10Best Says

Compact and crowded, Coop's probably isn't on most travelers' agendas which is a crying shame. Located right on Decatur not far from the French Market, Coop's remains a locals' haunt, with its well-worn surfaces and gritty elan. Unpolished, seductive, and even a touch dingy, Coop's is the real deal. Staples like shrimp Creole, Cajun-fried chicken, fried oysters and rabbit and sausage jambalaya are always good bets for lunch, or order the taste plate, which features the items above along with scrumptious portions of seafood gumbo and red beans and rice with sausage. This place serves food late, if you need to circle back at the end of a night on Frenchmen Street.

EXPERT TIPS BY: Beth D'Addono
New Orleans Local Expert

Cajun, Late Night: "If loud bothers you, move along. But this lively French Quarter spot is the real deal as long as you can jump into the fray."

Best for Cajun Because: There's always a line out the door at Coop's - and there's a reason for that: the place is simply good.
Best for Late Night Because: Coop's posts its hours this way: 11 a.m. to close." Enough said.
