Re: Favorite Restaurant in New Orleans
Parkway beats Parasols hands down, especially since their kitchen basically moved to Tracey's down the street. As for burgers, skip Port of Call and head to Yo Mamma's in the Quarter. Peanut butter burger sounds gross, but it's worth it!
Katie's in Mid-City is extremely good (with some of the best chargrilled oysters), as is Elizabeth's in the Bywater for brunch. K-Paul's is about the only think worthwhile in the Quarter, as everything else is over-priced for tourists. Cochon is amazing, and Palace Cafe has a great New Orleans flair with reasonable prices for great Brennan-quality food.
If you want something off the beat path and like wine, check out Bacchanal in the Bywater. They have a great outdoor patio and recently added a very tasty menu.
Frankie and Johnny's also just reopened Uptown, and is a great, typical, old-style neighborhood seafood joint with delicious fried bell pepper rings.

I don't know about today, but a couple of years ago they got their french bread fresh daily from Parkway Bakery. It just doesn't get any better than that.
Amen!

Cafe Maspero - cheaper, fast and GOOD.
Camellia Grill - greasy spoon, almost always a line out the door though (go to the original on Carrollton though, NOT the bad one in the quarter).
Dante's Kitchen - GREAT brunch.
Tujague's - second oldest restaurant in NO, great experience and great food.

I literally haven't been inside Pierre Maspero's since the 1980's. I used to love their HUGE sandwiches though. Do they still have those GIGANTIC sandwiches?

Maspero's was a favorite hangout for me and some of my New Orleans friends back in my 20's. But I've walked right by it a thousand times since, and never gone in. On Chartres St real close to Jackson Square. Shame in me. :icon_wink:
