Tujague's is the second oldest restaurant in New Orleans. This French Quarter institution has been serving traditional New Orleans cuisine to locals and visitors alike for more than 160 years.

Lore states that brunch originated here, as did the Grasshopper cocktail. Homages to the restaurant's long and colorful history abound within the interior of the building from the classic 19th century architecture to memorabilia on the walls.

Menu items such as the seared gulf fish and the daily gumbo meld French traditions with New Orleans fare and flare. Our famous five course menu is still served nightly; but have no fear, the menu is no longer pre-fixe, so those less ravenous diners can join in too.

If you want a quintessential New Orleans experience filled with history and local fare, Tujague's is your place.

Why they're an Icon

Executive chef: Gus Martin

From the OpenTable editors: It’s the second-oldest restaurant in New Orleans, with the claim to fame of inventing brunch—and some even say it’s haunted. Welcome to Tujague’s, founded by French immigrants in 1856, and still letting the good times roll for more than 160 years. Today it’s a slice of history in the French Quarter, filled with mirrors, chandeliers, and a collection of 6,000 mini liquor bottles. Don’t miss the spicy shrimp remoulade, boiled brisket, and grasshopper cocktail, another house original.

Lovely old building that has a great ambiance. Very slow service that seemed to be more unique to our table of 8 than those around us. Some of the food arrived warm/cool rather than hot. Server and staff were very friendly which made up for a lot. Most of the dishes were delicious as had been advertised.

Great experience- interesting posts because either 5 star or 1 star, however, most of the 1 star had to do with Christmas and New Years. Went in hopeful and it worked out really well. Excellent waitress, host was polite and friendly, accommodating staff, and the food was excellent. Appropriate time-wait for staff, food came out hot and perfectly cooked.

Wonderful experience last night. Food was so good I might go back tonight and get more of that Turtle soup. The filet was cooked perfectly and drinks were amazing. Thank you Tujagues for a great experience.

We dined on Sunday night. We ate outside in the courtyard and it was very peaceful and quiet. Unfortunately, they were out of almost all of the food we wanted to eat. Ended up with boudin balls and gumbo. Was not very impressed with either one. They gave us small portions of grasshopper drinks to compensate the lack of food that they had to serve us. That was nice, but we didn’t really like them anyway.

Lauren, I'm sorry to hear you did not have the 5-star dining experience we aim to provide. It is always dissapointing when we run out of dishes - espically when the plates you land on don't hit the spot. We will be brining your comments to our staff meeting this week to ensure this issue is met with better care in the future. Thank you for takiing the time to leave us some feedback - it is very appreciated! Best, Tujague's
