Going to New Orleans
- Thread starter Salty
- Start date
Shame you arent coming next week. Fdc will be in town for Tool.
Restaurants
District Donuts My fav breakfast right now is a miso-praline bacon with fried egg biscuit sandwich washed down with a cortado.
Mopho. My fav lunch at the moment is a tom sam salad with 2 pints of local Canebreak ale. The tom sam ingredients change based on available produce, but these guys are magicians. Several great options in this farm to table spot.
Peche. For dinner, i offer you this Donald Link spot. I am all about the wood grilled whole redfish with lemon butter and salsa verde. Off the charts. Some quality small plates. Everything is line caught locally and the freshest available
Stay AWAY from Harrah's Casino!!! Been there a half dozen times or so & have NEVER won!!! Enjoy your trip!!!
EVERYTHING!!! Have been in literally a hundred casinos in my life & Harrah's-New Orleans is the worst...@ least it is for me
Good Luck & Safe Travels!!!
Good Luck & Safe Travels!!!
Nice, thanks for the feedback I appreciate it... All these places look really good... I will definatley be getting some redfish something you can't find in LA... Any suggestions on some good etouffee? One of my favorite southern dishes...
District donuts sliders and brew, that's a must....:0033

Bon ton cafe is downtown. Old school cajun outfit with all the classics. Place has been there since the 30s. Etouffee def on the menu
Jacques-imos is uptown a few doors from the Maple Leaf. Some good creole options.
La Petite Grocery...one of the best spots in town. Modern local cuisine.
Chargrilled oysters at both acme and dragos are good. Dragos has a location at the Hilton riverside and a suburban location. Acme is in the french quarter and also has a metairie location.
If you decide to have a poboy, then surf and turf at parkway bakery ia strong. Large fried shrimp and tender roastmbeef with gravy on french bread. I cant get enough....
Many more options. Let me know if you need more.
On my list is Compere Lapin. Nina compton is the chef. Carribean-creole cuisine. This will be my next dinner stop. Been open about a year and a half, i think.
North of the french quarter is the fauburg marigny. This area, particularly Frenchman St, has several live music spots. I dont go out like i used to, but was at dba recently for a quality live act. The area was just like i left it, if not more happening. I will look at the music calendar highlight a couple of the better acts as it gets closer to your visit
Good choice! Quality lunch stop with great bottle beer selection. Not many delis in these parts, so this one is mos def in my rotation. Corner Magazine/Jackson. Quick uber from downtown
Looks like we have breakfast lunch and dinner covered for five days... My gf and I love to eat and try new restaurants... Live music and booze is always a good time... Uga 12 my gf mentioned going tea place like ricks... Might have to check that out too :0074
Anyone ever been to Muriel's Jackson square ?
