Why they're an Icon

Executive chef: Tommy DiGiovanni

From the OpenTable editors: This legendary restaurant has been doing some of the best Creole fine dining in the French Quarter for more than 100 years. Chandeliers, white tablecloths, and tiled floors set the stage for a series of NOLA favorites like the must-order soufflé potatoes, seafood gumbo, and the spice-studded café brulot that's torched tableside. Make sure to grab a classic New Orleans cocktail before or after your meal at French 75, Arnaud's adjacent James Beard Award-winning bar.

    Terrible dining experience. They make you sit upstairs in a bowling alley type arrangement. No class type dining experience.

    It was good! Not great and in comparison to other restaurants in New Orleans, I found Arnauds to be "fine". The service was Excellent! The food was good, I found my fish to be a small portion. Love the bananas foster! The cauliflower was a bit watery an the wine was a short glass.

    Jeff was fantastic! He was prompt and knowledgeable on every dish. We enjoyed the Oyster Arnaud and the crab claws provencal. The frog legs were simply delicious. Fresh, tasty and lightly breaded. My wife had the duck which was fantastic and I ordered the veal. Both were cooked perfectly. For dessert we had the milk and honey. The honeycomb had us craving more bites! Overall we had a wonderful time and would come back.

    We received the service, good and atmosphere we were expecting. The Turtle Soup was amazing as was the individual Baked Alaska. Ask your Server what they recommend that night based on the fish they received that day. There are a lot of great restaurants in NOLA, this is a classic!
