8. Ruffino's

BATON ROUGE.   Recognized by residents and local publications for its welcoming atmosphere and outstanding food, Ruffino's is as good for a first date as for a comfortable dinner out with friends. A substantial menu offers all sorts of treats, from garlic-roasted chicken to pan-fried veal medallions. Steaks and pork chops also make an appearance, along with pastas, pizzas, and grilled fish and shrimp. Kids have their own brief menu, and wine dinners are hosted by the restaurant occasionally. Tasting menus available too.   (© 10Best)

Although Louisiana is known mainly for its Cajun and Creole cooking, other cuisines do exist-and even thrive-here. Ruffino's in Baton Rouge proves the point. First, try the mayhaw salad, baby spinach tossed in the mayhaw vinaigrette and topped with candied pecans and red bell pepper strips. Build your own pizza from the wood-fired oven, or try the impossible-to-resist house specialty, Fish Katie (pan-sauteed fish topped with lump crab-meat in a Creole meunière sauce).
