Creole restaurant · French Quarter

"Wander down Esplanade towards the Mississippi early in the morning, and run smack into the French Market as it’s coming to life, a beehive of sellers unpacking their wares, artists setting up shop, and food vendors preparing all manner of delectables. The market, originally a Choctaw trading post dating back to 1791, is a six-block open-air colonnade of produce, souvenirs, and under-appreciated freshly prepared local dishes ranging from Gulf oysters to muffulettas. Check Meals From the Heart for good-for-you dishes and Alberto’s for a muffuletta rivaling that other place across the street." - Beth D'Addono
