Enjoy NOLA in all its traditional flavor! Here are the most famous foods celebrated and ingrained in New Orleans culture:
Gumbo
Creole-Cajun soup invention that includes seafood, okra, tomatoes, sassafras leaves, flour and fat, chicken, or even sausage, all thick and delicious over a layer of rice.
Crawfish Etouffee
New Orleans’ favorite seafood soaked in the perfect combination of seasoning and herbs. Leaves a drier plate than regular stews.
Jambalaya
Another include-whatever-you-like rice dish that typically involves a combination of seafood and sausage, irresistible to the taste buds of NOLA locals and visitors alike.
Po-Boys
Incredibly thick sandwiches that satisfy anyone’s hunger. Multiple layers of salami, gravy, or seafood packed in a sliced French or Italian baguette.
Beignets
Deep-fried dough in puffy squares with different fillings and some powdered sugar on top. Perfectly complimentary to a hot cup of coffee.
Bananas Foster
Rum-soaked bananas over vanilla ice-cream. And when you get it, it lights on fire! Hot and icy together as the perfect ending to a dreamy meal!
And to accompany all these delicious tastes, choose from a group traditional NOLA drinks! Some were invented right here in New Orleans, and others are variations on old time favorites. Among all these different drinks you are sure to find one (or more!) that will satisfy your tastes on any given evening. Enjoy!
