Waiting in line for a table or going to a place that requires reservations can sometimes be stressful. At some of New Orleans’ most popular restaurants, it can take a while before you get a table. But that doesn’t mean you always have to wait if you want something delicious to eat.
- Carmo, 537 Julia St.
Yelp.com / Doug V.
Yelp.com / Denice M. Looking for international fare in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere? Carmo is an amazing spot where they really go the extra mile ensuring their food is fresh and sustainable. It’s the best place to go when all the fried food you’ve been eating is getting you down.
- Bourbon House, 144 Bourbon St.
Yelp.com / Amanda J.
Yelp.com / Allie P. When you want a luxurious and decadent New Orleans meal without waiting in long lines in the French Quarter? The Bourbon House is big enough to accommodate even larger parties. And they have an awesome selection of Louisiana oyster appetizers.
- Marjie’s Grill, 320 S. Broad St.
Yelp.com / Dan S.
Yelp.com / Amanda T. This fabulous new lunch spot is another great choice when you want locally sourced produce served up with lots of fresh flavor combinations. The cute dining room will ensure this place becomes your next go-to lunch spot.
- MOPHO, 514 City Park Ave.
Yelp.com / Momo B.
Yelp.com / Caitlin C. This modern twist on traditional vietnamese cuisine has been pleasing mid-city residents for a few years now. The chicken wing appetizer is one you will not soon forget. I also love their juicy version of spring rolls.
- Dick and Jenny’s, 4501 Tchoupitoulas St.
Yelp.com / John N.
Yelp.com / Mary Beth C. A couple blocks down from Tipitina’s on Tchoup, you could easily miss this unassuming spot. But you would be making a big mistake. The kitschy interior goes sweetly with lovingly made dishes that pop. Awesome for a romantic meal.
- Canal Street Bistro, 3903 Canal St.
Yelp.com / Hazel R.
Yelp.com / Danielle H. Looking for a weekend breakfast meal but don’t want to stand in line for an hour? This mid-city spot always delivers. You won’t be disappointed by the generous portions.
- Press Street Station, 5 Press St.
Yelp.com / Charles H.
Yelp.com / Kimberly J. There’s always something delicious being cooked up at this place, and even on the weekends there isn’t usually a long line. I really like the coffee here, and it’s fun to check out the NOCCA gallery next door.
- Bistro Daisy, 5831 Magazine St.
Yelp.com / Glenn G.
Yelp.com / Marielle S. This adorable spot is ideal for a tasty dinner between Jefferson Ave. and Henry Clay on Magazine St. It’s one of the most charming places in the city.
- The New Feelings Café Bar & Courtyard Lounge, 535 Franklin Ave.
Yelp.com / Ariel D.
Yelp.com / Linda V. This Marigny stand-by has gone through a couple of rebirths lately, but it seems that they are finally getting their foundation back. The food is tasty and the courtyard is as inviting as ever. Great choice for an easy dinner downtown.
