"A favorite for visitors and locals alike, Commander's Palace is a New Orleans landmark known for its award-winning Creole fare and elegant jazz brunch. MoreCallReserveStart Your ReservationWebsite"

"At first glance, GW Fins looks like typical French Quarter fine dining, but it’s the innovative approach to seafood that really sets it apart from its peers. Chef Tenney Flynn changes the entrées daily, depending on what maritime delights his dockside sources have for him. The most sought-after dish, though, is the Scalibut, a halibut and scallop combination that’s a true original."

"If you enjoy seafood dishes with a bit of international flair, then GW Fins is a good option. On the menu, you will find dishes featuring seafood from everywhere from the Gulf to New Zealand. The restaurant is co-owned by Gary Wollerman and Chef Tenney Flynn."

"Gents should wear a collared shirt but leave your coats and ties at home. GW Fins has served food in the French Quarter since 2001 and th..."

"About Oysters: Opened in 1910, the Acme Oyster House is the place for shucking oysters in New Orleans. Everything is fresh and eating here is fun as oysters are all they do. Felix’s Oyster House gives Acme a run for its money and Drago’s is a good backup spot to eat on really busy days."

"Acme Oyster House has been around since 1910 and since then, has been a staple in the upper French Quarter. If you’re into oysters, this is the place to go to get them fresh and chargrilled."

"According to The Culture Trip, the best seafood restaurant in New Orleans is Peche Seafood Grill. Located in the Warehouse District, this eatery is part of the Donald Link Restaurant Group. The menu includes unpretentious coastal dishes including dishes such as grilled tuna with olive salad, catfish and pickled greens, gulf fish topped with salsa verde, and noodles with ground shrimp."

"The best fishing hole for miles may be the Warehouse District’s kind-of-rustic, sort-of-industrial dining room, where the great catches include catfish with pickled greens, a Louisiana shrimp roll and a model caramel cake. Small wonder that the James Beard Foundation presented Peche with awards last year for both Best New Restaurant and Best Chef: South."

"About Crawfish: Known as Crawdads and Crawlers, Crawfish (cray-fish) are one of the coolest things to eat in New Orleans. They are only in season from February-June otherwise they would be higher on our list. These mini-lobsters are delicious and you can literately buy them by the bucket full."

"But they had preconceived notions about what an alligator would taste like. They were so nervous but ate it anyway!. I think it was pretty good and on the salty side!"

"An Ultimate seafood platter includes fried shrimp, oysters, fish, Cajun-seasoned fries and a biscuit. Delivery available in the French Quarter and CBD."

"While you could easily spend another day or two in the heart of the city, I recommend getting out to the countryside and seeing another part of Louisiana: the Bayou. Most swamp tours are located at least an hour outside of the center and offer round trip transport at an extra charge. We went with Cajun Encounters on aboat ride through the famous Honey Swamp. While on the tour, we spotted multiple (!!) alligators as well as several species of birds, raccoons, and more."

"Gulf shrimp Ya-Ya pasta includes grape tomatoes sauteed in Cajun pesto over penne pasta and is served with garlic toast. Reservations accepted. Lunch, dinner and late-night daily."

"A New Orleans neighborhood restaurant in Metairie, The Galley has one of the most extensive seafood menus in the city. While other seafood restaurants present a pretty standard set of dishes that do not vary much from the offerings of competitors, The Galley menu boasts a combination of classics and imaginative dishes that you will not find elsewhere in the city. Some of the highlights of the menu include the soft-shell crab platter, seasonally served boiled crawfish, blackened redfish, and Crawfish hush puppies."

"Located on Metairie Road, Galley Seafood will give you a taste of what real Louisiana seafood should be. Famous for their po-boys, you can find stuffed crab, oyster, or shrimp po-boys along with some house specialties you’re sure to want to try. Of course, you’ll discover quite the variety on the menu, starting with crab cakes or fried calamari for an appetizer."

"2535 Metairie Road, Metairie, (504) 832-0955; www.thegalleyseafood.net. A combination seafood platter includes fried shrimp, oysters and catfish, salad and a side."

"Crabby Jack’s is one of New Orleans’ most popular down-home Cajun lunch restaurants. Their specialty is po’ boy sandwiches, and they have a lot of them. Diners and critics alike heap praise on this casual po’ boy shop."

"This ‘no frills’ eatery is perfect for trying the iconic shrimp Po’ boy. Crabby Jack’s doesn’t skimp on their ingredients, serving up these deliciously stuffed sandwiches."

"Located in the historic Gem Theater—one of only two remaining African American movie theaters still standing in the city—Zony Mash Beer Project is both a brewery and an entertainment space. Named after the title of an album of rare B-side songs by New Orleans funk band The Meters, Zony Mash offers 21 taps in the tasting room and a robust line of brews using ingredients like coffee from local roaster, Congregation; additions include carrot and dragon fruit juices, coriander and butterfly pea. Year-round brews include Tiny Bubbles (a sparkling ale), Pillow Talk (a “fluffy” IPA) and Run for the Rosé (a wine hybrid ale)."

"Zony Mash is beautiful on the inside, a stunningly re-imagined microbrewery-take on the former Gem Theater. But its outdoor beer garden has been the center of the action lately, showcasing a rotation of popup eateries, as well as Zony Mash brews sold from the brewery’s tricked-out beer bus. As owner Adam Ritter said, “When the weather is nice, and it’s feeling right, it’s great.” Recent eats have included Zee’s Pizzeria and Doughtown’s Detroit-style pies as well as Bub’s Burgers, Southerns (of fried chicken sandwich fame) and the culinary talents of Luncheon."

"One of Port Orleans’ investors/owners is former New Orleans Saint Zach Strief, and the Saints love is everlasting — witness beers like Sean Payton blonde ale and the recently released Gl37son IPA (a portion of the profits go to the care (and adventures) or people with ALS, like Steve Gleason.) But it’s not a sports brewery. It’s a brewery that takes pride in a beer well made, and the importance of enjoying those beers with friends and over food."

"The plates are made to pair with the beers at Port Orleans Brewing’s casual taproom & adjoining brewery. Additionally, they’re just a few blocks down from NOLA’s taproom. During my visit, there were 15 beers on tap, ranging from classic lagers to boozy and complex bourbon barrel-aged brews."

"Located in the Broadmoor neighborhood, Broad Street Cider produces handcrafted ciders and meads in small batches with no artificial flavors or added sugars. The dry and semi-dry ciders and meads are gluten-free, unfiltered, unpasteurized and have no added sulfites. Head to the taproom for not only the standard offerings but also limited specialty releases available on draft and to-go in jar fills."

"Address: 2723 S Broad StreetNew Orleans, LA 70125Phone: (504) 405-1854Website. Try a craft brewery experience with a twist at Broad Street Cider. At Broad Street, they’re making hand-crafted ciders and meads in small batches based on apple juice from Michigan and the Pacific Northwest."

"So far, Broad Street Cider is the only cidery in New Orleans. No worries though, they’re pumping out enough variety to keep visitors and locals intrigued. When I visited there nearly a dozen ciders on tap, plus a number of guest taps."
