ZACHARY'S
8400 Oak St. 865-1559
Zachary's offers traditional Creole dishes a block away from the Maple Leaf. Daily specials constantly change, but you can always count on favorites such as seafood gumbo, fried chicken and bread pudding being available. The Sunday brunch is the signature meal, with a buffet offering grillades and grits, an omelette station, eggs, bacon and more. Reservations accepted. Lunch Monday through Saturday, dinner Wednesday through Saturday, brunch Sunday. Credit cards. $$

ZEA ROTISSERIE & BREWERY
4450 Veterans Memorial Blvd., Metairie 780-9090
Along with seasonal specials, the popular rotisserie fare and handcrafted brews at Zea, there is plenty more to keep food lovers coming back. Seafood lovers, rejoice in the Triple Trout, crusted with sesame, pesto and Zea's special bronze seasoning. Management also recommends the Thai ribs, made with sesame seeds and cilantro and slow cooked to retain moisture and flavor. A new Zea Rotisserie Cafe should also be open inside the Esplanade Mall at the end of March. No reservations. Lunch, dinner and late-night daily. Credit cards. $$

ZEA ROTISSERIE CAFE
1655 Hickory Ave., Harahan 738-0799
1401 W. Esplanade Ave. (The Esplanade Mall), Kenner 468-7733
A brand-new location in the Esplanade Mall will give shoppers a chance to get in on such treats as the "meat of the day" specials, like sliced pork with rosemary and sliced beef with mushroom burgundy glaze. The rotisserie platter of the day is a hearty meal, with either an 8-ounce serving of the meat of the day with two side dishes, or a half chicken and 6-ounce of meat with side dishes. No reservations. Lunch and dinner daily. Credit cards. $

ZEKE'S
1517 Metairie Road, Metairie 832-1133
Zeke's extensive menu of New Orleans delights is sure to have something for everyone, but there seems to be something about the fried chicken club -- a chicken breast, Swiss cheese and bacon. It may sound simple, but regulars swear that perfection never gets old. Other favorites include boiled seasonal seafood, corned beef and cabbage, seafood gumbo, and trout meuniere. For dessert, check out the bread pudding with rum sauce, the pie of the day, or the cheesecake. Reservations recommended. Lunch and dinner daily, breakfast Sunday. Credit cards and checks. $$

ZOE BISTROT
333 Poydras St. (W Hotel) 207-5018
www.zoebistrot.com.
Located in the sleek W Hotel, the Zoe Bistrot features an eclectic cuisine. The restaurant is known for such inventive dishes as braised sea bass, prepared in a basil champagne and served with sea beans, horseradish potato pancake and pan sauce. Sundays were made for brunch here. Reservations recommended. Breakfast and dinner daily, lunch Monday through Saturday, brunch Sunday. Credit cards. $$$
