Tujague's is the second oldest restaurant in New Orleans. This French Quarter institution has been serving traditional New Orleans cuisine to locals and visitors alike for more than 160 years.

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.

Why they're an Icon

Executive chef: Gus Martin

From the OpenTable editors: It’s the second-oldest restaurant in New Orleans, with the claim to fame of inventing brunch—and some even say it’s haunted. Welcome to Tujague’s, founded by French immigrants in 1856, and still letting the good times roll for more than 160 years. Today it’s a slice of history in the French Quarter, filled with mirrors, chandeliers, and a collection of 6,000 mini liquor bottles. Don’t miss the spicy shrimp remoulade, boiled brisket, and grasshopper cocktail, another house original.

Everything about Tujague’s was fantastic! I started with the sazerac flight, which was a true New Orleans treat! Food wise, we started with the crawfish gnocci and crab au gratin- both were excellent! For dinner, my dad ordered the pork chop with sugar cane mashed sweet potato and I had the filet oscar. Everything was delicious. Our server Victor was great- he was personable and funny- you can tell he enjoys his job! I can’t wait for my next trip to NOLA so I can eat here again. Highly recommend!!

I found the food to be very good, but not outstanding. The service was pleasant and the wait staff was well groomed and pleasant. The lighting in the main dining room on the first floor is stark and cold. This could easily be changed by using warm tone bulbs rather than the cold florescent like LED lamps they have utilized and give the place a more vintage atmosphere. The upstairs rooms are more inviting. Not bad overall, but not top tier by New Orleans standards for a restaurant of this category.

Steak tartare, turtle soup, and gumbo were all fantastic. We were seated in the middle of a hallway next to two locked doors so there was a lot of foot traffic. Main server was inattentive and forgetful. Her assistant was a little better. Felt like just two of us weren’t worth the effort. Would much rather go to Tito’s, Antoine’s, Briquette, or the Peacock Room among others.

Great service. Brittany was awesome. Everything was good. We had the Boudin Balls to start and then my wife and son had the Gumbo and Oysters Benedict Only thing that didn’t earn a five star was my meal. I had a burger and fries which was ok, but that was fine because I wasn’t expecting an amazing burger.
