Best Fine Dining in Marrero

"Commander's Palace has been around since the late 1800s, but under Ella Brennan’s leadership starting in the 1970s, the restaurant essentially redefined New Orleans cuisine and catapulted into stardom with the help of celeb chefs Paul Prudhomme and Emeril Lagasse. Today, the menu and service are top notch with James Beard Award-winning chef Tory McPhail leading the kitchen and Ti Martin and Lally Brennan running the show. Go for lunch and make sure to end the meal with the bread pudding soufflé and whiskey sauce."

"Address: 1403 Washington AvenueNew Orleans, LA 70130Phone: (504) 899-8221Website. World-class chefs like Emeril Lagasse and Paul Prudhomme have graced the kitchen of this landmark restaurant. In existence since 1893, Commander’s Palace features “haute Creole cuisine” and a “dirt to plate within 100 miles” policy that contributes to its legendary status as one of the city’s great dining establishments."

"If you’re going to take somebody to something fancy, show them Galatoire’s in the French Quarter. Bring them to the Friday lunch, and order so many things: the pommes soufflées (crispy twice-fried potato wedges); the café brûlot (a boozy hot coffee drink, served flaming in a chafing dish); and the trout amandine (fried with a butter, lemon, and almond pan sauce)—all super-traditional New Orleans. And if the restaurant has the soft-shell crabs on the menu, you’ve got to get them."

"Gumbo is a traditional Louisiana dish that has been around since the early 18th century. While there are many variations on the stew, one of the best restaurants offering the dish is at Galatoire’s Restaurant, a fine dining establishment in the French Quarter which was founded in 1905. The Gumbo here is so good it was awarded the ‘Best Gumbo in New Orleans’ by Southern Living."

"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."

"Arnaud's has been doing everything right since 1918, when the doors of this elegant Creole eatery first opened on Bienville. Fameed for its oyster dishes, including the signature oysters Bienville, but also offering a heady selection of Louisiana classics like alligator sausage and shrimp creole, Arnaud's has something on the menu to satisfy every palate. Come here on a Sunday to experience the jazz brunch: four courses accompanied by live music."

"When I lived in NOLA, every Easter morning my family and I would go to church at St. Louis Cathedral and then walk to Arnaud's for a festive brunch. Arnaud's is a fantastic restaurant for many reasons, including their hospitable service, fun band, and especially their bananas foster. Part of the fun of ordering bananas foster is that they make it for you table side, flames and everything."

"Located steps off of Bourbon Street in the heart of the French Quarter, Arnaud’s offers classic Creole Cuisine and exemplary service in beautifully restored turn of the century dining rooms. Open for dinnerDress code: Shirt/Slacks Req.Phone: +1 504-523-5433"

"Pêche celebrates a visceral approach to eating seafood, so expect whole fish delivered to the table, ready to fbe sliced up and eaten between tables of friends. The menu is deceptively simple, but the presentation, choice of ingredients, and dressings are what elevates the experience beyond the tourist traps of the French Quarter. It’s a Donald Link restaurant, so fans of Cochon wanting to ease off on the meat are in abundance, as are people keen to go beyond the usual shrimp and fish dishes that permeate this city."

"If your date is into places that give off old-world vibes, Pêche Seafood Grill is the place for an exciting first date. If you take that classy lady or gent there, you’ll get to see exactly how they cook their seafood over an open fire that you can see from the dining area. The Cajun gumbo is fantastic and as close to the original as possible, the ambiance is rustic, and the entrees and the side dishes are simple yet delicious."

"A relative newcomer to the Quarter, Restaurant R'evolution opened in 2012 and immediately garnered attention for the menu created by collaborating chefs John Folse and Rick Tramonto. Today, this elegant, seasonally sourced farm-to-table restaurant located on Bienville in the famed Royal Sonesta Hotel keeps bringing locals back for more and drawing tourists in, too. Classic Creole and Cajun dishes sparkle here, with death by gGumbo (roasted quail, andouille sausage, oysters) leading the pack."

"Restaurant R’evolution has six one-of-a-kind dining rooms ensuring that all guests can find their perfect ambiance.

"French QuarterMore of a lounge than a dance club, this place is on exclusive side... as in, you have to be a member of the House of Blues Foundation to even get in the door, or at least be a member’s guest. Swankily decked from top to tails like a sultan’s tent, if you want to mingle with the classy crowd (not to mention get to see HOB shows from a reserved spot on the balcony), this is your place."

Ruth’s Chris, nestled between Harrah’s Hotel and Fulton Street, offers outdoor seating right on the pedestrian walkway, which is lovely on a nice evening and perfect for the kids who might need to stretch their legs or stay occupied with some people-watching. Additionally, Fulton Street offers Christmas decorations, live music, and “snow” during the holidays."

"Ruth's Chris Steak House originates in New York City, but their Big Easy satellite location is just as awesome — if not more so —than their Big Apple parent location."

Available in half and full roll portions, these pared down rolls include the likes of the Elvis roll (named for the chef), made with salmon, avocado, and both snow and blue crab, and the protein roll, with spicy tuna, snow crab, avocado and salmon.
