Welcome to Brennan's! Our menus marry classic Creole traditions with inspired, contemporary influences. Breakfast at Brennan’s is a spirited, indulgent way to begin your day! Bubbles at Brennan's Happy Hour features discounted bottles of premium Champagne. Flaming Bananas Foster, invented at Brennan's, is a timeless New Orleans tradition.

Why they're an Icon

From the OpenTable editors: The place to be seen sipping bubbles at Benedict brunch, Brennan’s is one of the most stunning restaurants in New Orleans—long before the era of Instagram. Think black-and-white tile floors, a pastel pink exterior, and minty fresh leather booths, with character dating back to 1946. Bananas foster was invented here, and suited servers still fire it up tableside. The accolades keep rolling in: It's a James Beard semifinalist, Condé Nast Traveler world favorite, and Wine Spectator darling.

    Food was greasy (soft shell crab), shrimp and grits were under seasoned and pancakes under cooked. I never in a million years years thought I would be writing this review - in the past it’s been spectacular

    We celebrated my sister’s birthday and had brunch. The food was great! Had the Caesar salad and the steak and eggs and both were amazing!! Had the bananas foster and it was so good! They made my sister feel very special on her birthday. Every staff member that passed by wished her a happy birthday. They brought her a cotton candy dessert with ice cream and cake in the middle. I didn’t even ask for the extra birthday stuff, they just did it which was really cool. The restaurant is really cool inside and staff was super friendly. I highly recommend Brennan’s

    This was my second time eating at Brennan's once for brunch and once for dinner. Our dinner this week was good, food fresh and flavorful. I will say I enjoyed the brunch a little more based on the food options. Both times we had the signature dish, bananas foster which was amazing. Our waiter and the rest of the staff were excellent. We where a little disappointed in the sommelier who did not seem to very knowledgeable. How he handled serving our wine was not very professional and thankfully our waiter corrected the issue. Would definitely dine there the next time we are in NOLA.

    My wife & I were in NOLA and had been dying to try Banana’s Foster from the place they originated in. The presentation and story was excellent. The dish itself was fantastic and we even stuck around to partake in the Bubbly Happy Hour. Great experience and we’ll definitely be back.

    We were greeted warmly as soon as we walked in. We came directly from the airport. The young lady was able to help us store our luggage while we dined. The table service from Chaline and Don was awesome. They were friendly, professional, and welcoming. We even got a pleasant greeting from the manager and assistant manager, who also came back to our table to check on us. I had the Eggs Hussarde which was delicious. My only negative comment--the dish wasn't piping hot it was warm. Please make sure the food is HOT when served to guests. Otherwise, it was a good experience. We would return.
