Why they're an Icon

Executive chef: Tommy DiGiovanni

From the OpenTable editors: This legendary restaurant has been doing some of the best Creole fine dining in the French Quarter for more than 100 years. Chandeliers, white tablecloths, and tiled floors set the stage for a series of NOLA favorites like the must-order soufflé potatoes, seafood gumbo, and the spice-studded café brulot that's torched tableside. Make sure to grab a classic New Orleans cocktail before or after your meal at French 75, Arnaud's adjacent James Beard Award-winning bar.

    The only negative we had was the noise level but mostly on us. We had expected a more subdued atmosphere. It is more like a large New York steakhouse with New Orleans flair—not bad, just not what we anticipated. Otherwise great meal, service and experience.

    Excellent experience. The food was incredible- the bisque was out of this world. The eggs sardou were pretty good; the artichoke base was a bit bland, and I would have loved some sort of bread because it's a runny dish. Drinks were great, bananas foster was fun. Jazz trio was the perfect touch and nor too loud. Crab cakes were delicious. Would love to return to try the crab cheesecake.

    Sunday Jazz Brunch was delightful and truly a bargain. Excellent food, ambiance, service and entertainment. Sunday brunch is a three course fixed price menu. I started with the Arnaud’s house salad which included pistachios and a heavenly dressing. Then came a veal schnitzel topped with a poached egg. The Beal was so tender it melted in my mouth. Finally for dessert, bananas foster prepared table side. The jazz trio played great music going from table to table taking requests. A very enjoyable experience.

    One of the best brunches we’ve ever had! Food portions were perfect and everything was delicious. The Trio band stopped at our table and played a song on request, absolutely amazing and made for a very memorable experience.
