Goomba:

I live in New Orleans. There are an amazing number of good restaurants in this
city. I haven't been to anywhere near all of the restaurants I'd like to try. Of
the higher end restaurants I've tried my favorites were Commander's Palace,
Bayona, Clancy's, Brigtsen's, and Galatoire's. All have excellent food. There
are also a lot of neighborhood places which have very good food.

Probably the best place to get information on local restaurants is the New
Orleans FoodFest site.

This is the food forum:
http://phorums.neworleans.com/foodfest/index.php

It's a very active board with mostly locals talking about restaurants, etc.

This is the restaurant guide:
http://foodfest.neworleans.com/rest.php

The guide has information and reviews of most of the restaurants in town.

Oh, someone else mentioned Zachary's. It's gone. Margaux's is the name of the
restaurant in Zachary's former location.

Feel free to email me directly if you have any questions.

Thanks,
