Uptown/Garden District Restaurants Uptown and the Garden District are neighborhoods popular with both the bohemian and the preppy crowds of New Orleans, and the area is full of charming shops, parks and neighborhood cafes with patio dining. There are also lots of classic New Orleans favorites with white linen tablecloths, full wine lists and unique, thoughtful menus. Cannon's Restaurant 4141 St. Charles Avenue New Orleans, LA 70115 Taking a leisurely ride on the St. Charles Ave. street car? Get off at stop 23 and enjoy a tasty blend of New Orleans and American cuisine at Cannon’s Restaurant while overlooking the sights and sounds of St. Charles Avenue. Sip a cocktail and try the Grilled Crabcake Jezerel in a casual dining atmosphere. Private dining is available if you have a large group or looking for the perfect place to have a rehearsal dinner, Cannon’s offers scrumptious food and affordable prices in the beautiful Garden District. Enjoy a cocktail and choose something from our new tapas menu during happy hour, 3-7 daily. Juan’s Flying Burrito 2018 Magazine St. New Orleans, LA 70130 504-569-0000 website Juan’s calls itself a “Creole Taqueria,” and that’s a darn good description. They use New Orleans Rum in their various fruit-flavored mojitos, and their daily specials often involve some sort of fresh, Louisiana-caught seafood. The vibe of the restaurant is half-punk, half-Mexican folk art, and the margaritas and salsa are both top notch. Try the Mardi Gras Indians tacos with roasted corn, pintos and grilled squash, or the Juaha Roll, a tortilla filled with chicken salad, veggies and cheese and sliced sushi-style. There’s also a location in MidCity. Clancy’s 6100 Annunciation St. New Orleans, LA 70118 504-895-1111 A small and romantic dining room lies inside of the unassuming house almost all the way to the riverbend on Annunciation Street. The smoked and fried softshell crab is then topped with sautéed lump crabmeat, making it a definite favorite, and the fried oysters with brie are a popular appetizer. The bartenders have a strong hand in pouring cocktails; make sure to save room for Grandma-style desserts like lemon ice box pie. Café Freret 7329 Freret St. New Orleans, LA 70118 504-861-7890 website Café Freret is perfect for the Tulane and Loyola crowd as it is right in the neighborhood and serves breakfast all day. They also feature wings, salads and some tasty and inventive daily specials, like Portabella Benedict on Saturday and Sunday mornings and Crawfish Freret on Fridays. Strange fact to remember: They’re closed on Thursdays. No to delivery, but yes to catering. Quizno’s 2801 Magazine St. New Orleans, LA 70115 504-891-1747 website Quizno’s offers oven-toasted sub sandwiches made with premium ingredients, as well as flatbread “Sammies” for carb-counters, “chopped” salads with romaine lettuce, meats and cheeses, soups in bread bowls and some mighty good cookies. They also have a tasty Raspberry Lemonade. Dante’s Kitchen 736 Dante St. New Orleans, LA 70118 504-861-3121 website Dante’s Kitchen is snug in the curve of the Mississippi River in an old Creole cottage. There’s a warm porch with a swing and a flower-filled courtyard, and the rooms inside are bright and cheerful, each painted a different color. The menu changes seasonally and focuses on local, fresh ingredients. The roasted duck breast, served with Barq’s sweet potatoes, andouille cornbread dressing and peach BBQ sauce sounds particularly tempting, and their dessert menu is full of tasty treats like a banana tartlet with white chocolate and hazelnuts. A house-canned Ruston peach mojito is a great before or after-dinner drink. Brunch on Sundays.
