The turquoise landmark does the most famous brunch in New Orleans, a strolling jazz trio, 25-cent martinis, and Creole cooking with old-world service.
Start with the turtle soup, work through a Creole main, and finish with the bread pudding souffle. Add a couple of the famous 25-cent lunch martinis if the mood's right.
Weekend brunch books out well ahead and there's a dress code, plan for it. Ask for a spot where the jazz trio passes through.
It's a few dollars, it's iconic, and it's the perfect sweet coda to any morning, go early or late to skip the longest lines.
