New Orleans Food

Some people come to New Orleans for the legendary music scene. Others visit New Orleans to soak up some of the city's grand history and rich, utterly unique culture. Plenty of people travel to the Big Easy for the non-stop, year-round party on Bourbon Street and our world-class tours and attractions. But there's one thing everybody comes to New Orleans for: the food. We take eating seriously down here -- you might even say food is our oxygen. New Orleans is home to some of the oldest historic restaurants in the country, and there is no other city in the U.S. that can claim not one, but two indigenous regional cuisines. From our fine Creole-French dining to the rustic, Cajun fare of South Louisiana, New Orleans dining is a one-of-a-kind experience.
