Camellia Grill - New Orleans, LA

For a real feast for all the senses away from the French Quarter take the St. Charles street car line to Camellia Grill. While there is no one signature dish, the Chef Special omelet is a real house specialty: bacon, ham, onion, Swiss and American cheeses and French fries all held together with lighter than air eggs whipped in a blender. You will find an eclectic mix of locals, tourists, and students from nearby Tulane University, just blocks away.
