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.

    An amazing experience from the moment we walked into the restaurant. We were met and greeted at the reservation desk by the manager Ian Turkmen, a led in a beautiful setting where Rickie (our waiter) guides us through a wonderful 3 course meal. There were 9 of us and you never know if all the entrees ill turn out right, they were perfect, and the baked Alaska at the end was to die for. Truly a great experience all around, also a great wine list!

    The food was amazing! We had the deviled egg and artichoke oyster chowder for starters. The crab cakes eggs Benedict was savory. However, the red beans and rice stole the show. Waitstaff was attentive and helpful!

    I have eaten here before and loved it but was disappointed this time. The oysters were gritty. I was anxious to have the buttersquash salad but it was a different preparation than listed on on line dinner menu and was a heavier salad with spinach. I didn’t catch the difference before ordering. The crab eggrolls were very good. Not terrible but just not what I have learned to expect from past visits
