Nothing goes better with romance than food, so I submit here my picks for the most romantic restaurants in New Orleans, choosing those that best set the scene for an intimate rendezvous. And don't forget the flowers. A couple of the restaurants listed here are new, but most have been around for quite a while. It's not necessary to stay home with a Lean Cuisine and a saccharine-sweet Christmas special on the tube. There's more stimulating entertainment out there, and solitary diners can have their share, eating a good meal in a good restaurant.
Some restaurants go out of their way to be sensitive to the plight of the lone customer.
There are also several decent restaurants, happily, with food bars, where service is geared to singles and anyone can feel comfortable eating alone. So don't stay home with a TV dinner when you really feel like treating yourself to a good meal out. Here are ten local places you might like to try. Go back to the Mardi Gras page.
