The good news is that despite how busy you are, you have to eat (even your boss can’t deny this). And eating dining indulging in New Orleans is never just a meal – it’s a memory-making experience. A quick lunch bite down the street or a client dinner turns into a story you tell your friends or a meal you can’t get out of your head.
My mother always said that the best approach to having a balanced life is, “everything in moderation”. For your benefit, I’ve put this very sage advice aside, collaborated with our local New Orleans team, and crafted this restaurant recommendation list below – moderation be damned (sorry, mom)!
Before you dive in, be sure to find out how you can leverage Nth Degree’s local know-how and expertise with our union regulations guide and trade show services.
Let’s Eat - Nth Degree’s New Orleans Dining Guide:
- Cavan (the historic setting and thoughtful menu is a crowd pleaser)
- Bachanal Wine (go before the secret is out and be cooler than your colleagues)
- Mother’s (great quick breakfast, don’t let the line out the door scare you, it moves quickly)
- NOLA (one of Emeril Lagasse’s autograph restaurants, a good bet for a work dinner)
- Central Grocery (say it with me, “I’ll have the muffuletta” – it’s a little bit famous and a lot delicious)
- Red Fish (we recommend BBQ oysters and any dish with the signature Red Fish)
- Taceaux Loceaux (food truck fun - follow them on social to see their next stop)
- Mandina’s (yum lives here)
- Palace Café (electric French Quarter vibe with Creole classics)
- Acme Oyster House (you know what to order)
- Galatoire’s (loyalty to a restaurant and its staff is an understatement for locals – find out why)
- Commander’s Palace (the Jazz brunch is truly an event and worth the CC swipe)
- Deanie’s Seafood (it’s what you’d expect, seafood and a casual atmosphere)
- Café Du Monde (happiness is a warm beignet and a café au lait)
