Tujague’s Restaurant
Haven’t been to Tujague’s new location yet? Shame on you! Their courtyard is absolutely perfect in the fall. Do you hear that? Their brisket is calling.

The Pelican Club
We love this restaurant on Exchange Alley. If you’ve never been, you’re missing out. Chef Richard is a master in the kitchen. Let him make something special for you.

Gumbo Shop
Yeah, it’s gumbo weather, and no one does it better than the Gumbo Shop in the French Quarter. Get in a little early holiday shopping and stop by here for lunch. Heavenly.

Court of Two Sisters
This restaurant is loved by locals and visitors alike. Come make memories during brunch, lunch or dinner. It doesn’t get any more New Orleans.

Come out of your shell and dive into theirs this fall! Who doesn’t love a dozen raw or chargrilled oysters? Have you tried their Boom Boom Shrimp? What about one of their fried seafood platters? So good!

Oceana Grill
Don’t let the tourists have all the fun! Get down to Conti Street now and order the Blackened Redfish LaFourche. This restaurant does sauces really well. Get some gator bites to share.
Make reservations
Grand Isle Restaurant
One of the best places to eat on Fulton Street is Grand Isle Restaurant. They have a little item on their menu called Redfish on the Half Shell. Discover it this fall.
Make reservations
Mulate’s
Are their real Cajun restaurants in New Orleans? You bet there are! Mulate’s near the convention center is more than a meal–it’s an immersion into another culture. Order the gumbo with potato salad. TDF.
Make reservations
Byblos Mediterrean Cuisine
If you love a gyro, and who doesn’t, you must experience Byblos. We’re a big fan of their fish kabobs, too. And order the Drunken Halloumi for starters. You can’t go wrong here.
Make reservations
Café Pontalba
Visiting New Orleans? You might as well stop at Café Pontalba since you’ll probably walk by it ten times while you’re here. We’re a big fan of their “Cajun Combination”–jambalaya, a crawfish pie and a cup of gumbo. You won’t leave hungry and that’s no lie.
Make reservations
Carmo
Vegans, vegetarians and omnivores adore Carmo, a tropical café and bar in the Warehouse District. We’re big fans of the breakfast tacos. OMG.
Make reservations
Hard Rock Café
Hard Rock Café in the French Quarter celebrates the role jazz and New Orleans played in the creation of rock ‘n roll. We’re big on the One Night in Bangkok Spicyy Shrimp and their Twisted Mac, Chicken & Cheese.
Make reservations
Felix’s Restaurant and Oyster Bar
For more than 70 years, oyster lovers have flocked to Felix’s in the Quarter for oysters anyway you can imagine – raw, Bienville, char-grilled, Rockefeller…you name it. Their fried meat pies are legendary as well.
Make reservations
Olde NOLA Cookery
Most people don’t realize that there are great restaurants on Bourbon Street. Olde NOLA Cookery is a favorite of people in the know. Got the munchies? Their Louisiana Crabmeat Cakes appetizer served with a crawfish and mushroom cream sauce is killer.
