Located in the Warehouse District of New Orleans, Mulate’s the Original Cajun Restaurant serves local favorites in a casual setting that’s perfect for families. There’s even a separate kids’ menu with everything from catfish bites to hamburgers.

Live music and dancing are hosted nightly, though the afternoon is a great (and quiet) time to visit.

Mulate’s (pronounced moo-lahts) is open 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. daily, with extended hours until 11 p.m. on Fridays and Saturdays. Reservations are available before 7 p.m.
