This is a great place for brunch for adults who don't want a typical brunch scene. They do a drag brunch on Saturdays (make sure to make a reservation) They also have a pool and hot tub out back that is open all day and way into the night. You can just do the bar/pool.

We don't love eating in the French quarter in general. The upscale and pricy restaurants are great, but anything cheaper tends not to be very good. This restaurant is an exception, well priced, decent food. It has a great history to it, the building is amazing (was originally meant to be Napoleon's house once he arrived), cute patio as well.

Wonderful creole food in an amazing and quirky location. This is one of our favorite restaurants in the city; try the alligator cheesecake (it is savory, not sweet). There is usually a wait though, so show up early and grab a drink at the Maple leaf bar next door and wander the neighborhood. They only accept reservations for parties over 5.
