Brunch served Thurs-Sun. Try the Duck Hash - Poached eggs , duck confit , blackberries, mangos , hollandaise , bacon vinaigrette New Orleans ⚜

Thrillist

Atchafalaya is an underlooked brunch gem. Be on the lookout for the duck hash , AND the “Eggs Treme ”; a Benedict variation featuring a boudin cake , poached eggs , popcorn crawfish , and hollandaise . Read more

The Korean Style Pork Belly was really well done - see my pic. Also, the Bloody Mary station was fun and had everything you could ever want. You should get both those things.

Ares, Jr.

Loved the food. Fried chicken and waffles was delicious, also loved the fried okra po-boy and the fried brussel sprouts was a good appetizer . Recommend setting a reservation .

Debby Asberry-Chua

The butternut soup was great and the wagyu beef was great. For dessert , the marscapone stuffed chocolate crepes were really good. It’s a small restaurant . The food is unique and crafted.

Allie Mahler

Brunch here is incredible. Bloody Mary bar and a great list of drinks. Great vegetarian options : huevos rancheros and the truffled Parmesan eggs . Also jazz .

Emilio C

Seriously, I love this place. The Eggs Atchafalaya or the Shrimp and Grits are to die for. If you're going for brunch , make sure to get a Bloody Mary and make it however you want at the bar .

Ryan Eugene

Great creole restaurant in a NOLA style home. You'll find an upscale but relaxed environment . They also have a private room for 12+ people and gave us a bluetooth speaker to use!

Lacy Brinson

Best shrimp and grits I've ever had! Pair it with the fried green tomatoes and ravioli apps, and you're set. This place is delicious. Service is equally as good.

Jeff Stark★

Everything we had was good. Really loved the Lamb Meatballs . Fried tomatoes were good also. Steak , fish all good. Ask about the specials.

Eric Lanehart

Brunch on Thursdays + Fridays is where it's at. The duck confit hash was indeed awesome, interestingly with blackberries & slivers of mango in the mix. Top it off with a duck fat-infused sazerac !

Ale

Great service; good brunch ! Make sure you get a table inside if you want to listen to the live band

Cosssette Garcia

My top 3 list of restaurants in New Orleans!! Everything was so good and fresh. Tried the fried tomates with crabs and dishes With scallops

Todd Bacile

The server accommodated my request to have a half-sized portion of the shrimp & grits as an appetizer , so I could order the special (Redfish ). Both dishes were amazing. The S&G melt in your mouth!

Zachary Bouzan-Kaloustian

Unbelievable everything. Our large group had chicken , duck , fish , wine , cocktails and dessert and loved it all! Photo is the duck

cj fitzgerald

From M: delicious & lively weekend brunch . Great mix of beauty, salvage, creole cuisine & a storied past. Get the Eggs Atchafalaya or Cochon du L'Eggs.

Emily Abrams

Do not miss this place! Brunch is a must-do!!! Eggs Atchafalaya is amazing...so if you can't decide, just go with that! Order a Pimms Cup and tempt yourself with the daily specials !

Brad Graham

Straightforward Creole menu, and the shrimp and grits are a standout. The brunch with live music draws the most customers, but this place has solid food all day, all the time.

Jamie Roth

I'd like to be more specific, but I can't. It's all amazing. Eat all the things. Then ask your date to roll you home.

Brandi Bruce

Seasonal so check the menu before making reservations . Sweet staff and heavy but delicious food

Edward Forte

One of the best I've eaten in New Orleans. Beignets were fabulous, gumbo was great, entrees were tasty, and desserts divine

Kim Maul

Delicious Atcha-Pho-Laya pho dish, great noodles

Hannah K

Eat everything & anything and enjoy your lovely servers. The scallops are unreal. Fried green tomatoes weren't too fried and had incredible flavor. Polenta / tuna / bread pudding ... Obviously amazing.

Melania Spagnoli

Try the crab ! It's delicious. Live band ar the entrance and tasty green tomatoes blody mary offered to all the guests

Bill Curtin

The shrimp and grits is amazing. The gumbo is amazing. The sundae is amazing. Drinks amazing. Worth every penny

Viren Kaul

Everything was fantastic. Truly. We had the chicken and tuna dishes and Barry left a crumb!!

Daniel H

With boudin , duck , andouille , alligator , all kinds of machinations with eggs ...etc and a bloody mary self serve bar , a great place for brunch but get here early or expect long wait .

Brian Tran

The crab ravioli was really good. It's a smaller dish so you will want to order something else as well .

Gabriel Hayes

Found this place from Fodor's 10 Best Urban Brunch Spots list. So glad I did. One of the best meals I have had in New Orleans.

Valerie S

Charming place for brunch . Food with a creole-and-southern twist is delicious, and Bloody Mary bar is a fun addition, too. Live music as well .

Marjorie Muniz-Monroy

Amazing food. Fried green tomatoe salad with crab was delicious and to cooked to perfection. Nice cocktails

Kayan Hargreaves

You will lick your plate if you get the shrimp & grits . The crawfish stuffed flounder is less messy at the end but just as good! Red velvet cake was perfect, but we wanted to try bread pudding .

Hudson Sutler

Hands down the best brunch spot in New Orleans. Arrive early and take advantage of the build your own Bloody Mary bar . Read more

Steph Katrina

Inside of an old house, the seating areas are spread across different rooms. Brunch has a build your own Bloody Mary bar !

Gambit New Orleans

The roasted quail stuffed with boudin is a longtime favorite here - Gambit's Five in 5. http://www.bestofneworleans.com/gambit/five-examples-of-boudin-stuffed-goodness/Content?oid=2056938

Justin Horn

One of the best meals I had in my two week in New Orleans!!!! Pork chop that was on the special was SPECIAL!!!!

Mary Dickson

Pork chop was fantastic, as were all the entrees at our table. Service for 5 a bit slow but super friendly & worth the wait! Would return.

Jillian Burnickas

Had the duck and the flavors of the broth were out of this world. So complex and rich, beautiful.

Molly E

Duck hash and cream cheese grits are just the start. Everything was delicious and the service was just as good

Lee Hoffman

The omelette and banana foster waffle holy cow!

Lana Hunt

No matter what you order, get a side of grits !! Even if you don't like grits , get the grits !

Michelle Anderson

Bloody Mary bar so you can make it to your liking and amazing food to boot.

a b

If you go for brunch , go to the Bloody Mary bar . Super good pickled veggies and 20+ hot sauce varieties

Janessa G

Located just off Magazine St., its a great place to away from all the shops. Brian, the bartender , was delightful! Took time to walk through his favs & he did not disappoint! Try the Gin Fizz !

Jennifer Dickey

Oh my. Ridiculous. Venison special is to die for. And if you skimp and don't order the fried green tomatoes you have a problem.

Kimberly Griffith

The grits are aaaaamazing! The best in the world.

Christian Fitzgerald

Sean (Seany B.) is a fantastic server. Bring him a sausage and butter crust pizza from Lou Malnati's and your meal is free.

Gabriel Hayes

The duck hash is a must try at brunch .

Eboni Thompson

Restaurant sat another party at my table which caused us to wait almost 30min for our reservation . The treme eggs were a highlight. The waiter was very nice and the manager tried to salvage things.
