Desire Oyster Bar is truly one of those special places that keeps you coming back—not just for the amazing food, but for the people and the experience.
I’ve been traveling to New Orleans for eight years, visiting every other year, and every time I come back, Desire Oyster Bar feels like coming home. The staff has always made me feel welcomed, appreciated, and genuinely like family. That kind of hospitality is hard...read full review

Desire Oyster Bar offers a great dining experience. The oyster bar is a highlight, with friendly staff, including Gus and Robert, who provide impeccable service. The restaurant is a good alternative to other options, and many guests love the place for its delicious food and fantastic service. The oysters are a must-try, and the desserts are also commendable. The establishment is conveniently connected to the Royal Sonesta Hotel, making it a convenient choice. Guests enjoy breakfast, brunch, lunch, and dinner here, with the bloody Mary’s being a standout. While some staff members at the front door may seem sub-par, the majority are grown-ups who deliver above-average service. Many visitors have been coming since 1996 and praise how great things get better with time. Despite minor service issues, the restaurant remains a must-visit in New Orleans.
