Historic Creole fine-dining spot with intimate courtyard
"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

"Part of a Creole-focused restaurant group offering both Christmas Eve and Christmas Day menus as well as a four-course Réveillon option; the experience is driven by Creole classics and local seafood and is best enjoyed in the restaurant’s gorgeous courtyard when weather permits." - Clair Lorell
"Broussard’s has won countless accolades for its execution of classic dishes like turtle soup, oysters Rockefeller, and barbecue shrimp — all of which taste even better eaten outside on a balmy evening in this century-old restaurant’s inviting courtyard." - Eater Staff
"Broussard’s is serving an a la carte feast for the holiday, with service from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. Thanksgiving day. Choose from the likes of warm skillet cornbread with Gruyere, Creole turtle soup, duck and alligator sausage gumbo, bronzed redfish with blue crab, and roast turkey with andouille dressing." - Beth D’Addono
