Mathieu Lanssens

Charming and beautiful (pet friendly ) terrace , friendly staff and the food was among the best we had in New Orleans. Delicious. We will definitely come back here.

Jia O.

Favorites: catfish sandwich , shrimp and grits , cochon de lait, only complaint was the French toast was a bit dense and dry, make a reservation and request the courtyard

Lucky Monkeyfish

Gumbo was excellent, couchon de lait very garlicky, yummy, and huge! The star of the meal was the Chocolate melting cake with chicory coffee ice cream - amazing!! We might have to come to get it again!

Ryan Tate

The courtyard cocktail , which changes regularly, was a superb start (a Moscow mule variation that still haunts me). The food was all superlative, particularly the creole poutin , shrimp grits , gumbo .

Alexis Villanueva

I love the Shrimps&Grits and Cocktails : ask for the Mambo Mule or any other with ginger ; excellent service. Stay in the terrace and enjoy the view .

Elizabeth Burstein

Awesome outdoor ambiance, indoor was nice too, the shrimp and grits were delicious, the Louisiana linguine was yummy but very heavy

Connie Chiu

Gorgeous courtyard with some good food. The crawfish linguine , shrimp and grits , and gumbo are tasty! The 9 layer cake is good too but a little too sweet.

Raj S.

A great place to bring a date. The Chicken gumbo was absolutely incredible. I enjoyed the rye cocktail as well , but it was a little too sweet. You really can't go wrong with the menu.

Stephanie

The Smoked Salmon Smorrebro on Challah bread with a side arugula salad w/ fresh dill and cherry tomatoes was just perfect. Sit outside if you can, the courtyard is adorable!

Ariana Voyer

Nice courtyard to sit outside. Order the shrimp and grits ! Would skip the baked oysters with spinach next time.

James Mayes

Simply the best I've eaten in Nola. 3 people vs 6 starters is the way to go!

Kaitlin

It's worth the wait for brunch . Really wonderful food and the most attentive service ! A really quaint place, too, feels like the old South.

Vivian E

Shrimp and grits , gumbo , and the orange blossom . Lovely atmosphere. Still thinking of that gumbo ...

Debby Niesen

South side Fizz and Ruby Slipper cocktails refreshing and not too sweet. Shrimp and grits small plate just right for lunch and very tasty with a bit of spice to it

Denette

The seating ladies weren't very professional but our server was delightful! The brunch menu and cocktails were great!! The outdoor seating is quite lovely but can get hot in the summer.

Drewski

Cochon de lait sandwich , shrimp and grits , and poutine were all phenomenal. Outdoor seating is very cool. Highly recommend.

Diandra Esparza

Fig & Got cheese bread was AMAZING. Best Cajun chicken & waffles ever. Beet salad was very refreshing.

Maria Vazquez

The specials were delicious! We were a group of 10. 1 bride to be and her bride squad. The service was great. Thanks for the free shot!

Adrienne L

If the lamb meatloaf is available, get it! Very good breakfast cocktails as well .

Iain Schmitt

The duck is divine, and the atmosphere is very intimate . Make sure to eat in the courtyard when the weather is nice!

Gadi Shamia

Great cafe food. Roast lamb Croque was awesome and so did the curried pumpkin soup .

Roberto

Best restaurant in NOLA. Lamb amazing. Ambiance stellar. Duck was special. Loved it all. Must go.

E Gooden

Amazing cocktails ....and the shrimp n grits are the best I've ever had. Also sit in the courtyard .

Zuriel Barron

The Amelie pasta was perfect! The jumbo shrimp was delicious and the sauce was simple and delicate. Loved it.

Leigh Keaveney

Get the crab cake ! It's fantastic! The farmers market pasta was superb. Also, be sure to make a reservation ... This place fills up fast.

Melissa Foo

Try the Brussel Sprouts A La Planca - So good we ordered a second plate.

Giorgia Lucciola

Waitstaff at the bar is awesome and incredibly helpful. Sit in the courtyard , it's beautiful.

Bruna Crepaldi

The duck carbonara are the best I've ever had! You won't go wrong with it!!!

Lee Curbo

Absolutely yummy! I can also say that the corn linguini (forgive me for not remembering the exact name) was amazing.... And so was the berry crisp with vanilla bean ice cream !!

Enny Lv

Tip: Make reservations bc they have quite a bit of wait. It's the prettiest little place ever. Didn't have enough time to wait 45 minutes but next time will plan for this.

Racky Ross

My first breakfast in this awesome city ! Loved the pain perdu (lost bread )!

Erica Renee

Bring your date (or lady outing) here - the courtyard and Carriage House are both incredibly charming. Fantastic cocktails .

Farhat Sikder

I got the shrimp and grits and it was it was really good but heavy.

Delicious garden restaurant ! Pet friendly !

Colin Lee

Burrata ; shrimp and grits ; cheesecake were out of this world amazing

Venkatesh Hodavdekar

Try to get outside seating . The pork cochon and meatloaf sandwiches are really good.

Raquel GC

Great atmosphere and very beautiful patio . The food, however, is quite underwhelming

Avi Schwab

Protip: order the meatloaf , cochon du lait, and two shrimp and grits . Share them between the two of you.

Ted N

Cochon de Lait sandwich with rose is perfection.

Kelsey Anderson

Sit in the courtyard if you can. The lamb meatloaf and the pecan pie are to die for.

Cherie LeJeune

Amazing- great atmosphere and umbrellas for shade at outside brunch

Ian Ker-Seymer

the food is superb, the atmosphere is delightful, and the key line pie is a must! A+!

Megan Krueger

Amazing food. Friendly staff . Sit outside in the courtyard in the shade. Great place!!!! A must for brunch .

Charlottes

Overrated I thought when there's so much good cheap food around. I was hoping for and craving super clean , produce driven cooking. I got greasy crab cakes and pasta with an overly sweet Riesling
