Welcome to Brennan's! Our menus marry classic Creole traditions with inspired, contemporary influences. Breakfast at Brennan’s is a spirited, indulgent way to begin your day! Bubbles at Brennan's Happy Hour features discounted bottles of premium Champagne. Flaming Bananas Foster, invented at Brennan's, is a timeless New Orleans tradition. 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.

    I visited here in May 2023 for my birthday. Fantastic, attentive waitstaff. We went here for my birthday. The local fish was fantastic. Perfectly cooked. The cocktails were good here too. The dessert was fantastic too! 😀 I returned here February 25, 2025. The red fish was moist and prepared well. Get the bananas foster! Learn all about how it was invented. The ice cream is delicious and also the bananas with the liqueur on top of them. The scallops looked amazing. The oysters were excellent! I would get the oysters again!

    We chose Brennan’s to celebrate a birthday and they didn’t disappoint. Two of the website listed brunch menu items weren’t available, the lobster omelette is no longer on the menu and the French toast was sold out. However, the items chosen were good with the cheddar grits and brabant potatoes sides stealing the show. The restaurant surprised our birthday celebrant with a fun dessert and we had to try the original home of the bananas foster. We enjoyed it, but others have perfected it. Overall a great experience, but don’t be in a rush.

    Food was good overall and the restaurant is very beautiful but quality overall is definitely not that of fine dining, loud guys in tshirts and baseball hats on their bachelor parties, screeching children and people in leggings in tennis shoes bring down the vibe of the restaurant and make it incredibly touristy. Stay for good but expensive food, go somewhere else for a nice quality restaurant.
