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.

Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews
Arnaud's is a beloved New Orleans institution that blends "historic charm" with "impeccable service" and "classic Creole cooking." Guests rave about the Turtle Soup and Bananas Foster, while the Sunday Jazz Brunch is a "highlight" for many. Despite some room for improvement in ambiance and occasional service hiccups, it remains a "must-visit" for its rich tradition and memorable dining experience.

    Overrated. The food was disappointing. Fish was overcooked and it’s possible to be over serviced. Constant interruptions with, Do I want more bread? I ordered off the dinner menu while my husband ordered off the Chef’s Tasting Menu, definitely overrated. This is my first time to New Orleans. I would minimize the tourist traps next time.

    Tasting menu was great and my guests liked it too. Especially the turtle soup was amazing. May be a lot of sounds but not too noisy to have a business dinner.

    It’s my own fault … I booked for a Monday . Should have known that the normal good servers were off in Mondays. Service was slow all the way thru the meal. Water glasses did not get refilled from initial filling until all dinner plates were cleared at end of meal. Judith the server forgot one of our appetizers… and never said anything until end of meal when I mentioned it and she said she knew she did ???? Soufflé potatoes way over cooked and extremely salty. The other server did not know how to properly do bananas foster. Didn’t cook alcohol off , bananas put in turned over and then plated. Not even warm. Left a bit for management to call me ….. crickets ! lol Again my own fault … I have been a loyal patron for 30 years …. This one was awful!

    The food and service for brunch was impeccable as always. It made our mother’s birthday celebration a wonderful occasion for all. Thank you for continuing the New Orleans tradition in great taste! We always enjoy our Arnaud’s experience.
