Crab Cakes, Bourbon House, French Quarter, New Orleans
You probably don’t know this, but I love crab cakes. Louisiana has fabulous crab cakes, so I try to order them whenever I can while visiting. So far of the trips I’ve been down there, my most memorable crabcakes have been:
- Red Fish Grill where I had some delicious Louisiana blue crabmeat cakes
- Mr. B’s Bistro - A pan sauteed jumbo lump crabcake served with our classic ravigote sauce
- Bourbon House - deviled crab cakes served with creole ravigote and marinated crab claws (pictured above)
Mr. B’s and Bourbon House are both part of the Brennan’s empire. I wonder if that’s why they both serve their crabcakes with ravigote. In any case, the New Orleans is not stingy with the crabmeat like other places I’ve been where the crabcake is mostly cake and not crab. YUM!

As much as you like crab cakes, you missed the best dish at Mr. B’s, their BBQ shrimp. Best shrimp on earth.

The bartender at Mr. B’s recommended that dish, but I didn’t have it. Next time…!
