Fun by the Forkful: Restaurant Week New Orleans
Mark Twain once said, “New Orleans food is as delicious as the less criminal forms of sin.” We think he’d approve of Restaurant Week New Orleans from June 8-14. Restaurants all over town are offering special menus during this celebration sponsored by the Louisiana Restaurant Association Greater New Orleans Chapter. This is your chance to find out what everyone is raving about for less. Here are our picks. Click on the restaurant name to make reservations.

ANNUNCIATION Restaurant
Spend at least one meal during Restaurant Week at ANNUNCIATION Restaurant. Not only is the food rave-worthy, but the entire staff gives new meaning to the words “Southern hospitality.” We can’t say enough nice things about this place.

This celebrated restaurant in the Garden District is adored by locals, visitors and food critics who always list it among, if not at the top, of their best restaurants in the South lists. This is New Orleans at her best.
Crescent City Brewhouse
The French Quarter’s only microbrewery is just a loved for its food as it is for its beer. They offer free live music nightly, a fabulous oyster bar, and a menu TDF. It’s no wonder locals love it as well as visitors.

An institution in the French Quarter, Felix’s has been shucking oysters and serving seafood classics since 1945. Pull up a seat, order a dozen chargrilled oysters and discover why this Bourbon Street favorite never goes out of style.

Hidden away in the French Quarter, The Pelican Club has long been one of the city’s best-kept dining secrets. Romantic, refined and consistently delicious, it’s the kind of place that turns a simple dinner into an occasion.
