Why they're an Icon

Executive chef: Tommy DiGiovanni

From the OpenTable editors: This legendary restaurant has been doing some of the best Creole fine dining in the French Quarter for more than 100 years. Chandeliers, white tablecloths, and tiled floors set the stage for a series of NOLA favorites like the must-order soufflé potatoes, seafood gumbo, and the spice-studded café brulot that's torched tableside. Make sure to grab a classic New Orleans cocktail before or after your meal at French 75, Arnaud's adjacent James Beard Award-winning bar.

    Wonderful experience! The food was delicious, the historic building was so cool, and the service was amazing. In a city where bad service and high prices seem to be the norm, Arnaud's is the COMPLETE opposite! The only thing I can find to "complain" about is that it felt really bright in the dining room during dinner. We all said that this was the best dinner - by far - that we had while in New Orleans. A must-try.

    Excellent experience.. did not disappoint! We have been there multiple times on our NOLA visits and the food is always consistently perfect. The staff is very kind, courteous, and knowledgeable . I’m sure we will be back on our next visit to the city.

    What a fantastic experience. From the ambience, to the excellent standards of service, to the musicians on the jazz brunch. I cannot recommend Arnaud’s more. Truly a great experience.

    The restaurant was elegant without being stuffy. Beautiful high ceilings and very little noise. Like stepping back in time in a good way. The wait staff is first rate. Attentive, informative, helpful, and extremely friendly. Made me feel very welcome. The food is exactly as I expected. Got two of the house specials and was not disappointed. Nice creole flavor that wasn’t overpowering. Traditional NOLA cuisine. All in all a very good experience and would certainly recommend it to anyone.
