The 18 Best Restaurants In The French Quarter - New Orleans - The Infatuation

"Broussard’s is the place to experience classic New Orleans cuisine with old-school fine dining service. And it feels like four different restaurants, really, with two dining rooms inside, a buzzing bar area, and a courtyard with what’s said to be the oldest wisteria tree in the French Quarter. Start with the Oysters Broussard, a wild combo of textures and flavors that takes fried oysters and pairs them with salty thick-cut bacon and creamy spinach. The bronzed redfish in all its buttery glory is a non-negotiable entree, as is the gingery, cinnamony pear galette for dessert. Make a reservation to eat in the dining room or courtyard, but get there early during Happy Hour for a rare $5 cocktail." - megan braden perry, zella palmer
