Best Casual Restaurants in French Quarter

Enjoyed our dining experience at RedFish last night however the musician outside playing in the street was excessively loud and right in front of the windows. I feel bad for the establishment because had we not had a reservation I would have quickly moved past it to a quieter location. Luckily we were seated in the back and could not hear it too much. Service and dinner was exceptional - loved the cornbread !!

I see a lot of bad reviews on here for this restaurant but our experience was completely opposite. The hostess was polite and prompt to seat us. Our server Leon was very attentive, informative and super nice. All of our entrees were outstanding! Super nice and chill atmosphere. Definitely recommend.

Had a lovely Christmas Eve dinner at The Palace Cafe. The interior was gorgeously decorated for the holidays. The crabmeat cheesecake really is out of this world. The bread pudding was also a stand out! Impeccable service too!

As always Antoine's was excellent. Antoine's is the #1 fine dining experience available anywhere in New Orleans, and it has never disappointed. My wife and I have been coming here for 27 years and have enjoyed each visit. The staff was professional, courteous, and easy to summon if we had a request for something. They have a pride in their establishment that comes across in their dealings with customers. Very few restaurants, even in New Orleans, can say that any longer. Russell and Roland were both consummate professionals and took exceptionally good care of us. And it was great to see Charles Carter again. Charles waited on us on our first visit 27 years ago and many times since, and has always made sure we're taken care of. The Reveillon menu dishes were prepared perfectly and were delicious as always. I was pleasantly surprised to see a NY Strip as a choice for the main course and both my wife and I received our steaks cooked perfectly. We even had a special request for dessert and it was handled with no problems. If you're coming to New Orleans, Antoine's is a must. How many restaurants can say they have been in business with the same family since 1840? I hope to still be around to enjoy a visit in their 200th anniversary year in 2040.

The food was amazing, well prepared. No steak knife necessary for the filet. The drinks were beyond great. The service was fantastic. The noise level was high. It was difficult to hear the server at times. We enjoyed ourselves regardless. If you’re looking for an intimate setting, try the French 75 bar which was intimate. The same great service and cocktails.
