Doris Metropolitan is a high-end steakhouse and butchery at 620 Chartres Street in the French Quarter, about two blocks from Jackson Square. Its kitchen blends Middle Eastern heritage with the classic chophouse, and diners come for beef that is dry-aged in-house.
Established in 2013, the restaurant pairs a sleek, modern dining room with a menu built around aged cuts and other premium meats. Seasonal sides, vegetable-forward shared plates, exotic and locally sourced seafood, and a hand-selected caviar menu fill out the offerings (source: Doris Metropolitan). Listed prices run from a $6 green salad to $82 for top steaks (source: MenuXP). Diners rate it 4.6 of 5 on Tripadvisor, where it ranks #46 of 1,483 New Orleans restaurants (source: Tripadvisor).
Visitor Highlights & Practical Info
Book ahead through OpenTable, especially for weekend nights, festival season, and Mardi Gras. Weeknight seatings early in the evening tend to be calmer, which suits couples and celebration dinners. Ask your server which dry-aged cuts are available that night, and order a few shared plates for the table. The full menu is also available to go: call the restaurant and pick up your order at the bar. Afterward, walk to Jackson Square and St. Louis Cathedral, or head toward the Mississippi riverfront.
