Saint Lawrence

The atmosphere is fantastic, especially as my first stop in NOLA for the first time. Chip (my server) was hilarious and attentive, with great recommendations on the food. The gulf fish is easily the best seafood dinner I've ever had, and the Irish local stout was delicious. Definitely recommend this place!

There are a lot of bars that are open late in the French Quarter, but if you are looking for more than bar food, you should head to Saint Lawrence. It is open until 2am and has a great menu with local food as well as a full bar for well made classic drinks. This is a great place to grab a Vieux Carré or PIMM’s cup and satisfy your late night appetite.

This was easily one of my favourite bars that we visited in New Orleans. It’s a little off the main drag in the French Quarter so a little quieter and less touristy. The decor was very cool and guy working at the bar was incredibly friendly and quick to come over with glasses of ice water to take our orders. We had beer, a crazy 32oz cup of frozen Pimm’s (that lasted me about an hour! This is so different to how we drink Pimm’s in England but I think it’s an absolute stroke of genius), and an absolutely gargantuan portion of tasty onion rings and artichoke dip with tortillas. We managed to eat all the onion rings with some effort (and, let’s face it, greed!), but could only manage some of the tortillas with the dip; the portion sizes seem more likely intended for large groups of people. They were playing cool music and the bar had such a nice relaxed atmosphere that we ended up hanging out for a couple of rounds of beer.

Very happy that we stopped in on a recommendation from a bartender (sorry I don't know her name) from Ryan's Pub. The service was quick (we sat at bar). Mandy, our bartender, was great when asked what I should choose. She didn't steer me wrong. Hubby had a bbq, bacon burger. Said it was great. A little pricey, but what isn't in Nola. I had the crab BLT sandwich.

If you are looking for a nice quiet quaint place just a few blocks off of Bourbon Street that has a delicious food and drinks look no further. Saint Lawrence has a full bar and meal specials. I sampled the fried catfish plate and fried chicken plate, both were excellent. The mustard greens were the best I have found in the south! Stop by Saint Lawrence its worth a few more steps for the great food.
