Mr. B's Bistro

Alright, here's the itinerary for the four days. How'd we do?

Breakfast:
Surrey's Cafe & Juice Bar
Elizabeth's - For the praline bacon
Cafe Du Monde - Of course this may be more like a late night snack

Audibles: Camellia Grill

Lunch:
Domilice's for the po boys
Saba - Same founder as Shaya
Willie Mae's Scotch House for the fried chicken

Audibles: Turkey & The Wolf, Central Grocery, Cochon Butcher

Dinner:
Herbsaint - Same owners as Cochon and Peche (Donald Link Group)
Justine - Justin Devillier's new place (chef from La Petite Grocery). My wife thinks it looks sexy.
Restaurant R'evolution - Gotta try this gumbo

Drinks:
Lafittes Blacksmith Shop
The Tchoup Yard
Tropical Isle - trip wouldnt be complete without a hand grenade or a shark attack!

I like Galatoire's - bring coat if you are a guy, dress nice if you are female.

The last time I went I know I hit The Gumbo Shop, Mr B's, and ACME Oysters.

My parents have been married 48 years and spent their Anniversary in New Orleans so they made a point to go back many many times and I have gone several times.

And always make a late night stop at Cafe Du Monde for beignets. Also don't wear a dark color; I always end up covered in powdered sugar.

One of my favorite cities to try to *eat* through.

Been awhile. some of these names I haven't heard of.

Only restaurant I've eaten the whole menu is Pelican Club.

Ramos gin fizz @ Roosevelt.

Little known great NoLa dish- the bbq shrimp Po boy at Drago's.

Lots of tourists taps in here. Go to Neyow's it way down Canal, you can ride the street car and get off and walk a block over to it. It's amazing and anyone I've ever told about it, it's been a must stop at place every time they're in Nola. It's where the locals eat.

Cafe Maspero has good Muffulettas.

If I'm in NO I have to have a breakfast at Camellia Grille and a meal at the Gumbo Shop. Partly because I love the food and atmosphere and also because they have some sentimental value to my wife and me.

Wife and I go for a long weekend and Saints game every year. Two years ago I took a jacket so we could go to Galatoire's. There were so many dudes in polos and some even in shorts.

I have relatives in NO and we've been to a lot of places - all the while avoiding many overly touristy spots.

Had the Death by Gumbo last night at Revolution. Mother F that stuff is great. Crawfish beignets were great too. Lastly, it is expensive, but the bone in paneed veal chop was excellent.

The pastas on the menu, not so good. I was told the steak was under seasoned.

Your lunch audibles are far superior to the ones you list, IMO. although I'd put Stein's ahead of Central Grocery.


I'd go to Coquette for dinner. It is great. Maybe best food in N.O. right now.

Drinks: A million places to get great cocktails better than Blacksmith Shop or any place serving hand grenades.

Commander's - turtle soup is out of this world.

If you are flying; great spot near airport in Kenner is Fisherman's Cove. Same dcor and setup since we lived here in 1981. Food is incredible.

I was going to post Coquette too. Of all the meals I have had in New Orleans over the years, the few I have had at Coquette stand out as some of the best. Its a very unique experience relative to other places in the city.
