Cajun Restaurants in New Orleans, LA

“We were blown away on our first visit this morning!! Ryan is a talented mixologist in the bar creating beautiful, delicious and truly unique drinks. Our server Louis was incredibly charming and attentive, giving us excellent menu choices —as it was a hard decision. Every dish was a work of art—both in presentation and flavor. The whole experience was top-notch, and we can’t wait to come back!“

“My husband and I went on Friday night for dinner. Could not wait to try the new menu and it was simply awesome. To start with, our sever team was Isaac and Cheyanne and they were great. We never waited for anything. The Hot Crab Claws and Foie Gras Torte for appetizers were divine. I ordered the Duck Cassoulet and my husband had the visiting fish, Sea Bass over Yakamein. While the fish was excellent, the Duck ruled the table. Thanks to the Servers and Kitchen for a wonderful meal. We'll be back.“

“Excellent experience. Highly recommend. We tried almost half the menu, drinks and desserts included. Great all around.“

“This place really left a lasting impression. From the hostess, our server, the bathrooms, food, price point, time we spent. Everything was on point. We had oysters, gumbo, bisque, redfish, and house salad. Everything was divine!!! Keep up the good work! Also loved that it was so very clean.“

“One of the best meals I’ve had in New Orleans was at Toups! We had a charcuterie board with their house made hogs head cheese, chicken liver mousse and foie gras accompanied by house pickles. Simply incredible!! The hogs head cheese was the best I’ve ever had! I especially loved the chunkiness of it with nice pieces of tender pork! The crispy turkey necks! Oh my goodness… AMAZING! The braised lamb neck entree was exquisite with a generous portion and crispy spaetzle! Even leftover, it was great!! I also had their pork chop and applesauce cocktail which was creative and also delicious!! I highly recommend this restaurant! Great work Chef Isaac and team!“

“Amazing food!!! Great staff!“

“My bestie and I visited Monday during Essence Fest Weekend and had the best server Centorrey. She was very attentive and honest from the time we sat down til the time we departed. Her customer service was A+++ Centorrey made coming to this restaurant a joy that I had to see her manager personally and verbally tell him what an amazing job she did. Thank you so much Centorrey and Hadji (Manager) for a great experience. The food and drinks were on point as well just removed those little airplane fans because that do nothing for that NOLA heat. I'll see you guys on my next visit“

“My favorite New Orleans restaurant. The food is always fresh, flavorful and delicious. Frank keeps the menu seasonal and world with what's fresh in the market. New Orleans is home to many fine dining restaurants but none dinner than Brigtsen's. it's friendly, distinguished, welcoming to all. I'm not a fancy person and I've never felt out of place here. You won't find a better place to dine.“

“Delicious dinner …. Great waiter Justin“

“Great food reasonably priced. Much better than some of the better known and prettier places we’ve eaten at in Nola. We had the super dome and Benson Boogie. We will be back!“

“From the moment you walk in every thing is just outstanding. From start to finish you will be amazed. Do try the wine pairing. Worth every penny! The staff so warm and welcoming. The food just fantastic. Will be back for sure! Thank you♥️“

“I’d have pictures but our amazing waiter threatened us to keep the cellphones in our bags and just enjoy the food, each other, and honestly, just joking around with him. I had the fried chicken with jambalaya and it was delicious from the first to the last bite. I haven’t laughed to tears so hard in all my life. Go and keep your cellphones in your bags. Enjoy the food, each other, and the people around you.“

“I will always come back for the food and the excellent hospitality.“

“Amazing food, friendly atmosphere. I've been hearing about them for years and so glad I finally got to go. Well worth the wait. The debris is amazing!!“

“Wow! Three of us ate lunch at Cafe Reconcile, the food was absolute perfection. We started with the fried turkey necks appetizer. Going into it we weren't sure what to expect but let me tell you.... they were unbelievably good!!! All of us had the Fried Green Tomato BLT on Jalapeno Cornbread Toast.... more perfection! Side dishes were Gumbo and Sweet Potato Crumble.....yep, perfection! The inside of the restaurant is beautiful and absolutely spotless. The staff were exceptional and very attentive. The prices were extremely reasonable and I guarantee you won't find better food at an expensive high end restaurant. Be sure to check this place out. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐“

“I dined at at 5 of best restaurants in New Orleans from last Sunday through Thursday: Best tie. Mr B's and Antoine's - excellent food &service Next - Commander's Palace and Brennans - very good Poor and Worst !!! Arnauds - truly disappointing! Cold food , poorly staffed. Living on their reputation that is no longer warranted! Overpriced is no surprise“

“Great food and quick service“

“Amazing dining experience at Annunciation. The staff is very welcoming and friendly. The food is delicious, will definitely be coming back.“

“Delicious food! Best place to taste a little bit of everything New Orleans! Great owners! Great staff!!“

“Went for a lite meal & shared the Gumbo, a Caesar Salad w/Oyster & Mixed greens salad w/blood orange, goat cheese, toasted pumpkin seeds, & grilled shrimp. All was excellent but the Caesar may have been the best I’ve ever had. Loved this place. Will return for more.“

“We love the food & service. Best breakfast in the French Quarter. We have been dining here for over 8 years & continue to come every time we visit New Orleans.“

“We were there for dinner 3/14/22 and breakfast on 3/16/22. Great food and even better wait staff. First time I 've ever seen the boss go borrow a cup of booze from another bar to make a drink! We had an excellent tome and will be back.“

“Good choices for breakfast that are affordable.“

“One of the best hidden gems of New Orleans . Do not sleep on this place. The food is amazing. I also love a restaurant where the owner comes out and checks on his tables . I’ve been a few times now and will be returning“

“We visit this restaurant every time we come to New Orleans. The owner is so sweet and kind and the service as usual is excellent. While here this time the owner was having the bar tender to make different drinks and she kept bring over drinks for us to try, I am not talking about little shot glasses but regular drink classes. To say I wasn’t feeling any pain is an understatement. I highly recommend that you check out this restaurant, I promise you want be sorry.“

“Last day in NOLA we were blessed with an incredible meal featuring succulent hazelnut crusted duck, savory squash and a heavenly Lemon Tart that left us in awe. It was perfectly topped off with a tour of the entire building including the kitchen by the amazing Manager David Weick. What a truly unforgettable experience. Thank you David!“

“Laurent was our server. He was friendly, attentive to the table, and quickly responded to additional requests. Loved the music and atmosphere. We were seated quickly.“

“Amazing food, excellent staff, quick service“

“Great cruise. We chose the historical cruise, took in the beautiful sights and was enchanted by an amazing narrator who regaled us with tales of New Orleans' rich history. Charles definitely embodies the proud spirit of this magnificent city. Highly recommended.“

“Literally looks like a dump, and two older Asian people working, and a bar with half Cajun food and half Chinese. Literally some of the best food of my life“

“Great personable staff..yummy drinks and food was delicious..we will definitely be back“

“Amazing food and staff! love the atmosphere and laid back vibe. perfect place to stop in for a to go drink or sit and have a full meal! Definitely check it out if you are in NOLA! Pet friendly and kid friendly!“

“Customer Service leaves a lot to be desired. Our waitress barely stopped by to check on us. The food was fantastic. The charbroiled oysters were plump and meaty. The gumbo and coleslaw were both very flavorful. And the fried fish dinner was also fantastic. Is the service was anywhere near the quality of the food I would recommend 100%.“

“If I could go every day I would. The food was fantastic. The service was fantastic. We were greeted like they knew us. I cannot wait to go back!“
