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.

    Brennan’s knocked this brunch out of the park! We had 5 people including two wheelchair guests. Our server Stephanie took the absolute best care of each of us. The food and drinks were excellent. Stephanie gave a fun filled history of the flaming Bananas Foster. We had a wonderful meal and will return. Ask for Stephanie if you dine for brunch. She is 5 star!

    Unfortunately, our food was cold and not as ordered. Our waitress was dismissive when we ordered the food, the food then came out incorrect or with missing plates, and the waitress did not return to check on the food.

    We have visited here several times and always set up our friends who visit while we're not there so they get a great experience in the FQ. Brennan's NEVER disappoints. I've provided personal feedback and always follow up with feedback from the ones we reserve for. The friends that visited yesterday were just flabbergasted at how much they felt warm and welcomed. They expressed they felt at home and well guided through their brunch experience and hoped they have the opportunity to dine here again on their next trip down. Aside from adding the most recent feed back from some of our friends we hope you grab the opportunity to dine here as well. It's truly a must have experience whether it's your first or last time to NOLA!

    You can’t visit New Orleans and not visit Brennan’s. From check in, to saying goodbye it is first class. We both enjoyed our entrees but - warning - portion sizes are small compared to other US restaurants. So be sure to get an appetizer! We loved it here and can’t wait to come back.

    The ambience was beautiful. Unfortunately, our waiter was very rude. When proposing questions about the menu, she responded with sarcasm & disdain for the questions. I ordered steak to be cooked medium and she tried to correct me to have it cooked medium rare. When the steak arrived it was bloody. When offering dessert options she said she was thankful we didn’t order dessert, as she was afraid she would have to give the production speech for bananas foster again. I have never experienced such an openly rude level of service. All other staff were very kind and helpful and other food was good. However, our waitress was openly condescending in her manner and words. She obviously did not want to be there. Unfortunately, we just had horrible service.

    We LOVE Breakfast at Brennan's! My husband had the fish (loved it!) and I had my usual Eggs Hussarde, which is always delicious. Of course we had to have Banana's Foster (yum!) and our server (Jamie) was outstanding! Love the ambiance and history of Brennan's too. Don't miss it when you are in New Orleans!

    Absolutely perfect experience and a major highlight of our trip. We went for Sunday brunch and the food was all so great. We especially loved the cinnamon roll and crab / avocado toast. The service was impeccable and our waitress (beautiful lady with dark hair/ dark eyes, pretty complexion) took such great care of us and made us feel special as we were there celebrating a military retirement. The owner of manager also came over to talk to us. The ambiance was also so beautiful and the hostess at the front was so sweet and took her time getting a great pic of my family. This restaurant is a truly special place and should be at the top of all New Orleans bucket lists !!
