Favorite Restaurants

One of my absolute favorite parts of any trip is food! Obviously, if you've been following my blog you know that our class went on a cuisine tour that allowed us to try out different New Orleans dishes. However, if you're like me you're probably wanting to know more about places to get some traditional American food. Pizza, chicken, burgers, and fries are some of my favorites that I simply can't go a whole week without having! 

First, let me tell you about my absolute most favorite restaurant I visited while in New Orleans, Mona Lisa. Yes, you read that right, the name of the restaurant is indeed Mona Lisa, like the infamous painting. I chose this restaurant mainly because it had pizza and was fairly cheap. I visited this place on one of the last days we were in the city and was running short on money, as is to be expected from any college student. Not only did this place exceed my expectations, it ended up being one of the best restaurants I've ever been to in my life! The pizza was absolutely amazing and probably better than anything I've ever even had in Chicago! The garlic bread was to die for and the restaurant itself was so unique and perfect! Like its name, everything inside was Mona Lisa inspired. The tables even had paper cloths and crayons to draw your own masterpiece right on the table! The walls were filled with different variations of Mona Lisa inspired drawings. If you ever visit New Orleans, I highly recommend this place! 

As for other restaurants I really enjoyed, Bunba Gump Shrimp is a must if you've never been to one! They have a wide variety of food from seafood, to steak, and even salads. If you're wanting to try a more New Orleans original restaurant, I would recommend visiting The Napoleon House. This restaurant has decent prices and also a good variety of New Orleans style food as well as American. For food lovers of all kind, New Orleans is certainly a place to visit as the variety of food and culture will not disappoint!
