About this restaurant

Neighborhood gem
Good for special occasions
Charming

Come dine in this beautifully restored Uptown restaurant on Magazine Street and enjoy James Beard Award Winning Chef Justin Devillier's contemporary Louisiana Cuisine.

The La Petite Grocery name pays homage to the history of its home, a building that’s stood for more than a century. The original structure was built in the late 1800s and called the Central Tea, Coffee and Butter Depot. In 1908, a fire devastated the space and it was transformed into a full service grocery store. Later it was most notably a fine foods and butcher shop, VonderHaar’s Fine Foods until 1982. When La Petite Grocery opened in March of 2004, they similarly aspired to provide the neighborhood with exotic teas, locally roasted coffee, and fresh produce. By doing this, we hope to provide a dining experience that evokes nostalgia of old New Orleans. Reservations are preferred.

Why they're an Icon

Executive chef: Joseph Tiedmann

From the OpenTable editors: Head to this charming restaurant inside a historic building for exceptional New Orleans staples from James Beard Award-winning chef Justin Devillier. That means you'll find some of the best blue crab beignets in town and a rich turtle bolognese with a soft-boiled egg, both of which pair well with classic cocktails like an old fashioned. Brunch is a highlight here, too—an order of the creamy buttermilk biscuits and gravy is the perfect way to spend a Sunday afternoon.

I can’t say enough good things about this restaurant. The food was delicious! Those crab beignets are incredible! We had the rabbit and the turtle bolognese and both were absolutely delectable. The service was warm and steady, perfectly timed. I wish I could eat here every day!

Yet more confirmation and evidence of why New Orleans is one of America’s best food cities! The blue crab beignets are out of sight, as is the rabbit for the main course. Unpretentious, simple, lovely ambience in the Garden District neighborhood. Will return.

Great food, horrible, forgetful, snarky service. Between the bartender and the server probably some of the worst service we’ve ever had, especially for a restaurant of this caliber where we’ve dined several times

Sat outside and shared several dishes. Shrimp and grits, blue crab beignets, gumbo and steak! And of course had to get dessert. The olive oil cake was insane! And not too heavy after such a rich meal. Everything was so delicious I genuinely can’t pick a fave. Cocktails were well balanced and big plus for the pregnant one in our group that they had super tasty mocktails too! And our server was attentive and friendly and I wish I could remember her name to shout her out. But 10/10 experience!
