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.

Why they're an Icon

Executive chef: Gus Martin

From the OpenTable editors: It’s the second-oldest restaurant in New Orleans, with the claim to fame of inventing brunch—and some even say it’s haunted. Welcome to Tujague’s, founded by French immigrants in 1856, and still letting the good times roll for more than 160 years. Today it’s a slice of history in the French Quarter, filled with mirrors, chandeliers, and a collection of 6,000 mini liquor bottles. Don’t miss the spicy shrimp remoulade, boiled brisket, and grasshopper cocktail, another house original.

    The service was spotty and one server in our area continually shouted taking orders or delivering food. We came for a quiet birthday mead and left with ears ringing. The food was good, not great.

    Our table was extremely wobbly and was not able to be fixed which kept spilling our champagne and water glasses. We went to celebrate thanksgiving after working all day myself in a restaurant and unfortunately was not the experience we were hoping for. We will most likely not return. The pre fixed menu for thanksgiving was very good though.

    Very underwhelming. Came for a thanksgiving dinner and everything was warm at best. Had to send the gumbo back to be heated up and could’ve sent back the remainder of the food as well, but didn’t have the energy. Would not recommend.

    We were disappointed with our thanksgiving turkey dinner. The green beans were overcooked, the meal was served lukewarm, there was very little gravy and the turkey was sliced breast but seemed processed, not carved from a bird as you would expect. The gumbo and salad were good and the bread pudding was fine although the sauce was runny. Our wait staff was friendly but seemed very busy and so service was slow. Shout out to our waiter for managing to get us a Hurricane to go for someone who couldn’t make it to dinner.
