New Orleans, LA, USA
From Michelin Guide
Chef Sue Zemanick is no stranger to the New Orleans dining scene, having spent time in the kitchens of some of the city's famed restaurants before opening Zasu in 2019. Set in an easy-to-miss cottage in Mid-City, it's an elegant oasis with a sleek dining room marked by wood floors, dark green walls and gold tones. The menu is tightly edited, featuring a dozen or so dishes focused on seafood and blending local flavors with French techniques. A scallop shell holds two perfectly seared scallops in a Thai chile-lime butter with watermelon radish for a refreshing opener, while tilefish on a bed of Swiss chard, sweet potatoes and beech mushrooms in a beurre blanc is a satisfying main course. End with something sweet like the warm peach cake with vanilla yogurt sauce.

Seasonal New Orleans cooking with a seafood-leaning centre of gravity and tight, edited choices. Starters run from grilled baby octopus with salsa brava to yellowfin tuna crudo with Castelvetrano olives and fried capers. Mains move through fish and comfort, American red snapper with gnocchi and truffle beurre blanc, ora king salmon with black garlic miso vinaigrette, plus braised short rib with tamarind demi-glace.
