We visited Café Du Monde at the iconic Jackson Square location, having read all the positive reviews about their beignets. Location & Food (3/5 Stars): The location is unbeatable—right next to Jackson Square. The beignets were, as advertised, very good and a must-try New Orleans dessert. The coffee was fine, standard New Orleans coffee. Service (0/5 Stars): This is where the experience falls apart. Our server approached and immediately asked, "Do you guys want beignets? How many?" and then rudely walked away mid-sentence before we could finish deciding. The attitude was appalling. Even after we did place our order (two of the same item), she was so inattentive that she misunderstood a simple request and brought us two different versions. While not a major issue, it was yet another clear indication of her lack of focus. We waited 5-10 minutes for her return. I observed similar rude, dismissive behavior from servers at other tables. To top it off, after dropping off the order, our server waited right next to our table explicitly for a tip despite the terrible service. Practical & Legal Concerns: 1- CASH ONLY: Be prepared. This is a cash-only place. 2-No Receipts: A major concern is that they do not issue receipts, even when requested. This, combined with the servers constantly walking around counting wads of cash, suggests they may not be properly reporting their earnings and could be operating illegally. This is highly unprofessional and tacky. Conclusion: While the beignets are a New Orleans staple, I would never suggest a friend go here. The combination of rude service and shady business practices outweighs the historic location and decent food. There are plenty of other fantastic local spots to get beignets and coffee with an infinitely better experience.

Definitely the iconic spot it is heralded for. Beignets were amazing. The frozen café au lait is a perfect pairing. The jazz music outside really sets a vibe for the puffs of powdered sugar as you bite into your Beignets. Its the standard and sets the bar. Start here and then try the others. Seat yourself and someone will come to you. Sometimes that takes longer than you want. Cash only but open 24hrs!!!

What can you say about Café Du Monde? It’s iconic for a reason. The beignets are absolutely incredible — hot, fresh, perfectly crisp on the outside with a light, airy chew on the inside, and piled high with powdered sugar. I went on a busy Sunday morning and was lucky to get a seat right away, and the service was surprisingly quick given how chaotic it can get. The restaurant is very casual and crowded, with cramped tables and chairs, and the waitstaff are constantly on the move. The restrooms are limited and not the nicest, but it’s a casual spot, and the prices reflect that. I was so impressed that I went back the next day — these beignets are truly worth a visit to New Orleans on their own. I’ve been dreaming about them for years, and they exceeded every expectation. Absolutely phenomenal. 100% recommend to anyone visiting the city.

Heads up : it’s cash only, no cards accepted! That said, this place is a true New Orleans classic. Super retro vibe, often with live musicians playing nearby, which makes the whole experience even better. And the beignets? Wowwww! absolutely delicious! Of course we recommend it!

We had to visit cafe de monde, it is an institution. Super busy any time of day. Beignets are related to donuts, but not as flavorful. They are covered with heap of powered sugar, so they very messy. I saw very few people that were not covered with white powder. To stay relatively clean you have to shake off the powder first, you still get a lot of sweetness as some of it heats up and melts onto the dough. The bathroom experience was memorable. There is a long line, and there is a bathroom director who tells the next person to enter one of two bathrooms (both are either/or ) bathroom. They are the size of the air plane bathroom, dirty, with wet floor. There are no paper towels, but one can use toilet paper to dry the hands. It is an experience I will remember. P.s. cash only. A plate with thee and 2 coffees were 15 dollars.

Cafe Du Monde is the quintessential touristy place of New Orleans. If you don't visit, did you even go to The Big Easy? Beignets and coffee are the name of the game here. The beignets are coated with enough powdered sugar to tempt the Narcotics Unit to throw you behind bars. Will you find better tasting beignets in the area? For sure. But will you eat them in a place as historical and nostalgic as the city itself? Heck no! The main thing to know is this place is cash only. Also, you can purchase one of the server hats and get the cheapest souvenir in the French Market. I've eaten here early morning and late at night, and it's truly a toss-up on which vibes I liked better. In the end, you can't go wrong.

I've long heard that you have to get there SUPER early to get in line to get beignets. We went here twice and did not have to wait either time to sit down. I figured it was time of year or time of day (once was around dinner time in the evening and the other was around mid-day). Service was quick and the beignets were delicious as was the cafe au lait. Both times we visited, there was live music just outside of the patio. We didn't stick around too long after we were done, so can't speak to anything else. Would I go back here? Sure!

I had the chance to experience Preservation Hall about ten years ago, and when I returned to New Orleans recently, I didn’t think twice about going back. It was just as amazing as I remembered! The musicians are incredibly talented, and the whole experience feels so authentic. Close your eyes, and it’s like you’re in a movie ❤️absolutely magical. A must-do in NOLA!

We had a wonderful time here! Short 45 min concert but sooo entertaining! It’s a small area and you’re right there with the musicians. All of them are so talented and we enjoyed every single minute! Definitely recommend.

Great jazz venue, talented musicians, friendly staff. I highly recommend attending a concert here if you are visiting New Orleans. Sitting space fills up pretty quickly, so it’s best to purchase tickets in advance.

This was by far the most wonderful experience in such an unexpected way. It was truly authentic jazz music. We felt it in our soul and enjoyed it so much more than we ever expected. Highly recommend. We bought tickets about 2 weeks ahead of time and got to the hall about 30 minutes early. That worked out great.

Never fails to impress everytime I go. The setting is what makes it intimate. Accomodates a small group seated or standing. $25 to stand in the back for a 50 minute set in an atmosphere unlike any other is quite reasonable. An iconic must visit place for jazz/blues fans, or if you love music of any kind. Just pure beautiful acoustic music played for you, no mics or equipments. It's a experience like no other.

This was the highlight of the trip. If tickets were available, I would have spent the money to go back. If you are a fan of joy and love music this is a must stop. In a little room, 6 musicians just absolutely bring it. We spent money on front row and in all honesty, it was a steal. The only unfortunate thing is they ask you not to photograph or video. Thankfully the memories will be in my head for as long as I have my brain functions. The musicians were awesome…but a special shout out to Ronell Johnson. Not only did he rule the trombone, but stuck around after the show for pictures and laughs until we were out the door. Such an awesome dude.

Wow!!! A must go in your New Orleans visit. The highlight of our family trip… What an amazing experience. We were there on Monday, August 11 for our twins birthday. The music was unforgettable… the band members were so warm, funny and TALENTED! We would love to hear them again. Really ANY seat is perfect because it is a small venue- very intimate. Thank you for making our evening so memorable.

Known for being the oldest bar in American History. The place is certainly rustic. The service was quick, however the Hurricane wasn't great at all. The live music was great. The atmosphere gave mysterious as the space is dimly lit.

We saw the voodoo daiquiri (purple drank) in an article of must tries so when we were visiting we decided to give them a try. It didn't disappoint, we aren't big drinkers so they were strong tasting but they were well worth it. We also tried their hurricanes as we were told they were better than the originals. They were good! Not as sweet as the others.

Went to this bar to see the historic building, and it's absolutely worth a visit for the history alone. However, I was a bit disappointed with the service. I expected a little more professionalism when I asked about non-alcoholic options, and the bartender's comment about 'only serving real drinks' felt unnecessary. For someone who can't drink, it would have been nice to at least be offered a water bottle. It's a great place to visit for the atmosphere and history, but just be aware that they don't seem to cater to those looking for non-alcoholic beverages so you don’t have to go through an unnecessary comment and an unprofessional bartender

Lafitte's was one of the recommended bars for our group during our visit to New Orleans. It's almost at the end of the street when walking in the French Quarter, so it was a little far to walk, given our big group. It was a nicely themed bar, and the live music was nice. I did have to put earplugs in. It was also VERY crowded, even on a random Saturday night. I didn't order any food or drinks, probably because of the large crowd.

Lafitte’s Blacksmith Bar is one of the coolest spots in New Orleans and definitely worth a visit. I first came here years ago and spent the afternoon day drinking with some of the best Bloody Marys I’d ever had, peppery, spicy, and unforgettable. On this trip, I went back hoping to relive that experience. While the mix seems to have changed a bit and wasn’t quite as good as I remembered, it was still very solid. What really makes this place stand out, though, is the vibe. The history, the atmosphere, and the character of the bar are unlike anywhere else in the area. Even if you just stop in for a drink, it’s an experience that feels uniquely New Orleans.

Try the purple drank at one of the oldest bars in the USA! Go back in time at this spot. Good music. Sometimes it turns into a piano bar.

We always have to make a stop in LaFitte’s when we go to NOLA - I love the look and feel of the whole bar, but I especially love the piano area. I’m a sucker for a good piano singalong! I did have to knock off a couple of stars for service - there were three, male bartenders there (that we saw) on our most recent visit, and none of them were very personable. My husband went to get me a drink, and the one he went to seemed to be put off by having to serve a customer. I went back later and two others were standing together behind the bar (no line waiting when I walked up) and they were not helpful either. We decided to move along at that point. I’m sure we’ll go back on our next visit, I always like to go for the piano side - I was just a bit surprised by the service this time. Not a deal breaker - hopefully just something that can be improved on.

Woldenberg Park is a true gem. Along the Mississippi River, this beautiful park offers great views, a tranquil atmosphere, and plenty of activities to enjoy, especially in peak season. You can take a leisurely stroll along the riverwalk, sit in the shade, and watch the boats float by. The park is clean and well-maintained, making it perfect for a relaxing morning or evening walk. The park's serene ambiance is a welcome atmosphere from the hustle and bustle of Bourbon Street. You can even catch live jazz music near the paddle boats! It's an ideal spot to unwind, take in the views, and enjoy the unique blend of art, nature, and culture. Whether you're interested in history, art, or simply enjoying the outdoors, Woldenberg Park has something for everyone.

This was a nice park. I didn't see much of the park itself because I was attending the French Quarter Festival. The waterfront view of the park was really nice as well as being able to take a stroll in the boardwalk. If you're waking a dog or just out for a leisurely stroll this would be a great place to get away and enjoy. If you're visiting the area and need a break from the hustle and bustle of Bourbon Street this could be a great opportunity to take the trolley or even take a walk and get a little peace and relaxation with a view of the ships and other scenery.

Woldenberg Park is a beautiful stretch along the Mississippi River; peaceful, scenic, and perfect for a stroll. It’s clean and well-kept, with plenty of benches, sculptures, and grassy areas to relax or watch the boats go by. Located right next to the aquarium and the French Quarter. Lovely river breeze and great views.

Lovey walk along river and when French quarter festival on it is great! Well set up but still plenty of path to walk. Seeing the steamboats is great.

A really nice and big park on the Mississippi River, it’s very clean and pleasant to walk through. There are also plenty of places to sit down in the shade.

Great park, near paddle boats. Worth a sit and listen to the Jazz before the boat sets off. Clean park next to Mississippi River.

A nice place to take a walk or sit and enjoy the river. The only problem i have is seeing homeless sleeping all around.

This was a cute little aquarium. I enjoyed the fact that they had a section dedicated to Mississippi River fish and animals. It is not a huge aquarium, so it really did not take a long time to get through, even if you are reading all the displays and taking your time. I super enjoyed the insectarium. Bugs aren't for every one but the displays were nice and all the information cool.

The New Orleans Aquarium is a thoughtfully designed and truly immersive experience. The layout flows naturally; beginning with exhibits that highlight the rich local habitats of Louisiana and then gradually expanding into global regions like the Amazon and Mayan areas. Each section feels purposeful, with smooth transitions and plenty of space to linger and observe. About halfway through, there’s a well-placed café. It was a perfect pause point to grab a meal before continuing the journey. The combination of regional storytelling, diverse marine life, and beautiful display design makes this aquarium both educational and inspiring. A fantastic experience and highlight of New Orleans.

So we jumped on the website for the zoo and bought the three attractions package! It's VERY WORTH IT!!!! The insectarium and the aquarium are together and then it's a 20 Min ride up to the zoo. We had a blast! Get the bundle deal! The butterflys are so awesome, they will land on you. I got some great shots of the big ones! At the aquarium there is a penguin ( he is in the photos ) His name is flippy.....HE LOVES THE CAMERA!

Nice aquarium. Definitely pricer (and newer) than the zoo. It can be a little crowded, but overall was a good trip. I would definitely go again. Their variety was really neat and I felt the enclosures for the sea life was top notch.

Our grandson LOVED the special exhibit of mythical creatures! He HAD to get on every single one that had a saddle !!! It made my soul so happy to see him rolling/ running down monkey hill! That marks the 4th generation of my family that has played on that hill!! It brought tears to my eyes!!! The thing he loved the absolute best was seeing the sea lions!!

Very nice aquarium with lots to read and see! Several large tanks, plus a tunnel! We got to meet a mermaid! Admission price includes the Insect side too, which was nice as well!

Having been to the GA aquarium my expectations are fairly high. This aquarium does have plenty of fish and things to see but doesn't have any wow factor fish until the end of the exhibit. Definitely a great place to bring your kids and they will surely love it. They have a cool area that has baby gators and are super cool to see up close!

I did not expect a tiny little burger grill to be the place I hit up twice in a 2 day trip to NOLA but this beef burger was one of the best I have ever had in my life so couldn’t help myself. I don’t even understand how or why it was as good as it was because it looks like any old burger but it was seriously amazing. Just simple food with every detail done to absolute perfection I guess. My partner had the chicken sandwhich our first visit and said it was a 10/10 too. The vibe here is great, super cute interior and the location is so close to where you’re probably gonna be on bourbon street so easy to pop in and I highly reccomend you do. I also want to comment on the service from the staff as I did see quite a few comments talking this down - both times we went we had a diffeeent server and they were both really lovely and attentive. They were friendly, Made sure we had everything we needed and seemed to genuinely care about delivering good service which wasn’t the case everywhere we went in the French quarter. 10/10, you gotta go here at least once but more likely, you’ll end up back twice.

Kat was phenomenal. She welcomed everyone inside and got our group of four seated quickly. She took our drink order, and made us laugh right off the bat. Very pleased to have her attend to our lunch, which was extremely delicious. I had the special club with bacon, ham, turkey, two types of cheese, mayo, tomato, and lettuce. Two of us had the beef burger with cheese, one with fries, and one with onion rings. Our fourth order was the corn dog, all of which were great options. Kat kept the entire diner clean as people checked out, picking up dishes and cleaning the tables in a prompt manner. I would love to come back as we enjoyed our experience here.

Walked in on Sunday afternoon with my husband, daughter, and father in law. I didn’t get her name, but the red haired manager/server acknowledged us and we sat down right away. Ordered 2 club sandwiches, and the breakfast burger. While I am not a fan of eggs, I did take a bite of the breakfast burger and had my socks blown off! Even though I was eating the best club sandwich I’ve ever eaten, I wish I had ordered the breakfast burger. Our conversation with the lady was even better. As a tourist, I had a million questions lol. Probably the best conversation out of the entire visit to NOLA/Louisiana. Really enjoyed the camaraderie she showed us, and the vibe of the entire place was fantastic!!! Would definitely eat here again!!!

This was one of my favorite burger spots, but I got a breakfast burger with a live roach or beetle or whatever type of insect that is. When I showed the server this, he promised to comp the meal and give us a new one. Obviously I didn’t want it, but he insisted. Because I agreed to the replacement meal that I did not want I was then required to pay the full price, when the check came. It was 4 am and I was too tired to argue. It ruined it for me it’s one of the best burgers in America but now how many times did I eat a bug and not know?

Amazing, cheap, fast and delicious food. Felt like a nostalgic throwback despite being a foreigner, like this was the closest I was going to get to a true American diner experience. Loved it and is one of the meals I think about a lot from our trip in NOLA.

Great service. Excellent grub any time of day. A special nod to the breakfast burger which is enormous and tasty! There pour a mean cup of coffee, too!

Absolutely loved this gem. Excellent service, delicious breakfast at affordable prices. Loved the history of this joint, it's 24 hours and no cash. Small spot with counter space and a few tables. Hit the spot, right on time. Every staff member was great.

I've been to New Orleans seven times and this is my first time trying the Muffuletta! And I wanted it from the place that created it, Central Grocery and Deli! The Muffuletta was great! We all loved it! Even my grandson and he's a picky eater. The Muffuletta was huge, could easily feed four people.

I had the Mufoletta which I really enjoyed. I bought the 1/4 section because a whole one can feed an adult family of 4. The service was good and friendly. The atmosphere was very casual. The prices were fair. I will revisit if I ever visit NOLA again.

Cool little shop to visit while in New Orleans. They say this is where the original muffaletta was invented. We ordered 1 whole muffaletta to split between my wife & I and still had half leftover after we both filled up on a quarter of the sandwich each.

The Muffuletta is the greatest!! The original in NOLA so it's a must try, incredibly tasty and substantial. A whole muffuletta is like a cake, round and split in 4 quarters. My husband and I shared one half muffuletta, which is split in 2 quarters and the perfect size for 2 people. It's absolutely delicious full of tasty Italian meats, cheese and briny olives. The shop has a seating area inside, or you can take it to go as it's sold neatly packed. The deli shop sells some cool goodies including the olive salad they put in muffulettas. Loved this place!

I came here intentionally, knowing this was the home.of the original Muffuletta. The old time feel of this deli was wonderful, the sandwich, well I took a card when I found out I could have these sandwiches shipped! It was sooooo good!!

Finally made it here I'm not a big olive fan so I wish I could have had a sandwich without it but hubby ate all of mine and it was good Service from staff was awesome One if the cleanest bathroom I've been in while ilon my visit

Amazing Muffulleta - Best by far in New Orleans! I ate multiple Muffuletta's while here in NOLA and none come even close to the taste, flavor, and seasoning as the Original home of the Mufalleta (go figure). For me, the difference is the bread, the quality of meat, the volume and quality of the toppings, and the seasoning/oil. Everywhere else I ate the Muffuletta, the bread was thinner and didn't have the same flavor and fresh bread taste as what you'd find in a bakery. Central Grocery's bread tasted like something you'd get fresh from a high-quality bakery, which any sandwich maker knows the bread is one of the most important aspects of the sandwich. The second difference is the quality of the meat. Anyone who goes to a traditional deli, especially like in New York knows the difference between high quality meat and low quality meat which can be tasted immediately. The same thing is true with the cheese. At Central grocery, it's clear they have one of the highest quality meat selections in New Orleans which generally makes the Sandwich a completely different and higher quality taste. Also, they sell the highest quality ingredients including fresh high-quality pickles, olives, and a bunch of other condiments separately, like what a bakery or specialized grocery store would have. The quality of the olives alone along with the other condiments, take the flavor and taste of the sandwich above the others I ate. Lastly is the seasoning and oil used on the bread and meat. Every other Muffulleta I ate in New Orleans literally tasted dry, even though the cheese was melted. It was because they all lacked the oil and seasoning that is used at Central Grocery, where even without the cheese being melted, the sandwich is moist and delicious. I thought I'd have to eat it heated which I did try as well. But in all honesty, I can eat it completely cold as it is provided and it tasted just as good due to the volume of oil and seasoning used on the bread and meat. When purchased you can get the muffuletta in either a half or a full and each comes with heating instructions. If you do decide to heat it, it's worth trying & makes it equally delicious. I prefer crunchier bread versus softer bread where the top and bottom is crunchy but the middle is soft and fluffy so that's the way I made it when heating it, but it comes with instructions to keep the bread soft if preferred. I normally eat a foot long hoagie sub when eating a sandwich and I could only finish half of the sandwich since it is huge! (See the attached photo and note that the plate used in the photo is a large dinner plate). Overall, I didn't find another Muffuletta place that made could even compare to the original at Central Grocery, but I'll keep looking. Either way, if you are visiting New Orleans and you like a quality sandwich with fresh baked bread, high quality deli and ingredients, and amazing seasoning, you need to make a stop at Central Grocery!

Starting out the place is very pretty and service is amazing. But from reviews and claims such as best new restaurant I’d expected more. Started with 3 appetizers and based on these didn’t make it to main course. Tomato salad was very under seasoned. This is not the place to ask for salt and pepper but I had to. The artichoke salad also lacked a punch and was very subtle. Best appetizer by far the tuna tartare. That was amazing. And while the homemade bread was tasty and came with some amazing flavored butters and oil, homemade bread that fresh should not be that hard. It was difficult to pull apart and cut. Server was amazing and very attentive and friendly.

We had dinner and the food was delicious. They had a good variety of meat choices from prime, dry aged, and Japanese A5 Waegu. We were initially seated in the dining area based on our reservation but quickly asked to be changed due to the unbelievably loud conversation from the large group of diners across the room. No fault to the restaurant though. The sides were delicious and portions were adequate.

This was our first time there. The food was amazing. We enjoying everything and it was perfect portions for each individual. The flavors were on point and everything we had was top notch and highest quality. Will defiantly come back and try new items from the menu.

Our meal was wonderful! We loved the short rib dish and ribeye we ordered. The restaurant itself is charming and the staff was great. Shout out to our server Howard who made our birthday celebration meal unforgettable!

Had a wonderful menu. Our server was knowledgeable and had great recommendations. Very good food. I wish the dining experience was more intimate. It was loud and cold but not very crowded. It is advertised as a fine dining experience but felt casual. Dressing up for the occasion felt out of place.

Had an amazing birthday dinner! Ribeye, short rib and tiger prawns were so good. Howard our server was patient, knowledgeable and friendly. Finished the night off with a flaming tiramisu.

Hands down the best restaurant we tried during our New Orleans trip! We started with the Shawarma(must-try) paired with their complimentary bread, which was just amazing. For the main course, we had the “Falls Off the Bone” and the Butcher’s Cut. Both were filled with flavor and generously portionedbut I personally loved the Butcher’s Cut more. To top it all off, we shared the Baklava Cheesecake for dessert. Now that’s the way to end the meal! Every server we interacted with was incredibly friendly and knew their menu. The place was spotless,. They earned a repeat customer. I’ll be back every time I’m in New Orleans.

My husband and I had the pleasure of enjoying Felipe’s on yesterday. Everything was simply amazing. Our bartender Iris was sweet and very informative. She was such a delight. We enjoyed ourselves so much. You have one of the best happy hours we’ve experienced.

The food is ready fast. Mildly warm so could have been out a while so not fresh. The burrito is a good size. The loaded fries were just okay but small. Very limited drink options like 4 or 5 not even Hispanic drink like horchata just regular soda. The meat had no flavor. If I wasn't starving from the airport and desperate for food I could easily recognize around here I wouldn't have gone. Now I'll never return.

I absolutely love Zach—hands down the best bartender I’ve ever encountered here. He’s not only incredibly kind and friendly, but he’s also always on point with everything he does. The way he makes each guest feel welcome and taken care of is unmatched. His energy instantly lights up the room, and you can tell he genuinely cares about creating a great experience for everyone. Drinks? Perfect. Service? Flawless. Personality? 10/10. Zach is the reason I’ll keep coming back—he sets the bar (literally) at the highest level!

It’s a great fast casual spot that is consistently good and fast service. Affordable for the convenient location. There also a full bar and the frozen margaritas are great

ZACH Was a very fun polite bartender and answered all of our questions in a spunky polite manner which is a change from most peoples attitudes in the quarter. If you sit at the bar and Zach is working your in for a treat. He also made my wife a mocktail that looked like a cocktail and tasted amazing.

It is difficult to find gluten free options in the French quarter. Mexican food is always a safe option.

I wanted to like this place. All fairness, I was looking for a full service Mexican restaurant with hosts/hostesses. This is more like fast food where you order at the counter, wait for your food, and go find a seat. The food was mediocre, nothing great about it. The staff wasn't the friendliest either. Considering there's so many restaurant choices in New Orleans, you'd think there would be more focus on customer service. If you want fast food, this place is fine. If you want full service, good food, and courteous waitstaff, I wouldn't recommend this place.

This is an awesome exhibit dedicated to all Americans who participated in World War II. The photos do not do this place justice. Every exhibit was heavily themed and made you feel like you were in the war. This place also has exhibits that appeal for everyone. My wife is completely disinterested in "old dead white guy history", but she found all of the museum fascinating. She really enjoyed the home front exhibit that depicted what people were doing domestically for the war effort. My favorite part of the museum was the interactive digital video chat they had with veterans. I feel like this was a very hidden gem of the museum, and I could have spent all day talking to the people.

This museum is absolutely phenomenal! You can tell it was created with deep thought, care, and purpose. The space is massive, filled with immersive, interactive exhibits that pull you in and keep you exploring for hours. The volunteers and docents are incredible; genuinely enthusiastic, deeply knowledgeable, and patient with every curious question. You could easily spend two full days here and still come back to find something new and meaningful. War and the horrors that come with it are never easy to witness, but this museum approaches the subject with unflinching honesty and immense respect. It doesn’t sugarcoat the pain, yet it beautifully honors the courage, sacrifice, and resilience of those who lived through it. If you’re a history lover, this place will move you, challenge you, and stay with you long after you leave. It’s an unforgettable experience!

The National WWII Museum is an absolute must-visit. From the moment you walk in, you can feel the weight of history brought to life in an incredibly thoughtful and engaging way. The exhibits are beautifully curated, blending powerful personal stories with immersive displays, artifacts, and interactive experiences that make you feel truly connected to the era. The Beyond All Boundaries 4D film was outstanding—it gave me chills and really set the stage for the rest of the visit. I also appreciated how the museum balances the global scope of the war with deeply personal narratives of service, sacrifice, and resilience. Everything is laid out so that you can take your time and absorb the history at your own pace. The staff and volunteers were knowledgeable, welcoming, and clearly passionate about preserving this history. Plan to spend at least half a day here—there’s so much to take in, and it’s worth every minute. This museum isn’t just about learning facts—it’s about honoring the people who lived through WWII and ensuring their stories are never forgotten. It was a surreal experience for us and brought us to tears. I dont think I have ever cried in a museum. Truly one of the best museums I’ve ever visited.

The National World War II Museum in New Orleans is an extraordinary and deeply moving experience that far exceeded expectations. The museum is massive, thoughtfully organized into different sections that cover both the European and Pacific Theatres in remarkable detail. Each exhibit tells the story of the war through powerful visuals, personal accounts, and an impressive collection of artifacts and memorabilia. From uniforms and weapons to letters, photographs, and vehicles, every display helps you understand not just the historical events, but also the human experiences behind them. One of the most meaningful aspects is the presence of volunteers—including actual World War II veterans—who are available to share stories and answer questions. Hearing firsthand perspectives from those who lived through that era adds a level of authenticity and emotion that no textbook can provide. The museum also dedicates significant space to the Holocaust and the liberation of the concentration camps, presenting it with the sensitivity and gravity it deserves. The section on Anne Frank is especially impactful, offering a personal lens into the unimaginable suffering and resilience of that time. It’s a place where you can easily spend an entire day immersed in history, reflection, and learning. The museum combines education and emotion beautifully, making it a must-visit for anyone traveling to New Orleans or interested in understanding the global impact of World War II.

Gosh, what an immaculately curated facility. So incredibly impactful and heavy and sobering. The most immersive experience I’ve had in a museum. We spent four hours but could have easily spent 6+. Everyone should see these exhibits. Massive, massive museum that really educates in exciting ways.

If you are into history this is definitely worth the stop!! Ask local hotel concierge for discount cards!! They close at 5, we got there around 2 thinking for sure 3 hours would be enough time.. it was not. Plan for an entire day. We went on a Tuesday afternoon and shared the place with about 6 other groups. Very private, very emotional, very cool.

I could have spent two full days in here! There’s so much to see. I arrived right when they opened, and avoided the lines. The museum does a great job at not only teaching the timeline of the war but also of the personal stories of individuals who lived through it. What an amazing place to learn about the history of WW2!

I visited the Riverwalk Outlets close to closing time, so unfortunately, only a few stores were still open for exploring. However, I did get to see something quite lovely as the mall was closing. After sunset, the lights on the Crescent City Connection Bridge, which is located to the east of the outlets, were beautiful. It offered a really nice view.

We purchased tickets for a jazz river cruise. The cruise was very nice. There was an open bar and an optional buffet. We were there for the music. The band was really good. There was a trumpet, keyboard, upright acoustic bass, and drums. There was a small crowd Everyone really enjoyed the music.

We enjoyed coming to this mall and it's just a short walk from our hotel which was across from the convention center. It's got lots of food and shopping options. Being in the mall also provided some protection from the wind/cold weather outside!

There are plenty of shops at this outlet mall. It is almost 3 blocks long. Food courts are available in 2 different spots. The river boat tour is right out back with the Mississippi right there. Ample seating inside. Hardly any seating once you step outside.

I had a great time at the Riverwalk Outlet! The location is perfect—right by the water with scenic views that make shopping even more enjoyable. The outlet has a wide selection of stores, from designer brands to more affordable options, so there's something for everyone. The atmosphere was lively but not overly crowded, which made for a comfortable shopping experience. Staff at most stores were friendly and helpful, and I found some great deals on clothes and accessories. There are also plenty of food options to grab a bite or relax with a coffee. Overall, it’s a fun place to shop, stroll, and unwind. Highly recommended!

Riverwalk Outlets is perfect for a little shopping before or after the Paddlewheeler Creole Queen – Mississippi River Cruise. Various brands with good prices. Ps. There is one Café Du Monde inside this outlet.

It's a beautiful place to go sightseeing there's always something to do here you would have to stay awhile to see everything the city has to offer so come on down and enjoy life 🧬

This will include some bits about Caesar's Reward Air. We flew out of Concord, NC on Sun. All was perfectly fine with flying Sun for the first time. Still have to wait in line for actual tickets which for light travelers kind of sucks but the seats on the plane had actual cushions and the 1.5 hour flight we get drinks and the usual dumb snack. Travel to and from resort back to airport is fantastic as in New Orleans you may not need to rent a car with so much so near the casino and the trolly system is at your front door. The rooms are a bit nicer than Danville, which we live about an hour from...really they had better glass ware but, since they are larger, was an appreciated upgrade. The casino has all the offerings I need so I played happily. Their pizza was really good (Danville's Caesar's pizza is POOP). Bobby's Burgers made sure to make my wife's burger garlic free as she requires to avoid Linda Blair mode. THE STAFF!!! The staff at Caesar's NOLA is FANTASTIC!!! Everyone was friendly and helpful. With so much to do in the area and a perfectly fine casino I will definitely be back to Caesars NOLA. A great alternative to Vegas.

Only getting 2 stars due to the POOR service I Recieved last week. I visited this hotel for the first time last year the same month it opened but stayed across the street at four seasons. I had a pleasant time visiting the casino. Staff were friendly therefore upon returning to NOLA last week after a year I decided to stay at Caesars. My panoramic room was amazing with a beautiful view, casino staff were great but the SERVICE IS HORRIBLE. I stayed 5 days and 4 nights had to beg someone 4 times in order to get room service ONCE during my entire stay. That really irritated me. Other than that it was ok.

We stayed on bourbon and did the river walk down to here every day. Very manageable 10-15 minute scenic walk! Got in to find out platinum members get free drinks while playing slots, including if you order from the machine. That was a nice perk! We lost overall, but our money lasted 3 days which is more than I can say about a lot of other spots. The sports bar area is awesome, tons of TVs, perfect for watching the game. Only complaint was the drinks were pretty slow to get to us so they ended up costing us a bit more in slot losses than we wanted! We also got some drinks from the bars there, but they were very slow as well. The sports bar is extremely long and was only manned by one person at the time.

Our room was barely a step above grungy. This is where they send everyone under a diamond status. My rooms where comp when booked. But magically disappeared upon arrival. Oh we're so sorry. Bull crap! Any question you ask the desk are met with I don't know. Never saw housekeeping. It's a dump don't bother. Parking only for small vehicles. Valet parking 65$ a day. Fees are stupid high. Everything in Nola is high. Do not go here. It is a rip off . My bill was supposed to be $71.00. but it came up to $481.00. bait and switch scam by a massive corporation. To stay in a run down old hotel. Every turn you make smells like marijuana and so do most of the staff . I'll never go here again. And tempted to not use any ceasers property.

We were in town for Halloween weekend and the World Series was on. We had perfect seats and the atmosphere was great, we tried watching it on the big screen but you have to bet to sit in that area. It was a nice casino, clean and not overly crowded. Go Dodgers!

Nice casino in a central location near the border walk downtown. Definitely a little bit to see in and around the area but...it is New Orleans so take that with a grain of salt I guess. Was there during the day for the WSOP which was ran well. Quiet during the day and things picked up in the evening. All in all solid experience would recommend

I was passing through and had to stay at a different hotel because this establishment like many others in "The Big Easy" is not pet-friendly. Very disappointed in that but did win at slots. Started with $100 and lost it pretty quick so played another $100 down to $20 and hit a bonus twice on $1.60 bet, I played it down to $18 up bet to $ 2.50 hit a bonus for a $ 460.00 win left after that, I wanted to stay and play more but I had a pooch to get back to at my pet friendly hotel.

If you ask me, this is my favorite place to eat. It’s a little expensive, but totally worth it. The food is absolutely delicious and the service is excellent — they even explain every dish you order. The best part is the egg they serve at the beginning, covered in mousse sauce, it’s just amazing. I’ve been here more than twice and every time I go, I fall in love with the food all over again.

The tasting menu at August Restaurant,New Orleans is a true journey of flavors-thoughtfully curated, beautifully plated and perfectly balanced from start to finish. Each course highlights local ingredients with refined technique, making it an unforgettable dining experience. Thank you so much for everything:)

We were very excited to come to Restaurant August as it has been acclaimed one of the best in America. The restaurant is decorated beautifully and is a perfect place for a date or celebration. Our server, Jordan, was pleasant and helpful, but I believe they were overly busy that evening, so we did have some service issues. (One item ordered did not come with the appetizers, my glass of wine arrived when I was more than halfway through my entrée, and we requested a split check but had to remind him again after he dropped the bill.) The food was really wonderful. The amuse-bouche, appetizers, and desserts were outstanding. At this particular price point, I would have expected a scallop or two more on my entree (only 3), but flavors were on point and beautifully presented on all entrées. So, overall, it was a good experience and delicious food, but we left feeling a little disappointed because of the disjointed service. (They did bring us a couple extra desserts as an apology for the service issues, but no formal apology acknowledging the failure to provide excellent service was given.)

November 2025: Very elegant dining room, superb service. The options are chef's menu or ala cart. We decided to go with the menu as I wanted to try venison with fore gra. It was prepared ala beef wellington. It was okay, but not as good as I had in the past . The appetizer I chose was wague tartar in Vietnamese fish sauce and lemongrass. Excellent. For me that was the high light of the dinner.

This restaurant was on my list for a long time as its 2 block away from my house still never got a chance to go there. Reservation was very smooth while i had some questions about my dietary restrictions which they took care of it. I am usually type of guy who enjoys some good expensive wine than the food and i was impressed with both wine selections which my sommelier suggested me. Me and my gf really enjoyed all the food with lots of colours and flavours. Had a wonderful chef’s special 7-10 course meal with my gf service and the explaination of the food was amazing but could have been more interactive service like waiter came once or twice and saw him at the end !! Lots of different flavours on food. Thank you soo much once again for doing vegetarian 10 dish 7 course menu. I would recommend them to try for michelin star or hopefully they can get it when michelin visited new orelans !

Really high quality food. The Sweet Corn Blueberry dessert is one of the best desserts in the world. Please never take this off your menu. I will come back again and again as long as this dessert is on the menu. There are two dining rooms, one is a bright beautiful room with high ceiling and windows. This is the room you want to sit in. The other room is a tiny cramped room with tables packed right next to each other. For some odd reason they sat us in the small dark room while 2 tables sat empty the entire time in the beautiful main dining room. Had to deduct a star for that.

August is an elegant restaurant with very attentive service. The food is fine but not exceptional. Had the rabbit balontine and snapper ponchatrain. I enjoyed both but neither was anything to write home about.

Great meal! Wood fired oven adds a subtle smoky flavor to the food. We had wood fired oysters ( gluten free) catfish courtbouillon ( gluten free), tomatoes and okra ( gluten free) and beef brisket. Everything was excellent. I appreciate that they listed all their gluten free items on a separate menu. The atmosphere is relaxed and our server was great.

We came here for a quick pit stop and because we wanted to try the alligator. We ordered a glass of beer, dumbo, and of course alligator. Both appetizers were really good. The dumbo could be better but still very good. But the alligator, wow, it’s superb. It’s our first time having an alligator meat, but if you told me it was chicken or pork or duck, we would believe you. It was tender, not too chewy, almost like chicken thigh consistency and it didn’t smell fishy at all. In fact the combo with the mint leaves and parsley and onion and spicy mayo made it all taste excellent. When the waiter said it’s one of the best in the city, we didn’t doubt that. The place is huge and very cold. Maybe for a hot summer day it could be a refuge, but today it was a bit raining and temp wasn’t too warm. Service was very friendly, even though we told our waiter we were there just for a pit stop. Clean place and good space between tables. So highly recommend this place.

My Fiance and I were in Nola for a work event. A co-worker had looked up the best place to eat in New Orleans. Cochon was at the top of the list. It's hard to put in words, how good everything was. Jesse (sorry Jesse if I got the wrong spelling!) was our server, and he knew the menu like he wrote it. We ended up ordering most of what he recommended. Everything was fantastic, so much so, that we went back the next night. It was just as incredible and did not disappoint. Highly recommend going to New Orleans just for this restaurant.

We went here thinking it was cochon butchery. When we told the server the menu was different we were brushed off and told the menu changes a lot. After ordering drinks we realized our mistake. We tried to make the best of it but we didnt see a single main course we'd like to try. We ended up ordering alligator bites and gumbo. Both were delicious but, again, we were disappointed because we thought we'd be ordering differently. While waiting for our appetizers we saw 2 other groups come in and leave because they made the same mistake we did. The table next to us also reluctantly ordered food. After spending $40 we were disappointed in our experience. Don't make our mistake. Keep going down the block 50 yards to cochon butchery. (We did end up there and had a much better experience).

very mid overall. food was a hit or miss, service just okay, atmosphere strange none of the decor seemed to match at all lol. food: salmon dish was EXTREMELY tiny go to a sushi place instead they’ll charge u the same amount for way more. seasoning on it was good but the greens on it had WAYYY too much vinaigrette. the muffaletta was decent

The service…Nick W was our waiter and was phenomenal in all ways. Kind spirited and seemingly enjoyed his job! He made our dining experience incredible! The food…we had rabbit n dumplings, smothered Lima beans, shrimp stew, and pan-seared grouper with a beer and old-fashion. Every. Single. Thing. sat in front of us was delicious. 10/10 recommend!

If you’re into early dinners reservations are not so much needed here but the place was filling up quickly as we prepared to leave. Their cocktails were very well received by my wife while I decided to stay close to my tried and true Long Island Iced Tea’s (7.5 out of 10 for smoothness and effectiveness). We started with a 30 day cares ham with figs which was fantastic smooth flavor and the only kick was the sprinkled sea salt sprinkled on top. From there we moved onto rabbit and dumplings which were phenomenal along with their bacon broiled green beans which were tasty and worth it. Then over to Mac and cheese which is a hard decision as my wife and I save carbs for our alcohol but well worth all of the flavor they came with. The service was fantastic and our waiter had a bidder who complemented him very well. We always had water and attention as we needed.

Sat at the bar. They two bartenders were great. Every options for libations was available. The boudin balls were the best I’ve had. The tuna wraps were good, but I’d skip next time. Had a cup of gumbo that was ok. Was expecting the gumbo to knock my socks off but feel it lacked the depth of flavor a good rue delivers. Either way, I’d go back and try more food.

Such an awesome dining experience. Took my team out for dinner and had an excellent experience here for the first time. The service was top notch and food delivered on another level. The appetizers and entrees were very tasty. Would recommend the BBQ shrimp and deviled eggs and for entrees you can’t go wrong with anything on the menu. We were assigned two servers and they were very attentive throughout our dining experience.

Nice atmosphere, needed a reservation. Food was good but a little on the skimpy side for what you pay. Service was great, friendly staff. One downside was the noise, it was very loud and I got the feeling of a cafeteria environment.

Just had a great meal at Meril’s. We spent ages looking for somewhere so we’re pleased we found this place round the corner from our hotel. Rasheed was so lovely, polite and a great host. The food was delicious and clearly fresh. Would recommend!

We dined at Meril in New Orleans during our summer travels. The atmosphere was vibrant and lively, which created a fun vibe, but it did get quite noisy at times. To start, we ordered a few cocktails, the watermelon salad, and the ribs as appetizers. We also had the upside-down cornbread, which unfortunately arrived quite late—actually after the mains had already come out. For our main courses, I had the market fish and my husband had the ribeye. The fish was completely undercooked, and when I mentioned this to our server, he said he would let the manager know, but unfortunately no one ever followed up or addressed it, so I basically just ended up not eating it, which was highly disappointing. On top of that, the service experience was quite confusing. We had multiple waiters switching during the meal, which made things feel a bit disjointed and didn’t help the flow of the dinner at all. Overall, Meril has a fun atmosphere and some creative dishes, but the execution of the food and the service coordination left to be desired.

Keys was an incredible server. His food recommendatios did not miss!!! Layla was outstanding at the Bar. Her knowledge of the bourbon were second to none. Def recommend.

The restaurant is beautiful, great atmosphere and service and the food is amazing. The only thing that I didn’t like is that the air conditioner was so cold that you couldn’t enjoy your meal, everyone at the table was shivering and the food was too cold in a few minutes.

Jesus. The most beautiful city park I've ever been in. And I didn't even cross into the north section. The south part has great water features, the free sculpture garden which is fun and chances to spot turtles, storks and alligators.

The City Park in New Orleans has to be one of the best I’ve ever been in. The landscaping is beautiful and there are several places to see inside the park, the Botanical Garden, Story Land, the Museum of Art etc. There’s plenty of parking and security too.

A vast expanse packed with culture, activities and calm relaxing outdoor spaces. New Orleans City Park is everything it promises to be, a park in the city. It is also big, and home to a range of popular sports facilities including football, tennis, golf, disc golf, running, dog walking and more. There are eateries within (e.g. cafe du monde). The park is equipped with important park apparatus such as trees, grass, bodies of water and rollercoasters. A train circumnavigates the south end of the park. The northern end of the park presents itself as more barren. We saw a large black snake in the grass near the disc golf course which we understand was either completely harmless and friendly, or deadly. A lady picking leaves nearby remarked she’d never seen a snake in the park before, and was both thankful yet envious that she had not witnessed this with us.

Awesomely ❤️‍🔥 manicured grass with run off drain around ENTIRE perimeter of grassed area 🕋🤲🏾📿 having a shaded parking spots, gazebos and grassed areas 🕶️ made it possible for my "allergic 🧴🤧 to 'everything everywhere touched only in the state of Louisiana' furson" to feel the sun 🌞 and be a dog even if only for this short moment ⏰🥵 for the 1st time in over a year 🥹🤘🏾🎉🏆

My favorite city park in the states! Truly a gem to visit. We rented a swan boat which was fun but tiring (duh!) Unfortunately, I left my phone in the car while we walked the other areas, but the pics on the site are better than any I could do! We'll be back, as always!

Absolutely beautiful park! We only had about an hour to be in City Park, but we wished could have had all day. There is something for everyone here. If you want a sweet treat, stop at Café Du Monde. If you want to see areas with deep historical roots, look at the 300+ year old trees and more. Looking for a great spot to take your kids, there's an area of the park for that! Looking to enjoy the water and maybe see an alligator, there are plenty of spots for that. Beautiful. Picturesque.

Went to the fishing pier. It was nice, but the ends or corners should have some shade or cover. It also should have a portable or permanent restroom facility.

It’s an amazing place to visit if you are ever in New Orleans. They have beautiful exhibits and interesting free programs. The museum is spacious and exhibits are easy to navigate. The museum is located inside a lovely park with a lake. All staff members are friendly and helpful. I only wish we had more time to spend at the museum and at the park.

The New Orleans Museum of Art is such a hidden gem. The rotating exhibits are always something special and worth checking out each visit. The permanent collections are fantastic too—especially the galleries on Africa, China, and Orientalism. Beautifully curated, peaceful, and inspiring every time. A must for art lovers in the city.

So much beautiful and dramatic art to view. The museums provides info of the time period, meaningful symbolism and history behind lot of it the pieces of art. Definitely a must see when you come to New Orleans and I love how the botanical garden and the sculpture garden is close by. Staff was friendly and helpful and restrooms were clean!

Incredible European Catholic art, stunningly brilliant pieces. Not busy at all on a weekend, except for the parking, which is shared with city park and is where I imagine all passengers of parked cars went. The parking is all parallel on the side of the street and full which was irritating but not necessarily the fault of the museum. It’s overly expensive, around $40 per person for adults, make sure to make use of whatever discount you’re eligible for: Senior, student, teacher, etc. relatively small art museum, I come from Houston which is much bigger, but this museum is filled with many more pieces that are worthwhile to see than at the Houston Museum of fine arts.

Beautiful exhibits! I didn't expect to find so many famous paintings in here. The museum has three floors, a lot of classic art, but also modern art and ancient artifacts from all over the world! The museum is spacious and quiet. It also have a cafeteria and a nice gift shop

Best spot to cool off during the week. Free on weds for Louisiana residents. Sculpture garden is great when it’s cooler outside. Must visit for anyone in the area.

The African Masquerades exhibit was a breathtaking celebration of artistry, tradition, and cultural storytelling. From the moment I walked in, I was surrounded by vibrant colors, intricate carvings, and masks that seemed to carry the spirit of centuries-old rituals.

Was crazy to see this place potential being wasted, was dirty and empty and I really have to same pretty bad shape! Was amazing I ask the security guy few questions and he was amazing describing all about this place and history ,he take the time to talk to me and was the best of coming here…. I don’t know if a came in a bad day ! So sad to see this place abandoned like this !! I didn’t ask the security guy name, he did amazing ! Monday morning security guy … good job!!!

Oh what a wonderful world A wonderful little world housed just outside of the French quarter of New Orleans. This quiet little haven of peace serves as a public green space, equipped with sculptures, plaques and more honouring the late founder of jazz. Though I would say it’s potential has been let down by its custodians. The park has some quaint little walkways and bridges which personally I enjoyed. This included a wooden bridge over a small beck, within which turtles can be spotted. We pondered on whether the turtles are natural or placed by man. I can’t help feeling like this park isn’t lifted to its full potential, due to the abundance of scaffolding and heras fencing, and the colour of the water. This could be a truly magical place but does feel somewhat uncared for. I understand there has been discussion about whether the adjacent parking lots may be incorporated into the park at some point.

Louis Armstrong Park has the appearance of a public space designed in the Lyndon Johnson era. Stark looking concrete bridges over concrete ponds seemingly without intent or direction. I can't quite figure out what seems so odd about the park. The rarely used Mahalia Jackson Theater is on the property as well as a very large abandoned building, the Municipal Auditorium whose intent is unknown to me, but is in great need of rehabilitation. I find an Executive Order from the Mayors office setting up a committee to study its redevelopment. Hopefully something is in the works. There is also an older historic building complex in the middle of the park, fenced off. Don't know what that is. The stark concrete bridges would be a lot more pleasing to the eye if they were faced with brick. Anyway, it does serve as an outdoor space for events and gathering spot for walking parades. I'm not sure whether they even have bathrooms in the park. There are some nice statues.

Pass by these silent and beautiful park in central city….5km Runs is worth it to see around. They will close around 6pm Louis Armstrong, the legendary jazz musician born in New Orleans.🎷🎺 #LouisArmstrong #thelegendaryjazz #musician #NewOrleans

Amazing park dedicated to a legend. A nice surprise to stumble across while out seeing the sites of the French Quarter.

The park has great appeal. The city or whoever oversees the park needs to maintain it. It was so sad to see the level of trash that filled the water feature.... the landscape is too nice to look like that. It can be a serene place. Also some of the night lights on the entry of the park are our. Please clean the water up. I still think it's worth going to visit.

It is so beautiful here, very quiet and peaceful full of flowers and ducks and so much nature, a great place to get away from the cement jungle and sit back reading a book, or just relax and soak in the sunshine. Take a break, you deserve it.

We enjoyed the environment and service. One of the staffs was very good at describing (and selling us) the dishes. However, we tried three appetizers and one main course, all of which tasted unreasonably salty (and my taste is typically on the saltier side). As the first time customer there we were not sure whether this is a one-time miss or the dishes are always like this. The presentation was excellent, and I can imagine some of them being very good if not so salty. We did enjoyed the desserts (rice pudding and lemon Madeline) and the pretzel bread service.

A masterclass in hospitality and culinary excellence! The space is beautiful, the team is incredible, the attention to detail is refreshing, and passion is genuine. We celebrated my birthday at MaMou and I can’t say enough. Truly a special restaurant and a MUST visit, often!

Mamou is an intimate and chic European restaurant with the perfect ambiance for a special night out. We enjoyed a bit of red wine alongside the beef, which was absolutely delicious. The setting felt elegant yet welcoming, making the whole experience memorable. A true gem in New Orleans!

Might be my fav restaurant in the quarter - Food is divine and made with such great attention to detail. My favorite seasonal dish is the tomato and peach, it’s so refreshing. This time I had the fish- omg it was amazing! Now the service is another level, you instantly feel welcomed. I feel like this place must have read unreasonable hospitality or something because it’s amazing from beginning to end. Speaking of the end- dessert was delicious- check the pictures 😋🤤will be back, hats off the the chef and his team.

Unbelievably good. The menu was unique and the presentation of each dish was beautiful. The pretzel bread service with smoked butter and the Louisiana heirloom tomato salad is a must. For mains we had the fish Florentine, which was a rolled black drum filet, served with caviar Bier Blanc sauce, on a bed of steamed spinach. FANTASTIC. We also had the ribeye, which was reverse seared and cooked to perfection, served with the best mashed potatoes I've ever had. The wine list was excellent, and Molly, the somm, was super friendly and helpful introducing the wines. We will definitely be back!!!

OMG!! For someone who dies not normally enjoy Ribeye, I THOROUGHLY enjoyed the Cote de Boeuf! There was enough on the plate to share, but my wife cannot eat red meat (lucky me, right?!?). The creamed potatoes was light and fluffy, but had enough texture that it wasn't biting into a cloud. Deanna's dish was super yum, but she didnt let me have more than one bite. Poisson a la Florentine was drum tonight, and we finished dinner with the rice pudding. The service was top notch and very attentive to our needs. The GM stopped by a few times to make sure we were happy, and the owner stoped by to thank us personally before we headed back to our hotel. The price was in line with our expectations and would definitely recomend returning for an upscale date night. Reservations are a must, as this is a small venue, but so well worth the visit!

Food is subjective. The place is beautiful and in a cute area. Food looked pretty but the taste fell below expectation, in fact we didn’t finish the two entrees we ordered, especially for two entrees costing over $100. Waitress was nice but I’m giving lower rating because we felt shamed for not wanting to over order, and only ordered two entrees. This place has many amazing reviews by others, which is why we chose to try it out during our New Orleans visit. I’ve eaten at many places and all sorts of cuisine, my rating is a reflection of my own experience.

Some of the best drink I ever had. They are so well balanced, unique, and tasty. The one with the cardamom cordial is fantastic. The food was very good and eclectic. I usually don’t like tongue but the way they prepared it was very good. I will definitely be back.

Dined during Tales. Fabiana, Stefanie took care of me as I ate most of the menu, by myself, had 6 cocktails (complimentary due to the event in bar area), a glass of Champagne which they were kind enough to provide despite not offering wine during the event, and dessert. I had a nice time. This is a good restaurant

The food is unique and delicious - flavors I haven't had in decades, unique combinations, fun and adventurous items. This is a special treat, a fun night out, perfect for a date night or a celebration..smaller group is better. If you have picky eaters in the group maybe not ideal, but if you like to try new things and delight your palate with unexpected flavors, this is the perfect place.

PLEASE GET RID OF THAT SINGLE TABLE IN THE ALLEYWAY. We arrived at the restaurant at around 6pm on a Monday and were told that the only thing available would be a table on the sidewalk, and service would be provided to us through a door from the bar. We took it. What we weren’t told, however, is that it was literally the only table out in that alleyway, steps away from the restaurant’s garbage area. Although the door connects to the bar, it stayed shut most of the time when someone was not taking the order or bringing the dishes, which kept us completely out on our own. When it got dark, it was dim and eerie with no one else around, except some turtle-bean-sized flies attacking the food. And if you are lucky like us, you might also get a homeless person yelling “Everyone having a good time?”, approaching you for food and money. At one point, a restaurant staff ran past us to throw away trash, nervously, as if they didn’t want to stay out for a second longer. Even though we enjoyed the food and would very much like a second round of drinks, we felt too uneasy to stay and really didn’t want to push our luck. Outdoor dining usually means access to fresh air and a view of lively streets for us, but in this case only anxiety (and we’re travelling from NYC). Had anything happened to us, I don’t think the restaurant would be able to act on it. So let me repeat this: PLEASE GET RID OF THAT SINGLE TABLE IN THE ALLEYWAY, for the safety and wellbeing of your guests, even if it means you have to turn them away. Speaking as a diner, I would rather walk out in disappointment than be seated there.

Wow! Just wow! I must say that I have not enjoyed a meal or dining experience this much in years! The attention to detail, the service, the knowledge of the staff, the teamwork, the food, the cocktails, the atmosphere. All were impeccable. Each course that I ordered out did the previous one. Heirloom tomatoes and Wagyu tongue stole the show, but the asparagus was phenomenal and the Eccles for dessert was paired so well with some Stilton! Thank you for such a great and unique experience. Kudos the chef and staff!

The food at Jewel of the South was absolutely amazing! Every dish was packed with flavor, and the cocktails were next-level good. The service was just as great, super friendly and attentive without being over the top. You can really tell they care about what they do. The only thing that kept it from being a full 5 stars was that the inside area felt a little tight and got pretty loud, which made it hard to chat at times. Still, the energy was fun and lively, and I’d definitely come back. Totally worth it!

This review is based on the mocktail and service. I asked the server about the mocktails and what the “Mockly Tangerine” was in the Tangerine Daisy drink, like whether it was a N/A spirit or mix. She had no idea and instead asked me what my question was. The drink was bad and tasted really watery with a hint of orange. For a bar that’s ranked “Top 50 Bars in the World”, I’d expect the drinks to be better and the server to know what’s in the drinks.

We were celebrating a birthday and had heard so much about the restaurant so decided to make a reservation to try it out. Overall food was decent, a bit pricey for the casual atmosphere, but the service was not good. We ordered the cheese board, the shrimp and grits, the burger and the fish and egg. The burger was good with a good portion size and flavor. It was served with chips which were so salty that were inedible. We ordered a side of fingerling potatoes which were better. The shrimp and grits was also a good portion size and had a good sauce but everything kind of blended together so you couldn’t really tell where everything was. The cheese board was average, smaller pieces and there are better selections at other locations. The fish dish was good. Overall the food and portion size plus flavor was good but the prices were high and the service was not good.

This place never disappoints. We come every time we are in NOLA. The dishes are fantastic, and the staff is great. Highly recommend the lamb neck. (it is a generous portion). The chicken thigh dish is amazing!! Must try!

We had a fabulous anniversary dinner at Toups Meatry. The quality of the food was outstanding! Chef Isaac Toups and his staff we so welcoming. My husband and I would highly recommend this restaurant and we look forward to coming back.

Started with the marinated crab claws and Irish coffees which were amazing! Different take with the marinated crab claws, not the typical butter spice. Very savory and pickled marinade. Awesome. Venison with fried eggs and biscuits/gravy and fried catfish served over perfect collard greens with two poached eggs cover with a tiny sauce that complimented the collard greens and fish perfectly! Don't skip this laid back, delicious eatery!

CUCUMBER SALAD: This was tasty. It definitely had those pickle-sour flavors, and it was vinegary, too. I love the sesame seeds on top. I feel they would be best thin-sliced and soaked overnight for that softness. CRACKLING’S: 1-inch-cut pork belly cracklins fried with thunder-dust seasoning, Busssn! Pork lovers must have these! They were crispy, with that succulent fatty edge. They were not salty, but they were like large cracklin chips. COUVILLION: This stew dish included a fish filet, shrimp, and crawfish in a brick roux, along with a side of crab-fat rice. The Cajun and Creole met in the middle of my tongue and danced to Jazz. PORK CHOP: This double-cut monster was one of the best chops ever. It was the size of a baby's head! Large yet so juicy and tender—so much so that as I went to slice this tenderloin, the juices squirted onto my shirt, lol. It paired well with the dirty rice. I don't know which blessed chef made the chop, but shout out to them: pork is a succulent meat that must be made well in this size to be fully cooked while saving the flavors of the piggy. SERVICE: I called on Friday night and spoke with Molly. She was able to make reservations for me that evening; she was very kind and very friendly. My server, Sean, was tentative, very explainable, and knowledgeable about their dishes. Toups will be my go-to while in NOLA. This spot provided the cuisine styles and flavors that I was looking for

When I say this was a true culinary experience for the tastebuds, I absolutely mean it. The cheeses on the cheese board were absolutely delicious and a wonderful display of different milks and aging processes. The meat board… oh my, the meat board. From exquisite handmade sausages, crispy fried pork belly bites, beautifully blended head cheese, velvety smooth chicken liver pâté, an assortment of pickled vegetables, and the boudin ball! Best selection I’ve ever had. My shrimp and grits entree was also bursting full of flavor with heirloom tomatoes, shrimp with the head on and a gorgeous dark roux that was perfection. And to top it all off, the most rich, moist, delectable coconut cake with caramel sauce tied in the whole meal to a 10/10. Our server, Maggie, was so knowledgeable and prompt with our service and made us feel so welcome and at home. The food, Maggie, and the atmosphere will make Toup’s a place I will never forget! We are already excited about our next trip to New Orleans to have this experience once again!

The food here is a must try! I had the liver mousse and the smoked duck. Everything was cooked to perfection and the duck slid off of the bone with the perfect blend of spices. I did not get a picture of the duck as I had gobbled it up

One of my local friends recommend this place, and I'm so glad they did. The food was amazing, came out quickly, and cooked to perfection. The staff was also super friendly. Definitely will be stopping by next time I'm in town.

We had breakfast everyday here during our recent trip in New Orleans. That tells you how much we loved this place. Great food, superb service, reasonable prices and good vibe. It’s always a bit tricky for vegetarians to find food in the Southern states, but there are a couple of options at this restaurant. They could also do gluten-free buns!

My my my, best chicken and waffles ever. Best fried chicken of my life and them grits.. normally I put salt, pepper and butter on my grits. Don't mess with these grits y'all, they're perfect the way they get dropped on your table. This is your perfect little hole in the wall restaurant that has the most delicious food.

Breakfast this morning was absolutely outstanding! Thank you, Adam and your team for a wonderful dining experience! Definitely will visit again when I’m back in New Orleans. Looking forward to trying other menu options. If they are anything like I experienced this morning, I can’t wait to try them. Thanks again for everything!

The staff at this location is so friendly and attentive! The food was fresh and yummy! And there wasn’t a wait. I love this location!

The place had a nice vibe and the food overall was okay, but we personally didn’t enjoy the waffle and pancake — they had a weird sour taste that wasn’t for us. Everything else was fine, just not quite what we expected from brunch classics.

Great place to get breakfast or brunch in New Orleans. I got the pancake puffs with lemon. I feel like it’s more of a sharing plate, but it’s one of the items on the menu that popped out to me. The lemon sauce was pretty good, I think I prefer beignets over pancake puffs but again it was too cute not to order. I’ll definitely come back and order their savory dishes though.

What's not to love ❤️. Macy's got a D.j out of this world ❤️ !! Food was fantastic!! Shopping was easy soo many beautiful things

Very nice place. We went in a sunday and inside very beautiful and a lot of room to sit. I like it a love this placd

as malls around the country are dying, lakeside manages to be a bustling hotspot for the people here of the new orleans region. it definitely does not lack company. i come here often just to feel something that i have not felt much of since the 90s however, it comes with its limits. its smaller compared to other malls around the country that bring in similar revenue. which sure, is very admirable on lakeside's end. but as customers we are held back. their rising lack of affordable stores and limited size really holds this mall back from its true potential. its lacking a third space factor that this country needs more of. there isn't much to do besides strictly shop and eat while other malls are expanding their experiences to outlets such as theaters and arcades. its already missing hallmark stores like H&M and Old Navy. the foodcourt is mostly just generic chains. and you can probably shop the entire mall in just one visit.

I absolutely love Lakeside Mall. The food hall has great options, everyone is friendly, great to shop or just walk around and get your steps in. Skip the French quarter and get your beignet fix here at Cafe de Monde. I tried Smash burgers 🍔 yesterday , left 😋!

Boo! A makeup store in a prominent mall that closes at 7:00 p.m. is bad for business! I could see opening up late but what about those of us that work. I got here at 7:05 could not conduct business. I drove in from over an hour away because this was the closest store. Nuts! Not a fan! Ulta is my new makeup store. Said to say they're open the hours that I need them to be.

A male employee in the food court went above and beyond for us today and I wanted him to be recognized, if ya'll had an about our staff on your website with pictures it would be easier to recognize your employees for outstanding service. This employee made us feel seen and special which was unexpected.

Lakeside Shopping 🛍 Center Is a Definite Magnetic 🧲 Diamond 💎 Vibe with an Ultimate Shopping experience Great atmosphere

Thank you for this gem of a place. This tiny but powerful museum holds so much knowledge and history. My husband and I enjoyed every bit of the NOLA Historic Voodoo Museum.

Its a very interesting museum, but small. I paid $10 for the visit, it’s kinda fair, it’s a really different place. If you are a tourist, worth to go. But don’t expect too much things. The store is more commercial than handmade things.

“Ten Bucks to Meet the Loa? Bargain of the Afterlife.” If you’ve ever wondered what it feels like to be lovingly hexed by history, gently spooked by folklore, and spiritually side-eyed by a papier-mâché Baron Samedi, then friend, fork over your $10 and step into the spellbound shoebox that is the New Orleans Historic Voodoo Museum. This place is small. Like, “blink and you’re communing with Marie Laveau’s ghost in the broom closet” small. But what it lacks in square footage, it makes up for in soul, layered, dusty, and delightfully unbothered by modern museum polish. It’s part shrine, part fever dream, part grandma’s attic if grandma practiced hoodoo and collected cursed dolls. The exhibits? A glorious jumble of altars, gris-gris bags, chicken feet, and cryptic notes that may or may not be binding contracts with the spirit world. I tried to read one and accidentally promised my firstborn to a swamp deity named Earl. Worth it. The vibe? Equal parts reverent and kitsch. You’ll learn about the real roots of Voodoo—its West African origins, its syncretic evolution, its misunderstood magic—and you’ll do it while standing next to a mannequin that looks like it moonlights as a jazz saxophonist in the French Quarter. Staff? Chill. Like, “we know the spirits are watching, but we’re not gonna make a big deal about it” chill. They’ll answer your questions, point you toward the altar, and let you linger in the incense haze until you feel mildly possessed or deeply enlightened. Or both. Final verdict: For the price of a sad airport sandwich, you get a portal into a world where mystery reigns, history hums, and every corner whispers, “You’re not in Kansas anymore, cher.” A must-visit for anyone who likes their museums with a side of mojo and a dash of delightful disarray.

So incredibly interesting and educational- fun place to stop by for site seeing. Very small inside overall so if it's busy you end up bumping to people trying to read or look at items, gift shop is great! Would love to have had more education on what the money means. Great and friendly staff. This museum did provide me with an expanded cultural perspective and appreciation of voodoo as opposed to the propaganda of the mainstream media portrayal

We ducked inside to get out of the rain and at first glance thought it was just a trinket shop. However, it's actually a really intricate and educational museum explaining the history of voodoo. It's worth the cover charge if you're interested.

The New Orleans Historic Voodoo Museum is a hidden gem; intimate, powerful, and full of life. Madame Cinnamon Black is a true ambassador of wisdom and culture; her warmth and knowledge turn a simple visit into a deeply moving journey through the living traditions of New Orleans. An unforgettable experience for anyone who values authenticity and spirit.

It was only $10 to enter. The museum consists of two rooms filled with items depicting voodoo alters and old things that look of replicas found at Pier 1. Descriptions of items were either typed or handwritten so prepare for a lot of reading. It would be nice if they offered brief guided group tours giving more insight into the alters and saints being displayed. It had a small gift shop where you could purchase gris-gris bags and other little jewelry and finds, that was cute. The woman at the front desk was very knowledgeable about juju and spells. When in New Orleans I suppose it's a must see but no need to plan longer than 30 minutes. Side note... There were many alters where you could make an offering. I was impressed that no one was trying to steal the money, I guess that would be bad juju.

The ambiance at the Carousel Bar is amazing unique and lively. The air conditioning is excellent, making it a comfortable spot to relax. The menu focuses mostly on cocktails, so it’s best for those looking for a good drink experience rather than a wide food selection.

Such a great experience at the Carousel Bar & Lounge! This is the perfect hangout spot for professionals or anyone looking to unwind in a classy, laid-back setting. The ambience was chill and inviting, with a live band that set the perfect tone for the night. The atmosphere overall was lively but still comfortable you could relax, enjoy good conversation, and soak in the energy of New Orleans. Of course, the highlight is the carousel bar itself it slowly spins as you sip your drink, which was such a fun and unique experience! The vibe here is truly unmatched. Whether you’re a local or just visiting, this spot is an absolute must when in New Orleans.

Absolutely incredible experience! A local recommended this place and I’m so glad we listened. The Carousel Bar & Lounge exceeded every expectation. The atmosphere is pure magic - from the beautifully crafted cocktails served in elegant cut crystal glasses to the stunning circular bar with its ornate details and vintage charm. The bartenders are true artists who know their craft inside and out. Every drink was perfectly balanced and beautifully presented. The live jazz performance under the gorgeous crystal chandeliers with ambient purple lighting created such an intimate, sophisticated vibe. The lounge seating is comfortable and the whole space has that classic New Orleans elegance you dream about. The staff was exceptional - friendly, knowledgeable, and clearly passionate about what they do. The unique rotating bar concept adds such a fun element to the experience. This is exactly the kind of place that makes New Orleans special. Whether you’re a visitor or local, The Carousel Bar & Lounge is an absolute must-visit. We’ll definitely be back! Highly recommended for cocktail lovers, jazz enthusiasts, and anyone looking for an unforgettable New Orleans experience.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I stopped by the Carousel Bar at Hotel Monteleone and had such a great experience! The atmosphere is beautiful and unique — definitely a must-visit spot in New Orleans. I ordered a drink at the bar, and my server, Stephanie, was super friendly and attentive. She made the experience even better! Great service, great vibes, and amazing cocktails. I’ll definitely be back!

A must visit! The cocktails are made by proper bartenders who know what they are doing. Ours were fantastic. The rotating bar is fantastic, and the bar sits inside a beautiful hotel, which is also worth a look.

Obviously, this bar has a well-know main attraction. But the secret to a good time here can also involve simply ordering a plate of beignets and a glass of champagne for a night cap after dinner in the quarter. Either way, the service and atmosphere is second to none.

We only had cocktails. I had the French 007 ...it was delicious. Great atmosphere and good band playing. It's a novelty trip place. I recommend.

Wonderful urban park situated at the back end of the garden district, yet feels rather remote and distant from the roar of traffic and city life. This park was lovely, and had a very relaxing feel to it, unlike city park which felt more like a location one goes for activities such as golf, football practice or disc golf. The path was very nice, wide enough for pedestrians, dogs and cyclists alike, and runs parallel to a lovely stream. Forget your woes and come down and enjoy this lovely little breath of scenery.

Large, beautiful park. Convenient for locals and worth the drive for west-bankers.

Beautiful. I visited in the early morning and was already packed with people walking and running. What a beautiful place to enjoy God's creation. Very safe and perfect for exercise.

What a beautiful park! Well-manacured, serene trails, delightful fountain. I spent more time here than I thought I would. The park is directly across from Loyola and Tulane, yet many families with young children were enjoying themselves. There were several walkers, bikers and joggers but the park wasn't crowded or noisy. Just a great stop off the St Charles streetcar line!

Beautiful. HUGE! Great Gift etc etc Shoppe's. Wonderful and helpful employees throughout the Facility.

Great park. Recommend the "park loop" for walking, running, biking. Great for kids and pets. Periodic restrooms along the way.

Totally disappointed 😞 😒 On our last day in New Orleans we had purchased a pass to the Zoo and aquarium On our Last Day in New Orleans arrive at 10 am Tuesday morning to Find out the Zoo is Closed Tickets for the Zoo were purchased on Zoo website for package deals on Monday night ..Totally disappointed and having to wait until Thursday to try to get money back for Tickets that should not been sad and sketchy at the same time...The young security guard working that day young African American man deserves a raise 4sure he was awesome!!! Zoo on the other needs to not sell tickets for days that you are closed border line Tom Foolery and Shenanigans!!!! Totally disappointed In Cincinnati.....

I love Creole food, love, love, love. However, I don’t love Galatoire’s. The food, looks the part, but doesn’t taste it. To start, you make reservations by credit card, so if you don’t show, they charge you. That’s fair, I guess. But we arrived, were promptly seated, and waited over 10 minutes before we even got our menus. It’s important to note that GW Fins is right around the corner, and we would have just left and gone there, which I wish we had. They finally brought us bread and water, so it was too late to politely leave. The bread was simply not good; it was soft but lacked flavor. Willing to give the restaurant a fair shake, I ordered quite a bit from the menu. I got an appetizer sampler of shrimp, crawfish, fried bacon oysters, and crab, all nasty. I ordered Oysters Rockefeller; they looked really gross and tasted even worse. I tried the seafood gumbo and the duck gumbo, both tasting off, with the gumbo filé overpowering in a burnt flavor and a hint of tomato, which was really odd. You can see the pics, we didn’t eat much. I ordered shrimp étouffée; at least the shrimp were cooked properly, but the sauce was just gross. I ordered the filet mignon, requested medium, but it came rare, it was at least edible. Ordered cheesy potatoes au gratin to accompany it; they were not great. For drinks, I ordered a vodka soda water, but they used ginger ale instead of soda water. To top it all off, I got the black pecan cake with vanilla ice cream. The ice cream was two tiny dabs that looked like a garnish on the cake, but the cake itself was actually quite nice, though a bit overpowering. The highlight of the night was our waitress, Britney. She was incredible. Believe it or not, I didn’t complain once about any dish, paid for everything, smiled, and said all was fine. She questioned why we didn’t eat much, but I didn’t have the heart to make her feel bad, it wasn’t her fault, and she did a great job. The food, however, isn’t worth trying. I swear, the dishes were so bad they must’ve been cooked by the ghosts of New Orleans’ worst chefs haunting the kitchen! It gets a lot of good reviews, which either tells me I came on a bad night or people have no idea what good Creole is. I assure you, Galatoire’s isn’t it. There are many great spots in New Orleans. I recommend trying others before coming here.

I did not want to eat here as they have a dress code, but my spouse wanted to. It's NOLA. It's muggy. It's outrageously muggy. Jackets are required at dinner but lunch was more casual requiring just long pants and a collared shirt, so that's what we did. For the record, loaner jackets are available. ATMOSPHERE: The dining room is very plain, not warm or elegant especially with the tacky wall mirror that encircles the entire room. For a place that has a dress code, I was expecting more. It was fairly empty at lunch sans for a large party that made as much noise as if the restaurant was fully packed. MENU: Higher end apps, soup, salads, omelettes, poultry, shellfish, fish, meats, desserts. FOOD: Garlic Bread In addition to melted butter, fresh garlic was visible on each slice. I didn't have any due to its offensiveness and didn't want to get full on a filler. Oysters en Brochette This appetizer was my favorite selection of the entire lunch. The oysters were delicately fried with an airy batter and drizzled with a butter sauce and bacon bits. Simply delish. Soufflé Potatoes How in the world did they make these?! They're like large steak fries that are hollowed out, leaving just the exterior skin and batter. As you cut them they deflate like a jumping castle being taken down, lol. A decadent béarnaise sauce accompanied. Turtle Soup au Sherry This is one dish I had to try while in NOLA and I was happy they offered it. It was tomato-based like a minestrone and tasted like it too, with minced turtle meat that was similar in texture to abalone. You wouldn't even know you're eating turtle. Shrimp Marguery I had a hard time deciding which shellfish dish to order and chose this, unfortunately, by reading others' reviews. I imagined plump, seared shrimp bathed in smooth, creamy sauces. What I received were six shrimp drowning in a pool of hollandaise and béchamel sauces in a small baking dish that was broiled. The result was an Exxon-like oil spill, with the sauces separating from their binders that left a clumpy mess. To add insult to injury, the shrimp weren't seared at all, pretty much just boiled in the oils. Filet Mignon My spouse's visually unappealing dish. For an additional cost came a ramekin of hollandaise sauce. That's all that was on the plate - the steak sprinkled with parsley and the cup of hollandaise. While less is usually more, it looked like it was plated by a child. Looks aside, the filet's temperature was served pretty raw and not even close to rare. Sad. Potatoes au Gratin Besides fingerling potatoes, au gratin is my second least favorite preparation style, but I really like it here due to its moisture and cheesiness. SERVICE: Female server took great care of us. She was very friendly, pleasant and professional. Thank you! OVERALL: Some people love this type of dining but not me. Enjoyable apps, great service. Not a return for us due to the lackluster entrees.

Went to the infamous fried chicken brunch. Arrived on time. Was seated quickly. Then sat there. A random server gave us water. Food was just placed on our table with no explanation of acknowledgment. Bare minimum for 2 people. Still no one came to check on us. I had to ask someone passing for a soda. I had to ask a busboy for our check. When he asked how was it I told him horrible. He asked to give it another try. I’m not wasting over $160 again for 2 people. NEVER. My money spends just like everybody else. And a sweet potato pie doesn’t make everything all good.

I came here expecting a true New Orleans classic, and while the food itself was solid, the service left a lot to be desired. We were seated at 7:00, and by 9:00 we had only been served one round of drinks. Dinner was nowhere in sight, and there wasn’t much urgency from the staff to check in or move things along. For a restaurant with this reputation and price point, the pacing was disappointing and really took away from the experience. Once the food did arrive, it was good — traditional flavors, well-prepared, and worth the wait from a culinary standpoint. Unfortunately, the painfully slow service overshadowed what could have been a memorable meal. If you’re planning a visit, expect good food but be prepared to spend the entire evening waiting for it.

What a day! We spent the week in the Quarter and by far this was the best event of the trip!!! Galatoire's Friday Lunch is a must do experience! This was the one place my father in-law said "we must do", so not going wasn't an option. Just getting a reservation in and of it's self was a task because it's so iconic. My wife called months in advance to try and book, but due to the Halloween festivities it was almost impossible. A huge THANK YOU to Caroline Oliver. She was so nice, communicative, and accommodating working with us. We arrived early for our 11:30am reservations, but not to worry because their bar was already open. We passed through the dinning room as the service staff was in a lineup getting prepared for the day's service. Even though it was all business one server acknowledge us and made us feel immediately welcomed. We enjoyed cocktails at the bar which we thought would be dead, but it was alive and well. We knew that this was going to be an extra special experience based on the elaborate costumes people were wearing for Halloween. We were promptly seated and the ambience was already at a rolling bubble, ready to boil. As fate would have it the same server who greeted us in the staff lineup was also our server to the day, and I'm so thankful she was! Candace Dickey or "Ace" absolutely made our experience! She immediately made us feel at home and took control of our dinning cadence, allowing us relax and enjoy our day. She was maestro to our bacchanalia. The food was spot on: hot, fresh, classic, and full of the flavor's of New Orleans that stay with you a lifetime. The entire staff was on point all around, it felt like we were at a party not a restaurant. We even got to compliment the chef! A second line band even came through and sent the whole dinning room into a festive frenzy! This was a dinning experience I will never forget. In my 15+ years of restaurant management from Tampa, to L.A., and Atlanta; the service and dinning experience from start to finish is what excellence is all about. Thank you to the manager who greeted us as we left and to all the staff that made our trip one of the greats!

I was not impressed to say the least. The restaurant closes at 9 and they accepted our reservation at 9 but the hostess never told the kitchen so we were kind of rushed to order our food. We were placed in a corner as a group of 7. Our server tried her best to give us a good experience but everything else from everyone else felt very rushed. Very disappointed in the food. Specifically the “rockerfeller oysters”. I have never is my life seen black rockerfeller oysters. They were very hard to get out the shell and whatever the topping was , was very mushy. I tried to eat what I could but it just wasn’t it. My cousin’s pork chop was not even edible. Very over done. The gumbo was lukewarm and saltiness. I understand they were closing but don’t rush and half ass do things at the expense of your customers when you’re the one who accepted the reservation.

Amazing food, cocktails and service. The ambiance is nice too. The front dining room is a little bit stuffy and you are required to have a jacket if you're a man. This is like old school fine dining. The back dining room is perfect for families or us heathens that didn't bring fancy clothes. All the food is well cooked, presented beautifully and beyond tasty. The drinks are well mixed and balanced. I definitely recommend making a trip here.

Small counter-service shop with inventive and unusual poboy and other sandwich options. Fast service and delicious food. We had the sweet potato poboy with collard greens and pecan/black-eye pea spread. Great idea and flavors but the collard greens overwhelmed everything else. We also had the seared shrimp poboy which was excellent in every way: crispy shrimp (and lots of them), crunchy cucumbers and carrots - a great mix of hot and cold, and different textures. Very chill place, but a bit grimy and gritty - but that’s kind of New Orleans, so not a surprise. We’ll be back to try the pork belly and the cauliflower poboys.

The Beef Debris is best poboy I've ever had. The flavor of this sandwich was like nothing I've ever had before. The seasoning of the beef along with the pickled green beans and banana peppers were out of this world. Definitely recommend!

Yeah the only thing this place killed was my wallet. Way over priced for really bad food. We tried the pork belly, which I liked bf didn’t, and the shrimp which was the worst thing that I’ve put in my mouth in New Orleans. Bf ate the shrimp off of it but not the over vinegared carrot mess of a sandwich. Should have asked locals where to go for a good poboy cause they agreed with us.

Holy cow was this good. The shrimp po boy had so many flavors. Picked carrots. Cilantro! Cooked amazing. And the smothered greens!? Great flavors and wish I woulda come back here instead of trying a po boy somewhere else. Y'all set the bar with this! Thank you!

Never heard of "PoBoy" before I visited New Orleans. Well, it is a fancy name for a baguette, but this place makes it to perfection! The bread itself was one of the best baguette I have had in the US so far. The mixture of juicy seared shrimp from the Gulf, pickled carrots, radish, cucumbers, sriracha aioli and fresh herbs was just a wonder composition and great explosion for my taste buds. Highly recommend if you like sea food! Rounded it up with a locally crafted pilsner. Thanks - those poboys are indeed killer!!! Btw I gave the atmo a full five star, because they had great music. The ambiance is more simple easy sit in lunch/dinner spot. Not very special.

Killer Poboys lives up to the name—well, at least one of them does! I tried the cauliflower po’boy first and… it was okay. A bit bland, and I only made it halfway through before I decided to move on. The potato salad was more exciting—spicy with a strong hit of dill. If you like bold, herby flavors, you’ll enjoy it (maybe not the most kid-friendly side, though). But the real MVP? The BBQ tofu po’boy. Wow. Smoky, saucy, flavorful—it completely stole the show and made me glad I gave the menu another shot. Not everything hit the mark, but I’d absolutely come back for that tofu po'boy!

It's been a few years and I finally remembered the name of this place. First off the service. Walked in before the lunch rush and was greeted terribly. Staff seemed disengaged and not happy to be there. Did not really want to respond to questions. For the food. I ordered a Shrimp PoBoy with Collard Greens as the side along with a "Sweet Tea". For the tea I was given iced tea and was told to squeeze High Fructose Corn Syrup in the cup from squeeze bottles off to the right of the counter. That stuff doesn't blend well with cold. Back to the food itself the portion vs cost is terrible I remember paying $17 for a 6in PoBoy, side and a drink. The breading lacked seasoning and the shrimp was partially dry. Bread was pretty good however. The most damning part of the meal though was the Collard Greens. I don't know how it happened and I don't care to know, but they were BURNT. I have had a lot of soul food over the years and never have I been served burnt Greens. Eventually I may travel back to Nola to try food there again thanks to Chimetime and give this place a redemption arc. I will never order collards here again though. It may have been an off day for y'all and I understand things happen. Inwish the business well, just wanted to leave MY opinion.

Great place for a quick breakfast. If there isn’t a long line, the eggs are amazing and all the croissants we tried were delicious. Will be coming back for some cake later and the coffee was good too.

Meh. Was hoping to find a great French Patisserie in the French Quarter. Instead we found this place. It was mostly just good, not bad and definitely not great. Easy walk from the French Market and Jackson Square. Tried a half dozen or so of the pastries as well as the Spinach Quiche. The quiche was pretty good, and a nice flaky crust. Good flavor but the microwaving to heat it up gave it a slightly rubbery texture. The laminated pastries though, ugh. VERY bready! Whoever was handling their lamination definitely needs to go somewhere and learn proper lamination. Anything with laminated dough was all the same, bad to mediocre. You can see from the pictures that the Croissants look like something you get from a can made by Pillsbury. The Apple filled croissant tasted like the filling was straight from a can. They had some really cute pastries and cakes they call "animals" that we didn't try. The star of the show was the Tarte au Citron (Lemon Tart). The tart shell was good a flaky. The lemon filling was excellent. The meringue was tasty and piped well. Just a little over torched which gave it a slightly bitter taste. Overall a very good lemon tart and I would order it again. The atmosphere was wonderful and they had a fantastic courtyard. Most of the service was very good. The biggest complaint, and reason for only 2 stars on service was the lady at the register. Didn't greet us and seemed bored and could care less. Did not help with recommendations and was uninterested in answering any questions. Sorry to be a bother ma'am. We'll just go elsewhere next time. Would I recommend? Hmmm. If you are going for croissants or laminated pastry or the highest quality of pastry, no, I would not recommend. If you are looking for a place close to the French Quarter and nice atmosphere but food quality and service don't matter then yes, I would recommend.

The baked goods we got were delicious!!! The vibes of the shop were adorable and we had a lovely time sitting and eating breakfast!! It was VERY busy, but the employees were nice, helpful, and VERY efficient. We did not have to wait too long.

I was recommended this place from my high school French teacher and needless to say it definitely did not disappoint. The atmosphere is just what I envisioned a little patisserie in France to be like. They have a nice little menu for breakfast/brunch as well as PLENTY of pastries from their cases. I got a croque Madame, a fruit tart, and a mocha and loved every bit of everything. My dad got a ham, egg, and cheese croissant and he enjoyed that as well. I can’t wait to go back next time I’m in New Orleans!

Food was great. Service was FANTASTIC! Super great, friendly and efficient staff. They had orders coming out pretty quickly and were doing so with smiles on their faces. Will definitely be coming back next time I’m in town.

Grabbed several slices of cake for my daughter's birthday. Did not disappoint! The tirismu cake - chefs kiss! We went the next day for breakfast. A very tasty menu and they offer daily specials. A quaint French atmosphere with amazing decor.

This bakery is adorable and the food is delicious. There's a courtyard with a fountain as well. I highly recommend the raspberry croissant and cherry Danish. It's a lovely place to start your day.

I picked up some Beigel’s challah which was very stale and dry Trader Joe has a much better choice. Shoppers should also check the dates on the packages because sometimes his products are still on the shelf after the “use by” date And there are no returns—

We traveled to NOLA for a work conference. They provided our breakfast and we also came to eat at the restaurant for dinner. All of their food was fresh and delicious. Staff members were super friendly. Would definitely eat here again if I ever come to New Orleans.

I’ve had this one on my to do list for a while. Recently saw a tik tok highlighting the restaurant and made a decision to get over here finally. Had a ruben, but asked for corned beef and pastrami. It was delicious. I also tried the mini egg rolls which were spot on. The staff is very friendly. Next time I need to leave some time to browse the store and pick up some grocery items. Not enough time this trip as I needed to get to the airport. Overall great experience.

I’ve been wanting to come here for a while and today we finally were able to! We live an hour away and it was worth the drive. I’ve been wanting to find a store with Israeli snacks and food and this is it! We got lunch and it was DELICIOUS! The cashier was so nice and helpful. We got matzoh soup, Rueben sandwiches, and fresh halva. Plus lots of snacks! They have lots of judaica gift/ book items too. I definitely recommend stopping.

Amazing Kosher deli with traditional and Cajun offerings! It was great to be able to eat some traditional Cajun foods I’ve never been able to find without pork. I recommend the Red Beans and Rice and the Jambalaya. The grocery section is filled with Kosher and Israeli snack options.

Felt like you were home Food was delic. Warm atmosphere We were able to eat kosher Louisiana cooking if wanted The owner Joel Brown and his wife were beyond gracious hosts. Sports memrobelia all over his store. All types of Kosher groceries to purchase. All types of people come to eat at this Delic establishment which has been around for 36 years. Highly highly recommend

Incredible kosher food, burgers were delicious and better than any burger I’ve ever eaten in New York. The store has cool history on the walls and all these sports memorabilia, the owner Joel is very nice! I got chicken nuggets and they were so good and the burgers were super juicy. They sell a lot of kosher food in the supermarket section of the shop which is great for if u ever find yourself in Metairie. Prices are reasonable too. It’s a cool shop would definitely recommend u can spend all day in there
