 Cool Alfresco |
620 Rue Chartres New Orleans, LA 70130 United States +1 504 523 3005 http://www.thealpinebistro.com |
Due to the damage caused by Hurricane Katrina, the following description may no longer be accurate. Please consider this when making your travel plans. You haven't got the real taste of French Quarter if you have not been to Alpine Bistro, located in one of the oldest buildings. This cool and quaint joint serves cajun and creole dishes like never before. The beautiful water-fountain in the huge courtyard is perfect for a cozy twosome. Clamor for the barbecue shrimp with salad and French bread, gator sausage, broiled crawfish and gumbo! Chatty waiters entertain you as you enjoy poached eggs atop an English muffin, topped with Hollandaise with creamed spinach. Don't pass up on this one! Review © 2007, Wcities |

People watch while you dine |
1104 Harmony Street New Orleans, LA 70115 United States +1 504 895 1600 |
Due to the damage caused by Hurricane Katrina, the following description may no longer be accurate. Please consider this when making your travel plans. This is one of the most popular places to see and be seen in the French Quarter. From here, you can enjoy a bird's eye view of all the Vieux Carre activity down on always-busy Magazine Street. The combination of generous drink specials and the perfect spot for people watching draws patrons like moths to a flame. Filling fare, such as po-boys, hot wings and cheese fries are the quintessential complements for a good drink. The Balcony Burger, obviously named, is a hamburger steak patty smothered in Swiss cheese. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Light Cajun/Creole fare |
733 Toulouse Street New Orleans, LA 70130 United States +1 504 528 9206 http://www.hotelmaisondeville.... |
Due to the damage caused by Hurricane Katrina, the following description may no longer be accurate. Please consider this when making your travel plans. Located just steps from bawdy Bourbon Street, this restaurant's fans come from miles around to get a taste of Creole-American combos with a modern twist. This intimate little bistro is crammed full of tables. You may even feel as though you are dining with twenty instead of just two. But the soft light of wall lamps hung to reflect light onto the impressionist oils tends to tone down the sense of claustrophobia. In pleasant weather you may dine on the umbrella-shaded patio. Creations from the kitchen reflect a light Creole taste with modern American influences. For example: barbecue shrimp with New Orleans rice cakes, smart salads, or grilled salmon with pecan flavored wild rice. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Enter the world of Forrest Gump when you dine at Bubba's in the French Quarter. Bubba Gump's has a choice of places to dine, including the private dining room, courtyard or balcony.

Due to the damage caused by Hurricane Katrina, the following description may no longer be accurate. Please consider this when making your travel plans. This restaurant is located in the historic Red Store building on the Mississippi River across the street from the French Market. The casual upscale dining rooms are simply decorated with a few paintings depicting scenes of New Orleans past and present. There is also an open air patio that offers a view of the bussling tourists and locals in the French Market. The staff is attentive and knowledgable of local cuisine. Specialties include the Pasta Jambalaya with smoked Andouille sausage with Gulf shrimp and ripe tomatoes, the Grilled Snapper Orleans topped with sauteed artichokes and mushrooms, and the Crawfish Napoleon: a stuffed pastry filled with crawfish and a spicy crème sauce.

Due to the damage caused by Hurricane Katrina, the following description may no longer be accurate. Please consider this when making your travel plans. Located in the heart of the French Quarter inside the Princess of Monaco Carriage House & Courtyard, Cafe Amelie offers a welcome refuge from the busy streets. As the former home of Alice Heine, the first American Princess of Monaco, the courtyard and carriage house provide an exquisite, romantic dining atmosphere. The kitchen uses only fresh, local ingredients for its small, but mighty menu which captures the flavor of the city with its southern Creole and Cajun cuisine. Try the New Orleans Pan Fried Crab Cakes with citrus drizzle or the Creole Lamb Chops. Dinner can get pricey, but you get what you pay for in service and ambiance.

Cajun cooking at its best |
416 Chartres Street New Orleans, LA 70130 United States +1 504 524 7394 http://www.kpauls.com/ |
Due to the damage caused by Hurricane Katrina, the following description may no longer be accurate. Please consider this when making your travel plans. This newly refurbished and expanded house, originally built in 1834, offers Cajun cuisine by Chef Paul Prudhomme, who made his debut in 1979. The main floor remains the first choice for the casual diner. The second floor is more "dressy" and requires reservations. You can also dine on the balcony or in an intimate al fresco courtyard. Chef Paul's cuisine combines Creole and Cajun into what he describes as "Louisiana cooking." Not only is his food authentic, but you would also be hard pressed to find anything fresher. K-Paul's "no freezers" rule applies to everything on the menu, so even the daily specials adhere to this high standard of culinary excellence. Fried catfish fingers and bronzed salmon are just two of the many tantalizing items on the menu. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Gourmet pizza |
611 S Carrollton Avenue New Orleans, LA 70118 United States +1 504 866 5900 |
Due to the damage caused by Hurricane Katrina, the following description may no longer be accurate. Please consider this when making your travel plans. This gourmet pizza establishment is great for the eyes as well as the taste buds. This dimly lit cozy restaurant features artwork by some of the best up and coming artists in New Orleans. The art rotates so frequently that each time you go there is something new to delight your eyes. The young, hip clientele arrives en mass for the wood fired gourmet pizzas. The pizza is, without a doubt, some of the best. Do not discount the many pasta dishes. The Roasted Chicken Manicotti is great teamed with a cup of their soup of the day or with a small Caesar salad.

Due to the damage caused by Hurricane Katrina, the following description may no longer be accurate. Please consider this when making your travel plans. Located on Carrollton, Mat & Naddie's is a comfortable neighborhood joint, specializing in local cuisine. For the past nine years, it has been creating New Orleanian classics consistently. Opt for patio seating that offers a fine view of horseback riders on the Riverbend! New Orleans black bean-barbecued shrimp Oysters, Rockefeller pizza appetizer are great. The Double Duck Treat presents a rare combination of breast and leg meat along with tasso-studded gumbo. The wine list is fascinatingly exhaustive and sets the mood for a romantic evening.
