Tujague's is the second oldest restaurant in New Orleans. This French Quarter institution has been serving traditional New Orleans cuisine to locals and visitors alike for more than 160 years. Lore states that brunch originated here, as did the Grasshopper cocktail. Homages to the restaurant's long and colorful history abound within the interior of the building from the classic 19th century architecture to memorabilia on the walls.Menu items such as the seared gulf fish and the daily gumbo meld French traditions with New Orleans fare and flare. Our famous five course menu is still served nightly; but have no fear, the menu is no longer pre-fixe, so those less ravenous diners can join in too.If you want a quintessential New Orleans experience filled with history and local fare, Tujague's is your place.

    The “senior staff member” needs more training and should not be training the understudy waiter. Outside mediocre service, the food was excellent and I would recommend this restaurant.

    Execution on each dish was spot on. Friend from NYC was in town and wanted all the seafood. Service was exceptional. This is why anytime I have people in town, even from other countries, LUKE never disappoints. It's like an elevated, classic New Orleans.

    This was an amazing experience - best dining in our entire trip to New Orleans. Building is absolutely beautiful, the room we were in was quiet and lovely, wait staff was exceptional and the food was creative and really delicious. Many highlights but 2 over the top were the scallops and the bread pudding. I've been to the other "top" restaurants in the French Quarter and hadn't been impressed. Brennan's was superior to them by far.

    This is one of the best seafood restaurants in the city. Fish, properly cooked, excellent service, great atmosphere and an inventive menu with a large diverse wine list. You need to plan ahead and reserve at least a week before but the planning is worth it. Their signature dish is Scalibut, an interesting combination of scallops and halibut that is truly remarkable. Overall, this is an excellent restaurant and we give it five clams on the coveted Five Quahog Rating Scale, a rare honor.

    The food was absolutely wonderful. The pricing is about 60-75 dollars per person. (Includes alcoholic beverages) We never felt rushed or forgotten. The staff is incredible. The appetizer oysters and BBQ shrimp were both amazing. There was a two man ensemble (clarinet and guitar) that played jazz and we enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere. We could not afford to go all the time but have enjoyed eating here each time we have.
