Subject: RE: New Orleans Haunts - Restaurants, etc.


This place was recommended to us by a local and we loved it:

Rita's Olde French Quarter Restaurant
945 Chartres Street * New Orleans, LA 70116 504-525-7543
Authentic Creole recipes served in a casual and friendly environment.

This is a favorite breakfast spot each time we went there:

Quarter Scene Restaurant
900 Dumaine Street * New Orleans, LA 70116 504-522-6533
Casual local spot with a varied menu of New Orleans and American favorites.

I did not like Lafitte's the last time I was there. It had TVs and was dirty and had crummy beer.


On Frenchman Street, I liked Adolfo's, also recommended by a local. Upstairs from the funky Apple Barrel Bar.

Adolfo's
611 Frenchmen St. 504-948-3800
Southern Italian meets Creole in a cozy eatery.
