Restaurants and bars

The French Quarter of New Orleans is rightly known for its excellent restaurants. Here we have pictures some better known ones and some pictures of establishments that struck our fancy.

What is the difference between Cajun and Creole? This is from http://www.frenchquarter.com/:

"For the newcomer trying to sort it all out, a key point to remember is that Creole cooking came out of the kitchens of New Orleans restaurants, supplied by the commerce of a rich port and served to city dwellers. Conversely, Cajun cooking came out of the country, using whatever could be trapped, hunted or harvested from swamps and bayous and generally served family style. Indeed, famed Louisiana chef John Folse once explained the difference with the anecdotal quip that Cajuns eat in the kitchen and Creoles eat in the dining room."

New Orleans is of course known for its jazz. You can enjoy it during the day, for example at a jazz brunch, or at night.

And it is known for its bars and clubs, especially on Bourbon Street.
