We'll mostly be walking and staying around the French Quarter

Get out of the FQ as much as you can would be my rec. You'll eat at better places and have better experiences. IMO.

If you MUST eat in the FQ there are some relatively decent lunch spots. Killer Poboys and Johnny's Poboys are both ok.

You've already gotten a bunch of good suggestions for fancier fare outside of the FQ.

We'll be there Sunday and Monday the 29th and 30th all day. Arriving late on the 28th.

Keep in mind that this is the first weekend of Jazz Fest. Make your reservations as early as possible.

It would be helpful to know your dinner plans so folks don't suggest the same places or same type of food.

For Cajun based food in the FQ, you may want to consider K-Paul's for Monday dinner. That's the only option for you since it's not open for lunch on the days you're there and not open at all on Sundays.

Not in the FQ, but just outside off Poydras is Bon Ton for crawfish bisque and etouffee if you're looking for that.

You could go to Remoulaude which is the casual side restaurant to Arnaud's in the FQ.

A jazz brunch on Sunday if you can get in somewhere would be a lot of fun for your guest. In the FQ, you could try Brennan's, Arnaud's or Muriel's. Again, I suggest Commander's and taking a streetcar ride to get there. You could take the streetcar back or Uber for a quicker trip or vice versa.

For Monday night, a dinner at Brigtsen's would fit into the food desires you have. Not in the FQ, but you can Uber there.

Not sure why you want to stay in the FQ most of the time.
