Emeril's Tchoup Chop

In both atmosphere and menu, Chef Emeril Lagasse's Tchoup Chop (pronounced "chop-chop") offers diners a unique and exotic journey through the Pacific Seas. With dishes including Polynesian crab cakes, Kalua pork, and homemade coconut crème brulee, the cuisine at Tchoup Chop focuses on the islands of the Pacific with an Asian and European accent, complemented by Chef Emeril's signature bold flavors. The name of the restaurant comes from a combination of Tchoupitoulas Street, where Emeril's original restaurant is located in New Orleans, and the culinary term "chop."

Designed by the renowned Rockwell Group of New York City, the restaurant is a South-Pacific inspired paradise, with the soft color of natural woods accented by the bright colors of tropical flowers. The restaurant is designed as a space within a space, surrounded by a terrarium of lush plants, waterfalls and sculpted gardens. Polished granite wraps the floor and forms a crystal-clear pool at the center of the space. Set in a lush tropical environment, Tchoup Chop features an expo kitchen that utilizes woks and a wood-burning grill, allowing guests to catch a glimpse inside the kitchen.
