Come dine in this beautifully restored Uptown restaurant on Magazine Street and enjoy James Beard Award Winning Chef Justin Devillier's contemporary Louisiana Cuisine.The La Petite Grocery name pays homage to the history of its home, a building that’s stood for more than a century. The original structure was built in the late 1800s and called the Central Tea, Coffee and Butter Depot. In 1908, a fire devastated the space and it was transformed into a full service grocery store. Later it was most notably a fine foods and butcher shop, VonderHaar’s Fine Foods until 1982. When La Petite Grocery opened in March of 2004, they similarly aspired to provide the neighborhood with exotic teas, locally roasted coffee, and fresh produce. By doing this, we hope to provide a dining experience that evokes nostalgia of old New Orleans. Reservations are preferred.

    Vessel NOLA was quite an experience. From the hostess to waitstaff, everyone was very friendly and helpful. The decor was great for a romantic evening or a casual dinner date. The food was impeccable. If you’re ever in NOLA, I’d recommend visiting Vessel NOLA. Great food, nice ambiance and an awesome staff.

    Steps of service are on point here, making the hospitality through the roof. Steaks cooked perfectly, side dishes and sauces complimenting one another, straight to the point wine and cocktail list, and fantastic digestivo choices to pair with dessert, all while providing fair pricing. What an amazing joint. Here's to another one hundred years... Cheers!
