New Orleans: French Quarter Guided Walk & 5 Course Lunch｜United States

Meet your guide and take a short, easy stroll through the French Quarter, just far enough to work up an appetite. Then, settle into a beautifully air-conditioned dining room for a leisurely luncheon built around the dishes that make New Orleans legendary.

Start with a cup of rich, roux-based Gumbo Ya Ya and learn all about it.

For your next courses, enjoy some of the classics like Shrimp Remoulade, Char-grilled Oysters and Catfish Poboy, the kind of comfort food that took generations of grandmothers to perfect.

Finish with a dessert that closes things out the way only New Orleans can: sweet, a little indulgent, and entirely unforgettable Bananas Foster Bread Pudding. Sip on beverages throughout the meal as your guide shares the stories behind every dish, why gumbo starts with a roux, how Creole cooking differs from Cajun, why New Orleanians will debate red beans vs. white beans until the day they die (with love, always with love) and the love story featured at Creole Cookery with a little bit of ghostly highlights .

Enjoy a small-group experience with no more than 12 guests, so this never feels like a tour. It feels like a table. Questions get answered, seconds get offered, and everyone leaves as friends.
