Located in the French Quarter, and operated by a branch of the famous Brennan restaurant family, the venue is one of the city's original gourmet bistros. The Gumbo Ya-Ya, one of the kitchen's signature dishes, is worth the trip in itself, a flavor-filled bowl brimming with chicken and andouille sausage. Executive Chef Michelle McRaney, well-versed in Creole cuisine, prides herself in using only the freshest local ingredients. Because of this, her menu undergoes changes regularly, an act welcomed by the regular patrons. For entrees, look to the Barbecued Shrimp and Braised Rabbit, two dishes which you'll be remembering long after dinner is done.

EXPERT TIPS BY:
Beth D'Addono
New Orleans Local Expert
- Creole: "Mr. B's is one of the few Creole restaurants that will seat you without a reservation."
- Seafood: "Check Mr. B's out for lunch - they offer a rotating weekly special - or try their Sunday Jazz Brunch."
- Brunch: "The band travels around the restaurant for Sunday Jazz Brunch so there's not a bad seat in the house."
- Best for Creole Because: With its French Quarter location and low key vibe, Mr. B's is a local fave.
- Best for Seafood Because: A prime French Quarter location and a slightly older crowd make this a great spot for date night.
- Best for Brunch Because: Mr. B's is another gem from the Brennan family tree.
