Brennan's
An American classic. Home of the most famous brunch for over 50 years, Brennan's knows how to cook up a tasty Creole breakfast, but actually dinner is more festive. Boasting the best wine cellar in the city, Brennan's is a grand slam in New Orleans dining.

Delmonico
Owned by Food Network's most cherished chef, Emeril Lagasse, Delmonico's features classic New Orleans Creole cuisine reinvented with a contemporary twist. Try the duck Bigrarade.

Antione's
The two-story maze of rooms, laden with fading memorabilia, takes on the aspect of a musty museum -- save for the lovely front dining room, enveloped in gauzy, whirring ceiling fans and drugstore-tile floors. When you eat at Antoine's, you eat original New Orleans cuisine. A must-have is Antoine's original oysters Rockefeller with its renowned sauce.

Court of Two Sisters
An authentic blend of New Orleans' heart and soul, Two Sisters features over 60 simply delicious dishes, as well as the most famous jazz brunch in town. Although lavishness is never a bad thing, if you don't have the cash for this one, you might want to reconsider.

Arnaud's
Here, tuxedoed waiters scurry along the patterned ceramic floor tiles while the flames from cafe brlot reflect against a huge expanse of etched, leaded glass. The vast menu has its pitfalls, but the old standbys save the day.

Pelican Club
A stylish palace of Louisiana cooking splashed with Eastern accents. The food is great, but the check might not always be as great.

Cafe Sbisa
Has an elegant atmosphere that compliments its innovative menu. This century-old restaurant features barbecued shrimp and bayou crab cakes. Don't miss the Sunday jazz brunch.

Emeril's
Owned by the famous Chef Emeril Lagasse, the menu is full of the chef's New Orleans creative cooking style with favorites like the barbecued shrimp, double-cut pork chops, or the sinful banana cream pie. While it's a rare occurrence if you'll be lucky enough to hear a "Bam" uttered by the man himself, this restaurant is still a great eatery to dine at, also featuring an extensive and well-known wine list.

Red Fish Grill
New Orleans' definitive seafood restaurant, Red Fish is a jazzy haven great to bring any date to. With an atmosphere surrounded by a sea-colored etched floor, hand painted tables and a sea of metal fish swimming overhead, Red Fish Grill serves several kinds of Gulf fish nightly. Ask about the catch of the day.

Dickie Berman's Steakhouse
You will strike gold with this steakhouse located in the French Quarter. Dickie's gives you a comfortable, masculine atmosphere while offering you perfectly done steaks with a touch of swank ambience. Top it all off with the Foster bread pudding with homemade vanilla ice cream and rum-raisin crme anglaise, or perhaps a sweet stogie from their great cigar joint.
