It really goes without saying chef Duke is truly a Louisiana Staple and Metairie is blessed to have him. You will not find anything in Metairie that you can compare it to - the food is incredible, the atmosphere is wonderful and the staff treat you like family. Dab's Bistro Feels Like Home. They feature local Italian, creole and American dishes, just a few blocks from the Lakeside Shopping Center. Great Happy our specials close to UNO, and open late. Also featuring a Ladies Night Out, grab some friends on Thursdays for a 3-course meal. If you're looking for the best food you can find in Metairie, look no further than Chef Duke's newest creation.
