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.

    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.

    We made reservation to celebrate my husband’s birthday. From the minute we entered the restaurant we were warmly welcomed. The restaurant was very busy and we waited for a short while as they prepared our table. The service was excellent during our meal including offering recommendations for meal choices. Food was superb and again service was very courteous and attentive. The staff surprised my husband with an amazing dessert of cake/ice cream covered with cotton candy and candle!! A spectacular presentation. We so enjoyed every minute of our evening and highly recommend this restaurant in New Orleans.

    Our food was great! Atmosphere was good. It wasn’t too formal I wore a tank top and skirt. No hats in the formal dining room! Drinks were good also. Just don’t get the Bloody Mary if you don’t like spices!

    Our whole table was extremely underwhelmed by this restaurant. The food portions were small, the taste of the food was well under expectations and we all left hungry. The service and staff were amazing, but I think there are much better restaurants in New Orleans to eat at versus here.
