You can enjoy croissants, mille-feuilles and other religious dishes, but also duck with orange sauce, scallop risotto and beef bourguignon...

UPPERLINE RESTAURANT
Read moreAfter a quarter of an hour (by car, rather half an hour by tram and foot) after the Old Square, you will see a brick facade, but decorated with frescoes by the painter Martin LaBorde. Upperline is a music and graphic arts palace as well as a culinary spectacle. All that is best in Creole cuisine is formidably successful by chef Dave Bridges, born here in New Orleans. The menu is a true summary of what is divinely good in Louisiana's cuisine cuisine, such as shrimp bisque or massive and tartar to shrimp. The subtle touch of spices and original sauces.
JoAnn Clevenger, owner of the restaurant, will take care of you and exchange a few words with you! A real character, not taking seriously, she says it takes at least once a day to give up and make the crazy to redo full energy. The positive energy that emerges when you cross it! Coming from an extremely besogneux farm family, she decided to elect home in New Orleans, falling in love with the Old Square, her characters and her vitality. Without a penny, she took the risk of opening the Upperline restaurant in 1983. Soon, he was fascinated by criticism and received many awards, but JoAnn had a lot of passion and stubbornness to make it a profitable business. Passionate about literature, painting, music and human relations, she is a true cultural ambassador, who keeps up-to-date with the Fiche (best-of) artistic and literary lagniappe of New Orleans, which she makes available to amateur clients. In the restaurant is exposed all that the city has recognized artists and amounts.
CRAZY 'BOUT CRAWFISH
Read moreWith such a "Crayfish Fans" name, we have no doubt that the establishment's star is the little orange cute of the Louisiana marshes. When it's the season, there's plenty of room coming in this dinner/' lowdown to enjoy crayfish. The rest of the year, the place loses a little interest, although there are always seafood and fried fish.
B&C SEAFOOD RIVERSIDE & CAJUN RESTAURANT
Read moreLocated next to Laura plantation, this typical restaurant offers fresh seafood locally caught, gumbos, po-boys, salads and Acadian specialities.
BISTRO DU COIN

A good, relaxed atmosphere. The French community is there to celebrate the new Beaujolais or July 14 th. Good wine list.
CAJUN CRITTERS
Read moreOnce housed in a much smaller venue, the restaurant was struck by lightning and caught fire in January 2017. So the locals were delighted to welcome its reopening three months later in a much larger facility. A touch of Cajun decor depicting life in the swamp and, on the plate, signature specialties, mostly gumbo and seafood. The boiled specialties of the house are the most popular. Crayfish and blue crabs are only served during the season.
CHICKEN ON THE BAYOU & BOUDIN SHOP
Read moreLocated on the edge of the expressway, an authentic boui-boui that doubles as an eclectic restaurant and store. You'll order blood sausage, cracklins, fried seafood, po-boy or fried chicken, for example, at the counter, and sit at the row of tables that sit in the middle of what looks like a grocery store from another time. You will also find frozen meat, spices of all kinds, hot sauces, souvenirs, etc.
NAPOLEON HOUSE
Read moreNapoleon House is a good place to have a bite to eat in the French Quarter. We like the cozy setting of this popular tavern with its vintage decor and dimmed lights. The Cajun specialties, such as chicken and sausage jambalaya or seafood gumbo, as well as other local dishes, such as muffulettas (one of the great specialties of the place), po-boys and various sandwiches, are simple but greedy. The interior courtyard is also a very pleasant place to sit. A must try: the Pimm's Cup Original cocktail.
THE COVE RESTAURANT
Read moreIt is difficult to find a good table for the French taste buds in Long Beach. But the Golf Club restaurant is a great opportunity to try out seafood specialities. The freshly seared tuna with its sesame and ginger wasabi salad is a delight. During the day, salads and sandwiches are served more than dishes.
MOLLY'S FAMILY RESTAURANT
Read moreFamily cuisine and local hospitality, here we come for breakfasts and other very simple dishes served in gargantuan portions. Not great food, but perfect to satisfy the stomachs with simple and fresh ingredients at a low price.
MAISON SOULE & THE PARIS ROOM
Read moreParis view by the Americans always smiles, here is only chic, doughnuts, crêpes and Eiffel tower… You can get carried with pleasure in the cliché, just the time of a cheese platter or a grandmother way. While discovering more than amazing associations, such as the crepe with dry sausage (which is actually du) or shrimp (rather successful). A good lunch option.
CRAWDADDY'S KITCHEN
Read moreCrayfish is once again in the spotlight here, in pie, gumbo, etouffee, boiled, fried, with French fries or corn. But there are other options as well, such as chicken and andouille gumbo, fried alligator, stuffed shrimp, half dozen fried oysters, po-boys, jambalaya, seafood tacos, red bean and rice plate, fried chicken and waffle combo and tutti quanti. Among the desserts, we recommend the New Orleans bread pudding or the famous fried beignets.
THE FRANCIS SOUTHERN TABLE & BAR
Read moreBetween the bar that occupies a central island and around which one can sit in a popular atmosphere, the different rooms on the first floor or upstairs or the pleasant courtyard with trees and garlands, there is plenty of room at The Francis. On the menu, you'll find classic dishes from the American South, including crawfish specialties, fried dishes and, of course, the traditional po-boys. The dishes are rather copious and greedy and the atmosphere is often electric.
MONTMARTRE
Read moreThe owners, originating in Picardy, offer good French 100%-French cuisine (braised braised, jacques nuts, etc.). Prices are honourable, which explains the success of the place. At midday, you can order lighter dishes such as quiches, sandwiches and salads. A relaxed atmosphere.
THE RITZ CARLTON
Read moreThis restaurant in the Ritz Carlton has the advantage of a magnificent terrace with a view of the sea. When the weather is fine, it is really a must at sunset, especially for a romantic dinner. On the flat side, good seafood products are in the spotlight. We recommend the lighthouse tower, a creamy sea tour with shrimp, crab, oysters, tuna tartar and ceviche. The burrata with beets is also a success and will appeal particularly to vegetarians. Don't miss the crispy caramelized scallops either.... Good address for fine palates.
RESTAURANT AUGUST
Read moreJohn Besh is recognized as one of the top chefs in the United States. His cuisine is a reverence to the local culture. The welcome and service are impeccable, like in a great French house. The restaurant's setting is incredible, and you feel like you're in a very chic place as soon as you enter. The cuisine is on par with the decor. The taste and quality of each dish is a must. The prices are sometimes a little too high for what's on the plate, especially for the cheese plate. But eating at John Besh is an experience in itself.
BRENNAN'S
Read moreBrennan's is known for two things: its extensive cocktail menu and its award-winning chef Ryan Hacker, who devotes all his knowledge and talent to the restaurant's Creole menu. You can start with one of the classic house cocktails (dubbed eye openers ) before checking out the bold menu, whether for brunch or dinner. Everything is delicious, not to mention the decor, which is absolutely sumptuous. A small courtyard is a perfect place to sip your coffee.
TANTE MARIE

GREAT STATE BURGER
Read moreWhat could be more invigorating than a burger when you have a meagre budget? This fast food gourmet made in Seattle is the perfect break if you're in the new Amazon headquarters district north of Downtown. Hipster graphic codes, organic and local ingredient choices: it offers guarantees of quality and durability that distinguish it, such as buying whole Black Angus cows that have lived in the well-being of a Washington ranch's pastures.
BAYOU DELIGHT RESTAURANT
Read moreOf course, the place does not look like much. But trust the locals, if they send you there it's for a good reason. The food is pretty good and the atmosphere is pretty great. Among the specialties to try: fried chicken, po-boys, boudin bites and fried shrimps. On Saturday nights, all the surrounding villages seem to gather here to dance a few steps (live Cajun music on weekends). It's the perfect way to recharge after Mark Miller's swamp tour that leaves from the restaurant's dock.
