About this restaurant

  • Neighborhood gem
  • Good for special occasions
  • Charming
Atchafalaya is a true New Orleans neighborhood eatery where the eclectic yet elegant atmosphere is only outshone by the attentive service and delicious local fare. Nestled under the oaks on the edges of the Irish Channel, Magazine Street, and historic Garden districts, this hidden gem is one the best contemporary Creole dining experiences that one can find in the city. Neighbors, locals, and out of towners alike will become regulars after experiencing the brand of hospitality offered by New Orleans’ only five “A” restaurant. If having standards such as a gumbo du jour, blue crab raviolo, or shrimp & grits, a nightly seafood special, or a filet paired with a selection from the world class wine program you will not be disappointed. The introductions of brunch, live music, cocktails, and now an extensive happy hour continue the newest culinary chapter for a storied local haunt, embracing New Orleans’ culinary culture while placing contemporary spin on traditional New Orleans cuisine.

    We had an outstanding experience last night at Atchafalaya. The entire staff was incredibly friendly and attentive. The host told us of his favorite dishes on the menu, our server was professional and knowledgeable about the food and drinks. We started with the crawfish bisque and friend oysters- extraordinary. The pork chop and wagyu steak were over the top delicious and perfectly cooked. Great cocktail and bottle of wine completed our experience. Tony, the owner was making sure all his patrons were taken care of. Five stars!!!

    We had an incredible brunch at Atchafalaya while celebrating my husband’s birthday. The staff made it extra special by decorating the table, which was such a thoughtful touch. The food was absolutely delicious — we ordered the duck hash and the shrimp and grits, and honestly, the shrimp and grits might be the best in town. The biscuits were fantastic too. Overall, a beautiful meal and a great vibe.
