Best Contemporary French American Restaurants in The Marigny

My wife and I are NOLA natives visiting after being gone for ten years. The food at Tableau was great and the atmosphere was beautiful (I’d worked in the building years ago and could barely recognize it by the new floor plan). Even my two kids (7 and 9) enjoyed their meals and the experience. Touring the building after the meal was worth the trip. Thank you to Sabrina and Kayla for the service, and to Ruby who took the time to guide us to the “secret room” where some celebrities have dined. Thank you, also, to Tanya who took our picture on the balcony overlooking Jackson Square. Those personal touches made the night really special. I’m glad we chose this place over the dozens of other offerings in New Orleans.

We had a top notch evening from start to finish. Service and overall attention to detail was exceptional. All our food was delicious. We had both breakfast and dinner same day here and both were excellent. It has an authentic French brassiere vibe.

The food was superb and the staff members were friendly, accommodating and professional. I highly recommend this restaurant for all occasions.

We were in New Orleans for 5 nights and ate at fantastic restaurants for lunch and dinner every day. Our meal and experience at Restaurant August was our #1. Food, service, wine, experience all spectacular! I would definitely rate it higher than 5***** to stand it apart.

I've always loved Cafe Degas, and my most recent visit was lovely. The atmosphere is magical, as you feel like you are dining at a cafe in Paris. We were seated in the covered area along the tree lined sidewalk. I love being able to people watch on this beautiful, tree lined avenue in one of the oldest areas of the city. The food was very good and the service was, as well. Our only issue was the drink service. Our cocktails took a very long time to arrive because the bartender was swamped. One bartender on an extremely busy night just isn't enough. All in all though, we were pleased with our time.
