This is a wonderful very old school New Orleans place. Excellent food, and top notch service. During lunch on week days there are .25 martinis. They do a wonderful jazz brunch on the weekends. There is a dress code, and reservations are recommended.

Delicious family run Italian Resturant, in a lovely and intimate setting off Saint Charles. You can take the Saint Charles street car which is a great ride and stop to eat there. The Corn and Crab bisque is excellent.

We don't love eating in the French quarter in general. The upscale and pricy restaurants are great, but anything cheaper tends not to be very good. This Resturant is an exception, well priced, decent food. It has a great history to it (was originally meant for Napoleon), cute patio.

Wonderful Creole food in an amazing and quirky location. This is one of our favorite restaurants in the city; try the alligator cheesecake (it is savory, not sweet). There is usually a wait though, so show up early and grab a drink at the Maple leaf bar next-door, and wander the neighborhood. They only accept reservations for parties over 5.
