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.

Food was marginal. Overpriced. Shrimp was undercooked and grits were lumpy. Both entrees were barely warm.

The only part that could have been better was the coffee. It was old and burnt. A resturant of your quality should not serve bad coffee.

We dine at Tujague’s quite often and they’re always on point. I love the Sommelier’s wine specials great selection of amazing wines. The servers were friendly and attentive. The food was wonderful and topped off our dinner with the Praline bread pudding.

Food is good and wait staff very good. We sat on the second floor in a room with zero appeal. Also this is not the original location, they moved here in 2020.
