Places to eat in NOLA.

The best food I’ve ever had is in New Orleans. They literally cook with love. Every single restaurant I ate at had delicious food. 10 out of 10.

I traveled there just to eat. One restaurant that was a big reason I wanted to go was Dakar Nola. It was closed for the entire 3 days I was there, and I was so sad… but the other restaurants made up for it.

Some restaurants to check out are:

Sun Chong – I had the gumbo dumplings and the seafood ramen. Sooo delicious, 10 out of 10.

Mambo Nola & Olde Nola Cookery – I believe they are owned by the same company. The menus were very similar. The customer service was amazing, and the food was great. 10 out of 10. At Mambo, I had the Taste of New Orleans (chicken and sausage gumbo, crawfish étouffée, red beans and rice with smoked sausage).

Scrambled Nola – If you want to have a nice breakfast or brunch, this is the place to go. 10 out of 10.
