The restaurants of New Orleans pride themselves on offering some of the finest food in North America, with their unique mix of French and Creole style creating a heady choice.
In the French Quarter itself there is a wide choice of dining spots that offer something for every budget, from the jazz cafes, where wholesome no frills soul food is served against a backdrop of live music, to the fashionable French restaurants along Bourbon street, where the finest food is served in a refined atmosphere, and you feel underdressed in less than a tuxedo, and everything in between.
Highly recommended are Pascale's Manale, which offers a fine Barbeque Shrimp as its speciality, and also Mike Anderson's Seafood Restaurant on Bourbon Street.
