Answer 2

For Cajun food try K-Pauls on Chartres Street:

The Palm Court restaurant is very nice, has moderate prices, and traditional live jazz starting at 8:00pm: 1204 Decatur Street, tel [phone] (reservations are important and they are not open every day). The Palm Court is closed from about July 25th to about September 25th each year.

Maximo's Italian Grill has great food and atmosphere: 1117 Decatur Street in the French Quarter, [phone].

All of the famous restaurants (Antoine's, Arnaud's, Brennan's, Commander's Palace, etc.) have reopened.

The Pelican Club (on Exchange Alley in the FQ) is not as well known but is the same type experience. Reservations are a good idea, and probably essential on weekends.  

Tujaques Restaurant (823 Decatur Street) is very traditional and has moderate prices:  http://www.tujaguesrestaurant.com/

Cafe Degas is a very French restaurant near City Park at 3127 Esplanade - which is not within walking distance of downtown (5 to 10 minutes by taxi). They are closed on Mondays & Tuesdays (504-945-5635).

Answer 3

New Orleans really is not know for their authentic cajun food.  They are more know for their french food and creole food.  If you want french, I would definitely try Galatoires on Bourbon Street.  Actually, you can go to www.nomenu.com

It has a list of New Orleans top 100 dishes.

If you are looking for authentic cajun food, I guess go to Mother's on Poydres Street.  

Answer 4

Try Mom's...basic as you can get and great food!

Answer 5

Antoines...was wonderful

Answer 6

Deanie's Seafood!!! There are, I think, 3 of them around the city. The one I like to go to is on Iberville St in the French Quarter. The food is EXCELLENT and they give you a good size portion for what you pay.

But there are so many good eating places in New Orleans. All you have to do is drive around and just stop somewhere that catches your eye. Hope you have a good time in the Big Easy.
