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 went for Restaurant week and was pleasantly surprised with absolutely everything. The only thing I really can't come on on is the noise level because we had the last reservation for the night so it was nice and quiet.
