I'm no Fearnley-Whittingstall but do get a lot of requests for dining recs in the Crescent City. Now, I can just send you a link to this page :)
| PLACE | HOOD | TYPE | NOTES |
|---|---|---|---|
| Clancy's | Uptown | Fine Dining |
My favorite restaurant in the city. Veal Annunciation is a must try here. |
| August | CBD | Fine Dining |
Probably the nicest establishment in the city. This is the closest you will get to a Michelin restaurant in NOLA. |
| Galatoire's | FQ | Fine Dining |
Awesome spot / good meal in the heart of the quarter. |
| Jacques-Imo's | Uptown | Casual | Feels and tastes like New Orleans. Wait can be long but well worth it. |
| Mr. B's | FQ | Casual | Best BBQ Shrimp in town. |
| The Joint |
Bywater | Casual | Best BBQ in town. |
| Elizabeth's | Bywater | Casual | Great spot in the Bywater. |
| Atchafalaya | Uptown | Fine Dining |
Cool uptown spot with a great menu. Try the duck-fat-infused Sazerac to get started. |
| Camellia Grill | Uptown | Casual | Think Waffle House NOLA style. |
| La Petite Grocery | Uptown |
Fine Dining |
Nice spot right on Magazine Street. Must try the blue crab beignets. |
| Casamento's | Uptown | Casual | Best loafs in town (if they happen to be open) right on Magazine. |
| Bistro Daisy | Uptown | Fine Dining |
Local spot with a great vibe. This is one of my favorite restaurants in the city. |
| Moscas | Westbank (30 min away) | Casual | This is always a fun place if you have time to make the drive out to the Westbank. Moscas is an old mob joint. The fried chicken and oysters mosca are a must here. |
