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.

    It wasn’t bad… but it wasn’t good. The price points, there are so many other places to go to.

    All of the savory dishes, gumbo, boudin, BBQ shrimp and grits were excellent. The praline bread pudding might have been the highlight alongside the boudin.

    The food was just okay. Nothing spectacular to say about any of the plates we had. But our waiter Victor was awesome!!! He made the night. The drinks were awful and we should have known because no one was at the bar.

    Service was great but the food was just ok. Menu was limited. The mushroom gnocchi was very salty and rich. The hanger steak wasn’t good and had to really cut it up in order to chew. We wanted to like this place, but it just fell short for us.

    I have eaten here many times, but after tonight’s experience I will not return. Server was rushed and borderline rude, food was not hot and average at best (only the bread pudding was excellent). On a rainy night, when leaving, we asked if they would call us a taxi- the answer was “no, we cannot- your best bet is to stand in the street and wave one down”. There are far too many other wonderful choices in the quarter to choose from
