Best Creole Restaurants in St. Bernard

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.

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."

Mr B's was, overall, the perfect way to end a good week full of good food in NOLA. The braised short rib dinner was very good. The bacon- wrapped shrimp and grits dish was one of the best renditions of that dish we've ever had, and we have sampled many. The Gallette de Roi (king cake) was fabulous, and, as a bonus, it wasn't covered with the bizarre -- and to me, off-putting -- purple, green and gold colors that the store bought ones have. Finally, our server, Rasheed, turned a great meal into an overall superb evening. He was efficient and helpful without being intrusive, very personable to talk to, and he provided thoughtful insights as we asked about some of the dishes and how they might appeal to our preferences. He was extremely professional, and yet he felt like a friend by the time we left. (If the management is reading this, you need to hold on to this guy with both hands. Give him a promotion and a big raise to ensure no one else snaps him up.) We'll definitely go back to Mr. Bs the next time we're in New Orleans.

The beer was expected to be good, but the food was a pleasant surprise. My kids love the pretzels and the ribs were outstanding, very rich and flavorful
