What is Savor St. Bernard?

Savor St. Bernard is a first-of-its-kind, parish-wide food celebration showcasing the flavors, stories, and spirit of St. Bernard Parish. From po’ boy counters to seafood gems, participating restaurants will offer a ‘Savor Special’ — an exclusive menu item or deal — to give locals and visitors a delicious reason to explore and support our local dining scene. Whether you’re a family-run staple or a new neighborhood favorite, this event shines a spotlight on all local cuisine — and helps turn first-time diners into loyal customers. 

Why are we doing this?

St. Bernard Parish has one of the richest, most authentic culinary scenes in Louisiana — but it’s too often overlooked. Just minutes from New Orleans, we’re a parish without a major interstate, making us feel like an “island” passed over by visitors who don’t yet know what they’re missing. Our restaurants are more than places to eat — they’re community staples run by families, chefs, and seafood suppliers who pour their pride into every plate. Now, 20 years after Hurricane Katrina, Savor St. Bernard is a celebration of that resilience. It’s a way to honor the businesses that stood tall, the flavors that define us, and the stories that make this parish feel like home. 

This campaign was created to:

  • Boost sales and visibility for local restaurants

  • Encourage locals to try somewhere new

  • Give regional visitors an easy, exciting reason to make the drive 

  • Showcase the parish’s unbeatable seafood and culture

  • Shine a light on the small businesses at the heart of our recovery and growth

It’s time the world stopped overlooking St. Bernard. We’re not a secret anymore — we’re a destination.
