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.

            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.

            Waitress either accidentally misheard our request, or purposely ignored it, when we asked to remove the jalapenos from our pickle plate. We also ordered a cheese plate, only discover many of the same items from the pickle plate. No one informed us. The noise was much higher than expected. My wife witnessed the waitress knock over another customer's purse, and then just kicked it aside. There might be more to the story, but it didn't look good. The menu was interesting, and the food was enjoyable. Maybe we ordered the wrong stuff, but having the same contents on 2 separate orders was a bummer. It was one of the few disappointing dining experiences during our trip to New Orleans.

            Outstanding restaurant with items rarely found in dining establishments here such as venison loin, lamb neck and smoked ducked all cooked to perfection. The Meatery Board has a plethora of goodies to whet the appetite. The service was friendly and helpful and exceptionally friendly.

            The food, drinks and service was excellent. I asked for suggestions from our server and was not disappointed! We got the charcuterie board and that was plenty filling for the two of us who were not very hungry for a full entree. The charcuterie board was perfect because it gave us a taste of a lot of different items from the sides you could order. We do not normally like pate but finished this one! The special way it’s prepared made it not so gamy tasting, but delicious! I would have loved to bring home some cucumber and squash pickles and the whole seeded mustard but they don’t sell it for the pantry. Chef, I hope in the future you would sell them. We will just have to come back for more!❤️❤️🙏🏼 Deliciously, well done!
