Gallier's Restaurant & Oyster Bar

Okay this place was awesome! We walked past it 6 or 7 times and it looked so dingy from the outside that we wrote it off, but then we were running late and figured we might as well have a quick bite before heading to the airport and literally everything was SO good! We tried both the house and caesar salads, the crab cake, creole oysters, jambalaya, red beans & rice, and the cheesecake. The cheesecake was exceptional!

Mouthwatering oysters! We all know New Orleans is famous for seafood dishes so saying that this restaurant has the best tasting oysters i have ever had in all of my travels within the US is an understatement! I can eat it all day long. Walk it off around French Quarter or Bourbon Street and then come back to eat again. It is really really good! We also got the salmon and the soft crab entrees and they are in perfection! The proximity of the location to Canal Street and other big tourist spots in New Orleans is a bonus. Be sure to check out this place when you are in NOLA!

It's hard to settle on a restaurant near Bourbon Street because there are so many choices. But, bases on the time of day (around 3) and our preference for seafood, we decided on Galliers. First of all, the staff was amazing. So friendly and down to earth! I felt that we were well taken care of. The food? Bomb! I wasn't mad at our choice at all. I was happy that this was the place for our first restaurant visit this trip to New Orleans.
