High end, mix of locals and tourists, off the beaten path (not French Quarter), only big name chef in NO who's in his kitchen every night, fabulous: Brigtsen's. Homey 'cause it's in a house. High end, mix of locals and tourists, off the beaten path (not French Quarter), mainly husband-and-wide operation: Gabrielle. Terrific French neighborhhod, very few tourists, decently hard to find, and the one place we eat every time we're in NO: La Crepe Nanou. If you want to avoid the most tourists, just stay away from the Brennans' empire. -- Larry

I end up in New Orleans a lot on business, and have gotten rather tired of the tourisy places, but still have some favorites. For inexpensive good eats: Mother's, 401 Poydras, a few blocks north of Harrah's. Get the "Debris Po-boy" for lunch, or the ham biscuit for breakfast. Absolutely, positively my first stop every time I pass through NO. If you're in the French Quarter, it's hard to avoid touristy places, but if you're looking for something a little less touristy in that area, I usually like Remoulade (corner of Bienville and Bourbon). It's a lower-key restaurant from the folks that run Arnaud's.

It is high end, but very comfortable, friendly, out of the way, and the chef is almost always there. The Praline Connection had pretty down to earth food, nice lunch there.
