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!

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.

    Wow! I cannot wait to come back. The service and food were so great. I was so impressed by how kind and attentive the staff was! I think every single staff member told us happy anniversary! It was such a kind and sweet touch. The food and drinks were great also!

    Brennans did not disappoint. We stopped by for breakfast as we made it to New Orleans from Houston, TX and I had an amazing birthday celebration there. The host were very friendly and who I believe is the manager was also very nice and attentive. Our waiter wasn’t very nice or attentive but he did get me a cotton candy cake and that was amazing. The food was better than I imagined. I would love to come back but I would probably do an Uber. Parking was NOT easy

    Lovely restaurant. It’s not the best service in New Orleans though. If you are having breakfast don’t come with coffee in hand… they will make you pour it out. Wasn’t our favorite.

    Hostess was rude on arrival, asked if we could go to the bar and she said table would be ready soon. Server delayed taking drink order and then waited longer for drinks to arrive. Appetizer was brought about the same time cocktails arrived at the table. Bread wasn’t brought to table until after entrees arrived. Entrees were cold and the glass of wine ordered arrived after finishing entrees. The wait staff is poorly dressed for what was once one of the best restaurants in the nation. Fifth and final visit.

    We had a very nice time, but the food took a very long time to come out despite the restaurant not being very busy. It was very tasty though. The restaurant is lovely, and we got a little birthday surprise.
