Booked 70 times today
Come dine in this beautifully restored Uptown restaurant on Magazine Street and enjoy James Beard Award Winning Chef Justin Devillier's contemporary Louisiana Cuisine.The La Petite Grocery name pays homage to the history of its home, a building that’s stood for more than a century. The original structure was built in the late 1800s and called the Central Tea, Coffee and Butter Depot. In 1908, a fire devastated the space and it was transformed into a full service grocery store. Later it was most notably a fine foods and butcher shop, VonderHaar’s Fine Foods until 1982. When La Petite Grocery opened in March of 2004, they similarly aspired to provide the neighborhood with exotic teas, locally roasted coffee, and fresh produce. By doing this, we hope to provide a dining experience that evokes nostalgia of old New Orleans. Reservations are preferred.

    Service was excellent. My sunrise mocktail very good. Get the soufflé potatoes as appetizer. The filet mignon was excellent. Seafood grillades great representation of Louisiana seafood. We also got oysters Rockefeller. Whatever you get, share it so everyone gets a taste of deliciousness. Also Antoine’s is like a museum. Our server suggested we walk around to see various dining rooms. Amazing!

    We were a party of 4 that grew to a party of 5 when a colleague called and asked to join us. The staff was super accommodating of what was likely an annoying request on a very busy night. Nigel is a phenomenal server, and took terrific care of us. The quality of the food is high and what you’d expect of a Brennan’s restaurant outlet. The bar unfortunately was very backed up and slow, but everything else was great. Get the Nutella Tart for dessert - you won’t regret it :)

    Outstanding service and the food was one of the best food stops we have while in New Orleans. Escargot, baked oysters, Duck, rack of lamb, pecan pie and the decadent chocolate cake were all on point and very tasty.
