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.

    We visited from Florida for a second time to celebrate a milestone birthday 8 years to the day on the 20th of January. We were greeted with excitement and smiles from the wonderful staff. The dining room was warm and cozy given New Orleans was expecting unprecedented temperatures and snow! The staff were professional and friendly even though the Parrish was preparing for their family’s safety and own well being with upcoming major road closings they truly went out of their way to celebrate with me and my husband! We were given complimentary champagne. My last experience, I ordered Cherries Jubilee and was given a table side show beyond my expectations. This time I gleefully inquired about it again as it was not on the menu. The Maitre’D assured me he would do whatever he could to make my day special and he did not disappoint! He put a show and even poured the fire on the tablecloth in front of me! The dessert was amazing and will bring me back! The food, ambiance and overall service was outstanding and I will certainly return in another 8 years to this wonderful establishment! Hopefully it will not be in the middle of a snowstorm again!

    We really enjoyed our dinner at Jewel. There were 4 of us that tried several things on the menu to share. Most portions were fairly small but we knew that going in. Everything we ate was well prepared and enjoyed by everyone at the table. Our waiter was great and took good care of us. Would definitely go back again in the future.

    Justini’s in New Orleans feels like stepping into a Gatsby party, but with way better cocktails and fewer questionable decisions. The vibe is effortlessly chic, the lighting is perfect for selfies, and the bartenders mix drinks like they’re casting spells. Try the “Espresso Martini Flight”—it’s vanilla, traditional , and death by chocolate! Bonus points for their playlist, which has just the right amount of throwback jams to get you vibing. Perfect spot for dates, catch-ups, or pretending you’re cooler than you are.
