Best Dinner Places to Eat in Gretna

"Visitors to New Orleans in search of haute Creole cuisine will find their nirvana at Commander’s Place in the Garden District. This 1893 landmark restaurant has garnered significant recognition and won innumerable culinary awards, including six James Beard Foundation Awards. They pride themselves in sourcing local ingredients and, in fact, 90% of their ingredients come from within 100 miles of the restaurant."

"The restaurants on the pricier side are worth visiting for this one-of-a-kind appetizer. And, to reiterate: Commander's Palace's turtle soup is legendary. Go for lunch, order a series of 25-cent martinis (you read that right), and slurp from your glass and a bowl."

"You didn’t believe me when I talked about 25¢ martinis, did you?. I wouldn’t blame you. I didn’t believe it either…until I proved that this particular unicorn (of the dining world) exists at the wonderful, up-scale restaurant, Commander’s Palace."

"Housed in the iconic pink building in the heart of the French Quarter, Brennan’s prides itself on serving traditional New Orleans cuisine alongside modern interpretations of Creole and French dishes. Breakfast at Brennan’s has been a local tradition since the 1950s. Get the Eggs Hussarde, which are perfectly poached eggs on housemade English muffins and Canadian bacon, with hollandaise and marchand de vin sauce."

"This world-famous dessert was first created right here at Brennan’s restaurant by chef Paul Blange in 1951 when he was challenged to create a dish featuring the fruit. The delectable result is now the most ordered item on the Brennan’s menu. Patron’s of the restaurant will dine here just to order the Banana Foster having dined elsewhere for dinner."

"Brennan's, in the heart of the French Quarter, is famous for breakfast any day and a full brunch on the weekends. There are 8 dining rooms. Most rooms overlook the courtyard, which is also used for dining."

"One of the four restaurants in the French Quarter boasting a James Beard awards, Galatoire's is the grand old man of the group. Since 1905, this high-end French-Creole restaurant on Bourbon Street has been the destination of choice of locals and tourists craving a world-class meal. The restaurants is open for lunch and dinner and the menu has virtually remained unchanged since its inception."

"The recipe for fun at Galatoire’s: show up early for the chance of a Friday lunch table on the ground floor; ask for a waiter named Bryan; ease in with a Sazerac and souffle potatoes; trust the server to bring you whatever fish looks best; and revive yourself with cafe brulot. The people-watching alone is worth the effort."

"GW Fins’s celebration of everything seasonal, fresh, and from the water is contagious, with chef Michael Nelson constantly churning out specials, and specialties, that convey the love and care brought to each dish. The white linen French Quarter restaurant adapted quickly during the pandemic, offering dishes that were takeout-appropriate as well as quarts of Nelson’s beloved sauces, soups, and sides; offering delivery for the first time ever; and selling fresh, uncooked seafood from its supplier. That dedication to its product — lobster, fish collars, sheepshead, sea bass, and more — and diners make GW Fins a standout."

"New Orleans' location on Lake Pontchartrain and near the Gulf of Mexico means that restaurants have access to fresh seafood. AT GW Fins, Chef Tenney Flynn uses fresh ingredients to..."

"Awash in a chill vibe, a colourful ambience of flashy colours and funky decor and displaying a down-to-earth attitude, Dat Dog is a great eatery to bring the kids. The fact that one of the kid-fave foods, hot dogs, is dominant on the menu is also encouraging. In fact, the menu is packed with hot dogs and a large inventory of crazy toppings."

"Now with three locations, this colorful joint features indoor/outdoor dining, a full bar and sometimes live music. There are dogs of all breed, from polish sausage and brat to alligator, red hot and crawfish sausage. There's even the Sea Dog - tempura battered fried cod filet served with homemade tartar sauce."

"When the craving for Mexican strikes, Del Fuego offers two outdoor seating areas: a covered front porch and a colorful open-air patio in the rear. In either spot, sample a margarita made with Del Fuego’s homemade roasted orange triple sec and guacamole customized with toppings like crumbled bacon, roasted poblanos and pomegranate seeds. An enticing selection of well-crafted tacos, burritos and pozole rojo make excellent fresh-air options."

"Del Fuego Taqueria takes the Mexican restaurant boom of New Orleans and raises the standards to a whole new level. Though there are many Mexican spots popping throughout the city, Del Fuego Taqueria remains at the top of many people’s favorite. With custom made loaded guacamole, trios of tacos, handmade burritos, and refreshing margaritas, this restaurant remains the highest local spot for Mexican food in the Big Easy."

"Enjoy tacos and margaritas on a plant-filled covered deck overlooking Magazine street out front at Del Fuego or head to the cute patio in the back. Either way makes for a good choice for Mexican cuisine al fresco Uptown."

"Address: 845 N Carrollton AvenueNew Orleans, LA 70119Phone: (504) 252-4999Website. With signature Meatery Boards and his meat-focused entrées that range from lamb to venison, Chef Isaac manages to blend fine dining with the casualness of charcuterie and wine. As Toups approaches its 10-year anniversary, Chef Isaac continues to branch out, releasing two new hot sauce flavors to go along with his 2018 cookbook Chasing the Gator."

"Hospitality veterans Isaac and Amanda Toups (he cooks, she handles wine) have a winner in their contemporary Cajun outpost in Mid-City. Loosen your belt for barbecued goat delivered with pickled peppers and a wedge of cornbread, and fennel-topped lamb neck rising from a tasty swamp of black-eyed peas."

"If you're aiming to try some boudin, or any other sausage, Toups' Meatery is your port. Run by Isaac Toups, a favorite contestant in a recent season of Top Chef, the restaurant focuses on the best of the Cajun boucherie. Boudin is well within his wheelhouse."

"Editor's Note: There's no photo available at the time of writing. Are you looking for a mall with fewer crowds?. Cypress Plaza Shopping Center is relatively smaller and only houses a few shops, making the shopping experience here more relaxed."

"We live in an unapologetically weird city, and places like Tresor, devoted to showcasing the best of New Orleans contemporary art, have always been idiosyncratic outposts against creeping normality. While it’s hard to pin down any one kind of art at this spot, you can always expect something, well, unexpected. Eclectic at the least – we’ve seen darkly decorated baby dolls, folk art-style wall panels, fantastical mixed media sculptures, graphic novelesque illustrations and work that feels graffiti-ish in origin."

"All these years later, this restaurant still feels like a discovery, but it’s under-the-radar by design: The restaurant doesn’t even have a sign. Housed in a century-old building that was once a pharmacy and camouflaged in a leafy residential neighborhood, the dining room, with the attentive touch and constant presence of impeccable Gautreau’s owner Patrick Singley buzzes with well-heeled locals. It feels like a club, and that’s one of the many things that make it so cool."

"There’s no sign outside Gautreau’s, just the number 1728 discreetly marking a nondescript house in a residential neighborhood. Cross the threshold to find a refined but welcoming dining room, where savvy diners,... Top ChoiceLouisianan in Uptown & Riverbend"
