Plan a night to remember with your loved one in New Orleans. You'll find everything from the perfect restaurant to a dinner cruise and so much more. TravelSkoot helps you plan for a romantic time in New Orleans.
This bistro with a tropical feel has long been a local favorite. Named for a Caribbean country with a centuries-long history of French rule, Martinique's food represents some of the smartest cross-cultural cooking you'll find in the area. Escargots, crabmeat, duck confit — each benefits from the combination of French techniques and island flavors. If the weather permits, sit in the jasmine-scented courtyard — with the gentle trickle of the fountain at its center, the whole scene suggests France spilling into the Caribbean.
