Best of Guide: Late Night Eats
Unlike many cities where restaurants shutdown early, New Orleans eateries know how to cater to customers with those late-night munchies. After a night of strolling, dancing, and second-lining, you can work up an appetite. If you Nola you know!
Oceana Grill
Jonesing for some Gator Tail Bites at midnight? You’re in luck! Oceana Grill, voted one of the top ten restaurants in the U.S, is open until 1 a.m. for late-night guests (or early morning guests, depending on how you look at it.) They also offer pickup or delivery if you don’t want to leave your hotel, Airbnb or home.
Hard Rock Cafe
This Bourbon Street favorite now offers an After Hours Menu that features $15 Late Night Bites as well as $7 Premium Beers, $10 Premium Wines, and $15 Signature Cocktails. Nachos, Wings, Loaded Tater Tots, All-American Sliders…you’ll never go to bed hungry as long as Hard Rock is around.
Olde NOLA Cookery
Sometimes, no matter how loud the music is, you can’t drown out that voice in your head that’s whispering, “a dozen oysters” or “Jazzy Crab Cake Platter.” Olde NOLA serves their dinner menu until 1 a.m. so get your hungry self over to 205 Bourbon.
Daisy Duke's
There must be scientific proof that breakfast tastes better at night, right? Daisy Duke’s offers their All-Day Breakfast wee into the night. Hours vary by location so check before you head out for some Chicken & Waffles. They also order po-boys and other New Orleans dishes late at night. Yum!
Mambo's
Duck Wantons, Carnival Pasta, Red Beans & Rice with Crispy Chicken, Chocolate Kahlua Mousse…enjoy it all late at night on the rooftop at Mambo’s, open until 1 a.m. Savor the food. Savor the view. Savor time spent with good friends.
Bourbon Heat
When you spend the night at New Orleans #1 dance club, YOU NEED FOOD. Thankfully, Bourbon Heat’s kitchen is open late if you’re “hangry.” We highly recommend the aptly named Hangover Burger with a side of Waffle Fries. Their Beignet Funnel Cake is worth staying up late for as well.
Steamboat Natchez
The Steamboat NATCHEZ serves a traditional Cajun jambalaya, guaranteed to take your taste buds where they’ve never gone before. The hearty one-pot dish is a savory mix of rice, tender bits of white and dark chicken meat, smoky Manda® andouille pork sausage, and a secret seasoning blend. Both the chicken and pork are proudly sourced in Louisiana.
