The chef, David Whitmore is fabulous! This is one of my favorite restaurants in NOLA. Such a fun atmosphere and amazing food. Grab a group of friends and go eat here...you won't be disappointed!
Jack Rose
Also good and consistent! The kale salad is my absolute favorite.
Juniors on Harrison
Located behind the Louisiana Children's Museum, Acorn cafe is one of my family's top spots for weekend lunch! When the weather is nice, sit outside for sure.
Acorn: A Dickie Brennan & Co. Cafe
We frequent this family owned restaurant on Canal Blvd often. My husband loves the Turtle Soup!
Mandina's Restaurant
THE BEST STEAK in the city!!! This is a no frills streak house, it's old school and I love it. My husband and I go at least every two months because it's that good.
Crescent City Steak House
I know it's called a seafood and steakhouse BUT I always get an Italian dish, lol, it's so good. The artichoke appetizer is fantastic.
Austins Seafood & Steakhouse
This is in my top 10 for date nights! It's a small intimate, relaxed vibe with delicious food.
ANNUNCIATION Restaurant & Bar
Another great spot for a date night! It's a nice atmosphere and the food is always good
The Pelican Club
Blue Oak never disappoints! This is our family favorite for BBQ. The brisket is amazing and I love getting the nachos with the meat of the day on top.
Blue Oak BBQ
No Thanksgiving is complete for my large Italian family without Cannolis from Angelo Brocato's!! Honestly everything here is perfect.
Angelo Brocato – A New Orleans tradition since 1905
Overlooking City Park, Ralph's is a great location with a great menu! We love going here for a nicer date night or bringing friends from out of town to have a good NOLA meal.

Muriel's has lots of history and is a true New Orleans restaurant with amazing food.
Muriel's Jackson Square
If you don't know it's there you might miss it! Bistro Daisy is small and quaint but packs a delicious meal.

I can't say enough about Lilette! The food, the ambiance is so good.
Lilette
Another favorite that just feels like home! Great staff, menu and environment.
Clancy's Restaurant
I love Meril!! This is a great restaurant to go with another couple or group of friends!
Meril
A true traditional New Orleans restaurant! A great place to celebrate a birthday or anniversary.
Commander's Palace
Probably my favorite restaurant in the French Quarter, now that Palace Cafe is closed. Always good service and great food.
Arnaud's New Orleans
Great view on the Lake! They offer more than the typical fried seafood menu and I love that. The marinated crab claws are so good.
The Blue Crab Restaurant and Oyster Bar - New Orleans
The best spot in Mid City for amazing food.
Katie's Restaurant
Great spot for a good lunch or dinner. Also has a good bar for drinks!
Pêche Seafood Grill
Located at a small airport, the restaurant has a unique atmosphere. My kids love Sunday Brunch here, sitting by the window watching the small planes.
Messina's Runway Cafe
Dare I say, the beignets are better here than Cafe du Monde! I will because they are!
Morning Call in the Oaks LLC - New Orleans, LA
I love the food and the atmosphere of this small little restaurant.
Irene's
My husband and I love this as a weekday lunch spot.
Rosedale Restaurant
Great restaurant in a great location!
Fun fact: my family owned this building and my grandfather, Dad and Uncle operated their business (New Orleans Plating & Polishing) here for over 75 years!
