New Orleans Restaurant Week begins June 17

Dig in: More than six dozen restaurants across the metro are participating this year, from French Quarter grand dames like Antoine's and Brennan's to newer kids on the block like plates and The Chloe.

• Although each venue makes its own Restaurant Week menu, the general rules are the same.
• Expect a multicourse, fixed-price menu at a great deal. Drinks are priced separately.

Zoom in: At Sylvain, the menu includes a swordfish piccata, smoked creole fish dip and blue upside down cake for $60.

• Pascal's Manale has a $38 menu with caprese salad, lasagna and bread pudding.
• And Nirvana has two options, one for lunch ($15) and one for dinner ($20).
