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!

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