Tips from the community
Bananas Foster: There are plenty of places to try bananas foster in the city, but Brennan’s is the original. For over 100 years they have been flaming this tableside and serving it a la mode. The resulting dessert is composed of fresh flambeed bananas with notes of cinnamon, brown sugar, and rum.

This place is definitely a tourist hot-spot but locals still flock for their seasonally-inspired menu of classic Creole fare. And you can’t miss the Bananas Foster, because it was invented here!
