The 50 best spots for quick bites in New Orleans

We spent several days in New Orleans and ate at a few fine dining places, but Brennan's was by far the highlight of our culinary adventures in New Orleans! We came in for brunch, and every minute was superb. The wait staff was so friendly and attentive. The atmosphere is so beautifully decorated and pleasant. We started with a delicious Irish coffee and Bloody Mary. My crab cake appetizer was really special, creatively done with the freshest ingredients and perfectly fried exterior. The turtle soup is a must try! The shrimp and grits had a fun presentation twist, and my husband's duck confit hash browns were out of this world. Of course, we got the bananas foster for dessert. They make the ice cream locally and prepare it in a special way so it doesn't turn to soup with the banana and sauce. It was so delicious and such a fun experience. The "cherry on the cake"? The coffee with chicory is probably the best coffee I've ever had!

Our dinner at Brennan's was nothing short of a five-star experience. Despite the restaurant being typically packed on a Friday, we were seated on the Terrace, which provided a wonderfully quiet and charming escape. It was the perfect atmosphere, and we even enjoyed the small water fountain that is home to a delightful crew of 10 turtles (one of them an albino!). The service was truly the highlight. Our server was beyond excellent—attentive, extremely helpful, and proactively sought answers from the chef regarding our questions. The overall supervision was also impressive; the head of the servers and other staff were constantly present, making rounds to ensure every table was perfectly taken care of. Our party of five enjoyed a variety of dishes, and every single plate was prepared and presented beautifully. Even the kid's dinner was surprisingly delicious! The level of attention to detail across the entire operation was evident and appreciated. We couldn't have asked for a better dining experience.

The eggs sardou is the best, most mind-blowing dish I’ve ever eaten! The crispy artichoke bottoms are definitely not from a can and each component was cooked to perfection. I will dream of this flavor for years to come! The whole meal was outstanding and surpassed my expectations - I wondered if it might be a tourist trap but it was the highlight of the trip.

Brunch was amazing from the service to the food to the dining space. Our server Lynika and her team mate Destiny were both so helpful and awesome. Lynika gave suggestions and answered every question we had plus everything we got was delicious that she said. Even though we were pleasantly full we had to get the bananas Foster which they do table side. We had the bloody Mary's and coffee. Our meals were scotch egg, eggs st. Charles, duck confit hash, and the steak and eggs. I really enjoyed my duck but the best thing was Eggs St Charles, which was recommended. Thank you for an incredible experience and meal.

I tried "Taste of Brennan's" combo: turtle soup, shrimp boil, and bread pudding for 38 dollars. I particularly liked the shrimp boil, it was so very flavorful that I had a strong urge to lick the plate. The turtle soup was a bit of disappointment, I expected a lot more and more unique flavor. It was good, just not great. The bread pudding was very sweet, I ate about half of it. Overall, performance ratio was very good. Note: reservation time is just a suggestion. Were asked to sit and wait past our reservation time. We were situated about 10-12 minutes after the original reservation time. We were not late, in fact we arrived a few minutes early.

100% Gem!! You must eat at Brennan's when visiting NOLA. Some of the most creative brunch dishes I have ever seen. FYl they created the banana foster so you have to get one when you come here just saying! Food was on point in every way. The cheery atmosphere and staff is very proper and considerate you get top notch service! Went for breakfast and it was fantastic. I definitely recommend the turtle soup the flavors were amazing. I went with the Eggs Owen and my wife got the Eggs Sardou both dishes came out hot and picture perfect amazing mmmmm...They were phenomenal everything from the service to food was spot on and overall we will definitely be there again next visit. Loved the waiter that did our bananas foster he was amazing and very informative! 100% recommend!

Finally getting around to posting reviews for the places we chose for our wedding back in March- Brennan’s was exceptional from start to finish. If you are contemplating having a party, reception or event here, look no further. Our food was perfect, the drinks were spot on, and our dedicated party host and server went above and beyond for us, even with our cake cutting service. It is so hard to find truly great catering with delicious food for groups of 20 or more anywhere, and our 3 course meal was so fresh and everyone raved about it. I’m still thinking about it all this time later. Thank you Brennan’s…I could not have dreamed of another place I wanted for our wedding, given we are from Texas and wanted a real NOLA experience celebrating at a place owned and operated by one of the greatest hospitality families of all time.

Some things actually don’t change very much. Maybe that’s why so many of us love New Orleans. Like so many people, I used to come here at all hours when I was in college a million years ago. Also like so many people, I always try to stop by when I am in town. If you’ve never been, stop by if you have time. It’s a tiny old-school diner - just a narrow counter with stools - but it’s the kind of place where people still remember their waiters from years gone by. They have traditional Louisiana diner fare. Today, I went for breakfast. I had red beans and rice (because Monday), with catfish (because catfish!). Chicory coffee, of course. If you want to be comfortable, this is possibly not your place. If you want to experience a New Orleans tradition, get on in there. ❤️

A real old-time lunch counter. Good food, lots of it, smiling servers (if a little slow) and a great vibe. If you can, save room for the Coconut Cream Pie. It was fantastic! I also really enjoyed the fried green tomatoes.

It was more than a meal - it was an experience. The staff was so kind and friendly, and the atmosphere was perfect. It’s small, but I’d happily wait in line to get to eat here again. Lots of customs and traditions, such as how the waiter gives you a straw. Quality service and food. They also offer a full menu all day, and my kids loved getting burgers for breakfast.

After reading so many great reviews & realizing I was in the neighborhood, I decided to walk to Camellia‘s last night where I was greeted with nothing but smiles and great energy. I ordered the ham and cheese sandwich and mac & cheese to go, walked 20 minutes to my home and it was absolutely delicious, It hit all the spots & the kind of mac & cheese also that I have been craving all week. You even get to watch the food being made right in front of you, my compliments to the chef and the kind gentlemen who helped me, especially Chad. There is also a lovely hostess with a beautiful smile, waiting to help you get seated somewhere. If you’re in the neighborhood or in town and you need some good Diner eats, then I’d absolutely recommend you stop by this place, it’s right along the street car path and very convenient. I plan on coming back for the pecan pie! P.S. the Mac and cheese doesn’t come with black pepper, I just added it.

It's the Camellia Grill! Pretty famous spot, been there forever and it's easy to see why. Boyfriend got a Roast Beef poboy and I had an Omlette. Excellent. What I really love is the service though and that it feels so much like eating at a friend's house who are great cooks. They just serve you when it's ready....here's your Omlette, here's your hash browns 5 minutes later...cool! It tastes like food I can make, but just so much better and really is so authentic New Orleans in every way and I love it. Forever a favorite spot since I was a kid. The Pecan pie, tastes like someone's grandma makes it, it's perfect.

Great old time dinner atmosphere and friendly service. It is all counter service only so there is usually a line. I had a sausage omelette and cheese grits. It was delicious! I had to have a slice of pecan pie. It’s grilled with butter before serving. WOW

Went here because it's historic, but unfortunately, I think they lean on that a bit too much. Our server was meek and not all that enthused to be helping us. Everything we ordered was wrong in some way (wrong cheeses, wrong sides). Took forever to flag her down for a coffee refill, which I got but after I was done with my meal. I love a good lunch counter, but I've experienced better service at a Waffle House.

This was truly such a unique dining experience, and one I will be gushing over for a long time to come! Every item we ordered was excellent. The dishes were prepared with such care, precision and quality ingredients. The flavours were out of this world. The service was some of the best I’ve ever had. Everything was so well choreographed. We didn’t feel rushed and were encouraged to savour the experience and enjoy our time. An absolute must try for locals and visitors alike!

My fiancee and I went for a nice dinner to cap our vacation. The service was excellent, the staff were very nice and even the owner came over to check on us. The food was delicious and they also had a great wine selection. The caramel cheesecake was the best cheesecake I’d ever had and I love cheesecake. My inky gripe is that the portions were on the smaller side and I’m a big guy. The place is fairly expensive so ordering more food wasn’t exactly in the budget.

First of all, this place is HUGE, but it felt like we were in a very intimate setting. Our Captain, Justin and his team - Travis and Corey were phenomenal from start to finish. We chose Commander's Palace to celebrate our anniversary dinner and couldn't be more pleased. From our appetizer to our desserts, everything was perfect. I also love that we had bananas foster prepared tableside along with a history lesson. I look forward to visiting again. Because I couldn't decide on which soup to order, I decided to get them all! The tasting portions of the gumbo, turtle soup, and soup of the day was perfectly portioned, and a wake up for my taste buds.

November 2025: we did a lot of research which restaurants to visit during our visit to New Orleans, my expectations were very high. Perhaps for that reason I was slightly disappointed. The start was fantastic. I like the option of having three small cups of their soups. Each one was excellent. I loved the turtle soup, gumbo was excellent and the cauliflower crab bisque came a close third. The arugula salad with apple shaving was refreshing with nice blend of flavors. However, the main entree were a disappointment. We switched in the middle comping that the flavors might be more pleasing for each, but that did not work for either one of us. Our choices were pork and quale. Our waitress was in training, and could not answer any questions and always had to call another waitress, who was terrific. Perhaps they should do training in pairs, so it is less frustrating to the diners.

Food: 4/5. Overall thought a lot of the dishes were too salty. We tried all 3 soups and thought they were all too salty. The food portions are also pretty small for its price. Got a side of the crab cooked in champagne and do not recommend. Tasted like plain crab. My favorite dish was probably the cauliflower appetizer and pecan crushed fish. The free garlic bread is delicious Service: >5/5 Logan was our main server and he was so very kind and welcoming! We ordered really weirdly but not once did we feel pressured to order more food and he was very friendly in explaining the dishes. PSA: people get REALLY dressed up for this restaurant! Also highly recommend making a reservation in advance.

I managed to get a reservation for the 25 cent Martini Lunch and what an experience!! The service was impeccable. The dining room beautifully appointed with plenty of fabric surfaces to keep the noise levels low. And the food!!! WOW! Off the charts delicious. You must get the Soup 1-1-1 and Bread Pudding Souffle. I'm still dreaming of that dessert 3 weeks later.

I'm a foodie and Commander's Palace has been showcased many times on various cooking shows. Award winning menus, chefs, service, etc., So, obviously, had to go here for my wife's birthday New Orleans trip and this place did not disappoint at all. The staff was bright, pleasant, excited even. The atmosphere was perfect. Not too loud, not whisper quiet. The food was fanominal, the staff was very knowledgeable of both the food and drinks. The dessert and birthday express was not over the top and annoying to either us or other guest. All of the accolades of this establishment is well deserved.

Gumbo shop was so good. Definitely a must go to and in town. Husband had the special salmon dish with a crab cake. And I did the shrimp gumbo. With the amazing French bread that is fresh. Tony our server was great. He was very personable suggesting things and entertaining.

Gumbo Shop is one of the most popular and historic restaurants in New Orleans for authentic Creole cuisine. They are known for their classic seafood okra gumbo, creole combination platter, and bread pudding. My wife and I are visiting from San Diego and the Gumbo Shop serves one of the best gumbo we’ve ever had. I didn’t get our waiters name but he was very attentive and personable. He recommended something that wasn’t on the menu and I went with his recommendation. It turned out to be very good in flavor. They offer a spacious dining area, both indoor and outdoor. They also have a full bar and serve a great variety of cocktails and beers. I recommend the Gumbo Shop if you’re looking for great gumbo. Many other entrees sounded so good and I wish I could have tried more options.

I don't even know where to start. Everything on the menu looked fantastic. Waiter was courteous, attentive and prompt. Food came out fresh and hot. There was so many layers of flavor with each bite. Definitely will be back, that's a no brainer! Excellent!

The atmosphere left a bit to be desired considering the open kitchen view from where we sat and the construction outside. The customer service was excellent. Our waiter took care of us explaining the dishes precisely and recommending a meal for us. We first order the gumbo sampler to try out and then decided on the creole combo platters. My fiancé especially enjoyed the bread pudding with whiskey sauce.

Upon learning that they were voted to have the “best gumbo” in NOLA, I’m a little bit disappointed with myself for having ordered something else BESIDES gumbo. Yes, I’ve been told numerous times that their creole combination was worth trying and a must order. But that’s not what they were voted best for…so I’ll just have to stop by again before I fly back out. I really like the old world vibes here. The patio area looks and feels very European. Inside, I felt ported back to a bygone era and just sitting there lets me experience a part of history. Service was quite friendly and very straightforward. Food and drinks came very quickly (I also did visit at a relatively slow period). As much as the dish was recommended, I really didn’t think much of the creole combo. It felt simple for what NOLA is known for. It didn’t excite like what would be expected of creole/cajun flavors. If anything, it was leaning towards the boring side. Too bad I had a few others things to get done that day or I would have ordered a few more items to properly gauge their food and flavors. Until next time, thank you and see you again soon!

Of course i had to try Gumbo while i was in New Orleans. So when i asked chatgpt (yes, i did...) where i should go, this place came up as award winning! I went for an early dinner, a friday around 6, and i was sat right away. There's construction in the area so you have to pay attention to where you are going or you won't find them. Its a very casual place, ambiance was great and they have outdoor seating as well. Staff is very pleasant and very helpful. I started with a piña colada, which was very tasty, not too sweet or too icey. I had the seafood & okra gumbo! It was amazing. I added some hot sauce to it. They bring you french bread, which was perfect for dipping in my gumbo!!! You must come here and try it out! They have several gumbo options to pick from.

The food at The Gumbo Shop was warm, homely and very tasty. The Vegan Gumbo and the Corn Macque Choix are must haves. The vegetarian Po Boi was beautiful with its soft warm bread and fresh vegetable filling. Ending the dinner with some pecan pie was the cherry on top. Would definitely recommend this place to any vegetarian looking to try local food

Amazing poor boys! We loved the buddha shrimp, poor boy, shrimp with green tomato, poor boy, and the red beans and rice. We do not recommend the jambalaya. And don’t over order. Get a half sandwich and a side.

We ordered a beef po-boy dressed mayo on the side. Prices hmmm. It was ok! Mid at best. The place is small and EVERYTHING is old yall been in business for multiple decades upgrade everything your ancestors wont be mad. The bathroom is in need of a deep clean and update it to.

Yoooo what a gem!! It's a small spot, but everyone is very friendly. The shrimp po-boy is amazing!!! Every bite was loaded with tender, juicy shrimp and the bread was super on point fresh. Hands down the best ever shrimp Po-Boys I've had...I could have eaten 2 more of them easily. Love the local atmosphere and vibe. love this place, when I come back to NOLA 100% going again. 100% recommend!

After walking for hours, and finding Johnny po boys. My husband had the catfish poboy an I the gumbo, rice n beans. Yum!! Small place… not many tables. But quick turn around. Wait few minutes. Someone done. Next

The catfish po boy was mediocre fish had no seasoning bread was not toasted and was very chewy...The alligator sausage was good. There was no crowd and service was fast and courteous though... for New Orleans which is known for great seasoning i was very disappointed. Food did not match the rating and reviews it has received.

The old school po boy spit vibe is unique if you never experienced before. I got some voodoo shrimp po boy which was okay but can be much better. As a tourist, they only take cash and food is okay. Lower your expectations and enjoy a sandwich.

This place stayed busy and had a line out the door the ENTIRE time we were there. I had the fried green tomatoes and shrimp po boy. Was pretty good. But surprisingly the turkey club po boy tasted even better. Talk about shocked. Have been waiting YEARS to eat a po boy bc I wanted an authentic one and this place didn't disappoint. We also tried the gumbo and jambalaya. They were ok. Nothing to really rave about. Will definitely be back!!!

I love Creole food, love, love, love. However, I don’t love Galatoire’s. The food, looks the part, but doesn’t taste it. To start, you make reservations by credit card, so if you don’t show, they charge you. That’s fair, I guess. But we arrived, were promptly seated, and waited over 10 minutes before we even got our menus. It’s important to note that GW Fins is right around the corner, and we would have just left and gone there, which I wish we had. They finally brought us bread and water, so it was too late to politely leave. The bread was simply not good; it was soft but lacked flavor. Willing to give the restaurant a fair shake, I ordered quite a bit from the menu. I got an appetizer sampler of shrimp, crawfish, fried bacon oysters, and crab, all nasty. I ordered Oysters Rockefeller; they looked really gross and tasted even worse. I tried the seafood gumbo and the duck gumbo, both tasting off, with the gumbo filé overpowering in a burnt flavor and a hint of tomato, which was really odd. You can see the pics, we didn’t eat much. I ordered shrimp étouffée; at least the shrimp were cooked properly, but the sauce was just gross. I ordered the filet mignon, requested medium, but it came rare, it was at least edible. Ordered cheesy potatoes au gratin to accompany it; they were not great. For drinks, I ordered a vodka soda water, but they used ginger ale instead of soda water. To top it all off, I got the black pecan cake with vanilla ice cream. The ice cream was two tiny dabs that looked like a garnish on the cake, but the cake itself was actually quite nice, though a bit overpowering. The highlight of the night was our waitress, Britney. She was incredible. Believe it or not, I didn’t complain once about any dish, paid for everything, smiled, and said all was fine. She questioned why we didn’t eat much, but I didn’t have the heart to make her feel bad, it wasn’t her fault, and she did a great job. The food, however, isn’t worth trying. I swear, the dishes were so bad they must’ve been cooked by the ghosts of New Orleans’ worst chefs haunting the kitchen! It gets a lot of good reviews, which either tells me I came on a bad night or people have no idea what good Creole is. I assure you, Galatoire’s isn’t it. There are many great spots in New Orleans. I recommend trying others before coming here.

I did not want to eat here as they have a dress code, but my spouse wanted to. It's NOLA. It's muggy. It's outrageously muggy. Jackets are required at dinner but lunch was more casual requiring just long pants and a collared shirt, so that's what we did. For the record, loaner jackets are available. ATMOSPHERE: The dining room is very plain, not warm or elegant especially with the tacky wall mirror that encircles the entire room. For a place that has a dress code, I was expecting more. It was fairly empty at lunch sans for a large party that made as much noise as if the restaurant was fully packed. MENU: Higher end apps, soup, salads, omelettes, poultry, shellfish, fish, meats, desserts. FOOD: Garlic Bread In addition to melted butter, fresh garlic was visible on each slice. I didn't have any due to its offensiveness and didn't want to get full on a filler. Oysters en Brochette This appetizer was my favorite selection of the entire lunch. The oysters were delicately fried with an airy batter and drizzled with a butter sauce and bacon bits. Simply delish. Soufflé Potatoes How in the world did they make these?! They're like large steak fries that are hollowed out, leaving just the exterior skin and batter. As you cut them they deflate like a jumping castle being taken down, lol. A decadent béarnaise sauce accompanied. Turtle Soup au Sherry This is one dish I had to try while in NOLA and I was happy they offered it. It was tomato-based like a minestrone and tasted like it too, with minced turtle meat that was similar in texture to abalone. You wouldn't even know you're eating turtle. Shrimp Marguery I had a hard time deciding which shellfish dish to order and chose this, unfortunately, by reading others' reviews. I imagined plump, seared shrimp bathed in smooth, creamy sauces. What I received were six shrimp drowning in a pool of hollandaise and béchamel sauces in a small baking dish that was broiled. The result was an Exxon-like oil spill, with the sauces separating from their binders that left a clumpy mess. To add insult to injury, the shrimp weren't seared at all, pretty much just boiled in the oils. Filet Mignon My spouse's visually unappealing dish. For an additional cost came a ramekin of hollandaise sauce. That's all that was on the plate - the steak sprinkled with parsley and the cup of hollandaise. While less is usually more, it looked like it was plated by a child. Looks aside, the filet's temperature was served pretty raw and not even close to rare. Sad. Potatoes au Gratin Besides fingerling potatoes, au gratin is my second least favorite preparation style, but I really like it here due to its moisture and cheesiness. SERVICE: Female server took great care of us. She was very friendly, pleasant and professional. Thank you! OVERALL: Some people love this type of dining but not me. Enjoyable apps, great service. Not a return for us due to the lackluster entrees.

Went to the infamous fried chicken brunch. Arrived on time. Was seated quickly. Then sat there. A random server gave us water. Food was just placed on our table with no explanation of acknowledgment. Bare minimum for 2 people. Still no one came to check on us. I had to ask someone passing for a soda. I had to ask a busboy for our check. When he asked how was it I told him horrible. He asked to give it another try. I’m not wasting over $160 again for 2 people. NEVER. My money spends just like everybody else. And a sweet potato pie doesn’t make everything all good.

I came here expecting a true New Orleans classic, and while the food itself was solid, the service left a lot to be desired. We were seated at 7:00, and by 9:00 we had only been served one round of drinks. Dinner was nowhere in sight, and there wasn’t much urgency from the staff to check in or move things along. For a restaurant with this reputation and price point, the pacing was disappointing and really took away from the experience. Once the food did arrive, it was good — traditional flavors, well-prepared, and worth the wait from a culinary standpoint. Unfortunately, the painfully slow service overshadowed what could have been a memorable meal. If you’re planning a visit, expect good food but be prepared to spend the entire evening waiting for it.

What a day! We spent the week in the Quarter and by far this was the best event of the trip!!! Galatoire's Friday Lunch is a must do experience! This was the one place my father in-law said "we must do", so not going wasn't an option. Just getting a reservation in and of it's self was a task because it's so iconic. My wife called months in advance to try and book, but due to the Halloween festivities it was almost impossible. A huge THANK YOU to Caroline Oliver. She was so nice, communicative, and accommodating working with us. We arrived early for our 11:30am reservations, but not to worry because their bar was already open. We passed through the dinning room as the service staff was in a lineup getting prepared for the day's service. Even though it was all business one server acknowledge us and made us feel immediately welcomed. We enjoyed cocktails at the bar which we thought would be dead, but it was alive and well. We knew that this was going to be an extra special experience based on the elaborate costumes people were wearing for Halloween. We were promptly seated and the ambience was already at a rolling bubble, ready to boil. As fate would have it the same server who greeted us in the staff lineup was also our server to the day, and I'm so thankful she was! Candace Dickey or "Ace" absolutely made our experience! She immediately made us feel at home and took control of our dinning cadence, allowing us relax and enjoy our day. She was maestro to our bacchanalia. The food was spot on: hot, fresh, classic, and full of the flavor's of New Orleans that stay with you a lifetime. The entire staff was on point all around, it felt like we were at a party not a restaurant. We even got to compliment the chef! A second line band even came through and sent the whole dinning room into a festive frenzy! This was a dinning experience I will never forget. In my 15+ years of restaurant management from Tampa, to L.A., and Atlanta; the service and dinning experience from start to finish is what excellence is all about. Thank you to the manager who greeted us as we left and to all the staff that made our trip one of the greats!

I was not impressed to say the least. The restaurant closes at 9 and they accepted our reservation at 9 but the hostess never told the kitchen so we were kind of rushed to order our food. We were placed in a corner as a group of 7. Our server tried her best to give us a good experience but everything else from everyone else felt very rushed. Very disappointed in the food. Specifically the “rockerfeller oysters”. I have never is my life seen black rockerfeller oysters. They were very hard to get out the shell and whatever the topping was , was very mushy. I tried to eat what I could but it just wasn’t it. My cousin’s pork chop was not even edible. Very over done. The gumbo was lukewarm and saltiness. I understand they were closing but don’t rush and half ass do things at the expense of your customers when you’re the one who accepted the reservation.

Amazing food, cocktails and service. The ambiance is nice too. The front dining room is a little bit stuffy and you are required to have a jacket if you're a man. This is like old school fine dining. The back dining room is perfect for families or us heathens that didn't bring fancy clothes. All the food is well cooked, presented beautifully and beyond tasty. The drinks are well mixed and balanced. I definitely recommend making a trip here.

What at excellence dining experience. Please get all the appetizers! The main course were great but appetizers were fantastic. The fish was great and so were the vegan/vegeterian option. This is a more formal dinning experience than causal and a great place for large groups.

The mushroom goat cheese croutons were ethereal. The fennel pepper crusted lamb with zinfandel reduction and duck fat potatoes was phenomenal as well. Overall the wine list did leave a little to be desired but the btg menu did definitely have the perfect pairing for my meal. The service was exceptional and the ambiance outside was dreamy. Will enthusiastically return.

Beautiful setting, attentive service, and delicious food.... what did you ask for? I\n Had the garlic soup first, followed by a barbecue shrimp. Both were outstanding, but the shrimp was really fantastic. I had the cheesecake for dessert and it was a little bit small in portion size, but very delicious.

As a vegan person I highly recommend this place. I had a hard time finding vegan options at fine dining restaurants in New Orleans and it was such a relief when I found out that Bayona does offer vegan options and they are delicious! The service and ambiance was great as well, very quiet and elegant. Our server was very friendly, kind and knew exactly what to recommend from the menu!

We had a wonderful meal last night at Bayona. The new chef, Christy ❤️Engeran is so incredibly talented. She has truly brought Bayona to another level the level of food that she is doing with not just her classic French, but world cuisine is astounding. We had the shrimp flan, the fish, Dijour and a long list of incredible vegan dishes among our favorite was the vegetableTagine in a Moroccan style with couscous and it was incredible.

We had an absolutely wonderful dinner here tonight for my birthday. Not only was our server incredibly attentive and knowledgeable—she was also delightfully personable and an absolute pleasure to work with. Our food was simply divine—every detail was thoughtfully addressed, both in presentation and taste. And my god, the duck and the lamb had some of the best cook on them we’ve ever experienced (and my partner and I order duck and lamb every chance we get). This is our new favorite place. Every time we have the pleasure of visiting New Orleans, we are going to visit here. Thank you all so much for an absolutely fab dinner.

Amazing food and service. Dining room is a little dated, but the courtyard is so cute. We had sweetbreads, burrata, garlic soup, goat cheese croutons, fish of the day, lamb, steak, and gratin potatoes. Service was phenomenal: excellent food descriptions and attentive.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ The experience at Parkway Tavern what’s amazing. The food? Hands down best Po-Boy in New Orleans! The shrimp barbecue sauce was unbelievable, and we got the fried shrimp and roast beef po’boy—both were so damn good we ate every single bite. The service was pure Southern charm, and the atmosphere was calm and welcoming with the game playing in the background. It was the perfect setting, and we had the best time. Parkway Tavern is a must when in New Orleans! Literally- no other place- sit in the bar- you’re welcome!!!!!

My husband wanted a classic po boy and we took a 12 minute uber from downtown to Parkway. The driver said this was her favorite spot for po boys - thought it was a good sign we were going to the right place. There was a bit of a line but it moved fairly quickly. My husband ordered the oyster po boy (small) and said it was fantastic. I was not sure if I could eat anything here because I’m gluten free, but ordered the capresse and chicken without the bread which was surprisingly good ( mozzarella fresh). The sandwiches are large - unless you’re really hungry suggest ordering a small. The coleslaw was also great! Loved the retro interior with vintage photos and signs.

Parkway in New Orleans is often recommended for their poboys, so I decided to try their famous shrimp poboy. Unfortunately, it wasn’t really my favorite. The sandwich was generous with fried shrimp, but it fell apart easily, and the flavors didn’t stand out for me. I also personally don’t love shrimp, which may have influenced my experience, but even aside from that, it didn’t leave a strong impression. The fries, particularly the gravy cheese fries, were really good — definitely a highlight of the meal. The restaurant gets busy quickly, and the line moves slowly. The ordering system can be confusing if you’re sitting outside, as it’s hard to hear when orders are called. While the system works, I found it a bit inefficient. Overall, while Parkway is a popular spot and the fries are great, the shrimp poboy didn’t live up to the hype for me. I probably wouldn’t return unless I wanted to try a different item.

Great spot for poboys & drinks. The award winning James brown is fried fish and BBQ beef was a nice saucey sandwich with a crunch from the fried shrimp and some freshness from the lettuce and tomatoes. My favorite was the Louisiana catfish which is a simple fried catfish with lettuce tomato pickle. The catfish was so moist and perfectly fried along with the veggies it was so perfect. The mango margs were also really good and really strong. The only downside is that there is a really long line for both the sandwiches and the drinks so be prepared to wait - worth it though. 8/10

Parkway is a classic New Orleans spot. This was my second time here. The first time was about 15 years ago and I have only so so memories about it. I wanted to try again. Today I got their famous roast beef poboy. It was loaded with meat. I only needed half of a large poboy. It had just the perfect amount of tasty gravy to prevent the bread from falling apart. And the French bread was crispy and excellent. My only beef was the beef. I found the meat to be mostly unseasoned which brought back my memories from the past. This place is beloved, so I'm likely on an island on this review. I'm still giving 4 stars, and I want to come back and try other menu items. I hope I can up the rating.

Pretty good overall. The creole barbecue sauce was really good. The James brown was big, kind of wished there was a little more shrimp but totally fine. The coleslaw and potato salad was also great

Long line but went fairly fast. The poorboy was worth the wait! One large is enough for two people! We had the James Brown with shrimp and bbq beef.

We walked a mile from Saint Louis No 1 Cemetery to Dooky Chase, it was a bit sketchy walking underneath Interstate 10, with a few homeless encampments. Other than that it was totally worth the walk. We had no reservations for lunch and the restaurant was really busy. Fortunately, we got hooked up and had a fantastic lunch in such a legendary spot. The restaurant is a must visit. Probably best to get a reservation. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ ——————————————————————————————————

What a beautiful experience. The art on the walls and the appreciation of history is just facet of an overall experience that cant be overstated. The food is traditional creole faire but so well executed. Simplicity and technique are what made the fried chicken or the seafood platter truly memorable. The gumbo was so delicate and flavorful. The staff are young and vibrant and make it easy to over look little things like getting lemonade instead of water. The atmosphere made this one of the highlights of my dining adventures in New Orleans.

The restaurant could rely on its history alone but it doesn’t. The outstanding food and service match it’s reputation. We visited Dooky with a party of 10’and it did not disappoint. The famous gumbo is famous for a reason. I enjoyed the shrimp Clemenceau. The redfish and fried chicken were standouts as well. If you’re visiting the area Dooky’s will definitely be a highlight and a don’t miss!

This restaurant is an institution, but they don't rest on their laurels - the reputation is well earned, with delicious local food served in generous portions. The fried catfish was enough for 2 people and the Creole was delicious.

Rich history, delicious gumbo, but I never received my main meal. I waited for over an hour, people that were seated after me received their meal. This was my first visit and it was ruined. I was so looking forward to having a meal at this historic venue. Leah Chase was one of a kind, and it was an honor to meet her in the past. I truly wanted to experience her restaurant for myself. But this experience just ruined all my excitement

Dooky Chases’s is a slice of Southern Heaven. Mrs. Leah’s Southern hospitality and delicious cuisine was an enjoyable dining experience. Beautiful people and it felt like home. Lovely atmosphere. We will definitely return with more of our friends and family. 💛

My goodness, this place is Fantastic. We got there about 11:20, just before the lunch rush hit. The local is are is awesome. I wish I remember my waitresses name, she was so sweet. Everything we had was so good. There was no wait & the service was awesome. The fried oysters were soo good. I haven’t had good ones like that since moving from the Ca coast. This place is worth the stop.

We had soft crab po boy and a oyster and shrimp po boy. Both were amazing, but we loved the soft crab better, the oyster was little soft, but still delicious. We walked to Jackson park and enjoyed them in a bench. Perfect night.

Just went there initially because Anthony Bourdain had a muffaletta there, and I never had one, so I thought this was the time. It was honestly delicious and became our little store for the week since it was close to the hotel. It is very tight in there with not much room to move around and does need to some extra cleaning.

came for anthony boudain’s order!!! it was amazing, ordered it hot and goshhh the feeling of blowing and biting at the same time just hits different. the store is tiny tho, hard to move around and maybe they need to make it cleaner looking. i just went yesterday and now i already missed the sandwich…..cya again soonnnn

The guy who handed me my food was so kind and I just cannot get over how delicious the muffuletta here is. It’s the best I’ve ever had and I have had a lot of muffulettas! The spicy is just top notch!

If there is a scenario where you could imagine yourself happily standing in line for half an hour at 3AM for a sandwich then you have found the right place. Grab a cold six pack from their fridge, walk across the street, and watch the glorious human vignette comprised of folks who's venn diagram overlaps with yours at this time and place. When you enter pay attention to the harried man behind the register. The path to your reward is not always obvious. Typically it seems the que forms on the left, proceeds past the first register, past the deli counter beneath the wall with the menu written on it, and loops back to the front of the store and the second register where you place your order, pay, and receive your ticket but be prepared, the harried man behind the first register may, upon returning from the kitchen or a delivery to the folks waiting outside, start taking orders at the first register whereupon the line will bifurcate at a point whose location could not be predicted by a quantum computer, but will be revealed by a lady who will turn to you and say, "Go back over they" while she proceeds on her original path, and loop back upon itself in the very narrow aisle. Your food will be delivered to you on the sidewalk in about fifteen minutes by the harried man. Sometimes the system is overwhelmed and they say they will stop taking orders for half an hour and the harried man told me the kitchen closes from five to eight am. The All That Jazz sandwich was very good at 3:30 am, though it is a mess to eat. I would recommend finding a table somewhere nearby (Laffites ?). The sidewalk outside Verti Marte has seen a lot of humanity. The red beans were very good, rich and herbatious. If your priority is just getting some food in your belly, NOLA Po' Boys a couple blocks away is a quicker option, but this is the richer experience.

Everything you want from a full service bodega. The soft shell crab po boy was two full soft shell crabs , one on each half, fried to order and very fresh. The spicy muffalata blew me away with flavor. This is the kind of sandwich that will keep me up at night in the future thinking about it. You have to get the spicy muffalata.

Very friendly service! Sometimes a tight fit but be nice and everyone will be nice to you. How it works: go look at the menu and the cases. Then order from a cashier. Drink a beer you bought. Then wait while trying to stay out of the way but listen for your number! Finally, enjoy your amazing food. All that jazz is uniquely delicious. Shrimp poboy is one of the best.

We visited Café Du Monde at the iconic Jackson Square location, having read all the positive reviews about their beignets. Location & Food (3/5 Stars): The location is unbeatable—right next to Jackson Square. The beignets were, as advertised, very good and a must-try New Orleans dessert. The coffee was fine, standard New Orleans coffee. Service (0/5 Stars): This is where the experience falls apart. Our server approached and immediately asked, "Do you guys want beignets? How many?" and then rudely walked away mid-sentence before we could finish deciding. The attitude was appalling. Even after we did place our order (two of the same item), she was so inattentive that she misunderstood a simple request and brought us two different versions. While not a major issue, it was yet another clear indication of her lack of focus. We waited 5-10 minutes for her return. I observed similar rude, dismissive behavior from servers at other tables. To top it off, after dropping off the order, our server waited right next to our table explicitly for a tip despite the terrible service. Practical & Legal Concerns: 1- CASH ONLY: Be prepared. This is a cash-only place. 2-No Receipts: A major concern is that they do not issue receipts, even when requested. This, combined with the servers constantly walking around counting wads of cash, suggests they may not be properly reporting their earnings and could be operating illegally. This is highly unprofessional and tacky. Conclusion: While the beignets are a New Orleans staple, I would never suggest a friend go here. The combination of rude service and shady business practices outweighs the historic location and decent food. There are plenty of other fantastic local spots to get beignets and coffee with an infinitely better experience.

Definitely the iconic spot it is heralded for. Beignets were amazing. The frozen café au lait is a perfect pairing. The jazz music outside really sets a vibe for the puffs of powdered sugar as you bite into your Beignets. Its the standard and sets the bar. Start here and then try the others. Seat yourself and someone will come to you. Sometimes that takes longer than you want. Cash only but open 24hrs!!!

What can you say about Café Du Monde? It’s iconic for a reason. The beignets are absolutely incredible — hot, fresh, perfectly crisp on the outside with a light, airy chew on the inside, and piled high with powdered sugar. I went on a busy Sunday morning and was lucky to get a seat right away, and the service was surprisingly quick given how chaotic it can get. The restaurant is very casual and crowded, with cramped tables and chairs, and the waitstaff are constantly on the move. The restrooms are limited and not the nicest, but it’s a casual spot, and the prices reflect that. I was so impressed that I went back the next day — these beignets are truly worth a visit to New Orleans on their own. I’ve been dreaming about them for years, and they exceeded every expectation. Absolutely phenomenal. 100% recommend to anyone visiting the city.

Heads up : it’s cash only, no cards accepted! That said, this place is a true New Orleans classic. Super retro vibe, often with live musicians playing nearby, which makes the whole experience even better. And the beignets? Wowwww! absolutely delicious! Of course we recommend it!

We had to visit cafe de monde, it is an institution. Super busy any time of day. Beignets are related to donuts, but not as flavorful. They are covered with heap of powered sugar, so they very messy. I saw very few people that were not covered with white powder. To stay relatively clean you have to shake off the powder first, you still get a lot of sweetness as some of it heats up and melts onto the dough. The bathroom experience was memorable. There is a long line, and there is a bathroom director who tells the next person to enter one of two bathrooms (both are either/or ) bathroom. They are the size of the air plane bathroom, dirty, with wet floor. There are no paper towels, but one can use toilet paper to dry the hands. It is an experience I will remember. P.s. cash only. A plate with thee and 2 coffees were 15 dollars.

Cafe Du Monde is the quintessential touristy place of New Orleans. If you don't visit, did you even go to The Big Easy? Beignets and coffee are the name of the game here. The beignets are coated with enough powdered sugar to tempt the Narcotics Unit to throw you behind bars. Will you find better tasting beignets in the area? For sure. But will you eat them in a place as historical and nostalgic as the city itself? Heck no! The main thing to know is this place is cash only. Also, you can purchase one of the server hats and get the cheapest souvenir in the French Market. I've eaten here early morning and late at night, and it's truly a toss-up on which vibes I liked better. In the end, you can't go wrong.

I've long heard that you have to get there SUPER early to get in line to get beignets. We went here twice and did not have to wait either time to sit down. I figured it was time of year or time of day (once was around dinner time in the evening and the other was around mid-day). Service was quick and the beignets were delicious as was the cafe au lait. Both times we visited, there was live music just outside of the patio. We didn't stick around too long after we were done, so can't speak to anything else. Would I go back here? Sure!

A True New Orleans Gem! Coop’s Place is one of those spots that feels like a hidden gem in the heart of the French Quarter. It’s got that old-school bar vibe—dark, gritty, and full of character—and I loved every minute of it. It’s definitely different in the best way. The food was phenomenal. I had the pork chop, and it was incredibly juicy and flavorful. The red beans and rice were some of the best I’ve had—rich, hearty, and full of that New Orleans soul. The service was friendly, and our waitress was especially nice and welcoming. It just had that authentic, laid-back charm that makes you feel at home. I’ll definitely be back next time I’m in town. Coop’s Place is the place to be, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a great local experience.

Coop’s Place is a lively French Quarter dive with bold Cajun-Creole flavors. The crawfish étouffée is rich and flavorful, and the fried chicken is crispy and satisfying. Expect generous portions, fair prices, and quick, no-nonsense service. Great for casual eats, not fine dining.

Coop’s Place has a fantastic atmosphere — laid-back, lively, and full of local charm. It’s the perfect spot to soak up authentic New Orleans vibes while enjoying delicious food. I loved their blackened redfish po’ boy with French fries—perfectly seasoned fish, fresh bread, and crispy fries on the side—it was so tasty! The shrimp salad and pork chops also tasted great! The rabbit and sausage jambalaya and seafood gumbo were also packed with authentic Creole flavor. The staff is friendly, in a no-nonsense, New Orleans kind of way, and the prices are very reasonable for the quality. If you want delicious local food in a fun, casual setting, you can’t go wrong with Coop’s Place. I highly recommend it!

Man, let me tell you — Coop’s is one of the best little spots in New Orleans! I can’t eat seafood, so I let the server know, and she didn’t miss a beat. She recommended the chicken, told me it’s cooked in its own grease, and said it would be the best thing I could have. And she wasn’t lying — that chicken was to die for! Juicy, flavorful, cooked just right — honestly the best chicken I’ve had in a long time. My friend had a great meal too, so everything coming out of that kitchen is on point. If you’re in New Orleans, do yourself a favor and check out Coop’s. This is the spot — you won’t regret it!

Coop's Place is an solid establishment, for the new Orleans fan fare I had the gumbo and jambalaya. Pro tip you gotta put that filthy gumbo on top of the jambalaya for the best results. Cocktails 🍸 absolute gems, get the absinthe laced one to start your Nola journey correctly. Would definitely come again

This is a chill real authentic NOLA spot. It has its own charm and appeal. The smoked duck quesadilla was good, not a fan on sweet sauce, but next time Ill get that on the side. Trust me its me, I'm not the savory sweet mixy type of person. The fried chicken was the start of the show for me, seasoned, savory and the perfect amount of crisp! Good food and great service, will always be top tier for me.

I was turned on to this place by locals in r/askNOLA and I was NOT disappointed. This was the best food we had in NOLA. I got the taste plate and quickly realized I should've done a full meal of jambalaya. The wife got fried chicken, that was great too. Next day we went back. I got the jambalaya and she got a cajun pasta. I liked the cajun pasta even more! Place is a must-try in your quest for the best creole. As far as ambiance, yes it's a dark little dive bar, but don't be fold. Great people, great food!

This was our first stop in NOLA because it was late and they were open later than most spots. I love that they had vegan options. I had the vegan banger which was good. Etouffe fries were not what I expected. A little crispier than we would’ve liked (and I actually like my fries crispy) My kids eat basic so the lil beefy was a basic hotdog perfect for them. My teenager liked her grilled chicken sandwich. My hubby liked his cheesy bacon ranch fries and rougarou and the local beer jucifer. My mom and youngest daughter said the shrimp was fried too hard so she didn’t eat her poboy. Great service from the guys working there. My family of 6 ate for about $20 a person.

We got the Chicago dog and the flying pig. Both were great! I thought the fries were way too crispy and oily but the partner liked them. Atmosphere is pretty cool. A few booths and a bar to sit at with lots of alcohol options. The staff is kind of just hanging around, in the way sometimes. But quick to clean up and/ or serve you.

Went here tonight after finally arriving for our honeymoon. Food was AWESOME!! I got the etoufee dog and my husband got the son of a saint dog which a portion of proceeds goes to the children’s hospital! So delicious and the staff was very kind and helpful! Definitely recommend making the stop here.

One hour wait for 2 hotdogs! I mean, the hotdogs are great, but... one hour wait? Go to the upstairs bar. Much quicker service.

The hot dog was tasty and perfectly fresh made. It lasts a bit long and the inner side is not as funny created than the windows. Also it was the first time in this franchise zo I can not compare it, but all of us we enjoy the dog.

Lively, loud music, happy and friendly staff. The best brat I have ever had, hands down! Plenty of variety. SO GOOD!! Highly recommended.

It's always one of the best places to eat in the city. Plus, it's on frenchmen street. It's just the coolest spot. I took my girlfriend there for her first time yesterday and she thoroughly enjoyed it. The only slight letdown was when I asked if they had all the makings for a Paloma, and she told me no, but upon looking, they did or least a bastardized one. Grapefruit juice works just fine. Will always be back there though.

This restaurant is inside a charming old house with four small rooms, which gives it a lovely atmosphere. Reservations are a must, and there is no bar, so you can’t come early and hang out. The butternut shrimp bisque is outstanding, velvety with depth of flavor and a little heat that warms the throat. If I came again, I would just order that with the warm, crusty French bread. It is the star of the menu. A bowl was a huge portion. If you plan on ordering an entree, a cup would suffice. The veal sweetbreads were well done but swimming in an inedible sauce, overrun with capers and a strong herb flavor, maybe rosemary, and way too salty. The duck was very tender, but the l’orange sauce wasn’t the best. They also came out lukewarm and had to be sent back. They were not simply warmed up, but we got brand new orders, which attests to the impeccable service. This was my second time here, and I came back for the bisque. Last time we ordered the pork chop, and I remember then that it was just okay. The entrees are very expensive; therefore, they must be judged more critically. The King Cake bread pudding was outstanding, however. Skip the entree and have soup and dessert.

Delicious food. Highly recommend the watermelon salad and airline chicken. Pecan pie was good. I wish it was with ice cream. The crowd skewed fairly old, but I don't know why; food is for all ages. FYI bread is an extra charge and there is an additional fee for credit cards.

Immaculate. A term defined by perfection and exemplified by our culinary experience here. Delicious vibrant dishes and incredible service combine to create a transcendent dining extravaganza. Truly the pictures can never do service to the featured dishes. Each bite was worth every dollar spent. Come for a scintillating tongue pleasing experience and leave full and well satiated in all dimensions.

I was in New Orleans for 7 days and are 16 meals. This was by far my favorite. It's out of the way but well worth the trip. Oh, and et the Shrimp and Squash Bisque. The single best dish I had my entire time in New Orleans.

Dining at its finest in New Orleans! This place is a mainstay and I can see why, they offer fresh and flavorful food, elevating classic New Orleans dishes. Everything was amazing, from the gumbo to the bbq shrimp to the seafood platter and broiled gulf fish. For dessert, we had their pecan pie and bread pudding which was made from king cake. Leave the French Quarter and head out to Brigtsen’s!

Wow! Where to start, the place is a nice cozy home turned restaurant. Super nice staff greeted us and sat us. Very nice waiter gave us recommendations and wine pairings. To start the butternut shrimp bisque was light, balanced and flavorful. The duck a L'Orange was cooked beautifully with that crispy skin. The pork chop was seasoned perfectly and so tender. Then the pecan pie and creme brulee were just so good and flavorful and not too sweet. I just love the flavors and the balance, felt just right in each dish so not to overpower your palette. Do not miss this place on your visit or date night.

The BEST BITE we ever had in NOLA was the Barbecue Shrimp from Brigsten’s. Everyone at work chuckled when I got back home and told them it was so good, we were practically licking the sauce off the plate, so the waiter brought us more crusty bread. I can’t believe I found the recipe on YouTube! Immediately ordered Chef Paul’s Seafood Seasoning to attempt at home! How generous of you. I would keep that recipe under lock and key!! So grateful for the recommendation to try it by our waiter. He’s forever in our graces. 🙏 Dined in Thursday 10/16/25 around 7:30.

Honestly, I was not the biggest fan of the po’ boy. It was very mediocre. The bread tasted cheap and not toasted. The lettuce tasted like it came from a grocery store shredded lettuce bag. The shrimp was decent but overall I was not impressed with this place. There was a short 10-15 minute wait and not enough tables or seats to accommodate everyone visiting. The workers were very nice so I feel kinda bad about my rating but maybe with some quality changes the po’ boy can at least improve.

Sadly overhyped and underwhelming. Got the shrimp ($12) and catfish ($11.50). The bread was bland and stale, and the flavor of the shrimp and catfish were...meh. The service was great though. Also a "small" is a typical medium-sized sub, so it's plenty of food. But overall not worth the drive especially given how highly rated it is. We were disappointed.

Definitely a place to visit when you’re in New Orleans, this should be in your must to visit list! There’s so much history and culture in this small restaurant. It feels amazing to know so many former presidents went by there and many famous artists. Oh yeah, the food, it’s amazing! Definitely try the swirly fries! 🍟

Super OVERHYPED. Maybe it was great at some point in the past. Good service. But food was bland. Pretty hard to screw up shrimp Poboy..🤣 beef was lacking taste as well.

Classic New Orleans hole in the wall great food spot, in a residential neighborhood, with a line out the door, full of locals who know this is the best po-boy in town. And in New Orleans, that is a very high bar indeed

Came all the way from Pennsylvania to eat here for the second time. Unacceptable If ya,allllllllll dont want to be there. Ya,alllllll should put 630 on your hours. A women stopped by while there and said they lazy and close early all the time. Its normal for them to do that. Went to Charles Seafoods and had a better poor boi. Thank you for being lazy got me out of the tourist loop and got me a better sandwich. Maybe thats why the Lazy Saints ain't any good either.

Tiny little spot. Awesome food. Cold beer. Friendly staff. Saw this place in the movie Hell Baby and had to try it after the Po Boy eating scene. Did not disappoint. Wife got roast beef, dressed. I got shrimp, dressed. Small was big enough 1 person for sure. Fries were great too!

Small counter-service shop with inventive and unusual poboy and other sandwich options. Fast service and delicious food. We had the sweet potato poboy with collard greens and pecan/black-eye pea spread. Great idea and flavors but the collard greens overwhelmed everything else. We also had the seared shrimp poboy which was excellent in every way: crispy shrimp (and lots of them), crunchy cucumbers and carrots - a great mix of hot and cold, and different textures. Very chill place, but a bit grimy and gritty - but that’s kind of New Orleans, so not a surprise. We’ll be back to try the pork belly and the cauliflower poboys.

The Beef Debris is best poboy I've ever had. The flavor of this sandwich was like nothing I've ever had before. The seasoning of the beef along with the pickled green beans and banana peppers were out of this world. Definitely recommend!

Yeah the only thing this place killed was my wallet. Way over priced for really bad food. We tried the pork belly, which I liked bf didn’t, and the shrimp which was the worst thing that I’ve put in my mouth in New Orleans. Bf ate the shrimp off of it but not the over vinegared carrot mess of a sandwich. Should have asked locals where to go for a good poboy cause they agreed with us.

Holy cow was this good. The shrimp po boy had so many flavors. Picked carrots. Cilantro! Cooked amazing. And the smothered greens!? Great flavors and wish I woulda come back here instead of trying a po boy somewhere else. Y'all set the bar with this! Thank you!

Never heard of "PoBoy" before I visited New Orleans. Well, it is a fancy name for a baguette, but this place makes it to perfection! The bread itself was one of the best baguette I have had in the US so far. The mixture of juicy seared shrimp from the Gulf, pickled carrots, radish, cucumbers, sriracha aioli and fresh herbs was just a wonder composition and great explosion for my taste buds. Highly recommend if you like sea food! Rounded it up with a locally crafted pilsner. Thanks - those poboys are indeed killer!!! Btw I gave the atmo a full five star, because they had great music. The ambiance is more simple easy sit in lunch/dinner spot. Not very special.

Killer Poboys lives up to the name—well, at least one of them does! I tried the cauliflower po’boy first and… it was okay. A bit bland, and I only made it halfway through before I decided to move on. The potato salad was more exciting—spicy with a strong hit of dill. If you like bold, herby flavors, you’ll enjoy it (maybe not the most kid-friendly side, though). But the real MVP? The BBQ tofu po’boy. Wow. Smoky, saucy, flavorful—it completely stole the show and made me glad I gave the menu another shot. Not everything hit the mark, but I’d absolutely come back for that tofu po'boy!

It's been a few years and I finally remembered the name of this place. First off the service. Walked in before the lunch rush and was greeted terribly. Staff seemed disengaged and not happy to be there. Did not really want to respond to questions. For the food. I ordered a Shrimp PoBoy with Collard Greens as the side along with a "Sweet Tea". For the tea I was given iced tea and was told to squeeze High Fructose Corn Syrup in the cup from squeeze bottles off to the right of the counter. That stuff doesn't blend well with cold. Back to the food itself the portion vs cost is terrible I remember paying $17 for a 6in PoBoy, side and a drink. The breading lacked seasoning and the shrimp was partially dry. Bread was pretty good however. The most damning part of the meal though was the Collard Greens. I don't know how it happened and I don't care to know, but they were BURNT. I have had a lot of soul food over the years and never have I been served burnt Greens. Eventually I may travel back to Nola to try food there again thanks to Chimetime and give this place a redemption arc. I will never order collards here again though. It may have been an off day for y'all and I understand things happen. Inwish the business well, just wanted to leave MY opinion.

We had the collard greens melt, the vegan chicken sandwich, crinkle fries, and the cabbage salad. Everything was DELICIOUS!! Super flavorful and unique. If you’re a meat lover, you won’t miss the meat on the collard greens melt or the vegan chicken sandwich. I loved the ingredients and texture of the cabbage salad - it had a nice kick too. It has a funky and fun atmosphere - loved it!

This place lives up to the hype. The sandwiches are unreal. The ingredients are fresh, innovative and seem like they are locally sourced. I had the ham sandwich with two-year aged cheddar, a cranberry mayo and lettuce on a Virginian bread. It was great! The fries were seafood style and had great crunch and salt, but definitely could benefit from more sauce options. The only options are ketchup packets and dukes mayo. The drinks were a surprise for me. They were quite delicious. I had the daily special which was a banana daiquiri. It was so refreshing and really tasted like raw banana. I absolutely recommend to everyone that you should try having lunch here while you are in NOLA!

Lemme tell y’all something… This place right here is one helluva hidden gem!! We hit this spot on our 10yr anniversary for a quick bite because the offered a vegan chick’n sandwich. Holy moly are we glad we did. Is it slightly off the beaten path? Sure. Is it 1000% worth it? ABSOLUTELY!! We walked up and saw a line out the door and following along the footprint of the building. This, is a good sign! Then all the Grateful Dead stickers on the door… ANOTHER good sign. Inside was more of the amazing atmosphere. Then the food…. Folks, that Chick’n sandwich.. I’m tellin ya. If you’re in the area HIT THEM UP. If you’re close to the area HIT THEM UP. If you’re nowhere close, COME DOWN AND HIT THEM UP!!!

Wow, this sandwich joint is as authentic as we had read about in the media, and more. It has been a week since we had lunch there and I am still savoring the collard green melt sandwich I enjoyed. It’s a 10 out of 10 sandwich. It’s something you won’t forget, just like your first kiss with your future spouse, and I have been married for 37 years! The owner took our order which arrived shortly later. During our lunch I watched the owner and his staff do everything from bus tables, deliver orders and work efficiently. There is seating inside and out. They are only open for lunch, so work it into your schedule while in NOLA.

This was one of our top destinations in NOLA (as my bf calls it, Sandwich Mecca) and it did not disappoint. Fried bologna sandwich, hand pot pie, and a headcheese taco had us fat and happy. An absolute must-eat in a city full of good food!

This spot came highly recommended and it lives up to every inch of the hype! Food was all VERY generous portions, sauces were fresh and bright (the vegan chicken’s sauce with fresh dill was my favorite!) collard greens were perfectly cooked. Highly recommend trying this spot!

This place is a must! Highly recommend the fried bologna sandwich and the collard greens & Swiss sandwich. The deep-fried chicken pot pie was delicious as well. Great food in a fun atmosphere.

I've been to New Orleans seven times and this is my first time trying the Muffuletta! And I wanted it from the place that created it, Central Grocery and Deli! The Muffuletta was great! We all loved it! Even my grandson and he's a picky eater. The Muffuletta was huge, could easily feed four people.

I had the Mufoletta which I really enjoyed. I bought the 1/4 section because a whole one can feed an adult family of 4. The service was good and friendly. The atmosphere was very casual. The prices were fair. I will revisit if I ever visit NOLA again.

Cool little shop to visit while in New Orleans. They say this is where the original muffaletta was invented. We ordered 1 whole muffaletta to split between my wife & I and still had half leftover after we both filled up on a quarter of the sandwich each.

The Muffuletta is the greatest!! The original in NOLA so it's a must try, incredibly tasty and substantial. A whole muffuletta is like a cake, round and split in 4 quarters. My husband and I shared one half muffuletta, which is split in 2 quarters and the perfect size for 2 people. It's absolutely delicious full of tasty Italian meats, cheese and briny olives. The shop has a seating area inside, or you can take it to go as it's sold neatly packed. The deli shop sells some cool goodies including the olive salad they put in muffulettas. Loved this place!

I came here intentionally, knowing this was the home.of the original Muffuletta. The old time feel of this deli was wonderful, the sandwich, well I took a card when I found out I could have these sandwiches shipped! It was sooooo good!!

Finally made it here I'm not a big olive fan so I wish I could have had a sandwich without it but hubby ate all of mine and it was good Service from staff was awesome One if the cleanest bathroom I've been in while ilon my visit

Amazing Muffulleta - Best by far in New Orleans! I ate multiple Muffuletta's while here in NOLA and none come even close to the taste, flavor, and seasoning as the Original home of the Mufalleta (go figure). For me, the difference is the bread, the quality of meat, the volume and quality of the toppings, and the seasoning/oil. Everywhere else I ate the Muffuletta, the bread was thinner and didn't have the same flavor and fresh bread taste as what you'd find in a bakery. Central Grocery's bread tasted like something you'd get fresh from a high-quality bakery, which any sandwich maker knows the bread is one of the most important aspects of the sandwich. The second difference is the quality of the meat. Anyone who goes to a traditional deli, especially like in New York knows the difference between high quality meat and low quality meat which can be tasted immediately. The same thing is true with the cheese. At Central grocery, it's clear they have one of the highest quality meat selections in New Orleans which generally makes the Sandwich a completely different and higher quality taste. Also, they sell the highest quality ingredients including fresh high-quality pickles, olives, and a bunch of other condiments separately, like what a bakery or specialized grocery store would have. The quality of the olives alone along with the other condiments, take the flavor and taste of the sandwich above the others I ate. Lastly is the seasoning and oil used on the bread and meat. Every other Muffulleta I ate in New Orleans literally tasted dry, even though the cheese was melted. It was because they all lacked the oil and seasoning that is used at Central Grocery, where even without the cheese being melted, the sandwich is moist and delicious. I thought I'd have to eat it heated which I did try as well. But in all honesty, I can eat it completely cold as it is provided and it tasted just as good due to the volume of oil and seasoning used on the bread and meat. When purchased you can get the muffuletta in either a half or a full and each comes with heating instructions. If you do decide to heat it, it's worth trying & makes it equally delicious. I prefer crunchier bread versus softer bread where the top and bottom is crunchy but the middle is soft and fluffy so that's the way I made it when heating it, but it comes with instructions to keep the bread soft if preferred. I normally eat a foot long hoagie sub when eating a sandwich and I could only finish half of the sandwich since it is huge! (See the attached photo and note that the plate used in the photo is a large dinner plate). Overall, I didn't find another Muffuletta place that made could even compare to the original at Central Grocery, but I'll keep looking. Either way, if you are visiting New Orleans and you like a quality sandwich with fresh baked bread, high quality deli and ingredients, and amazing seasoning, you need to make a stop at Central Grocery!

I've been there twice. Each time, it was great. Excellent food. Friendly, smiling, non-intrusive staff. The music is cool and not overly loud, as is often the case, and the decor is really nice. What's more, service is prompt after ordering. The best place I've ever eaten in NOLA, everything was perfect.

Food, atmosphere etc. was amazing. Service was 10x better. Our attending waitress was MK and she was insanely attentive, kind, and helpful in giving recommendations on where to go during our time in NOLA. We went to at least four of her recommendations and loved all of them. The food was stellar; fresh, came fast, smelled amazing, tasted even better. Not if, WHEN I come back to NOLA I will come back to Cochon and I hope to see MK again to thank her for her hospitality!!!

TLDR: Cochon Butcher has always been a local legend, and now with a Michelin Bib Gourmand which is well deserved. I have been coming to Cochon Butcher ever since the late, great Anthony Bourdain recommended it, and it has only gotten better over time. Fast forward to 2025, and seeing them finally receive a Michelin Bib Gourmand feels like well earned recognition. I brought my wedding party here for our rehearsal lunch, and it could not have gone better. The staff was incredible. We called ahead since we had a large group, and they kindly reserved a section for us so we could enjoy our meal together. Everyone was blown away by how exceptional the food was for what is considered “fast casual.” We practically ordered the entire menu, from the BBQ shrimp to the Cochon Muffaletta, the Cochon burger, and the boudin links. Every single dish was outstanding. The flavors, the portions, and the consistency were all on point. The drink menu deserves special mention too. The beer, wine, and cocktail list is excellent. The Hogwash Old Fashioned was the star of the show. The glass is rinsed with pork fat before mixing, giving it a subtle smoky depth that makes it unforgettable. We chose to sit outside since it was a beautiful day, and it made the experience even more enjoyable. Surrounded by good friends, great food, and the relaxed energy of New Orleans, it was a meal to remember. Michelin may have just discovered Cochon Butcher, but we have known for years that it is something special.

One of the best meals in New Orleans! Especially if you really like meat. 🙂 Very casual, warm, and welcoming environment here. You walk into the place and order at the counter. (Usually a little like but it goes by fast!) employees at the counter are so great and helpful if you need assistance with the menu and making decisions. MK, our fellow Philly girl!, took great care of us and helped me pick out some options. You get a number and find a table wherever to sit. Inside and outside options, but so be aware it’s majority high top tables so not the most accessible. It’s well staffed here, with the staff working as a team, so everything feels very efficient. We got several charcuterie and sausage options, a side of mac and cheese, and the Monday blue plate special which was red beans & rice with fried pork chops. Everything was 10/10. Highly recommend getting a charcuterie or sausage sampler. The boudin and duck pastrami were big standouts for us. Homemade pickles were a sneaky standout, loved them. I really really wanted to try a sandwich as well, it seemed that’s what most people were ordering and the options were really creative. For two people, our large amount of food was about $55. Without drinks. Well worth for the quality and lovely experience!

Food: good. Would come again. Service: exceptional! Wonderful and attentive service from staff. Atmosphere: loved it. Not too loud that would inhibit you from having a decent conversation. Enjoyed my old fashion

DO NOT stop at the first cochon restaurant sign. CONTINUE DOWN THE STREET to the butchery sign. It's worth the extra 100 feet. After accidentally going to the "restaurant," we continued to the "butchery" and had the best time. We ordered the pork belly sandwich. Delish! Came with a spicy aioli and pickles. The atmosphere is fun. Part pig, part star wars. The service was even better. The only disappointment was the sugar cane dr.pepper.

Highly recommended place and did not disappoint Cochon Butcher (Not the restaurant) is such a chill place with amazing food and good time vibes. I visited this place for lunch during a Tuesday afternoon. Don't be scare if you see a long queue waiting to order. They take care of customers relatively fast. The menu was fairly simple but still plenty options. From charcuterie to handhelds and desserts. They also have a bar area that seemed impressive. I ordered the BBQ Pork and Pancetta Sandwiches. The bread itself is delicious and the protein superb. The sides makes a good complement to round up flavors. My bill was about $50 including tip and the service staff is efficient. I am definitely planning to come back during my stay in NOLA.

I really love the tiramisu cake here! It’s always delicious and consistent. I keep coming back not just for the tiramisu, but also for the blueberry tart and cheesecake, which are equally amazing. The desserts are always fresh, beautifully presented, and perfectly balanced in flavor. The staff is friendly. Highly recommended for anyone who enjoys quality desserts!

Worth the wait! We had a fresh fruit tart, baba rhum cake, and tiramisu gelato...all three were delightful!

Great variety and flavors. Was recommend to us by local restaurant staff for dessert.

Best Italian pastries around. The best canolli in the world. The canollis are better tasting than in Italy 🇮🇹

I grew up eating at Angelo Bracottas. The cannolis are perfection and everything in the store Is outstanding. A perfect ending to a perfect night out. I always recommend visitors to the city to go there for a special treat.

I really can't say enough good things about this place. I started going here roughly 6 years ago when I started grad school at the University of New orleans. It's my absolute favorite bakery. Everything they have is delicious. I literally have never had anything bad at this bakery. The gelato is incredible. The sweets are great. The Spumoni is incredible. The people are incredibly friendly. I've come in so many times by now that they know me. Absolutely wonderful place. It's usually so don't be surprised if there is a bit of a line, but it's absolutely worth it. If you know the right times to pop in, however, you can walk right up without any wait. Prices are beyond reasonable. I will get a box of stuff and it will be around $20. Great place to take a date if they don't mind a little bit of a crowd from time to time. Highly recommend brocato's. I will continue to be a patron as long as possible. I'm literally leaving the bakery now with the bag full of goodies.

The epitome of local love and hospitality. Their ice is absolutely fantastic and always with the ripest in season fruit. Their baked goods are delicious and service is fantastic. Hope they're in business another 120 years. Nothing comes close.

I did not expect a tiny little burger grill to be the place I hit up twice in a 2 day trip to NOLA but this beef burger was one of the best I have ever had in my life so couldn’t help myself. I don’t even understand how or why it was as good as it was because it looks like any old burger but it was seriously amazing. Just simple food with every detail done to absolute perfection I guess. My partner had the chicken sandwhich our first visit and said it was a 10/10 too. The vibe here is great, super cute interior and the location is so close to where you’re probably gonna be on bourbon street so easy to pop in and I highly reccomend you do. I also want to comment on the service from the staff as I did see quite a few comments talking this down - both times we went we had a diffeeent server and they were both really lovely and attentive. They were friendly, Made sure we had everything we needed and seemed to genuinely care about delivering good service which wasn’t the case everywhere we went in the French quarter. 10/10, you gotta go here at least once but more likely, you’ll end up back twice.

Kat was phenomenal. She welcomed everyone inside and got our group of four seated quickly. She took our drink order, and made us laugh right off the bat. Very pleased to have her attend to our lunch, which was extremely delicious. I had the special club with bacon, ham, turkey, two types of cheese, mayo, tomato, and lettuce. Two of us had the beef burger with cheese, one with fries, and one with onion rings. Our fourth order was the corn dog, all of which were great options. Kat kept the entire diner clean as people checked out, picking up dishes and cleaning the tables in a prompt manner. I would love to come back as we enjoyed our experience here.

Walked in on Sunday afternoon with my husband, daughter, and father in law. I didn’t get her name, but the red haired manager/server acknowledged us and we sat down right away. Ordered 2 club sandwiches, and the breakfast burger. While I am not a fan of eggs, I did take a bite of the breakfast burger and had my socks blown off! Even though I was eating the best club sandwich I’ve ever eaten, I wish I had ordered the breakfast burger. Our conversation with the lady was even better. As a tourist, I had a million questions lol. Probably the best conversation out of the entire visit to NOLA/Louisiana. Really enjoyed the camaraderie she showed us, and the vibe of the entire place was fantastic!!! Would definitely eat here again!!!

This was one of my favorite burger spots, but I got a breakfast burger with a live roach or beetle or whatever type of insect that is. When I showed the server this, he promised to comp the meal and give us a new one. Obviously I didn’t want it, but he insisted. Because I agreed to the replacement meal that I did not want I was then required to pay the full price, when the check came. It was 4 am and I was too tired to argue. It ruined it for me it’s one of the best burgers in America but now how many times did I eat a bug and not know?

Amazing, cheap, fast and delicious food. Felt like a nostalgic throwback despite being a foreigner, like this was the closest I was going to get to a true American diner experience. Loved it and is one of the meals I think about a lot from our trip in NOLA.

Great service. Excellent grub any time of day. A special nod to the breakfast burger which is enormous and tasty! There pour a mean cup of coffee, too!

Absolutely loved this gem. Excellent service, delicious breakfast at affordable prices. Loved the history of this joint, it's 24 hours and no cash. Small spot with counter space and a few tables. Hit the spot, right on time. Every staff member was great.

This was a cozy restaurant with good food and inventive cocktails. The food was good, but felt like it was missing that ‘something’ to bump it to great. The signature cocktails were definitely new and used combos you don’t see elsewhere. The service was okay. The server was nice, but they seemed understaffed for a Friday night. We ended up waiting 20 minutes for dessert to come after ordering. Given the competition in NOLA, there are other places that hit all the boxes.

This restaurant lives up to the hype. It's worth making a reservation and spending an evening here trying different dishes. The bread with fresh butter is a great start. The peach & coppa is an explosion of flavors. The smoky peppers give it a real kick and the sweet peaches and prosciutto balance well. The blue crab gnocchi is delicious. The smoked short ribs are perfectly cooked. We finished with pannacotta and peaches. We loved everything we ordered!

Wow, phenomenal meal! From the inviting atmosphere nestled in the heart of the Garden district to the superb and attentive service to the best part- unbelievable food with a modern twist on American cuisine, Coquette was a great experience. Cocktails were on point and each dish offered a unique flavor. I never had yellowtail carpaccio, but it was delicious. And I never knew I needed an heirloom cucumber salad, but the added tuna provided a necessary, salty balance. The steak was cooked to perfection, medium rare, and the chocolate cake was divine. If you’re looking for a fancy and upscale restaurant regarding district, this is a must.

I love this little gem in the Irish channel. it's a cozy spot, great for a date night or intimate group dinner with 6 people or less. Every drink was great, every dish was delicious! they even have a selection of "mocktails" for those who don't or can't indulge. we will certainly dine here again. I recommend the Smoked Tomato Gazpacho, the Peaches&Coppa, the Ricotta Gnocchi, and the New York Strip which will be cooked to perfection. 👌

Love this spot! Fantastic food, service and wine selection. Perfect recommendations from the “wine guy” and each dish was so well thought through. So glad we added this to our weekend itinerary in New Orleans, Deffinitely a highlight. Would highly recommend and will visit again next time in town.

When a restaurant has a smaller menu like this I expect every item to be good. I ordered the shrimp risotto which had only two shrimp in the whole dish and was extremely bland. Multiple people at my table got the fish and it was also incredibly bland. The prices are high for what you get. Our server was not very friendly and the service itself was slow… even on a slow night. Wouldn’t recommend.

We went on a Thursday night, and we had just a great time. The food and drinks are inventive without being pretentious. We're still arguing over whether the peaches and coppa could have been better balanced, but I loved it regardless. The potato-crusted flounder was the best dish we had that whole weekend, when we also ate at GW Fins. The chef even stopped by to ask how we liked the food. What's there to complain about?

My partner and I loved Sylvain. The atmosphere was amazing—special thanks to the hostess for seating us by the window. We started with the mixed green salad, which set the tone for a great meal. Cocktails were spot on, and the burger was one of the best I’ve had in recent memory. The snapper had perfectly crispy skin and paired beautifully with the chilled salad underneath. I wasn’t a fan of the chocolate cake, but my lady loved it—so that’s still a win in my book.

What a wonderful place to have dinner with my daughter! The food was delicious, we split a burger & chicken sandwich. The chicken sandwich was excellent as were the fries. The burger was ok. And golly the cornbread! Yum! My daughter enjoyed an Old Fashioned and I had a Mule Mocktail. Great atmosphere! Our server, Courtney was awesome! Super friendly, attentive and just made our evening out perfect!

What a great gem of a restaurant. Stopped in on a Friday night for a late dinner. Had the shrimp remoulade for an app and split the chicken sandwich for dinner. Expresso martini and sazerac were great openers for cocktails. It started raining so we moved inside to the bar. Fun experience!

Nestled just off Chartres Street, Sylvain is one of my go-to spots when wandering the Quarter. The menu serves up elevated American fare that never misses, and the drinks? Always flowing, always on point. The bartender—whose name escapes me— is genuinely the sweetest, and the service from alleyway to host is consistently top-tier. The patio is a dream: cozy, inviting, and perfect for lingering over a meal. If you’re strolling by, give this place a try. Sylvain is a quiet classic.

WOW! That’s what I thought after only my first bite of food! We didn’t have a reservation but still were seated, and during the weekend before Halloween it was fun to see people eating in their costumes. It’s packed tight but for good reason, for good food! I got the short rib and I’m so glad I did! It was the perfect portion and the meat was so dang tender and the veggies paired perfectly. It really elevated my vacation.

Very cute. Very authentic. Very not your run-of-the-mill eatery. My husband and I ate here last Tuesday and we can't wait to come back! The ambiance was adorable and the staff was extremely likeable. Our waitress was so easygoing and funny! Her recommendations were on point, too: we had the short rib, and for cocktails, we each had an army navy, which neither of us had had before-- it was delicious! 10 out of 10 would recommend to anyone looking for a relaxed atmosphere with great service and great music.

These were the best fries of my entire life. 6 of us ordered 3 baskets. We couldn’t stop. The service was great. The cocktails were perfect. My favorite was the Not Spicy. Big fan will recommend for people looking for a great cocktail or great pub style food.

My cousin and I were craving something sweet and Creole Creamery filled this craving. As we pulled up I noticed the buildings 1940s/50s architecture and design. I love that they kept the history alive with keeping the outer structure intact. This continued inside the building with the strong red brick, long ice cream counter, and photos. The street was parked up, so we parked across the street, which had tons of open parking. Upon walking in we were encouraged to try samples. I tried their cookies monster and cookies and cream. Both were amazing and I could not decide! The lady that assisted helped as I was able to get one scoop with both flavors. Omg! Them together was super delicious! The mix of the chocolate, cookies, and cream was heaven! My cousin got their red velvet and it was just as creamy, cool, and delicious. We really liked that they were not super and sweet. The price was not bad as for one amble scoop was a little over $4! This is the spot!

If your looking for a good ice cream shop this is a great choice! Lots of choices of ice cream and the line although normally long it moves fast! Employees have always been kind and helpful! I got the chocolate amaretto cheesecake ice cream in a sundae, my husband the banana split. And my daughter a scoop of the chocolate amaretto ice cream!

It’s the most iconic ice cream spot in New Orleans for a reason. Alongside the classic flavors, they offer some truly unique options. I tried the saffron rose cardamom (bastani), matcha strawberry, and olive oil salt- all were absolutely delicious!!!! It was busy, but we still found a seat. Highly recommend!

Best ice cream in uptown! I took a chance and I’m so glad we found the best ice cream place. The ice cream is out of this world good. Best treat on any hot day. Notable mentions the petit ice cream and the banana cheesecake, insane!

Piper is an absolute gem! From the moment we walked in, she greeted us with a warm smile and genuine enthusiasm. She was incredibly patient, knowledgeable about all the flavors, and helped us choose the perfect scoops. Her energy made the whole experience even sweeter. You can tell she truly loves what she does, and it reflects in the way she treats customers. Piper is the kind of person who makes you want to come back—not just for the ice cream, but for the great service. Thank you, Piper, for making our visit extra special!

I looooooooove Creole Creamery. It’s a post-exam staple for me. Their ice cream is truly the best reward after a stressful week. They always have new flavors on rotation, and sometimes they get a little bit weird with it, which I love. I will always try a weird ice cream flavor, and they’re almost always good. The service is great, especially since it’s always so crowded and the employees work so hard and so quickly to get everyone’s orders filled.

Came here with the kiddos and really enjoyed our treat! They have a lot of different options—really unique flavors & their ice cream isn’t overly sweet. I went with the junior sundae. Nice portion size, the single scoop is pretty large. Also tried the Creole Strawberry, amazingly delicious! Can get quite crowded so seating can be problematic. Staff were friendly & attentive. Love that you can sample! Will be back.

One of my local friends recommend this place, and I'm so glad they did. The food was amazing, came out quickly, and cooked to perfection. The staff was also super friendly. Definitely will be stopping by next time I'm in town.

We had breakfast everyday here during our recent trip in New Orleans. That tells you how much we loved this place. Great food, superb service, reasonable prices and good vibe. It’s always a bit tricky for vegetarians to find food in the Southern states, but there are a couple of options at this restaurant. They could also do gluten-free buns!

My my my, best chicken and waffles ever. Best fried chicken of my life and them grits.. normally I put salt, pepper and butter on my grits. Don't mess with these grits y'all, they're perfect the way they get dropped on your table. This is your perfect little hole in the wall restaurant that has the most delicious food.

Breakfast this morning was absolutely outstanding! Thank you, Adam and your team for a wonderful dining experience! Definitely will visit again when I’m back in New Orleans. Looking forward to trying other menu options. If they are anything like I experienced this morning, I can’t wait to try them. Thanks again for everything!

The staff at this location is so friendly and attentive! The food was fresh and yummy! And there wasn’t a wait. I love this location!

The place had a nice vibe and the food overall was okay, but we personally didn’t enjoy the waffle and pancake — they had a weird sour taste that wasn’t for us. Everything else was fine, just not quite what we expected from brunch classics.

Great place to get breakfast or brunch in New Orleans. I got the pancake puffs with lemon. I feel like it’s more of a sharing plate, but it’s one of the items on the menu that popped out to me. The lemon sauce was pretty good, I think I prefer beignets over pancake puffs but again it was too cute not to order. I’ll definitely come back and order their savory dishes though.

I had the pleasure of visiting their store in New Oregon and it was a great experience. I had the salted caramel cake and the girlfriend had a chocolate cake. We got our fair share and more. I got my sister some bakery goods and she loved them. The service and atmosphere was good 😁. My next visit to New Orleans, I will be going back!

We're on a road trip and had to stop by a laundry. While waiting for clothes I noticed this bakery across the street. Went in to get a cup of coffee and had my mind blown. Very nicely laid out with a great vibe, lively but you can still carry a conversation. Waitstaff were extremely friendly and helpful with suggestions. The chocolate cake and coffee were absolutely delicious. Met one of the principals as she was checking the displays. Had a very friendly conversation as I am an old baker. Love to see ownership on top of there product. In this town where there seems to be a pastry shop every two blocks I highly recommend this establishment. You won't be disappointed.

This place is legit. Coffee and pastries executed to perfection. Best coffee I’ve had in a while. Delicious! The lemon tart had the right acidity and sweetness. The cream puff was on point. That chocolate filling was velvety. I want more!!! The staff super friendly and quick too.

This was one of the weirdest dining experiences of my life. My friend has significant nut and poppyseed allergy and asked to change bread on the sandwich to accommodate. Two different staff members said this was not possible and they were not allowed to change breads. Instead, they provided a mini baguette, uncut and un-toasted, and all the parts of the sandwich for us to put together. It makes no sense that the restaurant couldn’t just make the sandwich with a different bread. I still gave it three stars because the other sandwiches were quite good but I wouldn’t recommend going there if you have allergies.

We absolutely love this charming French-style bakery, with its delightful range of croissants 🥐 and pastries. I highly recommend trying the ham & cheese or almond croissant—both are perfectly buttery and crisp, just as a proper breakfast pastry should be. A must-visit for anyone craving an authentic French experience!

We ve been here for breakfast: I liked my lamb-sandwich very much. The salmon Bagel tasted good, but the bagel itself was very chewy. Sweets like the bread pudding are great, the cream on the chocolate Tarts tastes sour. We also grabbed some bread, cause we wished it is crusty... But it is not. Same softbread like anywhere in US. Overall to pricy in my opinion

La Boulangerie is a gem. The staff are incredibly friendly and efficient, ensuring quick service. Their sandwiches are a standout, made with freshly baked bread that perfectly complements the flavorful, well-balanced fillings. Highly recommended for those who appreciate quality and great service!

Luizza's by the Track has incredible food with bold flavors that really hit the spot. The atmosphere is lively and welcoming, and the service was solid. I’d give it 4 stars—not a perfect experience, but definitely worth a visit for the food alone.

Small place but was able to easily walk in and sit at a table on a Friday evening. Food came so quick and was SO GOOD would highly suggest the sweet potato fries. Vibes are all there, jeopardy was on and all the tables were into it and guessing answers - it was a great place to have dinner!

Got a bowl of gumbo and the fried green tomatoes. The fried green tomatoes were amazing!!! Would highly recommend those. The gumbo was OK as well, not my favorite — was a bit on the thinner side. The service was great! It’s a small place and the tables do tend to fill up quickly, so might have a little bit of a wait.

There is a reason why this place is famous. The food is delicious and the atmosphere is 10/10. We loved the waitress, Kaysee. She told us that the gumbo here has been made by the same man for 30 years. I got the BBQ shrimp po’boy that was more like a sweet BBQ po’boy. It’s a little oily but worth it! The apple crisp with a la mode which was AMAZING!! Definitely recommend the oyster po’boy, the gumbo, and the Ruben corned beef and the fried green tomatoes also.

One of the best gumbo I’ve ever tried. My only regret was ordering a cup instead of a bowl, but I had to leave some room for my shrimp po’boy, which was excellent. This was my first time trying it. Also, the beer being ice cold made things more enjoyable. Highly recommended!

I visited for a New Orleans style meal during my trip! I waited a little, but they were kind enough to guide me and the food was delicious! The signature shrimp po-boy was a little salty and the fried oyster po-boy came out with oyster shells, but I enjoyed it!

The BBQ Shrimp sauce is amazing. We also had the bisque that was on the specials board and the shrimp remoulade.

Hands down the best meal we had in New Orleans! I highly recommend the Wagyu flat iron steak - best I have ever had. The sauce was delicious! We also had the pappardelle and red plums for dessert. I am glad we had reservations as the restaurant was busy. Service was good.

The squid ink pasta was amazing, and the ragu was also very good. The atmosphere was great, and the service was friendly. We were there on a Tuesday and it was packed—we didn’t have a reservation but managed to get a seat at the bar. Highly recommend!

Outstanding modern Italian restaurant, the prices are moderate but flavors and service were exceptional. I had the house made squid ink pasta with shrimp and it was one of the best pasta dishes I've ever had. My fiance had the butter chicken with greens and it was very good as well. Next time I'm in New Orleans I'm coming back to Paladar 511.

Came here with a few friends for brunch while visiting from out of town. I got the Huevos Rancheros and an orange mimosa. The food and drink were fantastic and I enjoyed the open seating and kitchen areas a lot. Service was prompt and our server was kind while informing me there was no code to the bathroom despite my friends pranking me saying there was. 5 stars from me!

Absolutely love this Italian restaurant in the edge of the French quarter. Very hip and fun vibe on the inside of this vaulted ceiling converted commercial space. The wait staff was friendly and welcoming. Our food was fantastic, we had the giant ranchini ball and it was crispy yet moist and tender on the inside with the beef ragu.. We had the wagyu steak as well as the margarita pizza. We absolutely loved their gluten-free flourless cake together with two heaping scoops of hazelnut ice cream and fresh whipping cream. Absolutely five stars!!

5 of us dined at Paladar 511 on a Thursday night. The place filled up, so make reservations! A pretty dining room surrounds the open kitchen. Staff were attentive and helpful, up until it came time to pay the bill, when they disappeared. It took way too long to settle up. They don’t do separate checks so prepare to do math. The food: Autumn squash salad —delicious but too much onion. Lettuces salad—delicious but a touch too acidic. Arancini-delicious. Hot buttered chicken main-outstanding! Baked cannelloni-very good. Two of us were excited for caccio et peppe (a simple but deceptively difficult dish to make) and got it as a main. Alas, it was not caccio et peppe. The pasta was an open fusilli when we were expecting a sturdy spaghetti. No sauce, just butter with cracked peppers, and a sprinkle of Parmesan on top. My friend called it butter pasta which is more fitting than caccio et peppe. Between the disappointing caccio et peppe and the annoying bill paying, I give it 4 stars. But we would return as it overall was very nice.

We shared 3 starters between 2 of us and it was the perfect amount of food. The Autumn Squash was really tasty. The pork belly was so good, wish it were bigger.

This restaurant is really close to my house so I can't believe my first time going was yesterday. I started off with the Thai tea boba with rum and the queso appetizer. Both were really good but I'd prefer more roti and no cracklins or shrimp chips. For the entree I got the yellow curry with chicken and it was virtually flavorless. I kept trying to add salt and pepper but it just didn't do the trick. I could tell it had potential though but it was just something missing. My friend got the sesame cucumbers for her appetizer which were really fresh and light. She also got the shrimp and grits and it's definitely an acquired flavor so I can't really describe it but I wasn't a fan

I love MOPHO, I’m a long time customer and I’ve eaten on plenty occasions rather dining in or take-out. I had the Traditional Chicken Pho / Shrimp add-on / (2) hard boiled eggs. Great date night spot!

Was in the area and decided to try this restaurant with a friend. The restaurant was clean on the outside, which was good. The inside is a nice quaint spot, a decent size, and the atmosphere was inviting. There was no wait. We were seated quickly. It also has outdoor seating. The server, her name is Carol, was friendly and knowledgeable about the food. She allowed us to try the Jasmine tea after we asked about a flavor tea or lemonade. She was able to explain the menu and was very patient with us because we had several questions. 😆 The food - we ordered the cabbage kimchi (I think that's what it's called), my first time having it, and it was pretty good. I also ordered the oyster bowl with the noodles. It was really tasty, had a sweetness to it, and the oysters were fried just right. I could definitely eat that again. My friend had the chicken bowl, she was pleased. The jasmine tea wasn't bad, but the jasmine was an after taste and not an initial taste so it wasn't for me. But hey, someone else might enjoy it! The restroom-the restroom is small, it has 2 stalls, but it was clean. I would recommend this restaurant.

Fusion Vietnamese with a seasonal menu. Everything on their current menu sounded so good I had a hard time selecting. We ended with the nuac nam chicken bites, crispy green beans, and the beef brisket and P&J oyster buns. The chicken bites were really good, we found ourselves putting that sauce on the rest of our meal. The Korean beef brisket bao buns were a close second. I was disappointed in the green beans. They weren't breaded, so not that crispy. And the curry sauce wasn't hitting all the flavors. Most of the dishes were missing something out of the sweet, salty, umami, spicy combo. That balance is what I enjoy the most from Vietnamese food. My friend was talking to the newish server, telling her about past experiences there and how much things have changed. She informed us they were changing again as they were in the process of making a new menu. I did want to try the hot honey vindaloo, maybe they'll keep it. Worth a return trip to try new things.

Great option for a lunch date in City Park! So many GF accommodations and special precautions. I gobbled the fried green beans, chicken bowl & amazing pork pho. Staff and service were superb! I highly recommend this restaurant

Four stars because of the wait and it was a little difficult to get a hold of our waiter but otherwise I definitely want to come back here! I got the steamed brisket buns which were a sort of tacos of sort and my friend got the Crispy chicken sandwich. The food is very delicious, and I need to try the wings when I come back. It’s a very cute modern vibes restaurant and was a nice end to the day after visiting city park.

Best Hangover Soup! 🍜 This people made a combination of ramen and pho that is to die for! And as the name says, it’s great for those hangover days! But besides that dish, that have so many other Asian dishes with a Louisiana touch! Especially their fried oysters 🦪 appetizer! They also have bubble tea 🧋 and some great alcoholic drinks! 🍸 it’s the whole package! Get drunk and come later to get better! 🤣

We visited with our kids for lunch and had a fantastic time! Everyone was super friendly and welcoming. We got the catfish and fried chicken with some nice sides. I highly recommend the chicken, collards, and catfish with the crayfish roulade (worth the upcharge). I will say it was a bit loud for our baby, but otherwise was a delightful family experience!

Fabulous food, friendly service, and great mission! We had the fried catfish with collards and onion rings plus the Thursday special of shrimp and white beans. It was all excellent. The onion rings were the best I’ve ever tasted!

You must patronize this business!!! The cause and everything it represents is AMAZING in itself, but the FOOOODDD!! The food is so delicious with so many options of savory goodness to choose from you will sinfully full when you leave. Great service and beyond delicious appetizers, entrees and desserts. I recommend the turkey necks, greens and peach cobbler. However you can do no wrong with any selection made.

This place was amazing! By far the best food we had in NOLA. Price was good, drinks were great, and I will dream about those crab cakes! The gumbo was the best of 5 different restaurants. My husband is still bemoaning the fact that they were closed on Sunday and we couldn't go again. Plus their mission is worth supporting. 5 star dining for a 3 star price. Go support them because I desperately need them to still be there when we visit again.

This has got to be the best comfort food that is pretty, I've ever had. It's top notch, right up there with those high end places. Beautiful inside. I recommend the fried turkey necks. Just try them, I promise you will want more! Very tender, meat, fell right off the bone. Fried green tomato sandwich was a 10 out of 10. So delicious. The bacon was cooked the way it should be so when you bite in to the sandwich, a strip of bacon doesn't come out, only the bite. The tomatoes were done perfect and that jalapeno cornbread toast it was served on? Delicious, not dry, just perfect. If you're ever in New Orleans, you must go. You won't be disappointed. We are going back for lunch tomorrow. This non - profit does a great job with the employees who get a 2nd chance. These kids are going somewhere, they are great chefs, hosts and servers. I would imagine some will go on to own their own restaurant.

Have been wanting to try this place for a long time especially considering their mission. Their hours of operation are a little difficult for the 9-5 time, but finally made it out. Everything was fresh to order. Staff were friendly. They have indoor seating, parking is street parking. The building vibe is loft style, with high ceilings which made the place feel spacious. It was a busy time however we were seated quickly. I think they put a lot of detail into the place. Really enjoyed the fried turkey necks and the sweet potato fries. Would go back for those.

Best shrimp PoBoy, Gumbo, fried chicken !! Turkey necks were fantastic !! Make a reservation !

3.7 stars. We opted for something other than Cajun and found Dian Xin. Simple, small venue serving seriously good food. Slight knock on the atmosphere as about a third of the way through lunch, we all started to get hot as there was little circulation in the restaurant even though they had fans on. The soup dumplings, wings, and honey walnut shrimp were perfect! Definitely worth eating here if you get an Asian craving.

It is a nice casual Asian place. Food was great — we had beef eggplants and wonton soup, — both amazing. They have better selection of drinks that you would expect and prices are very reasonable, especially as for the French Quarter. The only reason why I rated it 4*, I do really prefer my food served in a not chipped tableware.

One of our favorite places in New Orleans. Dian Xin was a good combination of comfort food with unique twist. I enjoyed the shrimp and crawfish dumplings. I’ve never seen that before. They were huge dumplings I’m not used to seeing. The taste was great too. Hot n sour soup was a surprise. I have a general baseline for this type of soup as they can all taste the same but this one was a great balance of sour and savory. The soup itself is a meal in its own since it comes with a lot in it. Lastly, the jianbing was great. I haven’t had one since I’ve been to Chicago, and this one was just as good as the one I found in Chinatown. The braised beef was tender and I loved the sweet sauce they put in it. A huge plus with Dian Xin was their anime theme. They were playing anime intro songs all day and had Jojo on.

I visited NOLA from Texas, we were there the labor day weekend. You walk in and it’s like a mom and pop shop. They do regular entrees on top of serving hot pot. We went from some seafood stuffed boa, salt and pepper squid and the sesame seed chicken. When I say we cleaned our plates, I mean it. It was by far the best food I had all 4 days in NOLA. So thank you. Next time I visit this will be my first stop!!!

The food was hot and fresh. The service was quick. The price was incredible 2 appetizers 2 drinks and 4 large entrees with lots of rice still under $100! In new orleans thats impressive!! The waiters are young and energetic. When listing french quarter restaurants Its a pretty slept on place comparatively.

I had been wanting to go to this restaurant for over a year! My friend & I finally went yesterday. Highly disappointed. Our waiter was great! But unless you eat pork the soup dumplings won't be for you. I will say the crab rangoon was perfect but we also ordered the governor Tao's chicken it was so dry & so nasty, completely unedible. They wouldn't comp it for us even though we ate none of it. Highly disappointed to say the least.

Nice Chinese restaurant in the quarter. Menu features a lot of dumplings and buns with various fillings. Also regular selections of Chinese food. Good food, generous portions, good value. All the food was fresh and delicious highly recommend. Give them a try!

Located on the Bywater area next to the 9th, sits an unassuming Biergarten surrounded by this industrial area. The setting is inviting with indoor and outdoor places that must work well in any season. Food is authentic and there’s a good selection of German beers to complement the big servings (yes!, bring your appetite). Service is pleasant and very friendly. I was delighted to see the attendant’s care towards a beautiful family’s dog and how much of this attention made this family enjoy the great food. Try their goulash, it’s a five star flavorful dish, or the chicken schnitzel, nice breaded and perfectly cooked maintaining its juiciness. A perfect place to gather with a group of friends and family.

Great place, great food and beer, friendly service. A one off/change of pace in New Orleans. The traditional German foods and beers are so good that this place is on my frequent hits for lunch or dinner. The owner is often on location and takes his quality control seriously. From appetizers to desserts this is a must for locals and tourists alike!

Oh my goodness. I don't even know where to start. What a hidden gem! We were visiting New Orleans and I was on the hunt for a dog friendly place. This restaurant popped up and I love German food, so I begged my husband to go before we left town. It's a tiny little place with several places to sit inside and picnic tables outside. I ordered the Jager schnitzel with spaetzle and cabbage and my husband had Rindergulash with mashed potatoes and red cabbage. (And a pretzel with dipping sauces) You know how when you're eating a meal, and eventually it just gets boring toward the end and you're ready to stop eating? Well, this did NOT happen. Every bite was just as delicious as the first bite! We ALMOST finished everything but had a little bit left over. The portions are generous and the flavor is just sooo sooo good! My pup agreed! (And they even gave him a dog treat for the trip home) Unfortunately shortly after leaving, our tire went completely flat on the interstate. We pulled off to an exit and proceeded to get the spare put on and eventually a new tire from the dealership. This took hours! Thankfully, our amazing lunch held us over until we got home! If you haven't been here, you should! We will definitely come again the next time we are in town!! Tschüss! We will be back soon!

i’ve been wanting to go for a while and it did not disappoint! we got the warm pretzel, a chicken schnitzel, and a bavarian brat (their most standard one) - the chicken schnitzel and the hot potato salad were the highlight for me the vibe on their patio was SO cute; it was quiet and charming when we went, but i imagine it would be a great happy hour spot too

Specifically requested to come here for my birthday last night and had a great time! This place is a gem, been coming here for years. Consistently good food, huge schnitzel plates, chill atmosphere, friendly staff. Dean Zucchero & Co. always providing good tunes. Great places for families or for a group of friends looking to Oktoberfest. So once you had your slice of pizza from Pizza D and realize you're still hungry- slide right over here :)

This place advertises a happy hour outside and then doesn't honor it, since it's "only from Tuesday to Friday" (today is Saturday). According to the waitress it was written on there in Sharpie, which "must have come off". Check out the photo yourself. Must have been the most water soluble Sharpie ever... I suggested for them to take down the sign or actually write the conditions on there. I expected for them to apologize and let us have the offer – but none of the sort happened unfortunately.

Love it here! Delicious food, nice staff and atmosphere. Had a live band on a Sunday afternoon. Casual and relaxing

Get the "feed me" chefs tasting menu. It is worth the price point and then some. This place is my favorite out of all the restaurants I visited in New Orleans. A genuine cozy place with flavor profiles and techniques that you can watch at the Chef's Counter. Go. Enjoy.

Truly delightful dining experience. Staff sat us despite it being very full for a weekday, they were kind and helpful. Order food I wasn’t even sure I’ve tried before, but wow. Everything was truly delicious. Maybe our new favorite spot in the city.

One of my go-to spots for dumplings and sushi in NOLA! The vibe is laid-back with eye-catching decor that adds to the charm. It’s a small space, so I highly recommend making a reservation if you don’t want to wait. To start, we ordered the Paloma and lychee cocktails, both refreshing and perfectly balanced. We also tried the Monkey Snack and Stoplight rolls. If you’re into bold, complex flavor profiles, the Monkey Snack is a must. Sweet, tangy, and packed with flavor—it hits every note. The Stoplight roll brings just the right amount of heat thanks to the jalapeños, and the fish is incredibly fresh. But the real star for me? The curried dumpling broth. I seriously dream about it when I’m not in NOLA. It’s so rich and flavorful that I almost finish the broth before touching the dumplings. Absolute comfort in a bowl. The tuna rangoons weren’t my favorite, but still a solid dish. Overall, a staple spot for me anytime I’m in town. Consistently delicious with creative dishes that leave a lasting impression.

Cozy little restaurant with a 1.5-hour dining limit. The menu featured a selection of Chinese and Japanese dishes, all well-prepared. My favorite dishes were the double-fried hamachi collar and the tuna Rangoon, both of which were incredibly flavorful. A great spot for a satisfying meal with a blend of Asian flavors.

Quintessential NOLA in every way. LUVI is a gem… can’t believe it took me a couple years to try these guys. Noodles, apps, drinks everything is 5-star. Don’t sleep on these guys. Restaurant is a perfect jewel box as well.

I just brought my parents here for dinner this evening and wow, what an amazing dinner it was. The staff was above and beyond when it came to service: refilling water regularly, were enthusiastic about the dishes, and were very welcoming. The drinks and dishes were phenomenal. The cocktails were well balanced, both tasty and beyond enjoyable. For dishes we had the Monkey Snack, Stoplight, Dragon Boat, Shanghai Spring Rolls, Mala Holla, Curried Favor Dumplings, Lacy Crab Roe Potstickers, and the Vegan Lover Dumplings. We enjoyed the dishes so much that we ordered another Curried Favor Dumpling dish and an order of Dan Dan Noodles To-Go! Every dish was unique and delicious, and not a crumb was left on the plates. For dessert we each had the trio of icecream including black sesame coconut, dragonfruit, and magnolia black tea icecream. The collaboration of LUVI and Creole Creamery on this icecream was superb and the flavors were truly unmatched. And top it all off with an eclectic and intimate atmosphere...Thank you to the owner and staff for such a wonderful dining experience....we will definitely come back!

We were visiting from out of town and wanted to explore outside the CBD. After a 20 min Lyft and over $100 per person for the meal, we just felt underwhelmed. The fish just lacked flavor all around, and many small plates were odd combinations of flavors. Smashed cucumbers were sent back due to very chemically after-taste. Cabbage was the best thing we ate. I would rather go an actual sushi restaurant that values fresh, good quality fish rather than trying to cover up subpar fish with weird sauces. Service was ok.

The greeting and atmosphere were inviting. The food was amazing. We waited a reasonable timeframe for our food, as the fritay was made to order. I rate Fritai as 9.5/10. Nothing negative worth mentioning. This was a pleasant experience enjoying Haitian food.

Went yesterday. The only reason that I’m giving four stars for food is because they only had white rice and I was really looking forward to the Haitian black rice. We had legume, griot, accra fritters, fried green plantain, and kremas. That kremas was 🔥! The pikliz that they serve with the accra was a little sweet and less spicy (right up my alley). Food and service on point!

I always have a wonderful time at Fritai. The drinks are always amazing. Classical rhum cocktails featuring Barboncourt. My server Brunine, is always so kind. Along with the rest of the staff, Fritai is always a welcoming environment. I love the Griyol!. The best Griyol I have ever had. Whether you are here for the food or just drinks, Fritai will always be an excellent choice!

This was the first time we experienced authentic Haitian food and it was an experience to remember! The shrimp creole was a delight, and the crab mac was so delectable you have to stop yourself from licking the bowl. I really enjoyed trying fried plantains (both sweet and regular). The vibe in here is intimate and cozy. Super friendly service that will make you want to keep coming back for more!

It was my first time eating Haitian food and omg delicious. So much flavor and spicy. Shared platter with coworkers and everything on it was tasty. The ox tail nachos was so good, my favorite thing I tried for dinner. I also had the fritai sandwich which was also yummy. Was too full to even order dessert.

FRITAI!!! Wowwww!!! I could not have been more happy, joyful, and satisfied... It was like a piece of Haiti right here in the US. I enjoyed EVERYTHING!!! Sooooo tasty, deeeeeelicious, and just Mmmm!! Mmmm!! Good!! I hummed and danced in my seat all throughout my dinner!!! Fritai IS A MUST!!! It's a true experience, for your tastbuds and the cultural vibe. Our server, Laurie, "Lo", was an absolute gem. She exudes personality and great customer service at its best! I just loved Fritai so much! 🇭🇹❤️

Definitely going back before I leave. Some good Haitian food. It's giving Boston and Miami haitian food and you know those are true little haiti areas. Oh and my server Ro, she was awesome. Attentive and just a sweetheart. Thank you for top tier customer service 🙏🏿

Had the 1/2 shrimp po-boy from here. It was pretty decently sized even at 1/2 and well-priced ($12 after tax). The shrimp was well-breaded and very fresh, really juicy and tender. I wish it had more seasoning though to give it something extra, it was pretty plain. The cook is really friendly, the po-boy was pretty good, so even though it didn't blow me away, those two things alone would make me come back and try their other offerings.

Oh yes...believe...in the Frady's experience. Walk through the door ..check it out...and give in to the goods....you know it's GOOOOOD so damn good. Delicious and fast and hot and juicy at fair prices...a gem

Why did I wait so many years to go to FRADY’S ? We will definitely be back. The French fry po boy dressed was amazing ! The cobbler and bread pudding was scrumptious ! When you walk in the door you’re gonna feel like your grandma is in there cooking. Go ! Eat here ! The owner and staff were incredible as well.

Absolutely delicious Po-Boys! We ordered the Shrimp, Meatball and Roast Beef Po-Boys and wow do they have the right balance with flavours! The ingredients were super tasty and really fresh and the batter (in particular) on the shrimp was perfect - not too much. And it’s not just the food that’s awesome here, so are the staff. Without a doubt some of the friendliest people we met in New Orleans. I only wish we’d stopped by sooner, as we would have revisited it again during our trip!

Great funky little hole in the wall place. People come for the poboys, and they are very good, but the secret is the bread pudding. Made in-house, cheap and fantastic...the best in NOLA.

Frady's is an institution for a reason. Shrimp po'boy is one of the best I've ever had. Space in the shop is tight, but plenty of room to sit on the patio. Beautiful neighbor for strolling to enjoy the fresh air. Lots of street parking.

Awesome local spot for po-boys. Take to go or eat at tables right outside. The half lo-boy on French is huge, (what I’d call a full sandwich). We asked for a recommendation on what to order, and shrimp and Louisiana sausage po-boys were both delicious

We chose the Court of Two Sisters for one of our few treasured meals during our brief two-day stay in New Orleans over Memorial Day 2025. The restaurant caught our attention for its rich history and the fascinating story behind the building, as well as the opportunity to sample a wide variety of New Orleans cuisine thanks to the buffet-style setup. In the end, we found ourselves appreciating the ambiance, history, and warm hospitality even more than the food. The buffet fare was good, but it didn’t quite live up to our expectations. That said, we’re still glad we had the experience—it’s a beautiful venue with undeniable charm. Next time, we hope to return for dinner and order from the à la carte menu in hopes of a more memorable meal. If you're a foodie who enjoys historic dining spots, it’s definitely worth a try.

Definitely recommend. Food was amazingly delicious. All the staff were personable, friendly and helpful. It's upscale buffet style with a great options and outdoor dining on the brick patio. Everything was amazing. But I recommend Definitely putting the curry chicken on the plate and definitely try the banana foster for dessert, you won't be disappointed.

Really cool restaurant with rich history and a beautiful ambience! Service and staff were really kind and attentive. However, the food was such a disappointment. We went for early brunch (before 11am) and it just seemed like a glorified continental breakfast spread. Very carb-heavy with a few special meats at the end, such as fish, veal, and duck, which was pretty overcooked and dry. This was accompanied by a basic selection of cut fruits, and a whole section of raw ingredients for a salad bar - not the spread we expected for the price. Not worth the brunch buffet price at all. However, it may serve as a good spot to stop by in the evening with the overhanging lights on and a better selection from the a la carte menu! I would recommend sitting outside, indoor seating looks like an old diner - nothing special.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A Must-Try New Orleans Brunch Experience! We absolutely loved our brunch at The Court of Two Sisters! The buffet is the best way to experience all the classic New Orleans flavors in one sitting—Jambalaya, Gumbo, Red Beans & Rice, Étouffée, and Banana Foster were all incredible. We dined in the beautiful courtyard under the vines while a live jazz band played in the background—such a perfect New Orleans vibe. Our server was top-notch, attentive, and friendly throughout. If you’re visiting New Orleans and want to truly taste New Orleans, this is the place to go.

We had the best dinner of our New Orleans trip tonight! Kevin our server was one of the best servers I have ever had in the United States and the food was first class. In fact it was in a class of its own! Highly recommend! He also made our birthday celebration so very memorable!

We went here for the Sunday jazz brunch it was very nice and the atmosphere was great! We a little disappointed because we didn't expect it to be a buffet, we usually don't go to many buffets. We made the best of it the food was good so I can't complain at all.

Undrea made our experience special. She is a great waitress and appreciates her customers experience. The food was on point. Had variety and was really tasty. Great way to try all of New Orleans classics in one place. They even have a cookbook with all their recipes. I really enjoyed my first experience at Court of Two sisters

My wife and I went here while on our honeymoon. I cannot recall the name of our waiter, but he was exceptional. He told us of the history of the restaurant, made great recommendations, and made sure our water glasses were always full. My wife loved her pan seared crab cake dish (below) and we also enjoyed the desserts we shared. My mom went here in the 70s with my grandparents and her brother and told us the food was excellent back then, too. She even has a copy of the paper menus that were entirely in French! Thanks Antoine’s.

What an amazing experience we had! I can’t stop thinking about everything from the history of the building, our amazing service from the dynamic father and daughter team, Murphy and Megan and the food. We came for brunch and had a private room for our large party. We had bottomless mimosas that were made with GOOD French bubbles and never once had to ask for a refill. I had the gumbo and Redfish Amandine. I’m still thinking about it. Every single of or us enjoyed our meals but more so the entire dining experience and stores we were told about the history of the place. I will a million % come back next time I’m in New Orleans!

The restaurants claim to fame is being the founding father of the Oysters Rockefeller. There second claim to fame is being the oldest restaurant in Louisiana. The service provided, was done at a level where you thought you needed to wear a 3-piece suit to dine (most of us had just a shirt, no jacket, and slacks). The ambience is one of a fine dining establishment, with beautiful chandeliers above each table. The food was also expertly prepared, and delicious. I would recommend this restaurant for anyone looking for a fine dining experience in the French Quarters area of New Orleans.

Everything about this restaurant was 10/10 down to the food, drinks, servers, and atmosphere. Our waiter Myles was amazing and made the whole experience one of the best parts of our bachelorette trip. He knew that menu front to back and had the best recommendations when struggling between all the good looking choices. Kyle was also amazing and always checked to see if our table was good or needed anything. I was surprised to see how many Dining room options they had and did not expect this restaurant to be as beautiful as it was. Online photos don’t do it justice. The historical look just gave it the Nola feeling we were looking for. Would recommend this place every time.

From the moment my party of 8 arrived till the meal ended, we were always greeted with great friendly service. We dined in one of the smaller back rooms which was not as lively as the larger front rooms. Food was delicious. Started with 2 of 2 for the charbroiled oyster sampler. Then went with the fillet Oscar which was very tasty and cooked perfectly. Wife had the grilled frut de mare and all was cooked to her liking. The bone-in veal chops were enjoyed by two in our party and said they were awesome. The herbed chicken was also enjoyed by others at the table. Service was friendly and attentive. The decor was very cool.

I am glad to say that I have finally gotten to experience the historic Antoine's restaurant. Unfortunately, some of the finer details were lacking. The gumbo was outstanding, and so was the bread pudding dessert. Our server was prompt, friendly, and took care of everything we needed in a timely and accurate manner. I took a star away for the atmosphere simply because the rooms are large and loud, though we could still carry on a conversation. For the price point of the food, I would have expected a little more. The flavors were on point, but my fish was overcooked, and my husband's lobster dish was exceptionally rich (unbalanced). Some real boosts to the experience would be more comfortable chairs, better food presentation, and a fairer price point for the food.

Antoine’s served the absolute best Espresso Mocktini! My husband and I both got the dinner special which included three courses. The food was delicious but the Tarte Au Peche and Florida Key Like Pie desserts really stole the whole show. Darla was a sweet and attentive server. I would absolutely go again when visiting New Orleans.

Great meal! Wood fired oven adds a subtle smoky flavor to the food. We had wood fired oysters ( gluten free) catfish courtbouillon ( gluten free), tomatoes and okra ( gluten free) and beef brisket. Everything was excellent. I appreciate that they listed all their gluten free items on a separate menu. The atmosphere is relaxed and our server was great.

We came here for a quick pit stop and because we wanted to try the alligator. We ordered a glass of beer, dumbo, and of course alligator. Both appetizers were really good. The dumbo could be better but still very good. But the alligator, wow, it’s superb. It’s our first time having an alligator meat, but if you told me it was chicken or pork or duck, we would believe you. It was tender, not too chewy, almost like chicken thigh consistency and it didn’t smell fishy at all. In fact the combo with the mint leaves and parsley and onion and spicy mayo made it all taste excellent. When the waiter said it’s one of the best in the city, we didn’t doubt that. The place is huge and very cold. Maybe for a hot summer day it could be a refuge, but today it was a bit raining and temp wasn’t too warm. Service was very friendly, even though we told our waiter we were there just for a pit stop. Clean place and good space between tables. So highly recommend this place.

My Fiance and I were in Nola for a work event. A co-worker had looked up the best place to eat in New Orleans. Cochon was at the top of the list. It's hard to put in words, how good everything was. Jesse (sorry Jesse if I got the wrong spelling!) was our server, and he knew the menu like he wrote it. We ended up ordering most of what he recommended. Everything was fantastic, so much so, that we went back the next night. It was just as incredible and did not disappoint. Highly recommend going to New Orleans just for this restaurant.

We went here thinking it was cochon butchery. When we told the server the menu was different we were brushed off and told the menu changes a lot. After ordering drinks we realized our mistake. We tried to make the best of it but we didnt see a single main course we'd like to try. We ended up ordering alligator bites and gumbo. Both were delicious but, again, we were disappointed because we thought we'd be ordering differently. While waiting for our appetizers we saw 2 other groups come in and leave because they made the same mistake we did. The table next to us also reluctantly ordered food. After spending $40 we were disappointed in our experience. Don't make our mistake. Keep going down the block 50 yards to cochon butchery. (We did end up there and had a much better experience).

very mid overall. food was a hit or miss, service just okay, atmosphere strange none of the decor seemed to match at all lol. food: salmon dish was EXTREMELY tiny go to a sushi place instead they’ll charge u the same amount for way more. seasoning on it was good but the greens on it had WAYYY too much vinaigrette. the muffaletta was decent

The service…Nick W was our waiter and was phenomenal in all ways. Kind spirited and seemingly enjoyed his job! He made our dining experience incredible! The food…we had rabbit n dumplings, smothered Lima beans, shrimp stew, and pan-seared grouper with a beer and old-fashion. Every. Single. Thing. sat in front of us was delicious. 10/10 recommend!

If you’re into early dinners reservations are not so much needed here but the place was filling up quickly as we prepared to leave. Their cocktails were very well received by my wife while I decided to stay close to my tried and true Long Island Iced Tea’s (7.5 out of 10 for smoothness and effectiveness). We started with a 30 day cares ham with figs which was fantastic smooth flavor and the only kick was the sprinkled sea salt sprinkled on top. From there we moved onto rabbit and dumplings which were phenomenal along with their bacon broiled green beans which were tasty and worth it. Then over to Mac and cheese which is a hard decision as my wife and I save carbs for our alcohol but well worth all of the flavor they came with. The service was fantastic and our waiter had a bidder who complemented him very well. We always had water and attention as we needed.

Our waitress Ashleigh was amazing. Super attentive and answered all our questions. Didn’t rush us at all either. We got the ribeye special and it was the best steak I’ve had. The creme brûlée is huge and easily shareable! Highly recommend!

Absolutely exquisite experience. We had a reservation for the Jazz Brunch. The space is gorgeous, and a jazz trio was playing live music. Delightful! Our table had a view of the courtyard and the open kitchen. Our server, Meg, was incredible. So professional and a real sweetheart! Honestly, the whole staff was terrific and seemed like a family. We each had a cocktail. My friend ordered the Just As Well, I got a Bloody Mary. Both were exceptional. We started with the Blue Crab Fondue. This was a stunner- creamy, crabby heaven. I had the Maison Salad and fell in love with the dressing. So delicious! I also had the Creole French Onion Soup, which was fantastic. My friend loved his Gulf Fish Sandwich. I tried the fries- handout (my favorite) and perfectly salted. We had planned to order dessert, but we were so full. No worries as it is something to look forward to on my next visit.

Five Stars for Tableau – and for James! We had the absolute pleasure of dining at Tableau in New Orleans for my birthday, and let me tell you, it was unforgettable. From the moment we were seated, our server James made us feel like we were being welcomed into a warm, elegant family home. His service struck the perfect balance of professional and personable: attentive without hovering, funny without overstepping, and somehow managing to anticipate our needs before we even knew we had them. Between the three of us, we sampled three appetizers, a soup, a salad, two entrées, and two desserts and James guided us through it all with ease, making great recommendations and making us feel like VIPs every step of the way. The food was absolutely delicious, but the real standout of the night was James. His energy and care elevated the entire experience and made it the highlight of my birthday trip to New Orleans. If you’re visiting the city and want a meal that feels special from start to finish, Tableau is the place — and if you’re lucky enough to get James as your server, you’re in for something truly exceptional.

I had the opportunity to visit this restaurant with my husband, daughter, and her boyfriend and we had an amazing time! To start, the hostess, Rashari, was friendly, kind, and courteous. While she was prepping to show us to our table, she acknowledged the next group that came in. (I hate when I arrive at an establishment and I am ignored. At least let me know you see me. Even if you dont seat me!) Anyway, she was great! She showed us to our seats and informed us that our waitress will be with us shortly. While we briefly waited for our waitress to arrive, I noticed the beautiful decor, the soft lighting, and the peaceful music Playlist that played in the background. It was a beautiful setting. Jessica, our waitress, came over and gave us the menu storyline! Her story telling was so, she swayed what we originally wanted to order! I have pictures to show our final choices. Jessica was funny, attentive, and personally, I think she was a mind reader! When we had a need, she just showed up with it! Amazing isn't a big enough word to describe her! She made our visit such a wonderful experience I look forward to a future visit! Ok, now let's talk about the food. The stars of the evening were the entrees. Although we ordered different dishes, we tried each other's dish and the top runners were my redfish (Gulf fish Almondine) and my husband's steak (Brandy Cream Coulotte)! The steak was so good his eyes seem to roll behind his head with ecstasy! My fish was satisfying and seasoned to perfection! We had two desserts, but my favorite was the Blueberry Upside-down Financier! Everything was great! A little warning, the website menu and what are in my pics do not match. We learned that the items will change seasonally, so have an open mind when you arrive and the menu is different from what you may see online.

It's in a great location off of Jackson Square. We stopped in for a quick lunch, had the gumbo and grilled shrimp. The gumbo was first rate, not my favorite of the trip but close. The grilled shrimp were also good.

To my surprise, the staff kindly accommodated my request to be seated on the balcony, even though the restaurant was quite busy that evening. I really appreciated that extra effort, especially as I was dining alone and sitting at a table in a prime location it made the experience feel very welcoming. I ordered the shrimp and grits with no sausage with a side of lump crab meat, and while everything was beautifully presented and rich in flavour, I realized afterward that I probably should have paired it with something acidic, like a light salad, to balance the richness. I also don’t drink wine anymore, which I suspect would have complemented the dish very nicely. The only minor complaint I have is that, while the shrimp were large and visually stunning, they had a slightly off flavor. Other than that, it was a wonderful meal and overall a great experience. I’d happily return and recommend it to others.

Excellent gambo: duck and sausage. Very pleasant dining room and a nice courtyard. To find it one has to navigate the street closed by construction.
