Overview

Combining the history of Louisiana cuisine and New Orleans-style cocktails, this event is a feast for the senses!  Along with your guide you will visit up 6 locations: award-winning seafood restaurants, James Beard Award-nominated craft cocktail lounges, Creole restaurants, artisanal candy stores and more. Once inside you’ll sample up to 8 or more different dishes that represent the modern expressions of our culinary heritage: classic dishes like gumbo, and muffulettas, but also new interpretations like savory fried plantains and curried pork skins! We'll also enjoy 4 full-sized cocktails like the refreshing Pimm's Cup, the rum-heavy Hurricane, the classic Daiquiri and more! This 4-hour gastronomic odyssey is our way of showing you where we like to go now, and what we like to eat and drink once we're there. With so many dining and drinking options in New Orleans, why not try up to 6 different places in one fell swoop?! Note: all venues subject to change based on availability.

Itinerary

  • Bourbon Street

    The walking tour begins inside the award-winning Red Fish Grill in the French Quarter neighborhood of New Orleans. You will begin with Alligator Sausage & Seafood Gumbo. We also kick the party off with our first cocktail here: the Cat 5 Hurricane. This part of the tour focuses historically on the pre-colonial and colonial period of Louisiana history, and usually lasts about 35 minutes.

    35 minutes

  • Pepper Palace

    Moving four blocks down you will enter Pepper Palace, where we begin to discuss the Cajun influence, and sample an unlimited variety of hot sauces, BBQ sauces, Buffalo Wings sauces, salsas, dry rubs and more. Customers on the tour will also receive a free bottle of Louisiana-style hot sauce.

    15 minutes

  • Royal Street

    From there you move 4 blocks up to Leah’s Pralines: a 3rd generation family-owned candy store. You will sample traditional pralines and their unique Bacon Pecan Brittle.

    15 minutes

  • French Quarter

    The next stop is two blocks away and known as the Napoleon House, a legendary New Orleans restaurant in an 18th century building with a beautiful courtyard. You will experience their unique Muffuletta sandwich, chicken & andouille sausage jambalaya, and their iconic Pimm's Cup cocktail, a drink introduced to the Americas by the Napoleon House in the 1940's.

    20 minutes

  • Jackson Square

    Three more blocks over and you will arrive at the award-winning Dickie Brennan’s Tableau to sip your next cocktail: the refreshing French 75, a combo of fresh lemon, brandy and bubbles.

    30 minutes

  • Decatur Street

    From there you pass through famous Jackson Square towards Café du Monde, then along the French Market area, ultimately landing at the James Beard Award-nominated Cane & Table. With a focus on rustic colonial cuisine and playful rum drinks, you will sample plantains and curry pork skins, and a classic daiquiri of Caribbean white rum, fresh lime and sugar.

The best food tour

Published on Jan, 2025

This tour was fantastic with so much rich history, delicious food, and strong drinks. I would recommend for anyone visiting NOLA. The highlight was our tour guide, Ben, who was welcoming, a great storyteller, and a lot of fun. Thanks, Ben!!

Fabulous!

Published on Jan, 2025

This was a good tour that introduced us to some drinks and food from the New Orleans area. The food choices were very tasty and some of the items were something we would not have tried otherwise. The drink selections were very good. The tour guide was laid back and easy going. He was great. The history behind each item was interesting as well as some of the information about the area. Overall it was a great choice and we would highly recommend it.

Great day of food and cocktails in the Big Easy!

Published on Jan, 2025

We had an amazing afternoon with Mike who was both entertaining and knowledgeable. He went above and beyond to make sure we were all having a great time. The food was also delicious and we enjoyed all the cocktails!
