We did eat at Peristyle and had a terrific meal, a great experience all around. Reserve well in advance there, though. Bayona is also a terrific place for dinner. Galatoire's has some real local atmosphere. I agree with Napoleon House, it's a good place to go for lunch. Acme Oyster House is a good lunch as well. Many good choices! Some of the best places are out of the French Quarter; Brigtsen's, Emeril's, and Commander's Palace come to mind quickly. Many of the restaurants feature (spelling?) Reveillon menus, a festival they have until the holiday. There are good deals to be had. Also, try this website: http://www.insideneworleans.com/food . It features news and reviews from a New Orleans food critic who is enjoyable to read, Tom Fitzmorris. Have fun!

New Orleans, LA
New Orleans - looking for French Quarter recommendations
Bayona is wonderful. Irene's is excellent for Italian food. Tally Ho is a little whole in the wall with great breakfasts. Try their pork and shrimp sausage or the alligator sausage. Leslie come visit us at www.thefoodcritics.com
Royal Cafe on royal, is lovely for brunch or breakfast. be sure to get a balcony seat so you can watch the quarter antics. cheers, cheryl On Fri, 03 Dec 1999 12:47:55 GMT, [email removed] (The Gray Fox) wrote: >I have not visited New Orleans in over 10 years. >My wife and I will be visiting there around Christmas and staying in >the French Quarter (I don't know exactly where yet). >I am interested in any recommendations for somewhere to have a >nice dinner - good food and a nice local atmosphere, as well as >some good places for breakfast.

A couple blocks outside the French Quarter, worth the stroll. I'd do anything for a roast beef po' boy (with debris!) right about now!!

Try Uglesich. Downtown on Barrone I believe. One of the best kept secrets. Only open for lunch. Bad neighborhood, GREAT food. The best oysters in the city, trout po-boy. Only locals. MCL

I'll second the nomination for Patout's. The gumbo is excellent. As for "my money"... well, actually I'd say for someone else's money. A group of three of us ate there in 1989 and the bill was $180 pre-tip. But for a special occasion, it's a great place to go. -Derek
