French Restaurants in New Orleans, LA

“Lamb kofta and ceviche were the best! The yogurt and sunflower seeds were a nice touch to the lamb. We also tried the roasted squash which was yummy ?

For the main, we got red snapper to share and we didn’t regret! It came with some mussels on the side which was a pleasant surprise.

If you are in NOLA, you should definitely try this place out!“

“Phenomenal dinner here. The vibe was immaculate, almost like a tucked away speak-easy feel but with a super classy twist. The servers could not have been kinder and Tri was absolutely lovely! The fry bread, Brussels, goat cheese salad (there are fried cheese balls in the salad that are to die for), and Brussels were all out of this world. My server also recommended the butterfly house cocktail which was delish!! Got the toffee carrot cake to go which was a scrumptious treat. Would absolutely go back in a heart beat ❤️“

“Best overall food experience ever! Every course was meticulously prepared and described perfectly so we could know exactly what we were tasting in every bite. the wine pairings were absolute perfection. Superb chefs, and the entire staff was friendly and professional. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Fabulous evening at N7. Wonderful food experience“

“Fantastic place with that old corner-bar feel. Friendly staff and a literal “wall o’beer”. We visited this place three times in the week we were in NOLA and loved the atmosphere every time we were there.“

“(Visited in February 2024)

Still dreaming about the perfect French 75 we had here. It was a gorgeous 75 degree day in February. We did a historical walking tour, and then came into the bar to get a little refreshment before our next adventure. The cocktails were cold. The service was great! We cannot wait to come back on our next visit to the city!“

“Amazing, laid back Southern brunch. French mimosas & a crab salad. Fantastic atmosphere & service.“

“Wonderful - don’t miss this place!!“

“Delicious food, cocktails and wines. Steak Frites are perfectly done. Attentive service is a plus!!!“

“Dined here for my birthday and it was perfect! The vibe was so romantic and beautiful. We dined outdoors and the space is so pretty and the weather was perfect. The food was delicious! Dessert was brought out with a candle on it for my birthday. The service was prompt and courteous. 10/10 would recommend!“

“My Uncle took me to Patio's for my 27th Birthday dinner. We had drinks at the bar before being seated at our reserved table, since we arrived early.(WARNING: I recommend making reservations in advance in order to get desired time, but there is a canelation fee of $75 per guest, if there is a no call no show, and if the canelation is after the time of the reserevation. If you decide to cancel the fee is at the resturants discresstion to apply the fee or not.The bar tender was very accomodating, entertaining, and had great drink recommendations. When we were seated, our waiter was prepared to describe the specials for dinner that evening. We decided to get the appitizer special, which was a 11/10. I recommonend the zucchini balls, the special, and the buffalo blue oysters. The buffalo blue oysters are fried oysters topped with a sauteed bluffalo sauce topped with blue cheese crumbles. They wer ablsoluetly prepared to perfection. For dinner, my Uncle decieded on the eggplant parmesan and I got the steak frites. These dinner dishes were packed both with amazing flavors, and cooked perfectly. I decided to get my stake medium rare, and instead of french fries, I got the potato cuts. The Eggplant Parmesan has squash noodles packed into the eggplant cutlet, topped with red marinara sauce and chives. I thought it was wonderful. We enjoyed everything! For dessert, we ordered a cup of great coffee, with a shot of Bailey's, and the Blueberry Shortcake. The dessert was a perfect choice to top off the night. I thought the atmosphere was comfortable and cozy. It was still elegant, but casual atired spot to dine-in. The double seated tables are a little close to eachother, but overall I enjoyed the experience. I plan to visit again, and try a new dish from the menu. I know whatever I decided to eat at this resturant location will be outstanding and woth every cent spent. The waiter had a great attitude and great recommendations for all of my needs. I plan to re-visit this resturant, and reccomend it to other frineds and family. It's a great spot to have a nice night out,a nd the food will not dissapoint.

Parking: The parking situation is off the street parking. The resturant is located in a residental neighborhood, at the corner of the cross street. Finding a spot near the resturant is more first come, first serve. There is parking in front of the resturant, if you find a spot, or in front of the homes that are in the neighborhood surrounding the resturant. Personally, the parking situation was not difficult to find, and we were across the street fromt he resturant.“

“We ate here this evening and everything was divine! We had the lane snapper with couscous, green beans and olive vinaigrette on top. We also had blue crab beignets and the cucumber salad. For dessert we had the chocolate “something” with salted caramel ice cream on top, chocolate mousse and candied hazelnuts on the side. FANTASTIC! Oh ya, and the coffee was perfect with dessert. Must try when in NOLA.“

“Our first time but everything was amazing.“

“I enjoyed a lovely dinner at this quaint and cozy Bistro . I ordered off of the menu for the day and had the soft shell crab over a nice size bed of lettuce with salad and it was the perfect pair . The mussels were delicious . My friends split one of their amazing pizzas and had one of the salads. The service was excellent and absolutely love the atmosphere of this very special gem .“

“The service is impeccable, the food sublime, the atmosphere as expected, oozing history. I started with the Oysters Rockefeller then as a main I enjoyed the Lamb Chops with Port Demi Glace, both were exceptional dishes with service to match. I was a single and felt right at home. An experience I will never forget! THANK YOU!!!“

“Amazing restaurant. Thanks Francesca and staff for a great meal.“

“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!!“

“I went to this restaurant over the weekend with my family and they were able to accommodate a party of 12. There was no wait and the food was sensational. I had the course meal and it was enough for two. Very big portions and the food is reasonably priced. I will definitely be returning!“

“Really good food and fantastic, friendly service. Great happy hour deals (1/2 price) on wine and apps. Definitely recommend.“

“Had the pleasure of eating here while on a Bachlorette trip. The food was delicious and the wait staff was so friendly and accommodating when it came to taking time to recommend food as well as take our group photo. The atmosphere was beautiful and gave an elegant feel for a reasonable price. I would highly recommend.

Dietary restrictions: We had someone with a gluten allergy and they went through a long and detailed list of items on the menu that they could make for her. Very accommodating.“

“I enjoyed my visit to the Elizabeth Street Cafe New Orleans. It seems to be as much a bakery as a Vietnamese Restaurant. The inside area is small, but very nicely organized. The food items definitely have a Vietnamese flair but the pastry selection is also impressive. There is an outdoor seating area available, the food is good and the service is excellent.

Vegetarian options: Lots of non-meat items

Dietary restrictions: Ask before ordering

Parking: Parking lot on site

Kid-friendliness: Children welcome

Wheelchair accessibility: Accessible with assistance“

“Food was amazing.The service from Kate and Joe was excellent .Will definitely recommend this restaurant as a must if visiting New Orleans. A great dining experience.“

“I really cannot say enough about this place. The ambience and decor are beautiful, they’re playing authentic French music which you would expect, but what was not expected was the incredible truly French food. I knew the chef was not French by birth but you’d never know it. The escargot were perfect, garlicky and not salty, the bread is amazing, so was the pain perdu, I would like some brie on the charcuterie board but the board was amazing, and the substitution of mushrooms into a traditional boeuf bourginon to make it vegetarian y’all is genius. My son thought he was eating meat, it was so hearty. We can’t wait to go back and try the rest of the menu, although I will have to prep myself because the bartender pours with a heavy hand and makes a great French 75! ❤️“

“We had such a fun evening tonight - it was my husband and I and a friend. Manager was incredibly nice, and the drinks, food, and service were great. Happy Thanksgiving to everyone there!“

“Very laid back environment with really great food and service. Also probably one of the best burgers I’ve ever had! We ordered the whole fish and the croquettes too, so good. The fish had bones so it was definitely some work but it was simply cooked and had a lot of flavor. Centrally located so easy to get to and worth the visit“

“My boyfriend used to come here for years when he lived in New Orleans. He brought my family during our visit and it was incredible. They have very fresh bread they bake themselves, a cozy atmosphere, very kind staff, and everything we ordered was exceptional. Definitely recommend this for a breakfast/brunch stop for anyone looking in Uptown. We will always come back when we're in town! Absolutely wonderful!!“

“I love this restaurant! The food is beautifully prepared and presented. It is consistently good. It is a must for me anytime In in New Orleans. The andouille crusted Gulf fish is certainly fitting, but not "heavy.". Salads are fresh. A great New Orleans vibe.“

“Discovered this little gem while staying at prince Conti last year a must go for brunch“

“We stayed 1 night everyone was friendly and helpful and courteous.“

“Best amazing place ever! The food and the service was out of this world!! Missy was unbelievable and made our experience wonderful!“
