Drago's NOLA at Hilton Riverside
If you’re in New Orleans and craving oysters, Drago’s is a must. This beloved, family-run spot has been serving seafood with heart since 1969—but it was their now-legendary
Charbroiled Oysters that changed the game. Invented right here in the early ’90s, these fire-grilled beauties are drenched in garlic butter, herbs, and cheeses, then cooked to sizzling perfection right in the shell. It’s no wonder the grills turn out over 900 dozen a day.
Located just outside the French Quarter at the Hilton Riverside, Drago’s is perfect for a power lunch, a casual dinner, or a pre-conference bite that feels like a true New Orleans experience. Lobster lovers, don’t sleep on the Maine imports—they’re fat, fresh, and flawlessly cooked. But make no mistake: the oysters are the star.
