Cochon Restaurant

Excellent service and the best tasting food! We started with the fried gator and shishito peppers. I strongly recommend the fried gator! For dinner, we had the swordfish and beef short ribs. Incredible flavors in all the food. I strongly recommend both the restaurant and the butcher next door for a more casual meal

Of the restaurants we visited in New Orleans, Cochon had the best service and ambiance, and the food, while a bit pricier than expected, was quite good. The boudin balls were perfectly fried and delightfully seasoned and the rabbit with biscuits was savory and delicious. The only dish that we didn't particularly love was the Fried Alligator. While it was nicely fried, the pieces were absolutely doused in sauce, which frankly overpowered the dish. It would've been nice to have the sauce on the side so we could dip it as much as we'd like.

We had the most delightful experience at Cochon. I don’t even know where to begin but I’d like to thank the staff for being great at the chefs for the magic they work. wood fired oysters w/ chili garlic butter were great! The sauce is perfect for dipping in the very soft bread they serve after you’re seated. Very rich in flavor. fried alligator w/ chili garlic mayonnaise is a must try! The chili garlic mayonnaise really takes it to another level. crawfish bisque has a good depth of flavor and is creamy and comforting. smoked beef short rib, grits, crushed herbs, mushroom jus was fabulous!! The rib fell apart and although I’m not a fan of grits the mushroom and the ribs help make the dish sensational.
