Best Restaurants, Must Try Places in Killona

"While you’re in the Garden District or shopping on Magazine Street, you have to stop by Commander’s Palace. The place has been around since 1880, and it’s one of the most famous restaurants in New Orleans for a reason. Their famous teal and white striped exterior is what landed them on this list, but definitely check them out for fine Creole dining and their jazz brunch too."

"Famous for breakfast, Brennan’s stuns all day long under the leadership of owner Ralph Brennan and head chef Ryan Hacker. Six years ago, the historic restaurant went through a massive, multi-million dollar renovation that extended the bar area and brought the whole place up to date after ownership changed hands. No longer the old dowager of the French Quarter, this restaurant is now relevant and dazzling."

"American , Cajun"

"Then the Café Brûlot, which includes orange, lemon, cloves, cinnamon, brandy, Grand Marnier, and hot French roast coffee, is a must. Bonus: This boozy beverage is served tableside with a flame show."

"GW Fins takes fish so seriously that chef (and avid fisherman) Tenney Flynn once designed a chilled cutting board so that his fish wouldn’t suffer a temperature drop as he prepared it for cooking. The menu changes constantly, based on what fish is fresh and always sustainable, but recent menus can be viewed on the website. The lobster dumplings are little, delicious clouds and are almost always on the menu."

"G W Fins restaurant is a beautifully appointed fine-dining establishment featuring stunning metal sculptures of underwater depictions. Fishnet curtains, white linens, and fine artwork further create an elegant ambiance. Local owners Gary Wollerman and Chef Tenney Flynn have a reputation for being meticulous and providing high-quality seafood."

"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..."

"About Dat Dog: While the other locations on this list all have nightly live music, Dat Dog makes our list of top ten Frenchmen Street bars as a restaurant. The food here is amazing and you can still sit on the balcony of the restaurant and hear the outdoor live jazz bands playing on the corner directly below you every evening. Restaurant Website: (HERE)."

"Our most popular location at 601 Frenchmen Street, New Orleans is often requested for private events, so act quickly to reserve a date!. Its balcony, one of the most famous in New Orleans, stands above the sights and sounds of the Marigny neighborhood and makes for a uniquely New Orleans experience....Mehr"

"DTB, which stands for Down the Bayou, is a smartly conceived salute to coastal Cajun cuisine, presented with a healthy dash of creative interpretation. Chef/owner Carl Schaubhut and chef de cuisine Jacob Hammel riff off of the region's traditional dishes, refining them with lighter ingredients and plenty of attention to detail. The rustic-meets-modern restaurant is lovely, hung with faux Spanish moss and warmed by burnished light wood and textured art."

"Here familiar Louisiana dishes are recreated with refined technique and a focus on Gulf seafood, Cajun flavors, and fresh seasonal produce. For a thrifty brunch in a rather high tone place, cobble together crab boil potato hash ($6) and a buttermilk biscuit with pimento cheese ($6) for or pick a couple of sides from the Lagniappe menu. 8201 Oak St. #1, 518-6889, dtbnola.com."

"During your trip to New Orleans, you’ll find yourself looking for a perfect place to grab a quick lunch that will keep you going the rest of the day. Turkey and the Wolf is not only one of the best restaurants in New Orleans, it is also a place to find the best lunch in New Orleans!. Turkey and the Wolf opened their doors in 2016 and has been featured in the New York Times, GQ, and Food Network’s Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives."

"On the surface, the restaurant is a sandwich bar with a menu offering prosaic options like ham and bologna. However, chef and proprietor Mason Hereford’s obsession with ingredients and deconstructing his childhood comfort foods make even these basic sammies incredibly special. High-quality, locally sourced (where possible) meats, breads, and condiments make for a sublime experience."

"Piece of Meat’s Smith makes the bologna for this wildly popular sandwich shop, which nabbed Food & Wine’s 2017 award. There’s a lot to love here. Fieri fell for the Collard Green Melt and playful Tacos Inauthenticos, filled with headcheese, jalapeños, sour cream, American cheese and “shrettuce."

"The Oakwood Shopping Center is in Gretna, a quick drive over the Crescent City Connection, the bridge that takes you to the West Bank of the Mississippi. It's not as big as some of the other malls on this list, but that can be a blessing in disguise. The Oakwood Mall has plenty of parking and fewer crowds, making the shopping experience breezier."

"With 82 shops, including Dillard's and JC Penny's, this mall on Jefferson Parish's West Bank offers an array of retail options across all price ranges, as well as dining, spas, a barbershop and more."

"United Apparel Liquidators (U.A.L.) on Chartres is the local location of the original store founded in Hattiesburg, Mississippi back in 1980. Now in three states with multiple locations, including this one in the French Quarter U.A.L. is a great place to browse. The concept is simple: the store trades in overstock from designers, showrooms and retailers at deep discounts."

"The Shops at Jax Brewery, located in what once was the largest independent brewery in the South built in 1891, combine a riverfront location with a portfolio of national and local brands including Chico's and Gumbo Kids. The property has four floors of shops, cafes and boutiques, with the top floor offering some pretty spectacular views of the city. A few of the shops offer witty screen print t-shirts with local sayings and attractions that are sure to be a hit."

"The Shops at Jax Brewery are located in an architecturally striking 19th-century former beer brewing facility - opened in 1891, the Brewery was the largest independent brewery in the south. The property has four floors of shops, cafes and boutiques, with the top floor offering some pretty spectacular views of the city. A few of the shops offer child and adult-themed screen print items of local witticisms and attractions that are sure to be a hit."

"It started as a neighborhood bar near the horse tracks in 1936. Sixty years later, James Lemarie and Billy Gruber bought Liuzza’s by the Track and turned it into the quintessential neighborhood corner joint and the unofficial gathering place for Jazz Fest. Order the garlic oyster po-boy and a cold beer, served in a large frosted goblet."

"Say it out loud: “BBQ Shrimp.” It’s the most famous dish at this low-key restaurant near the Fairgrounds. Loads of peeled shrimp are swamped in a buttery sauce rife with pepper and loads of bright notes, then the lot is stuffed into a hollowed out roll. It acts like it’s food for one person but it’s sufficient for two."

"In a city that's po'boy proud, Liuzza's at the Track stands out from the crowd, thanks to the house specialty, a buttery, Worcestershire-fueled gi-normous portion of gulf shrimp slathered between a hot and crusty roll. It's called barbecue shrimp, but there's really nothing barbecued about it. Save room for the gumbo."
