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.

    The food was good and the atmosphere was nice. We ran completely out of water and soda during our meal. Had to flag down waitress to get more before I could finish eating. In her defense she was busy but could have filled glasses earlier. The banana foster was good, the story interesting, and fun to see the flames. Also cool to see people celebrating their birthday with the cotton candy.

    Stopped in with our girls to let them try Bananas Foster. My daughter’s lemonade never came, my cocktail and my husband’s tea came long after our soup and eggs. The food was ok, but nothing stellar. Our waitress was truly the only bright spot of this stop.

    Had lunch here. Turtle soup starter followed by the duck confit hash. My friend had the mushroom omelet. We added a side of cheesy grits to share and finished with their signature, bananas foster prepared tableside. Everything was delicious and service was spot on. We ordered a pot of New Orleans style. Would definitely return but it’s a splurge.
