• Cornet Restaurant

Experience the local Flavor and Legendary Taste at The Cornet Restaurant, home of the largest balcony on Bourbon Street!

Located on the corner of Bourbon and St. Peters streets in the heart of the French Quarter, Cornet serves authentic Cajun and Creole cuisine inspired by the cradle of Jazz. The restaurant was founded by the family who gave Louis Armstrong his first horn, a cornet. The menu has been designed to celebrate the sounds and flavors of New Orleans.

Get your Taste buds ready for delicious Alligator and Blackened Catfish. You may want to purchase a special drink for this Balcony experience!
• The Old Coffee Pot

Classic Cajun and Creole cuisine has been the calling card here since 1894. We’ll try the Shrimp and Crab cake that Guy Fieri featured on Diners, Drive-ins and Dives. Additionally, Chef Dustin has a serving of Miss Pearl's Famous bread pudding that has been made the same way for 50 years!!! A real Tastebud delight!

Nestled in the historic French Quarter, the Creole pralines and hand-dipped chocolates here are made fresh daily with recipes that date back to the 18th century.
