About this restaurant

  • Neighborhood 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.

    I came to Atchafalaya back in 2013, and was in New Orleans again and had great memories of the place. Decided to go back, and it did not disappoint. Awesome service, drinks, and food. Hopefully I’ll be back sooner than 12 years from now.

    We had the fried oyster appetizer and it was excellent. The thin sliced pickled peppers and foamed cheese it was served with were very complimentary to the oysters. I had seared yellowfin tuna and my wife had the cabbage steak. Both were superbly cooked and presented well with complementary flavors. The duck fat washed Sazerac was great.

    Been there several times over the last few years. Started a little slow. But once we had ordered and the food started to arrive, all was well. Best meal I have ever had there. Everyone at the table agreed (5 of us). Waiter (after the slow start) was great. Looking forward to going back soon.

    I went on father’s day with my family and my mother was in a wheelchair and the staff accommodated us with ease and kindness. They offered us a great service! We enjoyed creative dishes from the brunch menu, the food was delicious and fresh. We had a great time and I look forward to coming back!

    Gorgeous and Delicious! First time here, celebrating an annniversary, noon reservation. We were seated immediately. Ambiance was lovely, lively with conversation and jazz, colorful and fun decor. Service was perfection and we never felt rushed despite it being a full house and Father's Day. This is a foodie's paradise, one of the best meals we had during a week in NOLA. Crab cake eggs benedict was cooked just right with a fresh and pretty presentation, flavorful lightly breaded fried oysters on fresh greens & herbs with a delicate creamy dressing, gumbo of the day, soup of the day. Servings were substantial, 10 nice size oysters if memory serves! My guess is you can't go wrong here. I can't wait to explore this menu further on my next visit.
