The Best Restaurants in the French Quarter

"The front of the house is as important as the back of the house at this historic restaurant. Locals ask for their waiter by name upon entering the family-run staple that has long been known for lines down the street for Friday lunch. Word to the wise: The overall experience is perhaps more responsible for its popularity than the food itself, so ask your waiter what to order and take that suggestion. Soft-shell crab is a must when it’s available." - Clair Lorell
