In New Orleans, we live to eat; it’s part of who we are. The culinary industry is a cornerstone of the city’s identity and should be embraced by locals, as they play a vital role in supporting our restaurants, the culinary talent behind them and celebrating the way of life for which New Orleans is widely known.

The Louisiana Restaurant Association’s (LRA) Greater New Orleans Chapter is excited to announce that its We Live to Eat Restaurant Week will be held September 9-15, 2013.

During this weeklong celebration of New Orleans cuisine, participating restaurants in the New Orleans metro area will offer special prix fixe menus. Restaurants will offer a two-course lunch for under $20 and a three-course dinner for under $35.

Participating restaurants range from fine-dining establishments to neighborhood favorites. Discover new places and enjoy old favorites! To check out the restaurant list and menus, visit www.WeLivetoEatNola.com. Make your reservations early, seats fill fast.
