Welcome to Brennan's! Our menus marry classic Creole traditions with inspired, contemporary influences. Breakfast at Brennan’s is a spirited, indulgent way to begin your day! Bubbles at Brennan's Happy Hour features discounted bottles of premium Champagne. Flaming Bananas Foster, invented at Brennan's, is a timeless New Orleans tradition. Dine in one of 8 glamorous dining rooms, our famously lush courtyard, or our spectacular wine cellar.

Why they're an Icon

From the OpenTable editors: The place to be seen sipping bubbles at Benedict brunch, Brennan’s is one of the most stunning restaurants in New Orleans—long before the era of Instagram. Think black-and-white tile floors, a pastel pink exterior, and minty fresh leather booths, with character dating back to 1946. Bananas foster was invented here, and suited servers still fire it up tableside. The accolades keep rolling in: It's a James Beard semifinalist, Condé Nast Traveler world favorite, and Wine Spectator darling.

    We had such a great night at Brennan’s, celebrating my mom’s birthday! The service was great and the food was delicious. Is it pricey, yes, but felt that the value and quality was worth it. My mom was treated like a birthday queen, including a birthday surprise. The last time we were in town for her birthday, we ate at Antoine’s and were disappointed. Not at Brennan’s. We will come back here next time we’re in town.

    Overall it's an amazing restaurant. You definitely need a reservation. However, the hostess was a little stuffy. We checked in and were 20 minutes early. We were told we had to wait. Walked around for 10 minutes and came back. Another couple went to check in with same reservation time as us and were going to be seated - until I stepped forward to question why before us. Once you get seated, the ambiance, service, food and personable staff make up for how the experience started. Definitely save room for dessert. Delicious

    Our hubby and I celebrated our 10th anniversary brunch here. They made us feel so special by placing a ribbon at our table. We we offered complimentary champagne with dessert. Everything we had was delicious. We would dine again, if we ever come back into town.

    ennan’s Brennan’s is a storied place, but like much of New Orleans today, it’s difficult to separate the classic from the touristy. It is unclear whether the proximity to the revelry on the street makes the atmosphere infused with a “sfumato di cannabis,” but given the prevalence of the wafting scents within the dining room, we wondered whether the dishes are the only things getting baked in the kitchen. The presentation was rote, performative and tired, we are sorry to say.
