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.

    Everyone loved their dishes, from the amuse to the fish dishes, pork chop, & desserts. Excellent service by Cory (sp?). Of course we’ll be back soon.

    We eat out at many New Orleans restaurants throughout the year -- from 5 star to 3 star. Atchafalaya Restaurant is our favorite. They never disappoint, and we always feel welcomed. The service is personable and professional, and the food is simply outstanding. The Fried Green Tomatoes are a favorite; the pork chop is tender and delicious; the crawfish bisque is one of the best. Most everything on the menu is top quality. This past Saturday was our 20th visit. The experience was just as good as the first time we went. They are consistent in their quality and service. Highly recommend.

    Fell in love with this charming restaurant. Wait staff exceptional (Kieth). Shrimp and grits one of my top ten dishes of all time (a balanced powerful flavor-bomb, with the taste of the shrimp and their shells still shining through!). Multiple other dishes excellent also: fried green tomatoes beautifully done. A destination in my opinion.
