If you only splurge on one dinner in New Orleans, make it Bella Luna. Located at 914 N Peters Street, on the second floor high above the levee, Bella Luna’s massive windows overlook the mighty Mississippi River. You’ll find breathtaking views coupled with renowned haute cuisine, rare in New Orleans’s restaurants. Bella Luna has both!
Come early and watch the sunset turn the muddy river a rich golden hue as huge ships and graceful river boats slide past. Linger and watch the moonlight splash across the water.
Chef Horst Pfeifer’s menu matches the setting. It is sophisticated, savory, and superb. Try the roasted eggplant penne pasta, the stuffed portabella mushroom, or the fresh grilled redfish in a pesto crust.
Plan ahead. Reservations must be booked two weeks or more in advance. Visit Bella Luna at www.bellalunarestaurant.com.
