Charming
Good for special occasions
Neighbourhood gem

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.

Beautiful atmosphere, the lighting in particular. Relatively high price points (e.g., $43 for the chicken) and not a lot of range of choices. Our teenagers in particular had a really hard time deciding what to order (thus the $43 chicken). The cocktail I had was good (the Cassius Club) and the Fried Green Tomatoes were good too. Practically had to hunt down the waiter each time we needed something. Overall, historic place and nice atmosphere. Limited menu choices for teenagers and high price points.

Very attentive service. Everything about the meal was memorable: The Blue Crab Beignets were flawless with the malt vinegar aioli! Shrimp and grits are a must have. Do not miss the butterscotch pudding for desert either!

Lovely & tasty, as always. We had a super helpful young lady waiter. She was delightful. Food is always excellent. We went on the early side — 11:30 — so at first it was wonderfully quiet and even as things picked up & families came in with children, it was not too loud ever, just festive.

I’m counting the days until I can come back and have the blue crab beignets. Can’t be beat. Only minus is noise level, but that seems to be the rule not the exception, even in the great restaurants.
