Herbsaint

Chef Donald Link’s Herbsaint Bar and Restaurant, which was established in 2000 on historic St. Charles Avenue, is the flagship of the Link Restaurant Group. The kitchen is well overseen by Chef de Cuisine David Rouse, who works very closely with local farmers and fishermen, offering the most contemporary, seasonal French-Southern cuisine with elements of rustic Italian cooking. An eclectic wine list and a knowledgeable staff make for such perfect pairings. The restaurant earned Chef Link a James Beard Award for Best Chef South in 2007; former Chef Rebecca Wilcomb, who now leads the kitchen at Gianna, was honored with the same award in 2017. Herbsaint is proud to be consistently included on the Times-Picayune’s annual list of New Orleans 10 Best Restaurants since the list began, in 2003. The restaurant has been recognized by Eater National as one of “The Best Restaurants in America” (the 38 restaurants that defined dining), has been added to the Fine Dining Hall of Fame by Nation’s Restaurant News, as well as listed as a Top 50 Restaurant in America by Gourmet Magazine.
