About French Quarter Eats
Our Story
French Quarter Eats was founded in 2017 with a simple yet powerful mission: to bring the vibrant culinary scene of New Orleans’ historic French Quarter directly to your digital table. We are dedicated to becoming your ultimate guide to the city’s most beloved dining experiences, from iconic restaurants to hidden gems.
Our journey began as a passion project for two food enthusiasts who wanted to share their love for the unique and diverse cuisine of the French Quarter. Over the years, we’ve grown into a trusted online resource, meticulously curating articles, reviews, and recommendations to satisfy every taste bud and appetite.
Milestones and Achievements:
- 2018: Launched our first mobile app, making it easier for users to explore and book dining experiences.
- 2019: Collaborated with local chefs to create a series of virtual cooking classes, offering readers a unique insight into the hearts of New Orleans’ culinary artists.
- 2020: Expanded our team and introduced a user-friendly rating system, allowing diners to contribute their own experiences and knowledge.
- 2021: Achieved over 500,000 page views, solidifying our position as the go-to online destination for French Quarter foodies.
Our Purpose and Values
Purpose: To celebrate and share the rich culinary heritage of New Orleans, making it accessible to locals and visitors alike, and fostering a community of engaged food enthusiasts.
Core Values:
- Authenticity: We strive to represent the true essence of French Quarter dining, showcasing its diverse cultures and unique flavors.

- Community: We aim to build a virtual community where food lovers can connect, share stories, and discover new experiences.
Filling the Information Gap
The internet is brimming with travel blogs and restaurant guides, but we noticed a distinct gap in comprehensive, unbiased coverage of New Orleans’ culinary scene, especially focused on the French Quarter. Our research revealed that while many sites offered superficial reviews or outdated information, there was a lack of deep dives into the quarter’s diverse dining culture. French Quarter Eats was born to fill this void.
Unbiased and Reliable Information
We are committed to providing an unbiased review of each dining establishment we feature. Our writers and reviewers dine anonymously and base their assessments on multiple visits, ensuring accuracy over time. We encourage readers to explore different restaurants and form their own opinions, thereby enriching the overall dining experience in the French Quarter.
Who We Serve
Our target audience includes both locals who are curious about exploring hidden gems within their own city and tourists visiting New Orleans who seek authentic culinary adventures. Whether you’re a food enthusiast, a family planning a dinner out, or a couple celebrating a special occasion, French Quarter Eats is here to guide and inspire your dining choices.
