One more thing ... try Antoine's Lunch Special. It is now $20.19 and can't be beat for the price. It includes three drinks, appetizer, entree and a dessert. And you get to enjoy the full elegance of the establishment.

By the way, if you got the special back in 1967 it would have cost you $19.67. It's becoming a better deal every year.

Another great little known New Orleans tradition. We go there once every trip.

I forgot about this. Guido is right, it really can’t be beat and like I said it’s the pinnacle of old school New Orleans fine dining. Restaurants that have full brigade service like that are soon going to be a thing of the past. You need to try it just for the life experience. Get the soufflé potatoes. Not what you think. Potatoes sliced thin lengthwise and fried until the puff up served with bearnaise.

I second Dragos but only the one in Metairie.
Make sure you try a food truck. La Cocinita, Bonafried, Fete au Fete, taceaux loceaux are all good for a quick bite.

Willy Mae’s is touristy now but probably something you should do. Not often will you find a James Beard award winning soul food joint. (Edit Dookie Chase but Willies is alright too)

If you find yourself drunk in Mid City go to Beachcorner for awesome burgers cooked and served by hotties with big Ta Tas in bikini tops. They really know how to work a griddle.
