we’ve boiled it down to two restaurants that are in our budget: Cochon butcher and Napoleon house. this is our one dinner for the trip. my daughter wants to know which one is more “fancy”? she would like to dress up for her birthday dinner.
the family and I will be in NOLA for two night this month. it’s my 10yo’s birthday trip. she wants a “fancy meal,” which to her usually means having a table cloth. she was impressed by the atmosphere at Cheesecake Factory. If I’m going to spend a little money here I’d love to having something good while in town. she likes veggies, pasta, and most proteins. we aren’t looking for a lot of friend food and would prefer no more than $25 per plate. Outside of the French quarter is fine (if not preferable). any recommendations?
