New Orleans - A Family Restaurant "Must"

Question

I am looking for recommendations on a FAMILY oriented restaurant in New Orleans, LA. I would prefer a place that is interesting to children ages 3 to 13 and adults ages 35 to 65. Not just another generic family place, but something that would keep the kids' interests peaked throughout dinner. It's a one-time visit, so I would like to know why your suggestion is recommended. Feel free to include your view on pricing, food and experiences. The more info you provide, the better! Thanks!

Answer 1

It really depends on how much money you want to spend and the atmoshpere you're looking for. If you like seafood and a genuine New Orleans dive sounds fun, try Frankie and Johnny's or Acme Oyster House. If you don't mind chains, there's Bubba Gump's and House of Blues. Cafe Pontalba has a decent Po' Boy and it's right smack on Jackson Square and there are always street performers and great people watching. Although not exactly the most atmospheric place it's a true New Orleans experience! There are a handful of decent places on Decatur so that's always a pretty good place to roam while looking for something to eat.

Choose on website by neighborhood.



In the French Quarter area there is Huge Variety limited only by your imagination.



Personal Favorite:

Original Pierre Maspero's- 440 Chartres - Sandwiches, Creole and Cajun food



Or.....

Jimmy Buffett's Margaritaville Cafe....



Bubba Gump's where you can get a simple meal such as a shrimp basket or a cheese burger for kids. It is ok quality, not gourmet.



There is Central Grocery where you can get a sandwich and bring it to the levee on the river picnic style



There is Port of Call on Esplanade - hamburgers, etc.



The Red Fish Grill is a 3 star on Bourgon St.

If you want the tourist special, go to Tujague's on Decatur or Court of two sisters, or Ralph & Kacoo's on Toulouse.
