COOLinary New Orleans is your chance to try some of the best meals in town at New Orleans’ best restaurants. For the entire month of August, you can feast your way through New Orleans without breaking the bank, as participating restaurants offer two-course lunch menus for $25 or less and three-course brunch and dinner menus for $50 or less.

With cuisine ranging from contemporary to Italian, Asian, and French, it’s also a fantastic time to try out some of NOLA’s most classic Creole and Cajun cuisine. Whether it’s the iconic turquoise exterior of Commander’s Palace in the Garden District, the private dining rooms tucked all around Antoine's, or the wrap-around balconies overlooking Jackson Square at both Tableau and Muriel’s, these restaurants have all been around for decades (in fact, some are over 100) and are all bucket-list dining destinations in NOLA.
