Arnaud's
One of the best for traditional haute Creole cuisine, Arnaud's was founded in 1918 by the extravagant French 'Count' Arnaud Cazenave. The restaurant is an agglomeration of buildings that take up almost an entire city block; the main dining room exhudes stately old-world elegance. The food isn't scintillating but the seafood specialities are handled well.

Clancy's
A most unassuming local favorite, Clancy's is fine dining in intimate surroundings - you'll feel like a welcomed stranger in a crowd of old friends here. Have a finely mixed cocktail while perusing the menu. You'll see nearby patrons sighing with pleasure over Clancy's beloved blue crab specialty, smoked then sautéed, which should nudge you in that direction. Nightly specials are always solid and inventive takes on Creole classics. Ice box pie is brings perfect closure.

Emeril's
Chef Emeril Lagasse's flagship restaurant lives up to all the hype. His protégés rustle up consistently scrumptious Bam!-worthy fare under the modern glass arch looking out on the main dining room, and an attentive staff sees to your every need.

Olivier's
Olivier's has its loyal followers, who appreciate authentic, inexpensive Creole food in the French Quarter. It's run by an African-American Creole family that has been in the restaurant business for five generations, and the recipes here have been handed down and refined over the decades. Share a gumbo sampler, an education in local cuisine, before digging into regional specialties such as Creole rabbit, crabcakes and broiled catfish. Save room for bourbon-pecan pie.

An excellent choice for contemporary Creole food in romantic surroundings. Owner JoAnn Clevenger loves her city - it's art, its architecture, its cuisine - and Upperline reflects these passions. She plays the charming hostess, making sure each guest feels welcome in her beautiful old house, its walls covered with vibrant paintings. Diners are then treated to exquisite Creole dishes.
