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.

    Ashley our server was great! Have dined at Brennan’s over the years and have had wonderful dinning experiences; however, was disappointed this time around. The food was good, but was not on par with past experiences. Prefer other establishments over Brennan’s when visiting New Orleans.

    Disappointed. Brennans has evolved to a mediocre tourist trap. Food quality and service. Our waitress ignored us while she made bananas foster (table side) for 2 other tables.

    Turtle soup, duck hash, and bananas foster. The only thing that could have made it better would be a hammock and someone to sing me lullabys as i drifted off to sleep. Amazing food, terrific service, and amazing food. You cannot go wrong here!

    Wow, just wow. We were sat at a nice table overlooking the courthouse. Beautiful decor & table settings. Lovely ambiance. Service was incredible, all the staff were so charming and attentive. Food was to die for. If you go for breakfast, get the Scotched Eggs.

    The waitstaff was amazing. The food not so much. My husband and son ordered the tenderloin. The tenderloin was cooked well but there were 3 small potato halves on the plate and a couple of string bean shavings. I ordered the smoked scallops, three of them and some raisins and cabbage type slaw. Was underwhelmed with the portions. While we are not asking to be overded, if you came here on an empty stomach, you would have left hungry. Finally they had us eat an appetizer, main and dessert in 58 minutes. We sat down at 8:15 PM and the bill arrived at 9:13 PM. Bill with tip $356.00, not impressed. If you want old school New Orleans, go to Commanders Palace, Arnauds or Cochon, similar price range, much better food

    The place is adorable, the historical value makes it worth a stop. Heads up- only 1 of the 5 of us loved their dinner. Rabbit was a hit. Two people ordered the lamb shank and agreed it was meh. The ribeye wasn’t cooked as requested. I had the fish amandine - while the fish (sheepshead) was fresh, it came with potatoes that seemed to have been made from a bag of cubed frozen hash browns. We all loved the table side bananas foster. Maybe just come for a drink & dessert?
