🏆 Top 3 Must-Try Spots in New Orleans
If your schedule only allows for a few stops, don’t miss our favorite spots:
1. Bearcat Baked
Their biscuit breakfast sandwiches and sweet treats made us want to move in. A simple atmosphere perfect for a lazy morning and good matcha lattes!
2. Napoleon House
Dating back to 1797, this historic landmark serves the city’s best muffuletta, a large Italian inspired sandwich with various meats, cheeses, and a tapeded style olive mix stacked high. It’s a New Orleans classic, known for its combination of salty, briny, and savory flavors and it paired perfectly with the classic southern sides.
3. Gumbo Shop – This cozy spot for classic gumbo in the French Quarter.
