"New Orleans's famous Baquet family oversees this laid-back establishment and its brunch buffet, which serves as a primer in Creole cuisine. It's a no-nonsense operation here; don't expect complicated cocktails or six versions of avocado toast. You’re here for the variety of local specialities on offer, not to see and be seen. If for no other reason, come for the fried chicken, a closely guarded family recipe that's famous throughout the city; you'll have to taste it to understand why." - Andrew Parks
