Brennen’s

You’ll enjoy Brennen’s for the atmosphere as much as the food. This New Orleans staple is known for its bright pink building, along with its lush courtyard and turtle pond. And while you can get a delicious lunch or dinner at Brennen’s, Sunday brunch is where this NOLA classic shines.

Arnaud’s 

At Arnaud’s you’ll get a delicious meal and a history lesson. The turn-of-the-century dining room is a throw-back to New Orleans of years gone by. And you can continue the nostalgia with a visit to the restaurant’s Mardi Gras museum while you wait for a table.

Dooky Chase’s

For soul food with Creole flair, Dooky Chase’s is the place to be. Owned and operated by chef Leah Chase, the inspiration behind Disney’s Princess Tiana, this fun New Orleans eatery features tons of traditional Creole dishes, from red beans and rice to shrimp Clemenceau.

Willie Mae’s Scotch House

You can’t take a trip to the south without a plate of amazing fried chicken. The best fried chicken in the city is at Willie Mae’s Scotch House in Treme. Travelers note: All good things are worth the wait, be prepared to wait in line at this popular spot.

Domilise’s Po-Boys

Another New Orleans staple, the po-boy, is a must-eat dish during a visit to the city. For some of the best shrimp po-boys in town, visit Domilise’s Po-Boys. This popular restaurant sits in a cute yellow house Uptown and has been in business since 1918.

Café Du Monde

Whether you stop it this popular French Quarter spot for breakfast or a late night snack, Café Du Monde is a must while in New Orleans. Here, you can enjoy beignets and coffee 24 hours a day.
