Answer 2

I'm born and raised in New Orleans and swear that I haven't tried half of the great restaurants in New Orleans. Some of my favorites include:

Red Fish Grille (on Bourbon St. a block off Canal) or

Mr. B's (another Brennan restaurant)

The Bombay Club on Conti St. (pricey but always worth it)

Maspero's (across from Jax)

Sweet, Fire & Ice (in Metarie just past the parish line)

Lil Dizzy's on Esplanade Avenue is great and inexpensive (Baquet Family)

Two Sisters (hole in the wall, but some of the best soul food ever)

These are just some of my faves, all of the restaurants named here are really good!!!

Answer 3

My 2 fav's that I must revisit EVERYTIME I make it back to "The Big Easy" . . .

The Old Coffee Pot Restaurant
714 Saint Peter St @ Royal
[phone]

The atmosphere was wonderful, the place itself was like being in another time, and the food was excellent! The service was beyond exceptional. We were given a special tour by "Guy" the maitre'd/Headchef/Bartender on that evening. We had Seafood & Gumbo for dinner, Pecan pie for dessert, and specially prepared beverages. Overall meal and pricing was the best ever compared to the more premiere restaurants in New Orleans. Guy was an awsome conversationalist and really made us feel at home. Can't wait to go back for another visit.

Praline Connection
542 Frenchmen St
[phone]

There are no gray areas at Praline Connection--from the tiled floors and chairs to the plastic tablecloths, all is black and white. And the waitstaff, who wear black fedoras, aren't too shy to guide your ordering to suit your tastes. The menu is spicy and homey with offerings like crowder peas with okra and rice, red beans and rice, wonderfully stuffed bell peppers, and fried chicken. And, in fine tradition, portions are large. All meals come with a choice of mustard, collard or cabbage greens and a choice of red, white or lima beans or the crowder peas and okra. If you're not in the mood for spice, try the ribs--the meat falls off the bone and melts in the mouth. On Sundays, Praline Connection's Warehouse District location hosts a gospel jazz brunch, one of the best and most authentic of its kind in the city.

Answer 4

I haven't been to New Orleans since a month before Katrina so I'm not sure which restaurants may have reopened. My favorite was Mike Anderson's in the French Quarter. Everything I ate there was delicious. I also really like Mother's. They have true home-cooking.

Answer 5

attempt the Gentilly spicy in New Orleans East for extreme soul nutrition for lunch! they have incredible breakfast specials too! attempt Zydeque for some scrumptious bar-b-que plates.... the pulled beef is staggering! I spent a three hundred and sixty 5 days working down there after the typhoon and have been given the prospect to attempt all varieties of places! Gentilly spicy is barely open during the week, adn Zydeque is down by employing the French Quarter! in case you're no longer from the section, be careful the place you pass down there adn what situations you're in specific areas!

Answer 6

I really like Cafe Masperos which used to be or still is located across the street from JAX Brewery. It's a quaint, affordable restaurant that never disappoints me.
We tried Margaritaville and it was pretty gross.
The Ralph and Kacoos is pretty good in new orleans too...i've eaten at their restaurant in bossier city and it was yuckie.

Answer 7

Been there many, many times. The Hard Rock Cafe (near the boardwalk by the French Quarter) is good, as is Landry's right on the corner down the road from the Hard Rock. If you decide to go to Emeril's, they only accept reservations...no walk ins are accepted.

Answer 8

Cafe Du Mond for Beingeits n breakfast

Answer 9

Semolina's has great pasta
but the best place is Copeland's Cheesecake Bistro on St. Charles - the best desert you have ever eaten in your whole life!! and try their fried shrimp and sweet potato fries- the best desert is the white chocolate macadamia cheesecake

Answer 10

My absolute favorite place is Mike Anderson's. The crawfish bisque is to die for. I routinely have them ship stuff to me in Colorado and even have the phone number programmed into my cell phone.
