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. Dine in one of 8 glamorous dining rooms, our famously lush courtyard, or our spectacular wine cellar.

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.

    Breakfast at Brennan’s is a classic New Orleans experience and this did not disappoint! The French toast appetizer was like dessert before the main, and both breakfast entrees were spectacular! The staff was AMAZING! Friendly, delightful and warm!

    Had dinner at Brennan’s the other night and everything was excellent. The service was attentive and friendly, and the food was outstanding. A highlight of the evening was Ashley’s presentation of the Bananas Foster—it was both impressive and delicious. Highly recommend!

    We felt we were rushed and the appetizer and bottle of wine came out quickly, before I was halfway finished with my cocktail. My wife’s entree was lukewarm and served as if they were waiting on us to finish appetizer. Noisy and not at the least bit intimate for a romantic dinner. We had a wonderful experience for a $100 less dollars at The Court of Two Sisters just down the street the night before. Under no circumstance, would I dine at Brennan’s again with so many more options in New Orleans.

    It's a beautiful place with a lot of history, but the dinners we had did not live up to their reputation. Our biggest disappointment was the roasted okra side dish, which was tough, stringy and completely inedible. We sent it back, and they apologized that it was a new item on the menu. Perhaps they had not tried it themselves, but they did not offer to redo it, so we must have received it the way they intended. After our generally-disappointing dinner, we did not order dessert. The offerings didn't make us imagine we were missing anything.
