Brennans is perhaps my favorite restaurant in the world. Although a bit pricey, you will certainly not forget your meal here. Known for their "Breakfast at Brennans" they serve a wonderful multi-course full traditional breakfast that is unforgettable, but their dinners are what I keep coming back for. The fixed price dinner runs at least $37 (more if you choose certain soups or desserts) but the money is definitely well spent. You can't visit Brennans without trying the Bananas Foster which was invented here is fixed at your table. It's a rich blend of bananas, banana liqueur, rum, brown sugar and cinnamon served over vanilla ice cream and is simply amazing. The service is first rate and you will not be disappointed. Brennans is also world famous for their wine cellar which annually ranks among the best in the world in Wine Spectator's wine rankings.
Keep an eye out for seasonal specials like their traditional French Christmas 5 course meal. I had the opportunity to try this myself last December and it was wonderful! The meal started with Brennan's famous gumbo and then continued with Eggs Husarde followed by a salad and then the main course, grilled salmon in a creole mustard sauce, all to be finished with the Bannanas Foster. Combine this with a glass of egg nog and it made for a spectacular meal (but I've never had a bad meal here!!!)
Visit Brennans, you won't regret it!

DO NOT LEAVE NEW ORLEANS WITHOUT HAVING THE BANANAS FOSTER. This is the best jazz brunch in New Orleans. The food is terrific. The service is incredible. No matter if you are having breakfast, lunch or dinner, DO NOT LEAVE NEW ORLEANS WITHOUT HAVING THE BANANAS FOSTER.
