We are thrilled to announce that The Bell is open! We're searching for Line Cooks and Prep Cooks to join our team.

This is the first New Orleans project from the group behind beloved Charleston restaurants Leon's Oyster Shop, Little Jack's Tavern, and Melfi's. Collectively, our restaurants have garnered local and national acclaim for delicious food, warm and sincere service, and an attention to detail. We operate neighborhood restaurants with an eye to creating reliable, consistent experiences for our customers.

The Bell, nestled along the charming tree-lined Esplanade Avenue in Bayou St. John, joins an already thriving community of restaurants in a vibrant neighborhood. We are opening a neighborhood restaurant with an "English accent." The space, designed to feel like a British pub, is warm, inviting, and fun. The menu will be seafood leaning with small touches borrowed from our favorite restaurants in London.
