Best Brunch Restaurants in French Quarter

It is always a treat dining here! The food is always amazing the soufflé potatoes and oysters Rockefeller are a must try if you are visiting for the first time, the charbroiled oysters are delicious too! The staff is always so welcoming and friendly. I was celebrating a friend’s birthday and our waitress Jessie was friendly and informative about the menu. The baked Alaska is not something to be skipped, you definitely need to try it! After dinner we were given a tour by Roland and he was such a gem! The tour he gave us and another couple was truly wonderful, he was so knowledgeable and friendly. This evening was the perfect ending to our trip. I can’t wait to come back!

So, I decided to take the plunge and propose to my girlfriend at Tujague's Restaurant. The atmosphere was perfect, the food was incredible, and I was pretty sure she was going to say yes. My waiter, Victor, was fantastic. Polite and funny—everything was going so smoothly… until the moment I popped the question. She looked at me, looked at the ring, and then put down her spoon she was using to eat her turtle soup (delish!)… well, let’s just say my knee didn’t get the ‘yes’ it was hoping for. In fact, I think I wasn’t going to have the great evening later at the hotel either now. I was going to order a dessert with whipped cream for some fun but no. At least I didn’t faint. Silver linings. But here's the thing: The team at Tujague's couldn’t have been more supportive. They didn’t make me feel like a failure and called me big guy and patted my back every time they walked by. The chef even sent over an extra dessert (without whipped cream) to “help me recover”. In the end, we shared a laugh, finished our meal, and both agreed on a "maybe" next time. Tujague's? A+ for ambiance, food, and making an awkward moment feel slightly less awkward. I’ll be back—just maybe not for another proposal. Also with a blonde next time🙌🏽

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

A delicious brunch and so nice to see the musicians. They went table to table and took requests. The place is beautiful. It was a leisurely brunch (took 2 hours) with service on the slow side. Make sure you aren’t in a rush. The food was fantastic! Everyone in our party gobbled up their entrees and we all split the king cake for dessert. It is New Orleans after all.

We had a great experience! Walking in the main dining room was an experience in itself!! The service was impeccable. My kids even felt special with extra cherries in their Shirley temples. I couldn’t recommend this restaurant more. The food was unbelievable. Probably some of the best food I’ve ever had. I would definitely recommend experiencing one of the oldest restaurants in New Orleans!
