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

Brunch: "The band travels around the restaurant for Sunday Jazz Brunch so there's not a bad seat in the house."
Seafood: "Check Mr. B's out for lunch, or try their Sunday Jazz Brunch."
Creole: "Mr. B's Gumbo Ya Ya is a must-slurp."

Best for Brunch Because: Mr. B's is another gem from the Brennan family tree.
Best for Seafood Because: A prime French Quarter location and a slightly older crowd make this a great spot for date night.
Best for Creole Because: With its French Quarter location and low key vibe, Mr. B's is a local fave.
