Hanging out in the French Quarter is like binge-watching every season of Below Deck: it’s fun while you’re doing it, but once you’re done, you’re glad you escaped with your sense of reality intact. But if you look beyond the fake voodoo shops, kitschy galleries, and everything on Bourbon Street, you’ll find some of the city’s best (and most classic) restaurants and bars. Check out our favorite spots in the French Quarter, and whatever you do, go easy on the hurricanes.
