  • Neighbourhood gem
  • Charming
  • Good for special occasions
Atchafalaya is a true New Orleans neighborhood eatery where the eclectic yet elegant atmosphere is only outshone by the attentive service and delicious local fare. Nestled under the oaks on the edges of the Irish Channel, Magazine Street, and historic Garden districts, this hidden gem is one the best contemporary Creole dining experiences that one can find in the city. Neighbors, locals, and out of towners alike will become regulars after experiencing the brand of hospitality offered by New Orleans’ only five “A” restaurant. If having standards such as a gumbo du jour, blue crab raviolo, or shrimp & grits, a nightly seafood special, or a filet paired with a selection from the world class wine program you will not be disappointed. The introductions of brunch, live music, cocktails, and now an extensive happy hour continue the newest culinary chapter for a storied local haunt, embracing New Orleans’ culinary culture while placing contemporary spin on traditional New Orleans cuisine.

    One of my top ten restaurants in this foodie city I’ve lived in my whole life. My family celebrates our milestones there- holidays, birthdays, graduations…it’s the first place my out of town family goes when they get here. Superb service and delicious food. It means more to us than just a place to eat. It’s a special part of our lives.

    The service was great. Particularly willingness to accommodate for some specific less-than-usual needs for one member of our group. The food was very enjoyable all around as was the atmosphere.

    Atchafalaya is one of the great restaurants in all of New Orleans! The food is fresh, well prepared, with an original flair. The location is great, and the Uptown lower garden district. Definitely a memorable and uniquely Big Easy experience.

    We had an amazing time, Katie was so knowledgeable about the menu and answered all of our questions. She guided us through each course with delicious drink recommendations and outstanding service. Thank you Katie and the rest of staff for making our last night it town an unforgettable one. Will be coming back!
