About this restaurant

Charming
Good for special occasions
Good for groups

Tujague's is the second oldest restaurant in New Orleans. This French Quarter institution has been serving traditional New Orleans cuisine to locals and visitors alike for more than 160 years.

Lore states that brunch originated here, as did the Grasshopper cocktail. Homages to the restaurant's long and colorful history abound within the interior of the building from the classic 19th century architecture to memorabilia on the walls.

Menu items such as the seared gulf fish and the daily gumbo meld French traditions with New Orleans fare and flare. Our famous five course menu is still served nightly; but have no fear, the menu is no longer pre-fixe, so those less ravenous diners can join in too.

If you want a quintessential New Orleans experience filled with history and local fare, Tujague's is your place.

Why they're an Icon

Executive chef: Gus Martin

From the OpenTable editors: It’s the second-oldest restaurant in New Orleans, with the claim to fame of inventing brunch—and some even say it’s haunted. Welcome to Tujague’s, founded by French immigrants in 1856, and still letting the good times roll for more than 160 years. Today it’s a slice of history in the French Quarter, filled with mirrors, chandeliers, and a collection of 6,000 mini liquor bottles. Don’t miss the spicy shrimp remoulade, boiled brisket, and grasshopper cocktail, another house original.

We had fish and steak both excellent. We also had dessert - cherry crumble and bread pudding - both were good. So nice to eat from real plates and with real cutlery and not a burger or fries in sight.

Very small menu so not many choices can be made. Gumbo was underwhelming for being in NOLA. Service was attentive and friendly but time between gumbo and main course took far too long. With the small selection of entrees one would assume they do very well with them. Shrimp and grits a bit boring/safe. I think they have one small bottle of Tabasco as the only choice of hot sauce.

So delicious and yummy! The service was great and the drinks were fabulous too! Will definitely be back this summer! Are inside a bit of a smaller area so the noise level naturally goes up. Still love the ambiance.

Had brunch with Tujague’s this past Sunday at the new location (hadn’t been since they moved). Very good brisket bowl (on the spicy side). Our waiter was excellent, very friendly guy and attentive.

First, the service was great, as was the meal quality. I am a shrimp and grits snob and it was great. What was disappointing was my family went out of our way to respect the dress code, only to see a couple in gym shorts and running shoes, and another with a lady wearing a weathered AC/DC t-shirt. I don’t judge them, but it would have been nice for my family and I to dress more casual as well. Please update the website to let people know the dress code does not apply to brunch.
