About this restaurant

  • Neighborhood gem
  • Great for creative cocktails
  • Good for special occasions
Toups' Meatery is a contemporary Cajun restaurant featuring fine food, wine, specialty cocktails, extensive Bourbon selection and charcuterie inspired by deep-rooted Louisiana family traditions. Chef Isaac Toups represents the new guard of Cajun chefs for his updated refined approach to rustic dishes. Cooking the food that’s closest to his heart has earned him rave reviews including recently being named a James Beard Semi-Finalist for Best Chef of the South 2014 & 2015. Located in beautiful Mid City near City Park and the New Orleans Museum of Art.

Why they're an Icon

Executive chef: Isaac Toups

From the OpenTable editors: Multi-James Beard Award-nominated chef and Louisiana native Issac Toups’s namesake restaurant is a celebration of all things meat. Like his mentor Emeril Lagasse, Toups gives Cajun classics a sophisticated spin with signature dishes like a double-cut pork chop with dirty rice and cane syrup gastrique. A rustic-chic space with a shaded plant-decked patio, pitch-perfect wines, and an extensive bourbon collection add to the lively vibe—just as a New Orleans restaurant should be.

            We had an enjoyable time Saturday at Toups. We shared an entree and sides and it was pretty tasty. It took them two tries to get the steak (yummy!) temperature correct. The service was pretty good, but a bit forgetful. They may have been understaffed. Will give them another try next time we are in town.

            10 Star Restaurant. This is an amazing dining experience. We had the Meatery appetizer and were blown away with how good was I could have eaten a whole plate of the chicken liver mousse and jelly. I had the lamb neck and butter beans and my business partner had the pork chop. The lamb melted in my mouth and he said his pork chop was the best he had ever had. We were at a trade show and I told several others there about the meal. They ended up eating there on Sunday, and had the same experience. They thanked me several times for recommending. Will eat at Toups every time we are in New Orleans

            This was our first time at Toup's, but it won't be our last! We shared the cheese board and hog's head cheese to start with and then had the lamb neck as our main course. The lamb was stunningly good: rich, flavorful meat which fell away from the bone. It was the kind of dish you find yourself thinking of days later. Exceptional.
