The Waterfront Views From The Blue Crab In New Orleans Are Almost As Good As The Food

Despite New Orleans being nestled between multiple bodies of water, we really don’t have as many waterfront restaurants as you’d think we would. But there is one restaurant that’s got some of the most incredible views of Lake Pontchartrain, and the food is just as good as the view! For the best seafood in New Orleans, head on over to The Blue Crab on the lake. Let’s check it out.

When you’re in the mood for some delicious seafood with a delightful view, you should make your way to The Blue Crab.

Nestled along Lake Pontchartrain, this locally owned and operated restaurant is the perfectly casual, family-friendly answer to the eternal question, “where do you want to go for dinner?”

If you get the chance, grab a table outside so you can take in the view.

You won't be disappointed. At sunset, it’s truly mesmerizing.

And that’s before you even open the menu, which is full of all your favorite seafood specialties including fried seafood platters, burgers, and more.

For starters, you can’t go wrong with their charbroiled oysters. You can also get them raw, if you'd prefer!

You’ll also find several pastas, po’boys and salads on the menu.

No matter whether you’re looking to feast on a huge stack of fried seafood or chow down on some grilled fish, the Blue Crab has something for everyone.

For more information, be sure to check out their website and give them a follow on Facebook.
