  • 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.

    We went there with friends who grew up "DTB" and they went nuts for the gumbo. I had the fried green tomatoes topped with shrimp - absolutely perfect - and a delicious seafood bisque. The service is friendly and the meal very well paced. All in all, a wonderful way to share some time with friends!

    We had a great time celebrating our anniversary today. Our waiter made us feel right at home. We highly recommend the seafood gumbo. It was incredibly flavorful and one of my favorite things I ate on our trip. We also loved the crab cake benedict (the sauce is out of this world) and shrimp and grits. Thank you for a wonderful celebratory meal!

    Jazz brunch was excellent. Sit inside to hear music. Gumbo and mussels soup just grand. Duck hash also memorable. We’re having dinner there tomorrow night. Enough said.

    Atchafalaya provided incredible food, great service, and a cozy, beautiful ambience! My husband and I had such a delightful time! The fried oysters and blue crab raviolo are delicious appetizers. For our entrées, we had the wagyu steak and red snapper, both of which were superb! And all the proportions were perfect. We can’t wait to go back!

    Atchafalaya has become one our our favorite dining spots. Everything about the experience excels. Great food on a wonderful menu selection. I’ve had the pork chop with greens my last two visits and it’s delicious. The service is tops. Plus the manager and hostess are on top of their game. A nice quiet location of town . And another plus, open on Monday nights
