Experience traditional specialties from Honduras’ central highlands to the Caribbean and Garifuna flavors of the Bay Islands
Honduran cuisine is central to New Orleans’s culinary landscape, the result of generations of Hondurans who arrived in the city beginning in the late 1800s and early 1900s. But there’s been an uptick in the opening of these multifaceted, homespun restaurants in the past few years.
From Kenner to Mid-City, Metairie to the West Bank, many of the country’s ex-pats bring classic and creatively imagined Honduran dishes to the table. While the menus may differ, the common denominator in these spots is a warm welcome, large portions, and bright, comforting flavors.
