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.

                      Our server was outstanding: polite, attentive,courteous. We were seated in the entry level front dining area. Even though it was immediately off the bustling busy street, there was minimal noise at the table. As we entered our dining area there was a noticeable fish order. I mentioned to that to the host and as he looked around he said oh that’s because they are eating fish. Well, we’ve eaten in a handful of quality restaurants Siri g our stay in New Orleans that serve fish and not once did we experience an overwhelming fishy odor. I had the New Orleans barbecued shrimp that was swimming in a very tart overpowering sauce. Two of the shrimp heads were separated from the tail. Next I had the turtle soup that barely had any trace of turtle meat but had the same overpowering vinegary taste and lacked any other flavor. There were chunks of canned tomato bits floating in the soup. Both my choices were underwhelming. My husband had the mushroom gnocchi and the grilled gulf fish entree. The fish was flaky and mild. I would not recommend this restaurant being there are so many other excellent choices in the vicinity .

                      Honestly was a little worried after reading reviews but thankfully I’m a food person who doesn’t judge a place based on a few bad experiences during a holiday. Everything was fantastic! My server was attentive and friendly, very helpful with the menu as well! The Bbq Shrimp appetizer was delicious, the gulf fish tasty especially with a glass of house Chardonnay and the pot de creme so deliciously chocolately I almost got another! All in all this place was fantastic and I’d definitely go back!

                      We didn’t have a great experience here despite this being a highly recommended place. We picked this place because of its numerous mentions in food blogs but this was far from creole food. The chicken was really dry and tough to eat and lacked flavor. Then service was great though.

                      Steak was tiny and over done. Gnocchi only came with 6 gnocchi and they were terrible. Slow service. Super expensive for how poorly it tasted & how tiny the portions were. Will not ever return!
