Cajun & Creole Restaurants in New Orleans

by Tom Fitzmorris, New Orleans' leading restaurant critic

It's easier to make a list of restaurants that aren't Creole in New Orleans than one of those that are. So here are a just a few, to show how far the local cuisine ranges. It goes from classical to modern Creole, from fancy to neighborhood style, and even to Creole-Italian. Of course, there are many more Cajun restaurants outside of New Orleans. But my beat is New Orleans, and the Creole-versus-Cajun question only comes up here, so I've limited my restaurants to those in town.
