Top Hidden Gems

Description:

East of the French Quarter, in the virtually tourist-free neighborhoods, you can find colorful homes, fun bars, and many off-the-beaten-path eateries. In the Marigny, try the Cake Café and Sukho Thai. In the Bywater, have brunch at Elizabeth’s, or late-night drinks at the Saturn Bar. On Sundays, the Bywater wine bar Bacchanal hires chefs from local restaurants to cook al dente in their lush, tropical courtyard, and every third Saturday the Bywater Art Market sets up in Markey Park, selling art, crafts, and food. West of the French Quarter, you can find plenty of hidden gems in the sprawling Uptown neighborhoods, such as fine dining at Clancy’s or a fresh, delicious brunch at Surrey’s Juice Bar. There are even hidden gems on some of the more residential streets of the French Quarter. Cosimo’s is a comfortable and pretty little place with delicious (and inexpensive!) food and drinks. Also be sure to check out a local Mid-City favorite – gelato and cannoli at Angelo Broccatos.

    Description:

    The modest surroundings and the simple white frame building housing Elizabeth's can be quite deceptive and is no indication of the delicious food on the platter. It serves a hearty meal whether its breakfast, brunch, lunch or dinner. The 'Praline Bacon', 'Eggs Elizabeth', 'Redneck Eggs Benedict' which are poached eggs perched atop fried green tomatoes are to die for.'Calas' and 'Apple Crepes' are some of the house specialties. All in all, an unpretentious eatery for casual dates and outings.

    Description:

    This contemporary bistro located Uptown offers upscale yet comfortable dining. The decor is minimal with neutral gray walls and ceiling fans above the bentwood chairs and white linen tablecloths. The easy, sophisticated charm is a favorite with professional and business types from nearby uptown neighborhoods. Dishes are imaginative twists on New Orleans favorites. Specialties include the fresh sautéed fish in cream sauce flavored with crawfish stock and fried oysters matched with Brie. The cozy bar is known for its single-malt scotch selection.

    Description:

    The dining room at Sukho Thai is huge, with high ceilings and light golden walls that make the oddly shaped room seem only larger. Enjoy your meal in a casual atmosphere or ask to be seated behind the divided wall for a more private setting. Sukho, (meaning Dawn of Happiness) Thai serves up traditional beef curry, noodles, and vegetarian dishes along with Wok and seafood specialties. Rich desserts are available with a tropical flair, or try the local favorite, black rice pudding. This is a non-alcoholic restaurant, but it makes up for its lack of spirits with the expansive selection of flavored teas.
