The city of New Orleans is certainly a culinary experience, known for hearty classics such as savory jambalaya, mouth-watering po' boy sandwiches and decadent desserts such as Bananas Foster. Meeting planners can take advantage of such culinary delights by hosting their New Orleans event in one of several city restaurants. Consider the following two standout venues:

Broussard’s

Located in the French Quarter, Broussard’s offers a great atmosphere plus much more. As one of the most historic restaurants in the city, its decor of elaborate wall coverings, ornate chandeliers and gleaming dark woods is enough to transport guests back to New Orleans' golden era.

With size for 20 to 300 guests, its assorted private rooms feature elegant French doors that open out to the spacious, well-manicured courtyard, which is also available for events of up to 200 people. Year in and year out, this courtyard is rated one of the best in the city.

Just as its facilities can suit any meeting, its well-planned event menus will suit any taste. Event attendees dine on anything from mini muffalatta wraps of Genoa salami, smoked ham and provolone to Louisiana crawfish cakes with roasted shallot tartar sauce.

Dickie Brennan’s Steakhouse

Dickie Brennan’s Steakhouse has received many awards since opening, including being named one of the Best New Restaurants in America by Esquire magazine. For event planners looking to give their attendees a taste of authentic New Orleans cuisine, this city institution does not disappoint.

The steakhouse's six event rooms are ideal for intimate dinners and private parties. Each tastefully decorated and dripping with Old World luxury, the private rooms can accommodate up to 65 guests and are equipped with state-of-the-art audio-visual equipment. If you need more space, the entire restaurant is capable of comfortably seating 300 guests.
