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.“

“Everything. My favorite establishment in New Orleans!“

“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.“

“My waitress T was amazing!!!!!!! Best ever👌😊😊😊😊“

“Wonderful food in a beautiful setting with great service!“

“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!“

“Food was delicious. Wait staff very friendly and attentive.“

“Had the okra ,fried chicken and candied yams SoooooooGoooood thought l was at my mothers kitchen. WOW. everything was full of FLAVOR. Will be back. Thank You🥰🥰“

“I drove AT NIGHT. WITH AN ASTIGMATISM. all the way from DA PARISH to THE CITY for this bread pudding. Took a wrong turn down a one-way like a true local menace, didn’t even put my dentures in, and would absolutely do it again because this bread pudding had me seeing God, my ancestors, and Louis Armstrong all at once. Soft. Sweet. Soaked just right. Illegal in at least three states. Now let’s talk about the REAL MVP: the waitress/bartender with the cute lipstick. Ma’am was serving looks, vibes, and hospitality like she was born behind that bar during Jazz Fest. Sweet as pralines, sharp as a Saints comeback, and made the whole place feel like your favorite cousin’s house—if your cousin knew how to pour a drink and flirt professionally. I am currently eating this bread pudding right next to the establishment like a raccoon with a treasure, specifically to keep my husband from getting a bite. He had 45 whole minutes to get out of bed, put on clothes, and drive me here before closing—and chose violence (sleep). That’s on him. I chose dessert. 10/10. Worth the drive, the risk, the one-way street, the bare gums, and the marital pettiness. New Orleans at its finest.“

“The quality of the food and service is simply exceptional.“

“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“

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

“Amazing food!!! Great staff!“

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

“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. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐“

“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.“

“Wow!!! The best food I have had in a long time. Every thing was absolutely delicious. Service was amazing. Highly suggest everyone should experience this place.“

“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.“

“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!“

“Mahoney’s was definitely worth the trip ! We had a roast beef poboy, loaded gravy fries, muffalata egg rolls, red beans and rice and fried chicken platter ! Everything delicious! Our server Brandon was super cool and made us feel like family and we will absolutely be back !“

“Amazing food and service! Beat meal in New Orleans!“

“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.“

“Superb service and delicious food“

“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!!“

“Great food and quick service“

“If there were a gold standard for hospitality, it would be JC, our waiter at Mr. B’s Bistro. We brought a group of dear friends along this time—and JC made each of us feel genuinely part of the Mr. B’s family. We’ve been dining here since 1979, and somehow JC has only grown even more remarkable with time. The food, of course, is exquisite. We started with spring rolls and crabcakes, and, naturally, the freshly baked warm French bread with butter. Truffle fries for the table were a decadent prelude to the main event. Several of us savored the filet—perfect with garlic rounds and sautéed spinach. The snapper, as always, was sublime. The gumbo and barbecue shrimp are quintessential New Orleans specialties—so iconic that I even try my hand at the shrimp at home using the recipe from the Mr. B’s Bistro cookbook. Desserts were equally delightful: the bread pudding, salted caramel chocolate cake, and, of course, the classic profiteroles. Cocktails were spot on, and the red wine we chose from their extensive list paired beautifully with the meal. Nestled on Royal Street in the heart of the French Quarter, Mr. B’s Bistro is a treasure, and JC is its beating heart. Fifty years in, and we still can’t imagine going anywhere else. Dining here is less a meal than a tradition—and like a fine red wine—or even their unforgettable barbecue shrimp—JC only gets better with time.“

“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♥️“

“bon resto équipe sympa les plats sont bons“

“Great vibe and decor. Bonnie was a fantastic host and the food was amazing. 5*“

“Coop’s Place is definitely one of those classic hole-in-the-wall New Orleans spots that ends up being way better than you expect. The fried chicken was seriously tasty and had a unique, distinct flavor that stood out from other places I’ve tried. Crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, and full of seasoning. The atmosphere is laid back and authentic, which makes the experience feel even more New Orleans. If you’re looking for great local food without anything fancy, this place is worth checking out.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Excellent food. Good portions. Courteous staff.“

“Skip the seafood in the French Quarter and head to this spot. This is where the locals come to eat. Large menu, great prices and original Nola food. Delicious!!“

“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!“

“This is the best breakfast ever! Friendly staff, great food, love the mom and pop atmosphere. ❤️“

“I had the crab and corn bisque. Very delicious. The atmosphere was welcoming and relaxing with great music. Very friendly staff. I could easily become a regular.“

“ON yesterday I came there first time visiting, me and my friend we order a seafood platter and a red beans platter everything was delivered only problem we had was that the manager that was on duty was in the kitchen wiping her nose with napkin, sneezing and also standing in front for the food I think that is so unsanitary for one why is yall manager at work sick 🤒 I will be calling corporate“

“Oysters were great and the Po Boy was phenomenal!!!“

“Our second time here and we love it! Alonna, our server, was the best! Red beans and rice with biscuit is mouthwatering! Fried shrimp was delicious! We’re taking gumbo and beignets with us.“

“Ride on the Creole Queen Paddle Boat up and down the Mississippi River whole listening to a over view of the town and the paddle boat itself.

There are three levels to find seating and two interior dining rooms. We must have gone when tourism was down as there were not very many people a board.

The ride lasted a little less than 90 minutes. We saw a Carnival cruise ship taking off and two oil tankers.

It was ha4d to hear the speaker and all he had to say, but the snippets I got were very interesting especially about the fort of Andrew Jackson.“

“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“
