This place is so beautiful inside and out! Every Sunday from 11am-1pm there is a drag brunch show. It’s so much fun and the food is so yummy! Reservations are recommended if you want to catch the drag show. Also, starting every Friday night there will be live music. This place is only 7 minutes away.
A Pro tip: Get some of that delicious syrup from the French Toast and dunk your beignets in it.
You’re welcome. 🤗

This black owned restaurant is just minutes away! A true gem with friendly staff and great ambiance! Breakfast is a hefty portion of divineness. The coffee is strong. If you go on the weekend, try to get there early to avoid long wait times. This place is only minutes away, around the corner from Barrilleaux’s. Just head down Burgundy and turn left on Touro street. Restaurant on right.

Morrow’s is a black owned restaurant specializing in Cajun cuisine. They stay pretty busy so it’s best to make a reservation or get there when they open. The food was very good when I visited during the day. I’ve heard mixed reviews from others about the food, as well as the service. If they’re not too busy, I would give them a chance. If they’re pretty busy with a wait, I would recommend eating elsewhere. 🤷🏾♀️

This place is only 5 minutes away on St. Claude Ave. The food is fantastic! The mango tea is SWEET, but tasty. And the OXTAILS….bruh. 🤤 Definitely check this place out! Now look, the prices are $$$, but the plates are HEAVY. You can literally eat off one plate 2-3 times. So maybe split plates with friend’s if y’all ballin on a budget and don’t mind sharing. 💁🏾♀️

We have a new Peach Cobbler Factory. I have not personally been to this place yet, so I can not speak on the quality. However, I’ve heard mixed reviews. 😵💫
It’s about 4 minutes away if you wanted to try them out. And St. Roch Market is right across the street. So if it does suck, at least you can walk across & get something good to eat. 😆
****Finally tried it. I got the original peach cobbler…it was ok. I wasn’t too impressed. Maybe the other flavors or other menu items are better. The presentation was very pretty though and the staff was nice!

This eclectic laid back spot sits at the corner of Burgundy & Mandeville St. It’s only a 5 minute drive away! A great way to start the day with their signature breakfast dishes and a nice hot cup of coffee. Their signature coffee drinks are made pretty strong, so heads up if you’re a lightweight.

French Market
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
OMGGGG…..This place is so good. The fried green tomatoes could be an entree. The tomatoes are thick cut and coated to perfection with batter and fried until golden brown. Now I’m partial to having my fried green tomatoes with remoulade sauce, but I wasn’t mad at the brown gravy on top. The fried catfish was perfectly seasoned and I substituted onions rings for fries. Hush puppies were on point. Drinks were awesome. Now look, I’m a local. This right here was the real deal. Definitely check this place out on the corner across from the French Market.

No description needed. This place is a very popular landmark. It’s walking distance (7 mins) from the French Market which is a 5 minute drive down the street.
You will most definitely be covered with powdered sugar, but who cares!!! Don’t fuss about it, just dust it off and enjoy the moment. This place stays busy! Grab first available table. Someone will come to you. Bring CASH and patience. 🙃
**If you’re using Uber, you can just get dropped off at the French Market entrance by Louisiana Pizza Kitchen. You can walk to wherever you want from there, FQ included!

Ok, so this place is located right next to the French Market and across from the Jazz Museum. It’s very cute and quaint, however their addition here is more of a cautionary warning.
1. The pizza was not worth the price. I’ve had better tasting pizza at Reginelli’s for less money. And the crème brûlée was pretty disappointing. 😩
2. Service is SLOW. And maybe not necessarily slow, just that the ratio of servers (2) to customers are off. Way too many chairs per table, so servers can’t keep up. Like don’t go thirsty because you’ll be waiting on that glass of water for a hot minute. 🥵😵💫

Poboy prices are pretty ridiculous and lack quality, in my opinion. The other menu items are underwhelming as well. In fact, I’ve had better quality shrimp poboy’s at a cheaper price from a Brother’s gas station. 😒
Anywho…I normally would not recommend wasting money here, but they are open 24 hours.
