Restaurants
Go on an adventure to restaurants in other neighborhoods or walk from the Chimes to twenty near-by locations. In New Orleans, we are “always talking about three things: where we ate, what we ate, and where we’re going to eat next.” We recommend to you places that we enjoy ourselves, however, there are far too many to list all of them. Browse the restaurant menus below to see what dishes appeal to your taste. Variety is on display with price ranges to fit every budget.
