Best Restaurant in New Orleans

Recommended Posts

The previous poster is right, New Orleans has lots of good places. I would go to a local restaurant and stay away from any national chain. If you want very fancy I would recommend the Grill Room. It is on the second floor of the Windsor Court Hotel which is on the corner of Gravier and St. Peter behind Harrahs Casino. Emeril's, Cochon, and August are near the French Quarter. In the French Quarter are Brennans, Pat O'Brians and Nola. Ask the desk clerk of your hotel for a recommendation also.

 

There are a lot of unique places that range from reasonable to very expensive.

 

By the way, my son is a chef at the Grill Room so I'm kind of biased. But it's good food with personal service.

Going on the Star in November. Flying dow the night before and want to have a great dinner with DH and 2 sons. What are your choices and why??!!

Thanks for all your help!:)

 

I might be able to help.

 

First question, Where are you staying the one night you are down here?

 

Second question, how many in your party?

 

Are there any children and how old (pre-teens or what?)

 

Do you to dress up or wear just casual (no jeans or shorts)?

 

I assume you prefer seafood since you are not a local.

 

Reply and I can give a few restaurants that I would dine in.

We are from New Jersey, looking for good local fare! Myself, husband, 2 boys 14 and 10. Casual dress. Not sure where we are spending the night yet. That was going to be my next thread! Don't want to rent a car, so most likely right in the heart of things.

Thanks sooo much for all your suggestions!

Here's one of my fav's!:D http://www.chefpaul.com/kpaul

 

We loved Deanie's for seafood and Mr. B's for a fun, eceletic dinner to satisfy all our tastes. Agree that KPaul's is wonderful, but we were too jetlaged flying in from the West Coast with the needed layover, so I changed dinner there to a super amazing lunch there the next day...

 

Sample menu at the link above will also show a representative lunch menu...fun, relatively fast and oh oh oh so inexpensive. BTW: the chicken and andouille sausage gumbo, halibut and chips and homemade bread pudding were tdf and DH seemed happy with his roast beef po' boy...:D

I was wondering if anyone has eaten at Drago's? I was looking at that for some grilled oysters.

 

Let me know if anyone else has been here.

Drago's is very good. There is on located in the Hilton Riverside and the main restaurant is located in Metairie (Fat City). It is worth the trip to Metairie.

Besides the char-grilled oysters, They have great seafood and some exceptional pasta dishes.
