NEW ORLEANS - 11 OF THE BEST FOODIE DESTINATIONS

Seriously, we did not have a bad meal during our five day visit to The Big Easy, in which we ate out three times a day and have one very fussy six year old. 

Brennan’s Restaurant

If you love eating breakfast outside in cute courtyards, and authentic Creole cuisine, then you’ll love Brennan’s on Royal Street. It’s one of the classic New Orleans French Quarter restaurants.

Briquette

We loved the character of the place, contemporary yet casual. The tables and beams are all made from refurbished wood, there’s an open styled kitchen and a very cool looking wine display. 

Cafe Du Monde

Cafe Du Monde was established in 1862 and is on every best places to eat in New Orleans list there is, for good reason. Is it touristy? Yes, but this historic New Orleans cafe is touristy for a reason.

Dickie Brennan’s Tableau

Tableau is a member of the famed Brennan restaurant family and offers classic French-Creole cooking in an elegant 3-story townhouse with an open kitchen & balcony. The location is fantastic, right on Jackson Square, and upstairs features balcony dining with a view of the Square.

Willa Jean

What we liked about Willa Jean is that it offers a real locals vibe – just be warned this place was packed on weekends. And they served up GOOD coffee too! We loved it that much we ate there twice! 

Casamento’s Restaurant

We ordered oysters on the half shell, crab claws, fried calamari and trout with fresh homemade fries. Casamento’s is one of the top places to eat in New Orleans for authentic and affordable fresh seafood.
