401 Magazine St, New Orleans 70130 • 888-524-5611 |

Description:
CBD. Located in a historic 19th century building, this restaurant's interior – exposed brick walls, checkered tablecloths, wrought iron fixtures – exemplifies casual elegance. The real draw, however, is the traditional Cajun cooking, highlighted by specialties such as chicken fried steak, crawfish étouffée, jambalaya, catfish, turtle soup and soft-shell crab. Closed weekends. |

|
321 Arabella St, New Orleans 70115 • 504-899-9146 |
|
|
| |
Description:
UPTOWN. Checkered table cloths, cramped bar space and jukebox tunes from the 60s and 70s playing in the background hint at the age of this neighborhood institution. Nonetheless, diners fail to grow tired of the eatery's classic Cajun cuisine. Po-boys, filled with shrimp, crawfish tails, meatballs, softshell crab, oysters, catfish, ham, sausage, turkey or pastrami don the menu, and other offerings include fried chicken, tuna salad, pork chops, hamburger steak, and variety of seafood platters. |

Coop's Place |
|
(Restaurants - Cajun) |
|
1109 Decatur St, New Orleans 70116 • 504-525-9053 |
|
|
| |
Description:
FRENCH QUARTER. Small and tight, Coop's probably doesn't find itself on most travelers' agendas, and to be quite honest, that's a crying shame. Indeed, the well-worn surfaces and aged brick have a secret they're willing to share with those who venture in from the street. Unpolished, seductive, and some might say even a touch dingy, Coop's is as N'awlins as can be. Staples like shrimp Creole, Cajun-fried chicken, fried oysters and jambalaya are always good bets for lunch, sure, but if you really want to experience the place, come late and order the Taste Plate, which features the items above along with scrumptious portions of seafood gumbo and red beans & rice with sausage. |
