1. Antoine's Restaurant

 

Founded in 1840, Antoine's still welcomes hungry customers. The excellent waitstaff adds to the memorable experience.

FRENCH QUARTER.   Classic French Creole cuisine is what sets Antoine's apart. The restaurant has been in business since the mid-1800s and the recipes may seem basic, but each entree's flavor is uniquely delectable. Diners can enjoy choices like potato soufflé or Poulet Rochambeau, a boneless half-chicken served with a sweet brown rochambeau and tangy béarnaise sauce. The decor is spaciously elegant and, even though Antoine's still prints its menu in French, the staff is more than eager to help.   (© 10Best)

You know you're in a special place when you walk into this legendary spot on St. Louis Street in the French Quarter. Fifteen dining rooms hold more than 700 people, yet the atmosphere feels intimate, friendly, and welcoming. Begin with the Oysters Rockefeller; the recipe is a closely guarded secret. The souffléed potatoes are another true treat. Try the Pompano Pontchartrain as an entrée. Smothered in crabmeat, the dish gets a kick from green onions. Don't forget to order the baked Alaska ahead of time, and they'll emblazon your name in meringue on the delectable creation. (from Southern Living)

Everything about it was excellent. I guess we were lucky, because Dave was our waiter. Most people don't get the older waiters like that. he gave us a tour and a history lesson!
