In the vast world of New Orleans cuisine, there’s no question that seafood reigns supreme. But if you’ve had your fill of oysters, crabs, crawfish, and shrimp, there are also plenty of great restaurants in the city with delicious non-seafood dishes. Here are a few you should try out.
New Orleans Social House
New Orleans Social House, or NOSH, is a great place to grab a light bite and a cocktail on Tchoupitoulas. Non-seafood options on the menu include a cheese and charcuterie board, cheeseburger sliders, truffled mac and cheese, and your choice of pepperoni or wild mushroom flatbread. Additionally, every Thursday is “Caliente Night,” when you can stop by for a unique tequila cocktail and $2 tacos.
Dat Dog
For a casual and quirky non-seafood experience, stop by Dat Dog and taste what this New Orleans hot dog legend is all about. With locations on Freret, Magazine, and Frenchman Street, Dat Dog serves up an enormous variety of options that you can choose from to create your dream hot dog. Dog options include bratwurst, kielbasa, alligator, and several vegan versions, and there are more than two dozen toppings to mix and match, from classics like mustard and sweet relish to oddballs like blackberry sauce and guacamole.
Napoleon House
A 200-year-old French Quarter landmark, Napoleon House’s name comes from the fact that the Big Easy’s mayor once offered the building as a refuge to Napoleon in 1821. Napoleon never made it, but the building has survived and now serves up classic cocktails and a diverse menu of sandwiches, salads, and New Orleans favorites. We recommend sipping on one of their signature Pimm’s Cup cocktails while enjoying a muffuletta, a roast beef po’boy, or one of their many deli sandwiches.
