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.

    The service at Brennan’s was absolutely amazing our servers were attentive, kind, and really elevated the experience. The banana bread dessert was a standout and truly delicious. However, the main dishes fell short. The food felt very basic and “safe,” lacking the bold, authentic New Orleans flavors I was hoping for. It seemed tailored more toward a specific, upscale crowd rather than representing the rich depth of Creole cuisine. Overall, I appreciated the ambiance and dessert, but I wish the rest of the meal had lived up to the hype.

    We LOVED everything except the Peaches & Cream appetizer. They were not like the Apples & Heavy Cream we had expected. But that was the only thing that was not up to par. We had a reservation and therefore no waiting. The servers were always available and attentive. The bread was hot and plentiful, the turtle soup was great, and of course the Eggs Hussarde were the delight of the meal (not counting dessert) and we paired them with Cheddar Grits. And then came the grand finale - World Famous Bananas Foster. WOW We will go back again next year. Thanks.
