Relish in rich rewarding cuisine at Zoë, an award-winning culinary treat where southern cuisine meets W Hotels chic right in the W New Orleans. Priority reservations for W guests.

• You’ll fall in love with the contemporary Louisiana cuisine of Chef Roberto Bustillo, whose show-stoppers include the unique preparation of his top-quality, second-to-none seafood selection, table-side served gumbo, and – quite simply – the best pomme frites this side of France.
  
• W New Orleans second floor is wide open and overlooks the Living Room where you toast all things terrific with some vintage vino from Zoë’s premium wine list.

Overlooking the lush courtyard and illuminated pool of W New Orleans-French Quarter, the award-winning Bacco (of the famed Brennan family) is truly a feast for the senses. And the perfect place to rendezvous and get romantic.

• If the gothic arches, golden cherubs, Venetian chandeliers, and inscriptions of Italian poetry don't transport you, the menu certainly will. Bacco, consistently voted one of the best restaurants in the city, offers conte mporary Italian cuisine with a distinctive New Orleans flair. Savor crawfish ravioli, mussels steamed in sweet vermouth, and other artfully prepared delectables. Or make Bacchus proud by sampling from our vast collection of exquisite wines.
  
• Four separate rooms, means four different auras and atmospheres. All beautiful, sublime, and of course pretty and playful in their own unique ways.

Tilt your elbow at titillating Whiskey Blue, named one of the best bars in New Orleans by Gambit magazine. Part of a string of hip and trendy taverns created by Rande Gerber, Whiskey Blue is located right inside W New Orleans. What could be better?

Central Grocery is famous around the world for its wonderful muffuletta, which, as invented by Signor Luno Salvadore, could quite possibly be the best sandwich you ever have in your life.  Just imagine: a whole loaf of round Italian bread overflowing with Italian meats and cheeses, then topped with a rich olive salad. 

This crowded storefront just off the Mississippi River is really more like an old-time Italian deli than a restaurant. Shelves are piled high with pastas, canned mushrooms, sardines, tomato sauces and the like, but locals swear by the house specialty: plate-sized muffulettas. Don't look for tables here; diners sit on bar stools at long wooden countertops. If the crowds are too thick, consider taking your food to go and finding a bench along the river.

Wet your whistle at Pat O’Brien’s with a lovely libation donning an imposing name – the Hurricane. Mr. O’Brien’s fruit garnished treat first gained popularity when whiskey ran low during World War II. Rum was the replacement and led to this crazy concoction with quite a kick. 2 minutes walk from both W Hotels of New Orleans.

Buy your favorite vino by day, then imbibe select samples of it by night, as Sip Wine Market transforms into a wine tasting lounge, complete with a DJ, as soon as the sun subsides.

Fancy a spot of tea in the Big Easy? Do it in style at Windsor Court, right next door to the W New Orleans.  A New Orleans favorite, and one of the only spots in the city to experience a traditional tea tasting, Le Salon lets you lounge in grand British fashion with teas and champagne to sip and nibbles to nosh, including wonderful watercress and cucumber sandwiches.

For a few dollars more, caviar and smoked salmon canapés are an added treat.  But make sure to save room for the fragrant English currant and walnut scones that come served with flavored whipped cream, lemon curd, raspberry preserves, and clotted cream and the amazing array of delightful sweets such as chocolate dipped strawberries, chocolate truffles, tartlets and petit fours.
 

Since 1938, Mother’s on Poydras Street's "Restaurant Row," situated between a thriving waterfront and the courthouse, has served up perfect po’ boys, stuffed full of ham and “Debris” (gravy-drenched roast beef) that will make your knees buckle.

Everyone from longshoremen to newspapermen, attorneys to U.S. Marines, have indulged in the New Orleans original. Other Mother’s magical menu items include gumbo, jambalaya and bread pudding. Mother’s, is W New Orleans neighbor across the street, today.
