Charming
Neighbourhood gem
Good for special occasions

Atchafalaya is a true New Orleans neighborhood eatery where the eclectic yet elegant atmosphere is only outshone by the attentive service and delicious local fare. Nestled under the oaks on the edges of the Irish Channel, Magazine Street, and historic Garden districts, this hidden gem is one the best contemporary Creole dining experiences that one can find in the city. Neighbors, locals, and out of towners alike will become regulars after experiencing the brand of hospitality offered by New Orleans’ only five “A” restaurant. If having standards such as a gumbo du jour, blue crab raviolo, or shrimp & grits, a nightly seafood special, or a filet paired with a selection from the world class wine program you will not be disappointed. The introductions of brunch, live music, cocktails, and now an extensive happy hour continue the newest culinary chapter for a storied local haunt, embracing New Orleans’ culinary culture while placing contemporary spin on traditional New Orleans cuisine.

Overall, I was disappointed. Food was just okay but I didn’t consider it special. White wines were served too cold. Server was friendly, but not super attentive. Cocktail I ordered was a Pineapple Gold Fashioned which has a cute name, but really was too fruity and not balanced. The duck breast and risotto dish had a cranberry orange compote, which reminded me too much of cranberry orange relish that I associate with turkey and dressing. It also made the duck breast too sweet. Enjoyed the café brulot crème brûlée, and coffee.
