The popular neon sign beckons locals and tourists to the trademark oysters at an unbeatably low price. If oysters do not tempt your taste buds, try the restaurant's famous Poopas, a French bread bowl filled with sausage and shrimp gumbo or red beans and rice with sausage on the side.

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 traditional seafood restaurant serves large portions of Gulf Coast seafood at reasonable prices. The interior of the restaurant is like an elegant ballroom crossed with an old brick warehouse. Crystal chandeliers and dinnerware mingle with exposed steel pipes and cracked walls. Menu items include gumbos, salads and charbroiled selections. Specific crowd pleasers include the Soft-Shell Crawfish and Trout Henry. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Across from the City Park, this re-creation of a Prohibition-era bistro occupies one of the few buildings left from the Storyville era. Stylish art-deco makes this historic structure a marvelous setting for the seafood and steak specialties. Balcony dining is available when weather permits. From broiled cold-water lobster, fresh trout and superb steak, the contemporary Creole fare takes centerstage in here. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Casual, energetic Brennan creation |
115 Bourbon Street New Orleans, LA 70130 United States +1 504 598 1200 http://www.redfishgrill.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. Ralph Brennan, of the city's well-known restaurant clan, owns this casual, high-energy grill. This festive atmosphere holds true to the city it inhabits. A large central dining room is surrounded on three sides by banquettes, and a huge oyster bar is covered with images of the seafood that is also the focus of the menu. The kitchen produces a delicious barbecue shrimp po'boy, seafood gumbo with nuggets of alligator sausage and baked oysters on the half shell. The signature dessert is a variation of bananas foster.

Latin Flavors Were Never So Good |
800 South Peters Street Corner of Julia and South Peter Streets New Orleans, LA 70130-1708 United States +1 504 525 3474 http://www.riomarseafood.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. Yummy Latin flavors and simple delicious cooking draws hoards to Rio Mar, the seafood specialty restaurant. Fresh seafood is cooked with a Spanish and Latin American kick which brings out the unique flavor of the dishes. The Ecuadorian ceviches with fresh shrimp, ripe-red tomatoes and citrus juices makes your tastebuds sing! Relish the Gulf fish grilled with peppers, olives and caper. The wine list is expansive with everything from "sparkling' to 'red' and 'white' wines available. A beautifully presented and exceptional cuisine, warm wait-staff, a broad menu, lovely decor, isn't that the perfect recipe? Review © 2007, Wcities |

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 French Quarter, this sushi restaurant is one of the offshoots of the popular chain of Japanese restaurants in the South. It is frequented by locals because of it's popular and extensive menu—more than 20 selections of rolls are on offer. Those paranoid about raw food can rest easy; cooked seafood items feature on the list as well. Patrons keep returning for more teriyaki and tempura, among other delicacies. A wide selection of Japanese beer and sake helps ease down the fare with aplomb, so dig in! Review © 2007, Wcities |
