What Is A Good Creole Restaurant In New Orleans?

Filed under Cajun Food FAQ
My boyfriend just arrived back from Afghanistan after a year’s deployment and I want to do something special for him, so I booked a weekend in New Orleans as a romantic welcome back. I’ve been before, but always with friends. We’re staying at a B&B, going to see Hot 8 Brass band, taking the Honey Island Swamp tour, the Haunted ghost tour through the French Quarter, and Bourbon street, of course,bu I need advice on good restaurants! He loves spicy and creole food, and New Orleans is the home of it, so where should I go?

Everyone gave you decent suggestions, and the list from NOLA Saint is especially good.
Note that Creole does not automatically mean spicy. You may want to check for a Cajun restuarant like K-Paul’s: http://www.kpauls.com/site297.php
If you do want Creole, probably the most traditional and authentic restaurant for that is Tujaques: http://www.tujaguesrestaurant.com/
Make reservations wherever you decide to go. . Also let the manager (not just the reservations agent or whoever answers the phone) know your BF is home on leave from Afghanistan.
Bon Appetit!
