Oysters only available Monday/Wednesday. The shrimp is good but the line gets crazy-long. You can go inside to the bar and order from the same menu.
Classic New Orleans cuisine. They do beautiful things with crab and crawfish. Right on Canal so it's easy to hop a streetcar to/from the quarter.
Right around the corner from Cochon restaurant, killer sandwiches and charcuterie. Get some tasso ham to take home!
Incredible. The fried bread, grilled royal red shrimp, brussels sprouts with chili vinegar: all were simply stunning. Best restaurant we visited in our week in New Orleans.
Stellar tiki drinks (don't be afraid to go off-menu: the bitter mai tai is amazing) and excellent food (fried ribs, corn with habanero mayo, tostones). The patio is an oasis when the weather's nice.
The foie burger is a ludicrous and delicious dish. The shrimp pintxo with the grilled pineapple: win.
Fantastic tasting menu. If you're look to splurge on a cajun/creole inspired treat, this is the place.
Cajun classics done right. If you need an introduction to cajun cuisine, this is as good a place to start as any. Étouffée, jambalaya, gumbo, the list goes on and on. Great fried catfish too.
Belly up to the bar (right at the front) and get a beer and shoot the shit with your oyster shucker.
Excellent espresso from a rotating cast of roasters from around the country. If you're into third-wave coffee, this is place to go. Currently pulling: Passion House from Chicago. It's excellent.
Lovely shots of Four Barrel in a bike shop. Feels like a scene straight out of San Francisco (in a good way).
Have the eponymous drink (it's delicious) and then if it's not too busy, have Vince make you something off-menu.
It's a pain to get out here without a car, but trust me: it's worth the cabfare there and back. Best cocktail bar in town: inventive recipes, new flavors, all perfectly crafted.
Get a barstool if you can. Order a Vieux Carré and while the world is spinning around you, imagine what this place was like when the drink was invented here in 1938.
There's usually a cover, but they've got the best booze on Frenchmen St, and the tunes are great. Once you've paid the cover you can come and go as you like (with your beverage in a to-go cup).
Awesome tiny little jazz club across the street from d.b.a. The seats by the windows are great for people-watching.
They opened a week ago and aren't pouring their own beer yet. That said, if the quality of the tap list is any indication, they're gonna be a shining beacon of hops in an otherwise hop-poor town.
