A wine & cheese shop, serious kitchen, live music venue, and fun bar all rolled into one. Hand the cheese you buy to the cashier along with $5; you'll get extra grilled bread & cheese plate fixin's.
A "MUST EAT" destination while here. Fried/grilled oysters are unreal. Fried alligator bites. Anything porky or seafoody or beefy is amazing here, as are the libations.
The menu features rustic Italian food, with dishes like affettati misti (salumi and cheeses), braciole di capretto (slow-roasted goat) and octopus terrine.
Great atmosphere inside or outside al fresco. Call ahead for reservations. Food... Fantastic!
Grilled shrimp po boy, side of dirty rice, abita out of a paper bag... Maybe my favorite place ever...
Amazing food. Friendly staff. Sit outside in the courtyard in the shade. Great place!!!! A must for brunch.
Get there early & enjoy your food in a relatively quiet & peaceful bar setting, or get there late, dance your ass off, & feed your soul. Get the patatas bravas & thank us later. [Eater 38 Member]
New American, gastropub-style restaurant in the Quarter helmed by Chef Alex Harrell. Widely acclaimed as a very high-end restaurant at a price point that’s high but not terrifying. [Eater 38 Member]
Atchafalaya is an underlooked brunch gem. Be on the lookout for the duck hash, AND the “Eggs Treme”; a Benedict variation featuring a boudin cake, poached eggs, popcorn crawfish, and hollandaise. Read more.
It’s impossible to say any shop has the best po’ boys, but they make a strong claim to that title here. They’re expensive for po’ boys, but they’re large and worth every penny. [Eater 38 Member]
A bartender saw us languishing in the crowded bar and took us through the dining room into an unmarked cocktail bar called Richelieu. Do that.
If you come here without getting the charbroiled oysters you've practically committed a sin.
A little gem way down in the Upper Ninth Ward, Elizabeth's is a great spot for brunch or, really, any meal. [Eater 38 Member]
For decor, local renown, and general deliciousness, Casamento’s is hard to beat. You can’t go wrong with the chargrilled or raw oysters or the legendary oyster loaf. [Eater 38 Member]
Noted as one of the 4 Great Brunch Spots in New Orleans by The Daily Meal. Read more.
The fried chicken rivals that at nearby Willie Mae’s, and the fried catfish will be some of the best you’ve ever had. [Eater 38 Member]
Yes, gentlemen, jackets are required at this one-of-a-kind French Quarter classic founded in 1905. The menu doesn't change (order oysters Rockefeller and souffléed potatoes), nor do the charming waite Read more.
One of New Orleans's most famous watering holes, this circus-themed piano bar has a carousel on its revolving bar.
as a local, I think this is the best gumbo in the city...but i'm ready to be proved wrong though ;)
Amazing fried chicken, often called the best in town. The food and atmosphere are quintessential New Orleans, among the best you’ll find in town. [Eater 38 Member]
The signature dish—sesame-crusted, shallow-fried rabbit served with mustard sauce—is a masterful blend of Cajun ingredients and Creole technique. More places to eat like a local: tandl.me/12ufz7c
A beat-up joint described by Zagat as "where the not-so-elite meet to eat". Perfect description. If it's your first meal in NOLA, try their Cajun chicken and jambalaya supreme.
This Bywater restaurant serves Stumptown coffee and local pastries for breakfast, and a variety of street food, from ceviche to banh mi, for lunch and dinner. [Eater 38 Member]
It may come off as a bit touristy, but if you're around the Quarter/CBD, a dozen broiled oysters and a Bloody Mary make for a quick, satisfying lunch. [Eater 38 Member]
Where else in the world can you find a Crawfish Dog? Only in NOLA! Do it! Crawfish Étouffée Dog (crawfish sausage, crawfish étouffée, sour cream, onion, tomato, creole mustard) Diet starts tomorrow!😁
Best meal I've had yet since movin here and as a chef, I eat out a lot. Beef Bone Marrow dish should b outlawed its so good. As far as the noise, I like it, very communal n the service is impeccable!
If you are in french quarter and you don't like crowded placed, this is perfect. Relaxing atmosphere, good coffee and terrific sandwiches. There are green salads as well!
Although the food was great, the restaurant itself is a little too loud and modern for my taste. Not exactly what I'm looking for when I come to New Orleans.
Go ahead--Get the Ray Ray. It's like eating a butter-encrusted Rib Eye, smoking a good cigar and finishing off a single malt all in one po-boy.
Good God. Try the Muffaletta. It's the most amazing Italian Sandwich I've ever had. The stuff I dream about when I want to be eating. It's that good.
This newly-rebuilt restaurant has been in operation since 1932 and is loved by everyone who visits. The specialties are New Orleans favorites, like turtle soup and trout amandine.
If you're looking to get seafood IMMEDIATELY after landing in New Orleans, this place is really close to the airport and delicious! Crawfish Etouffee and shrimp poboy were great.
