Muriel's Restaurant

Muriel's Restaurant in Jackson Square should come with a warning label.  It should read "highly addictive".  This is not only one of the best restaurants in New Orleans, but is a strong contender for the best food in the country!

Boasting Creole cuisine that will literally befriend the taste buds, this is one dining establishment that begs to be frequented on every trip to New Orleans.  With several unique dining areas to choose from, each and every visit will truly be a new adventure.

I believe that one of the secrets of this wonderful establishment is in the ingredients. The catfish is so fresh that it nearly inspires one to search for a fishing line.  Special touches seem to embrace every dish, transforming what might be an ordinary meal into something especially extraordinary.  No... "ordinary" is not a word that could ever be a description for Muriel's Restaurant.

Lunch, Dinner, and a Sunday Jazz Brunch are offered.  A special pre-theatre menu is also available.  You may access the menus, to better prepare for the dining extravaganza of your choice.

Muriel's also offers several areas available for meetings, banquets, and special occasions.  I can not picture a more beautiful venue for a reception! 

Do not say farewell without visiting the beautiful courtyard bar, or taking a perfectly crafted cocktail up to the Seance room, where the ghost of Antoine may join you for a libation or two.
