's June 2026 readers' poll placed it third for wings citywide.
