50 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants New Orleans

“I forgot to finish my review and post it. My husband and I were in NOLA for the first time, we were celebrating our 20th wedding anniversary, in August 2023. I have a gluten allergy and it was difficult to find authentic NOLA food that was gluten free. I am so glad I found Atchafalaya Restaurant!! The food was absolutely fantastic and they had several gluten free options! Our waitress was amazing. The restaurant was very cute inside and had a lot more seating than it looked like from the outside.“

“Late review but I went here last year after wanting to visit for a long time. Definitely worth it. Been a long time fan and this place is worth the hype, I also recommend grabbing a cook book from 'em. It's the better than the Bible.“

“What an awesome gem that we found on the way to the Jazz Fest. Located in Mid-City, the building and the restaurant has been around for a long time. We arrived at 10:30am and had a yummy roast beef & gravy po boy on the best bread I have ever had on a sandwich!! The venue is set up for community and it was clear that all are welcome. Even in the morning, the staff was friendly and inviting and the locals and tourists were coming by for great food, drinks, and a good time.“

“Amazing BBQ Shrimp Po Boy!!!“

“It’s been a while since we visited Plume, but we have always had SUCH a great experience! The food is delicious - my favs include the fried chicken and the naan. If you can’t eat in, the food travels/delivers very well to your house and is still very yummy!“

“The veggie sandwich is amazing and the bok choy is seriously craveable. We ordered almost everything on the menu and it was all delicious!“

“Had the most divine time and the staff was amazing. I got to know the owner's children who are amazing young men. They were very welcoming and informative about the history of the restaurant. Had the red snapper with rice and the veggie tray with injera bread. Gonna use my leftover injera for twist-on crepes in the morning.“

“I have been sending people to Bar Tonique for close to a year from my position as liquor vault manager at the Sazerac House. So many return to tell me what a great experience they had & to thank me for recommending it. I have left the position at Sazerac House & won't be sending any more from there, Good luck to all the craftsmen & women behind this truly wonderful place!“

“Great food and wonderful atmosphere“

“Cozy ambience with a unique, delicious drink menu. They also offer their kitchen to local food businesses, and the Asian fusion one there when I went was phenomenal. Donavin makes a wonderful drink called “Thank You for Being a Friend” with Louisiana run, almond, passionfruit, and smoky amaro – must try! I was in town for the Home + Garden Show, and Barrel Proof was the perfect unwind!“

“Excellent music, good (and cheap) drinks, chill and friendly atmosphere.“

“I’m a local who has dined at many N.O. restaurants and Cafe Amelie is my favorite. Charming atmosphere and THE BEST food and drinks!“

“I go to Le Bon Temps often and they have some good music. They also have FREE oysters on Fridays but they go quick so you need to get there early! They have a kitchen that serves food and they have some good burgers here. The bar is divided into 2 main areas with the front being full of pool tables and the back where the bands play. This is usually a really fun bar to watch music until the point that it gets too crowded, which is way too often, but you always have the front area of the bar to escape to. The back area, where the bands play, can just get miserably crowded especially on Thursday nights when bands like the Soul Rebels play (it also is a bad "tradition" that the Soul Rebels NEVER start on time so it is like 12:30 or 1am before they start usually so if you have to work the next day that really is a challenge). There are also some people that take their pool games WAY too seriously in here and I've seen a few fights break out over a stupid game so don't get in those folks way. Parking can sometimes be a bit of a challenge but if you get far enough away you can always find a spot. They usually have pretty quick bar service and I usually prefer the front bar when there is music as it is quicker to get served than fighting the often formidable crowd in the back. There is always an interesting crowd here and there is a special plaque on the bar involving a historical person that I will let you discover yourself (maybe further down in this review even). There always seems to be something going on here when it seems nothing else is anywhere else in the area. Overall this is one of the best classic dive bars and music venues in the entire New Orleans area. FYI: This is yet another of the bars that claims the notoriety of having had Lee Harvey Oswald as a frequent customer. You can go to YouTube and search for NOLA Gent to see my video on Le Bon Temps Roule!“

“Stopped infor the first time yesterday and couldn't believe what I have been missing! I had the BEST Bloody Mary I've had in years, and the frozen concoction they were serving tasted like heaven. We will definitely be making this a regular stop.“

“Excellent experience. Super friendly staff . Great food! Dog friendly. Nice outside dinning“

“Relaxing atmosphere! OAN Of course those Beignets!“

“Love this place! Got the Watermelon and Cucumber with Tajin, highly recommend!!“

“When I’m on my deathbed and asked if there’s anything in life I would have again, it would be Erin Rose Bar’s Frozen Irish Coffee in an absolute heartbeat. As a tourist, don’t expect for the locals to be chummy with you, as they’re there to do their job and keep the pace going. Stay for the drinks and enmesh yourself in the atmosphere, but BY GODS there is a reason the best cocktail bartenders in the world rave about this place. Don’t.?? Even.?? Hesitate.??“

“The food and atmosphere is spot on!! However, needs to have REAL flatware to go with the REAL dishes instead of plastic knives, spoons and forks!! That would increase the quality of the dining experience!“

“I love Lil Dizzy’s food! The gumbo is like no other. The crawfish bisque is absolutely amazing. The fried chicken is just like my grandma’s. OMG I can go on and on, the Mac and sweet potatoes, potato salad, and so much more! You have to experience this place for yourself.“

“My family and I had a very pleasant experience here! The staff was attentive and friendly.“

“Just wow! Long time vegan who travels the world and US trying vegan places and everything we had here was the best we’ve ever had!! Nothing compares to plant based organic, most vegan food these days is wildly unhealthy but this place was truly legit.“

“Loved eating in the courtyard last night. Service was awesome!“

“Quaint little shop on a sweet little corner in a charming little neighborhood. Staff are friendly, attentive and very good at what they do. Great selection of desserts and lunch items.“

“We went yesterday and the wait was 2 hours. Got there a little earlier today and we got in. I’ve eaten at the Uptown location and was so happy they opened up another one that’s closer. It was my daughter’s first time and she said the food is so good and understands why there is a wait.“

“The first time I visited, the case was empty. Sold out. So I came back and it was worth the visit. I purchased 4 different items so I could taste test. The London fog twist with pistachio and the potato/cheese croissant are amazing. The cinnamon roll wonderful.Vegetarian options: Plenty of meat free choices and vegan cookies.Wheelchair accessibility: Nothing in New Orleans is “accessible” because there are no curb cuts or automatic doors.“

“Love trying new places. Not vegan so it was very different. Presentation incredible. Not crazy about the different spices but that is on my palate.“

“Amazing Event Cakes — We had a formal event this weekend for which Bywater provided our cakes. The chocolate peanut butter was to die for. The other cake was not what we ordered but we loved it just the same. If you need a cake for any occasion, we highly recommend Bywater Bakery.“

“My husband and I came down from Boston for a long weekend in New Orleans and this is definitely worth a stop! We had a tour of the distillery with Alyson and she was very knowledgeable, funny and witty. We tore a lot of distilleries and wineries and breweries, and they had an excellent and very high-quality selection of bourbon available. They also offered some unique vodkas. You can't really go wrong here at all. After our tour, we ordered some drinks at the bar while we were purchasing some bottles to take home, and the bartender made some excellent recommendations of signature cocktails on their menu. Very good experience and highly recommend“

“If I could give this food & to go package a 10 star review I would. This food was amazing-i can’t wait to dine in for the entire experience.Seriously impressed with both the bagel & bialy on the light & fluffy but not chewy texture.“

“Go to the Rusty Nail for exceptional bourbons, knowledgeable, friendly staff, great prices & excellent service... it's well worth would it takes to find it. Also they have a 25% off whiskey Wednesdays!!! Wife and I happened to get there b4 opening on Wednesday. One of the staff ladies took us around inside to show us what Bourbons they had available. Treated us very very kindly...!!! Went back later after a terrible experience at Barrel proof and we just sat there for about 2 hours and enjoyed ourselves. When we get back to New Orleans we'll be back!!“

“French Truck Coffee used to be much stronger when this place opened up on 1200 Magazine St. I would gladly be willing to pay the increase if you need to adjust the recipe for your iced coffee brewing process. I'm sure the locals would agree. Thank you! This is coming from one of your first local customers when you guys opened up. Keep the coffee strong! We Love It!“

“Great Guinness and service“

“Friendly beer garden with a delicious ocassional vegan food truck.“

“Might be the best brewery in Nola. Very imaginative (and delicious) beers, with no fear about mixing things up a bit. Their pours tend toward exacting flavors, well presented, with no fluff, as you would expect from someone that knows exactly what they are doing.“

“Great Bubbly selection. Warm & welcoming staff! Get a bubbly flight! And please try the popcorn!!!“

“The food is always fresh and has the best flavors!! The Chef is culinary genius!!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Fantastic Establishment recommend highly“

“Lovely atmosphere! Bright and airy. Drink menu was phenomenal. And the bartender!!!! I wish I remembered her name. Sweet girl from Mississippi. She was amazing! Creative with her cocktails, very pleasant, informative, just the best!! Cheers to her abs this wonderful place! The place set the ambiance, she set the tone! It was a great experience!“

“This was a nice find. The outdoor eating space is quaint and has a wonderful atmosphere. The food was good but a little pricey for what you get. I had the braised pork tacos which were really tasty. My wife had a chicken quesadilla and we shared some chips and queso. We each had a margarita, her Jalepeno and me strawberry. Bill was just over 50.00 with tip. Give Barracuda a try, I think you will like it.“

“Amazing experience. Food was phenomenal and beer was perfect.“

“Best breakfast in New Orleans“

“Great food and good beers“

“Great place good food, broiled oysters are great.“

“Great espresso, nice spot.“

“The octopus is amazing! My first time eating it and they nailed how to make chargrilled octopus!“

“Delish Indian Tikka Masala, Korean BBQ Wings and Calamari Salad. So Good!“

“One of a kind ice-cream! Really enjoy the creativity of flavors y'all have and enjoy the new ones each time you release! My personal favorite is the Thai tea & Oreo cookie; the contrast from the tea/cookie looks so pretty too! Go for the best ice cream ever!“

“Great spot! Bring a book take a book, games, n great music“

“I really wanted to hate this place. Another hipster gentrifying the neighborhood with their pseudo-ethnic cuisine. This rich boy, Banksy buying, carpet bagger…. I so very much wanted to hate it. But I couldn’t. It was just too good. The food was delicious. The prices were just right. The authentic tile work and gas station bathroom were absolutely delightful. The servers were raw and righteous. The way the owner spoke…. The little frogs…. The whole vibe just felt right. I couldn’t hate it. I loved it.“
