Brennan’s

The newly reopened historic restaurant located right on Royal Street in the heart of New Orleans, has plenty of luxury and charm, with the food to back it up. Delicious New Orleans favorites like seafood gumbo and barbeque lobster meet new delights, such as their unique take on the Buddha Bowl.
 
Perfect for a couple looking for a classy spot for a ritzy dinner, or simply to enjoy classic New Orleans at its best.
 
Must Try Dessert: Bananas Foster (A longtime Brennan’s tradition!)

Cochon

Specializing in traditional southern food in a trendy modern setting, this restaurant is another gem of the Mississippi.
 
They locally source their meat and seafood, their roots are Cajun, and they excel at hosting special events, with private and semi-private dining options located right in their restaurant. If you’re looking for classic Cajun food with a romantic setting, you’re in the right place.
 
Must Try Dessert: Grasshopper Pie (Don’t let the name fool you, if you’ve never had this traditional southern treat, no one does it better than Cochon!)

Commanders Palace

This award-winning historic restaurant is a New Orleans staple, and the perfect destination for a newlywed couple looking to share a romantic dinner together.
 
With live music, private dining options, a wine room, exquisite atmosphere and 5-star food, the Commanders Palace might be just what you’re looking for. Their specialty Haute Creole dishes and list of accolades makes them one of New Orleans most famous dining locations.
 
Must Try Dessert: Bread Pudding (The epitome of New Orleans comfort food!)
 

Antoine's on St. Louis

Hailed as the oldest French Quarter Creole restaurant in New Orleans, Antoine’s is another historic landmark in the heart of the city that people flock to for great traditional eats.
 
What began in 1840 as a simple classy restaurant with great food is now an elegant foodie destination with ten massive dining rooms, exquisite furnishings, top quality Creole dishes, and a tradition of quality service. What more could a newlywed couple want?
 
Must Try Dessert: Peche Melba (Antoine’s signature, it’s just as good as it sounds!)

Compere Lapin

This Arts District Staple is another Creole and Caribbean food Mecca. Their menu is based around traditional Caribbean folktales and its modern but classy setting makes it another excellent selection for couples looking for a place to have a romantic night out.
 
Headed by Chef Nina Compton, this recently-opened New Orleans gem is sure to please any newlywed pair wanting a taste of what the city has to offer.

Dickie Brennans Steakhouse

New Orleans’ signature steakhouse, Dickie Brennans has been specializing in beef preparation for decades, and is known for its awards and accolades from across the country. Not only are their steaks something to write home about, they also cook up delicious New Orleans favorites such as turtle soup and crabcakes. They also feature a full bar and private dining options.
 
If you’re looking for upscale dining with a focus on “roadhouse” style eats, a couple couldn’t go wrong making their destination here.
 
Must Try Dessert: Sweet Potato Doberge Cake (Hulking seven layers of rum-soaked cake goodness.)

Ralph's on the Park

Another renown New Orleans restaurant located in the heart of Mid-City, specializing in luxurious events and parties. Traditional southern fare with an international, refined twist. They pride themselves in establishing relationships with local farmers, and source all of their ingredients right from these small, dedicated farms. They place high importance on the “farm to table” aspect of their dishes, and it shows. Their food is top quality, as is their service.

Sucre

We finish our restaurant tour with a French Quarter staple. This fancy French bakery is home to a wide variety of pastries, cookies, cakes, and mouth-watering confections. They’re not a restaurant in the traditional sense, as they only serve brunch, but if you’re looking for a downright magical outing, Sucre is where you want to be.
 
Stylized as a “sweet boutique,” Sucre has been producing high quality sweet and treats since 2007, and has since become one of the city’s best known landmarks for foodies and tourists, and just about anyone looking for something to quell their sweet tooth.
 
They specialize in everything from gourmet chocolates to giant decadent cookies (literally Big Awesome Cookies), custom cakes, delicious coffee and more. There’s no way we could pick any one must try dessert: you have to try everything here and see (taste) for yourself why this place has such a high reputation!
