29 Iconic French Quarter Dining Experiences

"Supposedly the country’s oldest structure to be used as a bar, Lafitte’s is a space where music, drinks, and colorful history collide. Sidle up to the bar for a Voodoo Daiquiri but head to the piano for a serenade by one of the bar's various well-versed crooners (don't forget to tip)." - Eater Staff
