restaurant opening: Brasa South American Steakhouse

3/20/2024

 
Picture
Chef Edgar Caro and partner Antonio Mata of the Caro Mata Group are pleased to announce Brasa South American Steakhouse is now open in Canal Place in downtown New Orleans. Brasa is open for lunch and dinner seven days a week. This is Brasa's second location and serves as the brand's flagship restaurant, setting the stage for the Caro Mata Group. Brasa is an homage to the asado culture of Colombia, Brazil, and Argentina, showcasing the open-fire traditions from Caro's childhood. 

Chef Caro fastidiously crafted a menu featuring many dishes found at the original Brasa location on Metairie Road. The focus is on unique cuts of meat procured from ranches that produce the finest quality Angus in the market and local seafood prepared with a South American approach and style. "It has been a dream of mine to bring this style of food to downtown New Orleans," said Caro. "We are excited to share South America's rich culture and flavors with both locals and visitors alike and look forward to being a part of the revitalization at the foot of Canal." 

The restaurant is located at 
365 Canal St Ste. 220, and is open Sunday through Thursday from 11:30 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. and Friday and Saturday from 11:30 a.m. to 11 p.m.

Uptown New Orleans’ highly-anticipated Northern Italian restaurant will officially open to the public on Wednesday, April 5, 2023 at 4609 Magazine Street. The brainchild of Chef Brian Burns and Reno De Ranieri, who own the popular Spanish-inspired restaurant Costera, Osteria Lupo will offer locals and visitors refined Northern Italian cuisine featuring house made pastas, wood-fired specialties, and a stellar wine & cocktail program, served up in a chic and sophisticated setting.

Osteria Lupo’s menu is conceptualized by Burns, a graduate of Tulane’s A.B. Freeman School and École Grégoire-Ferrandi, one of France’s leading professional training schools. Burns’ impressive vitae includes stints at Michelin starred Joël Robuchon and Château Cordeillan-Bages in France. 

Dishes, many of which will come from the restaurant’s central wood-fire oven, will showcase the bounty of the mountains and lakes of Piedmont, Liguria and other regions in Northern Italy. “There is such a rich culinary landscape in the north, with its own unique flavors and ingredients,” says Burns. “I’ve always loved these regions and am excited to shine a spotlight on them here in New Orleans.” Osteria Lupo website
