Chalmette Restaurants

Just down the river from New Orleans in St. Bernard Parish, you’ll find Chalmette, which means Creole, French and Cajun food reign supreme. You’ll have no trouble finding a po’boy shop. These famous sandwiches are served on light French bread and piled high with fried shrimp, oysters or catfish. If a po’boy is too casual, Chalmette has all kinds of family-friendly eateries featuring favorites like soft shell crabs, red beans and rice or jambalaya made with chicken and andouille sausage. For dessert, you won’t go wrong with a warm square of bread pudding.
