6.9Friend Score / 10#16 of 20 Restaurants in New Orleans
Known forCajun samplerblackened redfishshrimp po'boyFrench onion soup
A French Quarter institution since 1788 serving classic New Orleans Creole and Cajun fare. Order the Cajun sampler to taste crawfish étouffée, jambalaya, gumbo, and red beans and rice in one plate, or go for the blackened redfish, shrimp po'boy, or French onion soup—all consistently praised. One note: service can be inconsistent (some reviewers mention inattentive servers), though staff are generally friendly and accommodating.
