Charming
Neighbourhood gem
Good for special occasions

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.

Why they're an Icon

Executive chef: Joseph Tiedmann

From the OpenTable editors: Head to this charming restaurant inside a historic building for exceptional New Orleans staples from James Beard Award-winning chef Justin Devillier. That means you'll find some of the best blue crab beignets in town and a rich turtle bolognese with a soft-boiled egg, both of which pair well with classic cocktails like an old fashioned. Brunch is a highlight here, too—an order of the creamy buttermilk biscuits and gravy is the perfect way to spend a Sunday afternoon.

Great place to celebrate my 50th birthday! The food was the star of the dinner. It was loud but not so loud we couldn’t hear each other talking clearly. Would absolutely return!

Very disappointed in our experience. Two of the meals were very good unfortunately mine was not one of those. The steak was so tough it was inedible. Our fourth entry never even arrived even though we asked about it multiple times. Our waiter was completed out and left us waiting multiple times didn’t check drinks didn’t check food. Also tried to charge us for a $200 bourbon pour that was never served. Would not return or recommend.

There are very restaurants in New Orleans that compare. The food at LPG expresses deep and sincere reverence for Louisiana tradition without ever feeling stuck in time. The ingredients are top notch and flavors are bright and balanced. It's absolutely fine dining with the service to prove it, yet manages never to feel fussy or pretentious. It's cozy enough for a romantic dinner, and energetic enough for a celebration. We couldn't love it more.
