About
If you want a casual Cajun meal and a front-row seat for French Quarter street life, this place works. Pere Antoine Restaurant sits on Royal at St. Ann, one block off Bourbon Street. The oversized windows open the dining room to the sidewalk, making people watching part of the experience. The menu covers Cajun-Creole classics like gumbo, jambalaya, red beans and rice, and bread pudding. It's also a full bar with outdoor seating and happy hour.
The crowd is mixed gay and straight, fitting a neighborhood that's both tourist-heavy and gay-friendly. Hours run 8am to 9pm most days, with a 10pm close on Friday and Saturday. Reservations are accepted. The rating sits at a middling 3 stars from over 1100 Yelp reviews, so expectations should be moderate. A block north, Cafe du Monde is open late for beignets if you want something sweet after dinner.
Pere Antoine Restaurant is in the French Quarter, near St. Anne Street. It's a block from Bourbon Street, so it's close to gay nightlife yet quieter for dining.

“Good Food and Service”
Got the half and half platter. The food was excellent. Service was quick and attentive, and my pink lemonade was always refilled.

“Usually our first meal when we visit New Orleans”
We always make a point to eat at Pere Antoine's for our first meal when we come to New Orleans, knowing right away we'll get our first taste of the delicious food the city is known for. I always order the sampler platter, which includes gumbo, red beans and rice, Creole shrimp, jambalaya, and bread pudding for dessert. It's absolutely fantastic—I get full just thinking about it. You should definitely try it. The staff was really friendly too.
