About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Charming
  • Great for creative cocktails
Compère Lapin - noun - "kom-pare la-pan" - 1. anthropomorphic rabbit character who served as the mischievous protagonist in Creole and Caribbean folk tales; 2. Chef Nina Compton's restaurant at the Old No 77 Hotel & Chandlery in the Warehouse Arts District of New Orleans.

Meals aren’t about trends, shock value, or opulence.
Meals are about moments, memories and those who surround you at your table.
We believe in the complexity of simplicity, and the power of pure flavors. Our histories, vast and varied, deserve to be memorialized and romanticized by dishes that at once remind us of home and transport us to somewhere new.

We don’t make food for everyone else, we make food for you.

Why they're an Icon

Executive chef: Nina Compton

From the OpenTable editors: At Compère Lapin, James Beard Award-winning chef Nina Compton dazzles with showstopping dishes that marry her Caribbean heritage and French fine dining pedigree. Dig into favorites like goat curry and broiled shrimp with Calabrian chili butter in a stylish space dressed with exposed brick and warm woods. Don’t miss award-winning cocktails like The Copper Hopper—a tropical, tequila-forward drink served in a copper bunny mug, a nod to the restaurant’s namesake folklore rabbit.

    The service was off the night we visited. There were long waits between courses. One person's course was missing and had to wait additional 10 minutes. We may have just dined on an off night. The pre fix menu was supposed to be the greatest hits but the entrees were just ok and the desserts were a miss. We wished we had just ordered off the a la carte menu. Willing to give it another try.

    The service was great. The food on the greatest hits menu wasn’t so great. It was all very bland. I would not recommend the menu. Maybe the other entrees are better. We came highly recommended and were very disappointed.

    Our food was great but our experience was definitely marked by service that was lacking in warmth and care. We felt like a major inconvenience and our food took a very long time to be delivered to the table. Overall it was uncomfortable.
