About this restaurant

  • 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.

                                                  .It was very nice. Easy to find, I walked there so parking was not an issue.

                                                  Crab beignets were otherworldly. Everything else we ate was fabulous.

                                                  The food is amazing. Was informed best blue crab beignets and they did not disappoint. The pork belly appetizer was hands down my favorite. Do not skip it. My server, Jeff, was awesome. Knowledgeable and explained the meals with interesting and enticing verbiage.

                                                  I had the rabbit and it was delicious. My husband had the pork and it too was very tasty. We found the service to be very slow. We waited a long while before we were approached to order our meal and the same to get our check. However, once we ordered our food was delivered in a timely manner.
