Hi all,
I’m going to be in New Orleans for a few days and have been very bad about planning meals or drinks. Any particular recommendations that do not require reservations far in advance? I know some places like Commander’s are booked up for the next month so that is not an option.
I did find the thread on New Orleans bars and am reading through that, but recommendations there too are appreciated. I will be staying near Lafayette Square.
Thanks!
This thread has lots of good info and recommendations.

I like Cochon, one of Donald Link’s restaurants.
Was down there for Jazz Fest this past May. Some great eats! Loved Saba for Mediterranean food. Brennan’s is definitely touristy, however they have a ridiculous wine list so worth it for the list. Peche was really great. Had a good brunch at Miss River.
Gabrielle
Herbsaint
Maypop
Bywater Cafe
La Petite Grocery
Toups Meatery- also good lunch spot. Boudin better than Conchon imo
Rosedale- Susan Spizer new casual spot
Peche
Brennans for traditional brunch also great bar.
Atchafalaya
Domilise’s , Parkway for po boys
I also like Cochon and Saba. I have not been, but a good friend strongly recommends Neyow’s Creole Cafe.
Really enjoyed Paladar 511.
Thanks all for the recommendations! I went to Coop’s place yesterday (excellent traditional food), Cochon for lunch today (great sandwiches and surprisingly good wine menu… had a nice lambrusco), and the plan is for Herbsaint and Coquette tomorrow.
