2. La Provence

BIG BRANCH.   Ranked by "Traveler" magazine as one of America's top ten restaurants, La Provence absolutely justifies the 40-minute drive from New Orleans. Located across Lake Pontchartrain, it's affiliated with a country inn and features a Provencal atmosphere. The chef savors seclusion from New Orleans, and La Provence's idyllic spot only enhances its inherent charm. Meals frequently commence with a series of pâtés and languish well into the evening. Entrees take their inspiration from fine French and Creole cuisines, and service is well above par.   (© 10Best)

We happened upon this great French restaurant on a Friday afternoon in October of 1997. We put ourselves into the hands of our waitress and the Chef/Owner. They took us to heaven over the next few hours. Starting with Pommery Brut Champagne, pate, quail soup, lamb chops, veal, Grand vin de la rose Haut Medoc. It was absolutely delicious and they were perfectly friendly. What an experience! We are going back the next time in New Orleans. Don't forget to get a jar of their peach preserves, excellent!
