Dooky Chase is one of the most notable restaurants in the French Quarter. Here is one one reviewer says about Dooky Chase: “Came here because we had heard about the place’s fame and reputation. When driving in the area we were afraid we might not make it here before closing time but luckily we made it. My wife had seafood gumbo and I had beet salad with fried oysters. Everything was delicious and flavorful. There was a good amount and variety of meat in the gumbo. Fried oysters also were great. Very nice place to dine; our server was friendly and attentive.”

Here’s what one reviewer says about Cafe Du Monde. “What else can I say that hasn’t already been said. This place is an absolute must despite the touristy crowd. The jazz band that sits on the sidewalk out front adds the perfect level of cover from the hustling and bustling sounds of the street.”
