Dieses Restaurant, das 1996 den Preis für "das beste Restaurant in den Vereinigten Staaten" von der James Beard Stiftung bekam, ist schon wegen der herausragenden Küche ein einmaliges Erlebnis. Außerdem ist das Personal sehr freundlich und aufmerksam. Das viktorianische Haus von 1880 liegt im Garden Viertel und bietet den Gästen mehrere, verschieden große Speiseräume. Beim Brunch am Sonntag sollte man darauf achten, ein Jacket zu tragen. Jeden Abend wird ein Menu mit mehreren Gängen zu einem festen Preis um USD35 serviert. Außerdem gibt es immer neue Angebote und die Möglichkeit, Gerichte aus der normalen Menukarte zu mischen. Die Schildkrötensuppe ist hervorragend, aber auch die gebratene Wachtel mit Langustenwürstchen ist empfehlenswert. Auf der ausgezeichneten Weinkarte gibt es Vorschläge für jedes Gericht.

Dieses Lokal ist ein zeitloses Restaurant in New Orleans, das seit seiner Eröffnung 1910 immer berühmt und begehrt war. Das Acme Oyster House (dt. Acme Austernhaus) befindet sich gleich neben der Bourbon Street und bietet eine echte Kostprobe von New Orleans in einer etwas geräuschvollen, aber sehr zwanglosen Atmosphäre. Das Essen sollte man sich absolut nicht entgehen lassen. Eine Neonreklame lädt alle Einheimischen und Touristen ein, die hungrig sind und Lust haben, die berühmten Austern für nur USD 9.45 (EUR 10,40) zu geniessen. Falls Austern nicht zu den persönlichen Lieblingsspeisen zählt, sollte man die bekannten Poopas probieren, ein französchisches Baguette, gefüllt mit Wurst und großen Schrimps, oder eine Schüssel mit roten Bohnen und Reis und Wurst als Beilage. Dieser Favorit kostet USD6.95.
Schon seit 1862 bietet dieser original französische Kaffee-Marktstand schwarzen Kaffee und Cappuchino, Beignets (dt. eine Kuchenart), Milch, heiße Schokolade und frisch gepressten Orangensaft. Das Café ist 7 Tage die Woche 24 Stunden geöffnet, außer am 1. Weihnachtsfeiertag, und ist in New Orleans einer der bekanntesten und beliebtesten Treffpunkte für Singles, Pärchen und Familien. Während der geschäftigsten Zeit am Morgen kann es vorkommen, dass man auf einen Tisch warten muss. Der Kaffee ist auf jeden Fall gut, aber die meisten Leute kommen wegen der Beignets, die frisch aus dem Backofen kommen. Sie werden in so großer Eile zu den Tischen gebracht, daß sie noch warm sind und der erste Bissen buchstäblich auf der Zunge schmilzt.
