IGOR’S
2133 St. Charles Ave. 522-2145
The Igor Burger is a half-pound sirloin patty charbroiled and served with barbecue or Cajun-style sauce and steak fries. Every Monday, the kitchen dishes up honey-baked ham slow cooked with red beans and rice (hint: it’s free at 7 p.m.). Did we mention the laundromat and game rooms complete with pool tables and darts? No reservations. Open 24 hours. Credit cards. $
IGOR’S BUDDHA BELLY BURGER BAR
4437 Magazine St. 891-6105
The path to enlightenment begins with a load of laundry in back and ends with a juicy burger and tap brew at the bar of this popular Uptown hangout. The Breakaway steak sandwich is another heightened culinary experience: shaved steak sauteed in red wine with onions, mushrooms and peppers on a toasted bun with fries, baked potato or pasta salad. No reservations. Breakfast, lunch, dinner and late-night daily. Credit cards. $
IGOR’S CHECK POINT CHARLIE
501 Esplanade Ave. 949-7012
Which comes first, the laundry, the band or the snack? It’s a tough call at this laundromat, music club and restaurant and on the edge of the French Quarter. Here, the Charlie Burger is a half-pound of charbroiled sirloin served with your choice of sauce. There are free red beans and rice at 7 p.m. on laundry day (Monday), and you’ll never be asked for a cover charge. No reservations. Open 24 hours. Credit cards. $
IGOR’S GARLIC CLOVE
2137 St. Charles Ave. 522-6602
Watch the streetcar pass Euro-style as you sip wine at one of the Garlic Clove’s sidewalk tables. While you’re at it, consider the frutti di mare, a gracious pan of fresh seafood served on a bed of pasta or rice with tomato basil, garlic white wine or marinara sauce. Or perhaps you’ll choose the filet St. Charles with a tomato-basil cognac sauce. No reservations. Lunch and dinner daily. Credit cards. $
IMPASTATO’S
3400 16th St., Metairie 455-1545
Impastato’s luxury van will pick up parties of four or more from hotels or homes at no extra charge. Top that. After the cush drive, cash in on the five-course dinners for $25 per person, including items like crab fingers, homemade fettuccine and a romaine salad. Pecan-smoked filet mignon, fresh Maine lobster and rack of lamb all take top entree billing. Reservations recommended. Dinner Tuesday through Saturday. Credit cards and checks. $$
INDIA PALACE
3322 N. Turnbull Ave., Metairie 889-2436
www.indiapalacerestaurant.com
While India Palace offers a lunch buffet during the week, champagne brunch on the weekends and a wide array of Indian dishes every evening, make a point of stopping in on Thursday or Sunday night for unusual south Indian specialties, like uttappam. The base made with rice and lentil batter is similar to a pancake, and it’s topped with chopped onions, tomatoes, and jalapenos. Delivery available. Reservations recommended. Lunch and dinner Wednesday through Monday, brunch weekends. Credit cards and checks. $$
INDIGO
2285 Bayou Road 947-0123
Classifying his unique approach as "new European," Chef-owner Randy Lewis incorporates a number of different styles into Louisiana products. Try the Arborio crusted oysters Rockefeller for a new spin on a classic. Romesco powder dusted sea bass is a popular choice for an entree, and the Jean Georges molten chocolate cake completes any meal in style. Reservations recommended. Dinner Tuesday through Saturday. Credit cards. $$
IRENE’S CUISINE
539 St. Philip St. 529-8811
Wondering if the wait is worth it? Poll the devoted locals toasting to their second hour in the piano lounge waiting area. They come for the escargots with vermouth, leeks and lots of garlic, for homemade soups such as sweet potato andouille and shrimp bisque, and for entrees like the chicken Rosemarino. The bird’s natural juices are sealed in an oven-roasted embrace of garlic, olive oil and rosemary. If you can make it so far, order the airy tiramisu. No reservations. Dinner daily. Credit cards. $$
