New Orleans is America’s most distinctive food city — a place where French, Spanish, African, Caribbean and Native American culinary traditions have fused over centuries into something completely unique. The city’s cuisine is as much a part of its cultural identity as its jazz music and Mardi Gras celebrations. From the grand Creole restaurants of the French Quarter to the neighbourhood po’boy shops and crawfish shacks of the Garden District, New Orleans offers a dining experience that is unlike anywhere else in America. Whether you’re after a classic bowl of gumbo, a plate of beignets, or a long jazz brunch, our guide covers the best New Orleans has to offer.
