Coming into town for the NC game and looking for good recommendations for breakfast, lunch, and dinner in this area. Thanks!

The thread below has some suggestions, but it's very late to be choosy, particularly if you limit yourself to that area.

Highly recommend you venture out other than staying just in the FQ. But if that’s what you have to do:

Breakfast is where you can wait more than an hour to get a table. Download the Yelp app on your smartphone. There are several places you can add yourself to the waitlist before you go. One such place is the Ruby Slipper that serves breakfast. It’s not the finest breakfast in the city, but there are 3 of them within walking distance of the area you mentioned. Go to the app and get in line while you brush your teeth.

Don’t fall for the Acme Oyster house hype. Felix’s across the street will serve you the same stuff, but quicker.

If it’s not traditional Louisiana fare you want, check out Monolito. Great little Cuban joint with a nice drink menu. Impeccable service.

For dinner go to Open Table and start looking for anywhere that has availability. There are some fantastic places that are a short Uber ride away outside the quarter. Brightsen’s is on my list to try.

Meaux Bar for dinner. It’s off the beaten path but still in the quarter. It won’t be crowded and will be fantastic.

New place called Laurel Oak just opened in the Magnolia Hotel (Gravier/Camp). Executive chef is a Houma baw and it’s getting some solid reviews. Hoping to check it out soon.

Mr B's. If it's busy, sit in the bar area.

Skip breakfast. Waits are always a pain and you waste so much time.

If you want a reliable sample of New Orleans in the quarter.

Trolley Stop for breakfast.

Central Grocery or Mothers for lunch.

Galatoire's for dinner.
