Brennan's

"Located at 417 Royal Street [in New Orleans, Louisiana] in the heart of the French Quarter, Brennan's Restaurant continues to receive culinary accolades from countless food critics, national publications and visitors around the world." That comes from their website http://www.brennansneworleans.com/ [www.brennansneworleans.com], and says it better than l can. The website suggest whatever you do, order for dessert the Bananas Foster (for breakfast or dinner). They are definately correct, as that is the best l have ever tasted. l love it a lot. The TROUT AMANDINE, TROUT PECAN, or the CHICKEN ESPLANADE is very good. l also like the SHRIMP SAMANTHA WITH ANDOUILLE or the CHICKEN LAZONE. l will always be a patron of this restaurant since it's in the heart of the French Quarter and since the food is out of this world. Even the wait staff is great. more

My dad introduced me to breakfast at Brennan's when I was 16. It was amazing the detail and concern the staff has for their diners. I love going in here whenever we visit New Orleans because it's always a grand affair. I always start with the Southern Baked Apple in cream, which has never been anything but great. The next course, usually eggs, is a toss up. Eggs Benedict is absolutely perfection here, but there is another dish whose name escapes me. It has a hunter's sauce and mushrooms and tomatoes with egg in puff pastry. I've had that every time but once, and have never been disappointed. Last course, dessert (for breakfast no less!) is bananas foster, made directly tableside. It's just so nice to sit back and be taken care of and enjoy breakfast at your own pace. Try the Mr. Funk of New Orleans drink, it will definitely go well with whatever you order. You can't miss this if you go to New Orleans, it's the perfect kick off OR top off to your trip. more
