I am in New Orleans for a few days. I am looking for a restaurant with atmosphere that is not a tourist trap and that I won%26#39;t be spending $100 for a dinner for 2. All kinds of food is OK. French quarter is preferred but we will travel if it is worthwhile.
Reasonably priced dinners
I%26#39;m not sure exactly what you%26#39;re asking but you can get good casual meals at places like EAT, Louisiana Pizza Kitchen, Port of Call, etc for $25-30 for two.
Reasonably priced dinners
Breakfast options:
Clover Grill
Petunia%26#39;s
Lunch/Dinner:
Port of Call
Praline Connection (on Frenchman St.)
Yo Momma%26#39;s (another good burger)
Napoloeon House (not too tourist-trappy)
Fiorella%26#39;s
These are all casual and hit the spot depending on what you%26#39;re hungry for.
Yo Mama%26#39;s has the best homemade hamburgers (with a salad or bake potatoe) and gumbo for abour $8 each, just off Bourbon at the 700 block.
Country Flame has fair steaks for $12-$15 Iverbille at Exchange.
Zydeco BBQ just behind the Bourbon Cowboy has great food from $10- $15.
There%26#39;s much more if your interested. Click my name and it should show some of my pass postings on this matter.
I know my views are out of whack(i live in manhattan) but i think your choices are greater and more varied than you might think.
for dinner I would stick with a more casual atmosphere, Acme oyster
gumbo shop and coops cme to mind right away. Also, and I think this is a nice little secret, but remoulade on bourbon st. is owned by
Arnauds and they share I believe, the same kitchen. So, the turtle soup, and shrimp Arnoud are the same but the prices are cheaper.
The only thing I hope is you resist the temptation to eat at a chain.
The local food is wonderful and plentiful and worth the research.
Enjoy!
';Fiorella%26#39;s';
shudder...never again...
Mona Lisa on Royal (between Barracks and Gov. Nicholls)
Lola%26#39;s on Esplanade (Near City Park)
Cafe Degas on Esplanade (Near City Park)
Jacques Imo%26#39;s on Oak (Riverbend)
Casamento%26#39;s on Magazine
Mandina%26#39;s on Canal
Adolfo%26#39;s on Frenchmen (Above Apple Barrel Bar)
Reading your posting I%26#39;m not sure if you are looking for good inexpensive dining or if you are looking for ';fine dining';. Another place I would recommend for the good inexpensive dining is Oceanana just off Bourbon at St Louis (I think St Louis, either that or the next block, the 500 block). Everything I mentioned is in the good inexpensive places line of dining. All are in the Quarter, very short walking distance apart.
I suggest you give the Superior Grill (Mexican) a try. It%26#39;s located at 3636 St. Charles Ave.. Their web addresss is www.superiorgrill.com. (Bkfst/Lunch/Dinner menu and prices included).
The atmosphere is nice, both indoor %26amp; outdoor dining, great service, and a varied menu. It%26#39;s about 1 1/2 miles east of the French Quarter on St. Charles Ave. It fits your criteria very nicely.
