CBD. Inviting and elegant, this hotel dining room is a jewel in the Windsor Court Hotel's crown. Adorned with flowers, graceful chandeliers, rich materials, and focal-point murals, the Grill is New Orlean's only Mobil Five Star-accredited restaurant. The cuisine changes monthly but features incredible dishes like roasted monkfish tail with squid and mussels, chicken breast stuffed with morels and foie gras, and wine-braised rabbit. Top them off with warm chocolate fondant cake or passion fruit souffle with coconut soup. Tasting menus are available.

WAREHOUSE DISTRICT. American French cuisine is the star at this recently renamed restaurant. Herbsaint, formerly Bizou, features a new chef and a new, innovative menu. Culinary creations include vegetarian antipasto shrimp with green chile grit cakes at lunch. For dinner, the menu features items such as mustard seed crusted salmon with scallion rice, or sautéed pork tenderloin in smothered greens. Diners are surrounded in a contemporary minimalist decor that showcases elegant lighting. The menu features a stellar wine list and reservations are recommended, even for lunch.

FRENCH QUARTER. Nouvelle Creole-American cuisine is served at this fabulous bistro which is one of Emeril Lagasse's restaurants in New Orleans. Try the Louisiana crab cakes or the double-cut pork chops. What makes this Emeril restaurant different is the wood-burning oven gourmet pizzas. A local and tourist favorite! It is a good idea to call ahead as this place is usually busy.

FRENCH QUARTER. As the name implies, this elegant restaurant specializes in prime rib with a Creole twist. In addition to the rib, the lamb and fowl are delicious, and all of the meats are cooked on one of the few French rotisseries in the country. The menu also has a selection of seafood dishes. Diners get plenty of sunlight and a great view of Royal Street through the restaurant's large French doors. Champagne jazz brunch served on Sundays.

FRENCH QUARTER. This quaint little neighborhood spot perfectly exemplifies what makes the French Quarter so special – even on its boundary streets, you're bound to find something that'll surprise. Though locals usually occupy the tables at Meauxbar each night, these snug yet easygoing quarters welcome all-comers. Framed photos, mirrors, checked floors and ceiling fans reinforce the bistro concept, and seating is available both at tables and at the bar. But of course, it's the cookery that truly sets the place apart, most notably such superbly-conceived numbers as salade Lyonnaise with egg and lardons, double-cut pork chop with au poivre sauce and trout Grenobloise. Weekend reservations are encouraged.
