About this restaurant

  • Neighborhood gem
  • Good for special occasions
  • Great for outdoor dining
Toups' Meatery is a contemporary Cajun restaurant featuring fine food, wine, specialty cocktails, extensive Bourbon selection and charcuterie inspired by deep-rooted Louisiana family traditions. Chef Isaac Toups represents the new guard of Cajun chefs for his updated refined approach to rustic dishes. Cooking the food that’s closest to his heart has earned him rave reviews including recently being named a James Beard Semi-Finalist for Best Chef of the South 2014 & 2015. Located in beautiful Mid City near City Park and the New Orleans Museum of Art.

Why they're an Icon

Executive chef: Isaac Toups

From the OpenTable editors: Multi-James Beard Award-nominated chef and Louisiana native Issac Toups’s namesake restaurant is a celebration of all things meat. Like his mentor Emeril Lagasse, Toups gives Cajun classics a sophisticated spin with signature dishes like a double-cut pork chop with dirty rice and cane syrup gastrique. A rustic-chic space with a shaded plant-decked patio, pitch-perfect wines, and an extensive bourbon collection add to the lively vibe—just as a New Orleans restaurant should be.

            I wanted to make a point to eat here while I was in the city and I was not disappointed. This food was fantastic and we had a large party with 4 children. The waitress was very patient when the kids had no idea what they were doing. They all experimented with new things and they were all satisfied. All the food was so good but I recommend the pork chop and the pickled pineapple on the pickle appetizer was so tasty!

            Exceptional! The balance of BBQ smoke and chefs mastery was brilliant. We had the meat board and cucumber salad perfect meal for 2. Especially loved the duck pastrami and the cracklings and the sausage and the duck pate and the and the .. You get the picture. Highly recommended.

            The service was amazing. Everyone was so kind. The Meatery Board was INCREDIBLE, and we should have stopped there. But we didn’t. I have the lamb neck, and it was the most tender meat I’ve ever had. This place is a MUST!

            I am a huge fan of Toups. I love what they do for the community, but they also serve incredible dishes, have great service and enormous portions. It is hard to find a better protein option in the city than any venison dish that you can get here. If there is something better, it is probably their duck or lamb neck. However, the venison is a unique offering and is so flavorful and tender you'll be thinking about it for days after your meal. I also love that I can buy the kitchen a beer — as a former NO service industry worker — it is heartwarming to see a restaurant seek out more perks and rewards for their crew.

            Touts New Orleans gave our group of four a wonderful dining experience. Heartfelt thank you to Emily for the wonderful service during our visit. The lamb neck was outstanding, and every dish was impressive with rich flavors. Although dessert was a minor weak point, the overall meal and service more than compensated. Highly recommend.

            The food we ordered and the service was outstanding. Karen ordered the Toups Burger and I ordered the Couchon Cuban sandwich. Unfortunately, the fryer was out of service so we were not able to get the Cracklin that we so much enjoy.
