Best Restaurants in Frenchmen Street

89 restaurants analyzed · New Orleans

Frenchmen Street in the Marigny is where locals go for live music and late-night eating, with American, Southern, and Creole restaurants lining the blocks east of the French Quarter. Quality is solid, and prices lean toward the higher end but with more of a neighborhood energy than the Quarter. The area is at its best in the evening when the music venues are open.
