Best Breakfast and Brunch Places in Boutte

"If you’re off to a slower start or you’re in New Orleans for the weekend, Brunch at Commander’s Palace is unmissable. Located in the Garden District among the houses and mansions of the first Americans who settled the city in the early 19th century, the upper floors of the restaurant offers some clues to its life before it was a world-famous, James Beard award-winning eatery. (Reservations highly recommended!)"

"Garden District Not all classic New Orleans restaurants live in the French Quarter. Uptown in the Garden District, right across from Lafayette Cemetery No.1, is the famous Commander’s Palace. You might recognize the former head chef’s name: Emeril Lagasse, who helmed the Palace’s kitchen in the '80s, long before “Bam!"

"You can’t miss the grand turquoise Victorian restaurant Commander’s Palace when you’re strolling through the Garden District and it shouldn’t be skipped!. Enjoy a fine Creole dining experience that makes you feel like you’ve gone back in time."

"Housed inside an old New Orleans mansion on Magazine Street, Cavan brings a modern menu into the historical venue. The décor, as well as the patrons, are chic, the food is contemporary and incorporates global flavors, and the cocktails are strong and crafty. It’s definitely a place that comes to mind for date-night or the start to a girls’ night out; however, the younger patrons get just as spoiled as their cool, more grown-up guests."

"In a converted 19th-century mansion, which still manages to retain much of its spookiness you’ll find a brunch menu that’s not afraid of bold flavors. Case in point: avocado toast cut with cabbage, nouc cham, and celery root, a patty melt with a welcome blast of fermented chili butter funk, and buttermilk pancakes topped with honey bacon butter and bourbon maple syrup."

Lurking on the seafood-focused menu is one of the city’s finest non-seafood po boys, the Cochon de Lait, overstuffed with pecan smoked pork, spicy Coleslaw, pickled peppers and a zipped up mayonnaise made with charred onion.
