New Orleans certainly has no shortage of historic restaurants. From Antoine’s to Commander’s Palace, the Crescent City is peppered with restaurants that are housed in century-old buildings. That’s just one of the reasons our city is so amazing. Of course, there’s no point in having a restaurant in such a unique space if it’s no good. Luckily, this New Orleans restaurant has some of the most delicious fine dining in the city, and it's positively delightful. Let's check it out.

You’ll find Bayona hidden away in the French Quarter over on Dauphine Street.

Established in 1990, this charming restaurant is housed in a creole cottage that dates back over 200 years.

There are three dining rooms, each one with their own unique elegance, charm, and atmosphere.

The beautiful courtyard is ideal for outdoor dining when the weather is cooperating.
