Dine in one of 8 glamorous dining rooms, our famously lush courtyard, or our spectacular wine cellar.

Why they're an Icon

From the OpenTable editors: The place to be seen sipping bubbles at Benedict brunch, Brennan’s is one of the most stunning restaurants in New Orleans—long before the era of Instagram. Think black-and-white tile floors, a pastel pink exterior, and minty fresh leather booths, with character dating back to 1946. Bananas foster was invented here, and suited servers still fire it up tableside. The accolades keep rolling in: It's a James Beard semifinalist, Condé Nast Traveler world favorite, and Wine Spectator darling.

    Everything was exquisite, unique, and delicious. We tried a appetizer, entre, and desert along with some drinks. The service was very attentive and the bread was OMG. Highly recommended this place.

    Very disappointing experience. Server was abrupt and didn’t even bother greeting us, just came over and asked “what do you want to drink” after sitting there for at least 15 minutes. Other servers at nearby tables seemed more attentive. Food was mediocre, especially for the price. Fish Nancy was bland, barely any crabmeat in the topping. Filet was tiny and tasted as though it had been sitting under a heat lamp for awhile. Server didn’t bother to check in to see how our food was or if we wanted more drinks but did finally come by at the end to try to upsell us on an expensive scotch. Understand it’s Mardi Gras but for this class of restaurant I definitely expected better.

    What a wonderful way to kick off our Mardi Gras weekend in New Orleans! Every bit of our evening was perfection…attentive staff, delicious cocktails (Her Majesty’s Handbag, might be the most fun cocktail I’ve ever had!), delectable cuisine, a fun and whimsical birthday surprise, and table side bananas foster (prepared with historical narrative). Thank you for a special evening!
