Top : United_States : LA : New_Orleans : Copelands of New OrleansCopelands is Popeyes founder Al Copelands spicy, white-tablecloth, just slightly upscale entry into Cajun-Creole fusion, the genre which characterizes contemporary New Orleans cooking. Expect pastas, grilled or blackened fish or chicken, seafood, and steaks, with Creole-style cream sauces and preparation and a hint of Cajun spice.Atmosphere is relaxed yet modern and surprisingly classy; you wont find any of the garage-sale refuse which has become so popular lining Copelands walls, nor a hokey, touristy treatment of the New Orleans theme.Located at the intersection of St. Charles and Napoleon Avenues, which is the location of the major turn in the uptown Carnival parade route, Copelands offers a prime, albeit crowded, view of Carnival parades, especially those coming from the lake side of St. Charles Ave.These restaurants have been opened both as Copeland-owned chain restaurants or franchises elsewhere in the country. If you have eaten at a Copelands chances are good that its the same one. The consistency of the food and repetition from dish-to-dish may be the result of central planning and preparation of spices and sauces.Lunch, dinner, and Sunday jazz brunch available. 4338 St Charles Ave

ReviewsSurprising For a chain restaurant, this was surprisingly good on all visits. Dishes were consistently well-textured and well-seasoned, atmosphere was classy and decorous, service was on par. For a chain restaurant, this was surprisingly good on all visits. Dishes were consistently well-textured and well-seasoned, atmosphere was classy and decorous, service was on par. The shrimp, especially, stood out as consistently well-executed: always fresh tasting, cooked just long enough to firm up, and seasoned to complement, not mask, the flavor. That having been said, Copeland's was far from excellent. Consistency could be the best word to describe it. Lacking was the flair, the innovations and risk-taking present, the signature dishes and surprising twists found at other, more local, cajun-creole restaurants like Jacques Imo's.
