Descriptions

Irene's is somewhat off the regular tourist dining path, and locals would probably prefer to keep it that way, even though they often have to wait upwards of 90 minutes for a table. (A friend of ours was their third customer post-Katrina, and the sight of the place nearly empty was shocking to him!) To many, the French Provincial/Italian food is worth the wait, and you may agree.

Once you enter, you will find a dark, noisy, cluttered tavern, with friendly waiters who seem delighted you came. We were thrilled by soft-shell-crab pasta, an entirely successful Italian/New Orleans hybrid consisting of a whole fried crustacean atop a bed of pasta with a cream sauce of garlic, crawfish, tomatoes, and wads of basil leaves. The panned oysters and grilled shrimp appetizer can be magnificent, and don't forget pollo rosemarino -- five pieces of chicken marinated, partly cooked, marinated again, and then cooked a final time

Cozy, romantic Quarter spot packs in adoring locals with a menu of Italian influences paired with hints of southern France.
