About this restaurant

  • Neighbourhood gem
  • Charming
  • 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.

    Great night at Atchaflaya again. The only issue was service was very disjointed and slow at times.

    Distinctly regional cuisine but executed at a higher level than the many excellent, traditional restaurants in town. Not a fusion, more like a modern, more sophisticated take on classic New Orleans cooking. Still rich and flavorful, but with more precision - if that makes any sense? Ambiance is wonderful and the service attentive.
