lookingtorelax Posted March 17, 2008 #1 Share Posted March 17, 2008 The night before our cruise, we will have a group of 50 that will be staying in NO. We don't all need to get together, but I would like to be able to give everyone some great ideas on where to visit and eat. This may be the only time many of us make a visit to NO. Can anyone help out with some favorite food places and fun stops. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wolfganghowell Posted March 18, 2008 #4 Share Posted March 18, 2008 Gumbo Shop in the Quarter is our total fave - we eat almost every meal there. It's on St Peter a few blocks down from Pat O'Briens. Pat O's is a must do for the drinkers in your crowd. Court of Three Sisters is excellent. Desire Oyster Bar is another great option. Most places in the Quarter are small so bear that in mind. Cafe du Monde is a great stop for beignets and cafe au lait for a late night or a morning stop. Hope this helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NAW2 Posted March 18, 2008 #5 Share Posted March 18, 2008 I grew up in New Orleans and some of my favorite places to eat in the French Quarter are: Ralph and Kackoos (for great seafood dishes) and the House of Blues (for a variety of southern cruisine). Uptown I recommend Superior Grill for it's mexican food and drinks (the margaritas are excellent). I also recommend Cafe Du Monde for the beignets and coffee for either dessert or breakfast.

98Charlie Posted March 19, 2008 #7 Share Posted March 19, 2008 Acme Oyster House. We found it right after our last cruise from NOLA. Ate there in the evening and again the next day before we left for our flight home. Charlie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We love Mulate's...good food, awesome local entertainment, and a great place to watch the locals dance that crazy Cajun two-step. It's on Julia Street in the warehouse district...across the street from the Convention Center, Riverwalk, and the cruise ships. They can also accommodate large groups. Just google the name and you'll find their website. Their bread pudding is divine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

map70065 Posted March 27, 2008 #10 Share Posted March 27, 2008 Thanks for the reply. That is a new place I had not heard of yet. DC A lot of people don't make it to Mulates - and it is a lot of fun. It's one of the places you can see true Cajun food and traditions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have only been to NOLA once, I was just a little tiny girl (yes I was tiny at one time) anyone my mom ordered Frog Legs, I tasted them and to this day I love them, but rarely find anyplace that serves them.
