Best Creole Restaurants in Mid-City / City Park

We've been dining at Arnaud's for special occasions for years and years. So it was a happy occasion to find ourselves back at Arnaud's again this week for an annual birthday celebration. And, we'll be back again. Listen.....this establishment is a real gem that keeps focused on getting better and delivering the results. GREAT food, wide range of creative signature menu choices and - as always- superlative service. Don't miss an opportunity to dine at Arnaud's if you're in NOLA.

Antoine’s delivered an extraordinary dining experience for my team and me. Ziggy and Myles provided impeccable, attentive service, elevating the evening with their warmth, professionalism, and impressive knowledge of the menu and the restaurant’s rich history. Each dish was a true work of art, showcasing rich, balanced flavors and exquisite attention to detail. Steeped in tradition, Antoine’s is a culinary gem that flawlessly blends timeless elegance with unmatched expertise. An unforgettable experience!

I came to New Orleans for a quick two-day trip to attend a wedding at The Omni, and I’m so glad I made time for brunch at Brennan’s! My best friend was with me, and we celebrated her birthday with a fabulous meal at this iconic spot. From start to finish, our experience was exceptional. The service was flawless—attentive, friendly, and professional. Our server made sure we were well taken care of, and the food? Absolutely delicious. Every dish we tried was bursting with flavor and beautifully presented. A special highlight was when Jason, the manager, took us on a short tour of the restaurant. The ambiance is nothing short of breathtaking. I can’t even begin to describe how stunning the space is, with its elegant décor and warm, welcoming atmosphere. It's truly a feast for the eyes as much as it is for the stomach. As a Las Vegas native, I’ve dined at some great places, but Brennan’s stands out. I can’t wait to come back to New Orleans and visit again. Highly recommend it for anyone looking for a top-notch culinary experience. 10/10—absolutely loved it!

Arnaud's is a special jewel in the crown of authentic New Orleans dining. Its ambience, personnel, history, location, and, of course, its cuisine make it a destination for anyone wanting to experience "what makes New Orleans unique."

Food and service were excellent. Duck crepes, Grilled Romain Salad, Strawberry, Beat and Watermelon Radish Salad, Housemade Strawberry shortcake - yum! We tried some new items prepared by new Executive Chef Chris Vazquez that are coming soon! Can't wait to taste the items that he has in store for this wonderful Brennan Restaurant.
