Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

This is Emeril’s country, and with that comes great restaurants. People come from all over the country to taste the one-of-a-kind Cajun cooking in New Orleans. If you’re not into all the spice that Cajun food is famous for, the city has nationally acclaimed and prize-winning Italian and seafood restaurants as well. Café Giovanni, an Italian restaurant in the Quarter, is a great example. The Chinese and Mexican food here is not great, but there are a few places that are worth visiting. Pretty much all Chinese take-out is the same, but some places are a lot cheaper than others.

Unlike a lot of cities, there are dozens of excellent restaurants within neighborhoods that are away from the tourist-driven French Quarter and Market. When students want to go out to eat on a school night and don’t want to go all the way downtown, there are plenty of places within walking distance, such as Frescos, O’Henrys, and the Camilla Grill, or a short streetcar ride away, like the Cheesecake Bistro, Copeland’s, Superior Grille, Houston’s, and Voodoo BBQ, among others. There are many small cafés and restaurants down Maple and Oak Street and all through the Uptown area that are relatively inexpensive and have a unique atmosphere. New Orleans is home to some of the best food in the country, and definitely the best in the South. Bon appétit!

Incredible Cajun Food

New Orleans is world-renowned for its amazing, unique cuisine. I must admit, I do not like everything the city has to offer, since I am a very picky eater. Nevertheless, the originality and high quality and amazing taste of New Orleans cuisine is unmatched by any other city in the country, perhaps the world.

You Have Got to Be Kidding Me.

TULANE IS IN NEW ORLEANS! This place is home to some of the greatest restaurants in the world. You can find something great tasting to eat at any point on the spectrum: from dirt cheap to expensive, from all kinds of different cuisines. Finding the really good places are half the fun!

New Orleans Food Is Awesome!!

You can't beat the food in New Orleans - everywhere you go is delicious. One of my favorite things to do is discover new restaurants and new foods. Around campus there are a bunch of great restaurants, and if you go downtown you can find excellent local New Orleans and Cajun food!
