$$$$Price: Expensive

• French • Garden District

Booked 56 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.

My sister and I started at the bar during happy hour and Bayne took great care of us! Then was aeated at our table for our 4:45 dinner reservation. We ordered a happy hour fungi pizza to start our culinary adventure mmmm mmm, next we ordered the al dente carrots with goat cheese and chili oil - all the feels! sweet, savory, spicy and crunchy (the large bread crumbs were super crunchy and were a fun element) We split the lasagna which was rich and delish and finished off our dining experience with a traditional cannoli dipped in pistachios. Oh and the bread with the chili oil, we munched throughout our dinner - wowza!!!
