The James Beard Foundation has honored Herbsaint chef-owner Donald Link with its Best Chef: South award as well as being a finalist for national Outstanding Chef nationally in 2012.
From the restaurant's website:
"Chef Donald Link's Herbsaint Bar and
Restaurant on historic Saint Charles Avenue features an acclaimed menu
with French and Italian-inspired, yet distinctive Southern dishes and a
dynamic wine list in a modern bistro setting."
James Beard Foundation: Outstanding Chef (national) finalist, 2012; Best Chef: South, 2007
"The
most indelible mark of his flagship restaurant isn't that it gave New
Orleans a sophisticated bistro against which all others now must be
measured. It is that it did so with an easy mastery of French and
Italian cookery that puts Southern cuisine, particularly Cajun and
Creole, at the center of the equation."
