New Orleans has AMAZING restaurants and yummy food! We tried almost all of the Cajun, Creole, and French dishes that the French Quarter and New Orleans are known for. Here are some of my favorites.
Super delicious breakfast......pecan waffles....Cajun style french bread toast. I loved the name of the place too.
Cafe Du Monde.....Beignets. This place is KNOWN for their French doughnuts. They are great! The line to get in is a mile long most of the day (they are open 24 hours). Be prepared to leave COVERED in powdered sugar.
My FAVORITE dinner place was called Deannies Seafood. They brought out boiled potatoes that were cooked in the Crawfish (aka Mudbug) boil. They were SUPER spicy potatoes! My favorite part of their menu is the Barbecue Shrimp. BBQ shrimp in New Orleans is COMPLETELY different to the BBQ that you are probably thinking of. It is a mix of spices, butter, and worcestershire sauce. The shrimp were HUGE and sooooooo finger-lickin' good! Ha!
My order of crawfish....YUM!
Oyster Bar....a little too muddy for me.
Mom at the French Quarter Festival with an enormous hot link po-boy. I love the expression on her face.
BBQ shrimp cooking for po-boy sandwiches.
Mom with a bowl of jambalaya.
One of the best sandwiches I have had in my life. I had seen Samantha Brown talk about these on her travel show and then I realized really how popular they are once I got to N.O. They are amazing and I have to admit that I had to go back twice. Scrumptious!
