David Simon’s Treme was famously a love letter to the city’s music scene, but it also embraced the destination’s food culture. Local chefs such as Emeril Lagasse, John Besh, Susan Spicer, and even Miss Linda of yak-a-mein fame either made appearances or were name-checked during the show, and many restaurants served as locations for filming individual scenes. The show also serves as a time capsule of sorts for since-shuttered restaurants of New Orleans past which were featured, including Cafe Rose Nicaud, Upperline, Coffea, Gene’s, Feelings Cafe, and Cafe Trinh Quyen, among others.

Here is a roundup of many of the restaurants directly featured on the show. You can find a map of the music venues featured here.
