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: JD Eubanks

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 a pleasant dinner. The service was very slow and rote. No one made any extra effort. The food was good enough but unremarkable.

Went for restaurant week- flank steak was inedible with so many tendons that you could not even chew it, mac n cheese had absolutely zero flavor and pork chop was so dry we were SAWING it with a knife. So unfortunate.

The kitchen . was so slow… we waited for 1.5 hours before receiving our food. The service tried their best, but something was seriously wrong with the kitchen.

Had an excellent dinner at Tujagues! This is my go to spot in the neighborhood. I live in the French Quarter and find myself eating here multiple times a week. This time I had the new steak that was on the menu and it did not disappoint!

I dined here with some friends who wanted a quick and delicious brunch. We had the best roast beef debris po boy. The meat was so tender and it perfectly complimented the bottomless mimosas that we had! If you are there on a weekend, definitely ask for Justin!

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.
