MANAGING EDITOR Jennifer McKee

ew Orleans is a food destination, one of the nation’s best. It’s been said before: Here, we don’t eat to live; we live to eat. It’s true—as is the fact that locals tend to discuss their next meal during the course of the current one. If there is a population that eats better and with more passion than the Crescent City, it has yet to surface.

Once considered a “one-menu” town, today New Orleans is anything but.

French, Cajun, Creole, Vietnamese, Mexican, Italian, Caribbean, Southern; you’ll find it all and then some. Seafood, steaks, gumbo, po’boys, veggie, vegan, small plates, big plates; the city’s restaurants cater to every appetite.

Upscale, casual, high-end, low-key; it depends on your mood.

Where to begin? Right this way…your table is waiting.

CREOLE

STEAMBOAT NATCHEZ Dine aboard the last authentic Steamboat on the Mississippi River. Choose the Daytime Harbor Jazz cruise and experience a unique view of our City and treat your taste buds to casual Creole dishes. Nighttime on the River is enthralling! Step back in time as you tap your toes to New Orleans Swing Jazz and enjoy a diverse Southern Dinner Buffet. Our Sunday Brunch wraps all this together for family and friends to enjoy. On every cruise our talented “mixologists” will instill the tastes and soul of the South in everyone.

We are proud to serve primarily Louisiana and domestic seafood items.

Some menu items may, at times, contain imported crawfish and fish.
