Need a place to eat?
I have a goal to eat at every restaurant in New Orleans. Only Orleans Parish restaurants count (if I include Metairie, etc., it would be truly impossible, this is just close to impossible). My last count had about 600 restaurants total – I don’t include chains (except for now and then) and have a semi-rule that to be a restaurant, it has to have more table seats than bar seats. All of this was inspired by Ray Cannata, a pastor who moved to NOLA after Katrina and proceeded to eat at every restaurant in town. The documentary, The Man Who Ate New Orleans, was my primary inspiration to tally these places.
On a side note, I once had one of the largest private collections of Underberg in North America and I am very good at parallel parking.
In the list below, an asterisk means the restaurant is no longer with us - as of October 2, 2023, I have 193 defunct restaurants on my list.
A typical tourist type place in the Quarter, but the beauty of this tourist trap is that you have great New Orleans music. The first time I went here, I saw Jeremy Lyon’s and the Delta Billy Boys. They were excellent. The food is pretty basic stuff, but one thing that is appealing, especially to the out-of-towners, is that they serve fried gator as an appetizer.
