Having grown up in Louisiana and visited many times since, my list looks different from yours:

  1. Palace Café, with second lines and jazz brunches jumpstarting the day

  2. Drago’s, for local seafood done traditionally

  3. Mother’s, for an African American/Creole meal that drips with authenticity

  4. Camellia Grill, for the best omelette and burgers in the city

  5. Cafe du Monde
