Start your day off with a classic taste of New Orleans; coffee and a beignet. As seen on Travel Channel’s Man v. Food Nation.

The fried chicken rivals that at nearby Willie Mae’s, and the fried catfish will be some of the best you’ve ever had. [Eater 38 Member]
A meat-centric spot chef Isaac Toups and his wife Amanda. House-cured meat and house-made sausages (plus other non-meat options). Oh, and they have insanely good Doberge cake. [Eater 38 Member]
Traditional Louisiana cooking gets a little inspiration from a worldwise, James Beard award-winning chef at this restaurant. Try the oysters three ways for a tasty appetizer with Southern roots.
Amazing fried chicken, often called the best in town. The food and atmosphere are quintessential New Orleans, among the best you’ll find in town. [Eater 38 Member]
Tucked into the back of the French Quarter's Erin Rose bar, this kitchen makes po' boys that present more like chef-y banh mi sandwiches.
Reservations required. The three or five- dip options plus a hummus are enough to make a meal for two. Vegetarian options galore.
This outrageously delicious menu will bring you to the edge, push you over it, then leave you begging for more. Don't miss the General Lee's Chicken and read all about it on WinstonWanders below! Read more.
After crushing a dozen of their famed, hot, crispy, buttery Char-Grilled Oysters, I've deemed the reputation entirely well-deserved. Read all about this French Quarter classic on WinstonWanders below! Read more.
The home of the OG Muffuletta. Each bite is a perfect blend of salty sliced meat, hearty, dense bread, and bright, tangy, crisp pickled vegetables. Read all about it WinstonWander.com.
The Surf & Turf Poboy is great, but I prefer the shrimp-only version — it stays nice and crispy. If they've got fried pickles, get 'em along with a long neck of Barqs. Read more on WinstonWander.com!!
Another winner from Chef John Besh. Great bistro style food in a comfortable atmosphere. -Rick Tramonto, Top Chef
You’re walking into history when you walk in here. Restaurant opened in 1918—it’s been through it all. Drink of choice? The French 75, their signature cocktail. Heck, have a few. It’s Nawlins.
Eater National 38 member: Join the feast of Creole classics with oysters Rockefeller covered in a lava of pureed greens, fried trout, and pompano heightened by brown butter and crabmeat. Read more.
Off the beaten tourist path- live music, great food, no vomiting frat boys who can't handle their liquor. It's where adults go to have a good time and soak up that NOLA vibe.
There’s plenty to love about Nina Compton’s inventive, flavorful Caribbean-inspired cocktails and cuisine. To read all about these exciting new New Orleans flavors, head to WinstonWanders.com.
Get a barstool if you can. Order a Vieux Carré and while the world is spinning around you, imagine what this place was like when the drink was invented here in 1938.
What a phenomenal place! Do not miss it. The space is small, so it's really worth it to buy VIP tickets online: no waiting in line, perfect seats, great music. Do this!
Supposedly haunted- nothing ghostly happened during our visit. Great decor + cool history. Bartender is super nice and drinks are yum. Guests of Hotel Dauphine get 1 free drink ticket per adult.
Love this bar when it's not too claustrophobic, the metal upstairs is awesome, and Rochelle the bartender rocks!
Buy a bottle of wine in the shop up front, and take it to the torchlit back garden for some globalized bistro fare—think hangar steaks and grilled baby octopus with chimichurri. Read more.
