Come dine in this beautifully restored Uptown restaurant on Magazine Street and enjoy James Beard Award Winning Chef Justin Devillier's contemporary Louisiana Cuisine.The La Petite Grocery name pays homage to the history of its home, a building that’s stood for more than a century. The original structure was built in the late 1800s and called the Central Tea, Coffee and Butter Depot. In 1908, a fire devastated the space and it was transformed into a full service grocery store. Later it was most notably a fine foods and butcher shop, VonderHaar’s Fine Foods until 1982. When La Petite Grocery opened in March of 2004, they similarly aspired to provide the neighborhood with exotic teas, locally roasted coffee, and fresh produce. By doing this, we hope to provide a dining experience that evokes nostalgia of old New Orleans. Reservations are preferred.

    There are very restaurants in New Orleans that compare. The food at LPG expresses deep and sincere reverence for Louisiana tradition without ever feeling stuck in time. The ingredients are top notch and flavors are bright and balanced. It's absolutely fine dining with the service to prove it, yet manages never to feel fussy or pretentious. It's cozy enough for a romantic dinner, and energetic enough for a celebration. We couldn't love it more.

    My wife & I went for Brunch. I picked Luke based partially based on a positive dinner experience at August, a sister resturant. First, our server (Candice, I think) was great. All smiles and southern hospitality. My wife ordered the pork belly appetizer & I had the crab fingers. Both were delicious, though from a volume perspective I should have shared my wife’s pork belly because it ended up being her whole meal and she could not do more than nibble at her main course. I should note that the buttered crab fingers had some tasty LA heat, not like the garlic based Italian version. I had shrimp and grits as may main and was reeeealy good. So - nice job Luke. We appreciate the expereimce.
