Discover 30 must-try New Orleans foods from gumbo to beignets as well as the city’s best drinks. Also get tips on where to eat and drink them all.
New Orleans is an over-achiever when it comes to food.
While other cities in the United States have a signature dish or two, New Orleans, the 57th-largest city in the US according to the World Population Review, has dozens of dishes that were either invented in the Crescent City or are better there due to the city’s food culture and its proximity to the Gulf.
Many traditional New Orleans food favorites incorporate elements of the city’s melting pot with influences from countries like France, Germany, Italy and Vietnam. Others have ties to Cajun and Creole cuisines introduced by descendants of Acadians and Caribbean islanders who emigrated to Louisiana. Then there are comforting soul food dishes, with deep direct roots to the African diaspora, that stick to the ribs and taste like home.
🔓 Key Takeaways
- New Orleans is one of America’s greatest food cities. Its food blends French, Spanish, African, Caribbean and Cajun-Creole influences into a cuisine unlike any other.

Must-Eat Food in New Orleans
We both fell for New Orleans years before falling for each other. From beignets at Café du Monde to fried oysters smothered in hot sauce, each bite has a story, often involving a side of live jazz or a nearby block party. Time after time and visit after visit, New Orleans food keeps giving us new reasons to come back for more.
Discover our New Orleans food favorites including craveable dishes, spicy stews, overstuffed sandwiches, sugary confections and drinks with centuries of history. We include places to try them all.
1. Gumbo
Gumbo is Louisiana in a bowl. Essentially, it’s a hearty, roux-thickened stew (or soup, if you will) that’s loaded with andouille sausage, chicken, duck or seafood. The name derives from the West African word for okra though not every gumbo actually uses the slimy veg. Some are thickened with filé, a thickening powder from the American sassafras tree, instead.
Creole gumbos are typically light brown while Cajun gumbos skew deeper and darker. We prefer the latter. Then there’s gumbo z’herbes, a (sort of) vegetable gumbo that’s served at New Orleans restaurants on Friday during lent. They all pack heat smoke, and comfort in every spoonful.

2. Jambalaya
Jambalaya gets confused with gumbo by the uninitiated but the dishes aren’t the same. While gumbo is a hearty soup, jambalaya is a rice dish that fuses Spanish paella with West African spices and Gulf seafood.
The jambalaya recipe includes andouille sausage, shrimp, Louisiana’s vegetable trinity (celery, onions and green peppers) and a whole bunch of spices. Creole jambalaya adds tomatoes while Cajun jambalaya is tomato-free. Be warned – eating either version may inspire you to sing Jambalaya on the Bayou. It’s a festive song that’s been covered by a slew of artists including Hank Williams Jr.

3. Po’ Boy
Invented by New Orleanians with Italian heritage, the po’ boy stands out from the American sandwich pack starting with its Leidenheimer baguette. Yes, all traditional po’ boys use the same bread. Adding crispy fried seafood or melt-in-your-mouth slow-cooked beef plus toppings elevates the submarine hybrid to icon status.
Most NOLA natives have their favorite po’ boy spots depending on the toppings and neighborhood. You can read about our favorites in this guide to the best po’ boys in New Orleans. However, you need to eat several to find your personal favorites.

4. Muffuletta
| Image: ©2foodtrippers
Invented by some of the first Italians to immigrate to America more than a century ago, the muffuletta is NOLA’s second sandwich icon. Channeling Sicily, it’s essentially a round bread loaf that’s split and stuffed with cured meats, cheese and sharp, marinated olive salad. In our opinion, the punchy, acidic olive salad is what makes this sandwich sing.

5. Fried Chicken
Southern Americans didn’t invent the concept of battering chicken and frying it to crispy goodness. That honor goes to savvy Scots and ancient Romans before them (and let’s not forget the Portuguese, of course). However, it’s fair to say that soul food cooks in America’s South have more than mastered the art of preparing fried chicken. It’s also fair to say that New Orleans serves some of the best fried chicken in the country.
Female chefs Leah Chase and Willie Mae Seaton (and their descendants) put New Orleans on the fried chicken map. You’ll understand why eating fried chicken is a must when you pair a crispy, juicy, golden bird with red beans and rice.

6. Turtle Soup
Turtle soup proves the age-old adage that most proteins taste like chicken. You’ll find the thick, savory soup at a handful of classic NOLA restaurants. Not many cities celebrate this old-school delicacy, meaning you probably can’t get it anywhere else.
Brennan’s and Commander’s Palace serve their turtle soup with sherry. A splash of the fortified liquor adds a tasty kick to the old-school delicacy.

7. Yak-a-Mein
Yaka mein sounds like it should be a Tibetan soup. Instead, it’s a Cajun-Chinese food favorite in New Orleans that doubles as a local hangover remedy.
Crescent City cooks prepare yaka mein by adding beef and noodles to a salty broth before topping the fusion soup with chopped green onions and a hard-boiled egg. Sometimes they go crazy and replace the beef with shrimp.

8. Shrimp Remoulade
Remoulade wasn’t invented in New Orleans. That honor goes to France centuries ago. But New Orleans cooks made the creamy mayonnaise-based emulsion their own when they added spicy mustard and horseradish to the sauce. Combining that sauce with Gulf shrimp creates a salad dish appropriately called shrimp remoulade.
It looks like a simple shrimp salad. But you’ll understand why shrimp remoulade is one of America’s top salads once you take a tasty bite. The jazzed up sauce brings heat to the shrimp party that’s impossible to resist.

9. BBQ Shrimp
You won’t find NOLA’s BBQ shrimp on a grill or slathered with BBQ sauce. Instead, these plump Gulf beauties are sautéed in a pan with Worcestershire sauce and a whole lot of butter.
You can eat BBQ shrimp on a plate or inside a BBQ shrimp po’ boy. Wear a bib either way. This dish is as messy as it is tasty.

10. Oysters
Finding oysters in New Orleans is the opposite of a problem. Restaurants serve the plump bivalves raw over crushed ice all year long, not just during months that contain the letter ‘r.’
Some NOLA cooks fry the little critters before piling them inside po’ boys. Then there are restaurants like Antoine’s and Arnaud’s which have signature baked oyster dishes, oyster Rockefeller and oyster Rockefeller respectively. Meanwhile, Drago’s charbroils their oysters to create a dish that gets its own category in this guide.
Ironically, we didn’t eat our favorite oysters at any of these restaurants. Proving that great oysters are available all over the city, we ate outstanding preparations at both Brennan’s and Herbsaint.

11. Charbroiled Oysters
Charbroiled oysters are the solution to the dilemma when you can’t decide between eating oysters or garlic bread. Cooks channel both foods by topping oysters with butter, garlic, oregano, parsley and two cheeses (Parmesan and Romano) before charbroiling them on a grill.
While you could eat charbroiled oysters elsewhere, Drago’s is the dish’s standard bearer. Not only did Tommy Cvitanovich add the dish to the Drago’s menu in 1969, but his family’s restaurant claims to serve more than 900 dozen charbroiled oysters on a daily basis.

12. Alligator
Eating alligator meat is an unusual thing to do in most cities. New Orleans is not one of those cities. Instead, it’s a city where it’s easy to find alligator meat in Cajun and Creole dishes like gumbo, creole stew and fried alligator tail.
Our first alligator meal featured lush alligator cheesecake at Jacque-Imo’s prior to listening to live music at the nearby Maple Leaf Bar. We’ve since eaten fried alligator at Cochon and Drago’s as well as alligator sausage at Dat Dog, one of our New Orleans cheap eats favorites.
If you’re wondering what alligator tastes like, we have a one word answer: chicken.

13. Crawfish (Seasonal)
| Image: ©2foodtrippers
Crayfish. Crawdads. Mudbugs. Whatever you call them, locals eat buckets of the little crustaceans every spring at boils and festivals, often paired with andouille sausage, corn on the cob and potatoes.
Don’t feel left out. New Orleans restaurants serve crawfish from February until the middle of May. Roll up your sleeves. A neater option is to order crawfish étouffée instead.

14. Étouffée
A derivative of the French word étouffer, which translates to smother, étouffée is a thick seafood stew typically served over rice. While it’s easy to assume that the ‘smothering’ happens when the stew is poured over the rice, the name actually refers to the Cajun / Creole technique of cooking food low and slow in a covered pan.
Unlike gumbo, étouffée’s roux can be either dark brown or sweet blonde. In other words you have two choices with this dish – the type of roux and the type of seafood. Shrimp and crawfish are the most popular options.

15. Red Beans and Rice
Monday and red beans & rice are synonymous in New Orleans. The simple dish, in which red beans are stewed with leftover pork bones or smoked ham hocks and served over white rice, became a Monday tradition as an easy dish to cook on ‘clean up’ days.
While Mondays are no longer relegated to doing laundry, this day of the week remains the traditional day to eat red beans & rice at Black-owned restaurants like Dooky Chase’s, Neyow’s Creole Café and Willie Mae’s Scotch House. However, Monday isn’t the only day to eat heaping bowls of red beans & rice in New Orleans. All three of these restaurants serve the iconic NOLA dish all week long, not just on Monday. They also serve crispy fried chicken which pairs well with… you guessed it… red beans & rice.

16. Praline Bacon
Picture crisp bacon lacquered with pecan brown sugar, caramelized to praline perfection. Elizabeth’s invented it, and we wish everyone else would steal their idea. It’s not just genius. It’s also delicious.
When we saw the dish on Elizabeth’s brunch menu at Elizabeth’s Restaurant, we had to order it. Later, when we returned to the Bywater restaurant with friends, we enjoyed the praline bacon so much that we ordered a second serving. It’s a New Orleans dish that’s so wrong it’s right.

17. Mac and Cheese
A deep dive into American food history reveals that macaroni & cheese has been part of American cuisine for two centuries. The dish dates back to the 18th century when founding father Thomas Jefferson and his Black chef James Hemings brought the concept back to Monticello from Europe.
We sometimes forget about the magic of eating a hot bowl of mac + cheese but then we eat it and remember why it’s so good. Soul food restaurants in New Orleans are great spots to rekindle the mac + cheese magic. Not only does the dish pair well with fried chicken, but it’s also great as a meal on its own.

18. Zapp’s Kettle Chips
Skip standard American potato chips in New Orleans. Instead, eat kettle chips in flavors like spicy cajun crawtator and voodoo. Zapp’s has been producing these unique flavors, as well as special edition Mardi Gras chips, in Louisiana since 1995.
Zapp’s cooks their chips in peanut oil in large kettles. We’ve spotted colorful bags of the company’s voodoo chips at po’ boy shops like Killer PoBoys as well as at CVS stores on Canal Street. You can also buy Zapp’s kettle chips on Amazon if you get a craving and you’re not in NOLA.

19. Hot Sauce
New Orleans is hot and we’re not just talking about the weather. We’re also talking about bottles of hot sauce available at restaurants all over the city. In New Orleans, the question isn’t if you should add hot sauce to your food. Instead, the question is which hot sauce to add.
Crystal and Tabasco are local favorites, but Louisiana Hot Sauce and others have fans too. Try them all to find your favorite.

20. Brunch
Brunch wasn’t invented in New Orleans but it should have been. This is a city that celebrates everything that makes the mid-day meal great – decadent food, boozy beverages, lack of stress and live jazz.
We’ve eaten brunch all over the world from New York to Cape Town as well as in Amsterdam and Lisbon. While we can eat pancakes and waffles in all of these cities, New Orleans is the only city where we’ve eaten French toast outrageously decorated in Mardi Gras colors and stuffed with cinnamon. It’s also where we’ve eaten oysters so divine that we could cry. Additionally, as previously noted, NOLA is the only city where we’ve eaten praline bacon. Enough said.

21. Vietnamese Food
Many people visit New Orleans when the city is at its most pleasant. The breezes are cool and the skies are blue. Who would, in their right mind, visit the Crescent City between the humid months of mid-May to September when the air is thick, the temperatures are stifling and the rains fall hard? Well, we did. And the weather reminded us of Vietnam. As it turns out, Vietnamese people have become an influential element of the city’s culinary tapestry.
The best way to experience NOLA’s Vietnamese food in its purest form is to drive or take an Uber east of the city. You can slurp pho and eat Vietnamese dishes at restaurants like Ba Mien in the heart of the original East New Orleans area where many Vietnamese settled in the late 1970s. You’ll feel the history of this relatively young community as well as the trials and tribulations they’ve endured to become an integral, thriving section of New Orleans. Another option is to visit Banh Mi Boys in Metairie, not far from the airport, where you can experience a mashup of Vietnamese and New Orleans street foods that, not surprisingly, features banh mi sandwiches.

22. Bananas Foster
Bananas foster is one of those ‘only in New Orleans’ dishes that are not to be missed. And, while you could hypothetically eat the classic American dessert at another New Orleans restaurant, Brennan’s has built its reputation as THE place to savor caramelized bananas floating in liquor and topped with ice cream.
This preparation of bananas foster involves combining bananas, butter, cinnamon and brown sugar in a pan before adding rum and banana liqueur. Flames flare and excitement builds before the caramelized mixture is plated along with a heaping scoop of vanilla ice cream.

23. Beignets
Although the beignet wasn’t invented in New Orleans, it’s become an integral part of the city’s food culture since the 18th century when Acadian settlers started frying French fritters in Louisiana. It’s even the state’s official donut. Apologies to France and ancient Rome who also claim credit for this donut variety.
Open since 1862, Cafe du Monde is the most popular spot to eat the famous New Orleans dessert. You can also buy Cafe du Monde’s beignet mix from Amazon if you want to make beignets at home. Just make sure you have plenty of powdered sugar on hand before you fry them up.

24. Bread Pudding
Originally a dish born out of scarcity, bread pudding counts pantry items like stale bread, milk, cream and eggs as its main ingredients. But it doesn’t stop there. Additional ingredients like fruit, nuts, cinnamon and vanilla give the dish a richness that belies its humble roots.
Though their ancestors didn’t invent the dish, New Orleans bakers take bread pudding to the next level by topping the ‘carbolicious’ dessert with creamy sauces featuring bourbon and rum. Talk about taking a great dish and making it even greater!

25. Grilled Pecan Pie
The Camellia Grill doesn’t stop at grilling plain and chocolate slices of pecan pie. The iconic New Orleans diner takes the extra step of topping these ooey-gooey slices with scoops of vanilla ice cream upon request. The ice cream is worth the additional cost and calories.
Grilling pecan pie in butter seems like overkill… until you bite into a slice of luscious grilled pecan pie at The Camellia Grill. This bold move isn’t just over the top, it’s also a winning move.

26. Pralines
Although the French Quarter is less than a square mile in size, this relatively small space is more than big enough for two iconic praline shops – Aunt Sally’s Pralines and Leah’s Pralines. Not to be confused with praline shops in France, these two praline purveyors craft a style of praline that’s different from those we’ve eaten in both Belgium and France.
As Elna Stokes, the current owner of Leah’s Pralines and the original owner’s niece, showed us, the physically demanding process to create traditional New Orleans praline involves smothering local pecans with a mixture of butter and sugar. Less traditional pralines feature ingredients like chocolate, caramel, marshmallows and even rum.

27. Sno-ball
Sno-balls have been a thing in New Orleans since 1934 when the Hansen clan started shaving ice and topping each cup with homemade syrup. Now operated by the family’s third generation, this sno-ball shop is a James Beard prize-winning local institution.
Sno-balls come a range of flavors like classic strawberry and orange as well as more modern flavors like honey lavender and satsuma. Additional ingredients like ice cream and coconut milk are also typical at Hansens and other Sno-ball shops.
Warning – Expect lines on hot summer days.

28. King Cake (Seasonal)
Made with braided dough and frosted with icing, king cakes are cinnamon-flavored cakes notable for having the Mardi Gras tricolor of purple, green and gold sugar on top. They colorful cakes have a specific shelf life at traditional New Orleans bakeries though some bakeries sell them beyond the Mardi Gras season.
People who find a plastic baby in their slices are responsible for hosting future Mardi Gras parties or buying the king cake for next year. They also risk breaking a tooth. Chew your slice carefully.

29. Chicory Coffee
Chicory doesn’t actually contain caffeine but don’t let this factoid dissuade you from ordering chicory coffee at Café du Monde. The famous French Quarter cafe blends chicory with coffee to create a nutty, caffeinated beverage that people have enjoyed in New Orleans since the Civil War.
We recommend pairing a chicory café au lait with a plate of beignets at Café du Monde. The milky coffee is an ideal accompaniment to the cafe’s sugary pastries. We always do this one time when we arrive in New Orleans before moving on to third wave coffee.

30. Sazerac Cocktail
The Sazerac’s history dates back to the 1930s when Antoine Peychaud created the original Sazerac at his French Quarter apothecary using a recipe involving Sazerac-de-Forge et Fils cognac, absinthe and bitters. Almost a century later, the strong, sweet and spicy cocktail is the official drink of New Orleans.
You can learn all this classic New Orleans cocktail during a fascinating tour at the Sazerac House. You can also sip Sazeracs at most New Orleans bars.

💡 Frequently Asked Questions
New Orleans cuisine is a delicious jumble of food cultures, with influences from Creole, Cajun, French, German, Italian, Vietnamese and soul food traditions. This means you’ll find rice stews, spicy sausages, sweet pastries, hearty sandwiches and lots of seafood at New Orleans restaurants. Don’t expect a single signature dish, expect dozens! This city’s deep melting-pot roots make every dish a possible new favorite.
New Orleans is most famous for gumbo, jambalaya, beignets, po’ boys, muffuletta, crawfish étouffée, red beans and rice, pralines and fried chicken. These dishes blend Creole, Cajun, French and African food traditions to create one of America’s best food cities.
You should try gumbo, po’ boys, muffuletta, fried chicken, beignets, crawfish (in season) and pralines. Don’t forget to sip a Sazerac cocktail and sample king cake if your visit coincides with Mardi Gras.
Signature New Orleans delicacies include turtle soup, charbroiled oysters, crawfish étouffée and bananas foster. Many are local to the city and help form unique culinary history.
Cajun and Creole cuisine share many ingredients and techniques but they’re not the same. Cajun cuisine originated with Acadian settlers who adapted rustic country cooking to their new Louisiana setting. Creole cuisine, with influence from French, Spanish, African, Caribbean, and Italian immigrants, is more refined. Cajun dishes tend to be heartier and more rustic, while Creole dishes often incorporate tomatoes, richer sauces and a broader range of seasonings. Both cuisines feature gumbo and jambalaya.
Classic New Orleans desserts include beignets, bread pudding topped with rum or bourbon sauce, pralines made with pecans and sugar, bananas foster, king cake during Mardi Gras and sno-balls in the summer.
Crawfish season generally runs from late February through mid-May. This is the time when the crustaceans are freshest and easiest to find.
To eat crawfish the NOLA way, twist the tail off, suck the spicy juice out of the head and then peel out the tail meat. But first roll up your sleeves since eating crawfish is both messy and fun.
While most classic NOLA dishes involve meat or seafood, many restaurants now offer vegetarian or vegan takes on gumbo, po’ boys and jambalaya.
Yes. Tips are expected and comprise a large component of a server’s compensation. The standard is 15-20%.

As far as BBQ shrimp go you were way off the mark.
Manales’ Restaurant serves the original BBQ shrimp, shell and head still on.
Manales’ is famous for their BBQ shrimp. They are delicious!!!!!
Great article enjoyed reading brought back so many memories. Thanks for the tour.
Great article….except for the bit about Australians coating prawns(shrimps) in bbq sauce before grilling/bbqing. The only thing bbq sauce goes on in Australia is a sausage sanga(sandwich) Maybe a trip to Australia to experience a great outdoor bbq might be in order. The thought of putting bbq sauce on prawns/shrimp is just disgusting.
Understood. We apologize for our callousness toward Australian BBQ. Noted and corrected.
