Probably the most iconic restaurant in all of New Orleans. If you want to know how Creole food should be made, this spot, tucked into the beautiful Garden District, is the place to do it. James Beard winner. Has a dress code, but no jacket required.

The most famous (and best) of the many New Orleans sno-ball stands. Like most sno-ball stands, they are seasonal and close around Halloween until it gets warm again. They have won a James Beard award and seriously deserve it. Expect to have a wait when it is really hot outside.

A unique spot with great live music and excellent food. When you walk in, it will seem like a wine and cheese shop. You buy your wine or cheese and then head out back where the outdoor stage is. You will then be brought a plate of your cheese with a bunch of great crackers, veggies and spreads. They also have a changing menu. It is a very fun spot that feels special and secret.
