Wife and I are staying in the French Quarter for our 5yr anniversary this weekend. There are so many places we haven't tried so I figure a good way to try a variety of different restaurants is just to go around and order a few small plates to share and drinks from each place rather than committing to just one or two places for a huge meal. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated.

Meril, Peche

Underrated place where you can also catch some entertainment and probably a pretty short walk from where you're staying is Three Muses

Off the beaten path date places you should consider:
Bisto Daisy
Brigtsen's
Clancy's
Upperline
Bachanal

This board is obsessed with Peche, I guess the food is good but it's always packed and you will most likely be sat at a spot within inches from the next table.

I would not consider any of these places "small plate" places.

Bouligny Tavern
Bachannal
Effervescence
Peche
Cochon
Cane & Table

Are the type of places I would think of first.

I had a buddy intown for a conference a couple of weeks ago, we started off about 1:00 and ended around midnight.

Peche



Then we went to Butcher



Then off to Dominica



Took a break from eating and stuck to drinking for a couple of hours.

Felix's



and then had a nightcap at Mimi's (no photos) but had the lamb lollipops and something else.

Everything was excellent.

I really enjoyed Meril. It's not really fancy or "upscale". Very good small plates and cocktails.

In the round dish? It was a smoked drum with potatoes and something else in it. It was pretty good but not incredible

It was some type of tuna dish. I liked it better than the drum, but I am a big tuna fan.

Got the $61 whole redfish there last night, to share. It’s was damn good. The beef tartare and fish sticks were good too.
