About this activity

Starting in the heart of the French Quarter, we will eat, talk and walk our way through our city's most historic neighborhood while we learn about the cultural influences that created our distinctive Creole cuisine. As we visit select restaurants and establishments, you will sample a variety of New Orleans' most iconic dishes such as Seafood Gumbo, Shrimp Remoulade, Turtle Soup, and Red Beans and Rice while learning their origins. Hear about the strong Sicilian influence too while enjoying a sample of a Muffuletta Sandwich served with Cannoli and Gelato. Enjoy melt in your mouth Beef Brisket with Creole Horseradish Sauce that has been served at Tujague's for over 100 years! And when you're full, you can save your Praline from Leah's for an evening sweet treat. More than a food tour, this is the best of New Orleans' history and culinary history combined!

Nafe was an excellent guide showing us behind the scenes at several great restaurants, delicious samples of food, and interesting information. An all-round great experience well worth the time.

The tour is an excellent combination of eating local favorites and learning about the place they are prepared. The pace is easy but never dull. The tour guide made sure there were places to sit at each stop, something which is not always done. My wife and I are glad we took the tour.

Our guide, David Feldman, was a joy. He was informative, amusing and had obviously good links with the different establishments we visited. He promptly followed up the tour with an email containing a resume of the places visited and recipes of foods tasted. Excellent!
