About this restaurant

  • Neighborhood gem
  • Great for outdoor dining
  • Good for special occasions
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.

    Really amazing food after a day at Jazzfest. Waitress made fantastic suggestions with food and wine pairings. We ordered the meatery platter, the special bone marrow and pork belly appetizers, turkey necks, venison and crab salads. Great neighborhood vibe!

    What a fantastic restaurant. I was even lucky enough to meet Chef Toups!! When I sat and saw the menu and the server suggested the burger saying best in New Orleans… I was hesitant to order a burger when I’ve been looking forward to this restaurant for so long. But it is absolutely the best burger I ever had.

    I ordered the Wagyu steak and it was probably one of the best things I have ever eaten. Our service was also amazing! We have been coming here for years and I cannot recommend it enough.

    I’m a regular at Toups and my most recent experience was one more in a consistent series of great meals. On my way to JazzFest, I dropped by for a morning cocktail and refreshing Louisiana lump crab salad. It’s a giant portion of mixed greens, crab, bacon, charred veggies, and pickled quail eggs. There’s a creamy goat cheese that helps grab all the components and the drizzle of dressing highlights each of the distinct flavors. My current favorite cocktail is Lime in the Coconut but there’s a revolving list, so go see what’s to your taste.
