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.

    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.

    Good wasn’t great. I was disappointed. Salas had too much blue cheese, soup didn’t taste like pumpkin (blah), the rest was ok. Just not the quality we expected.

    Really wonderful experience. Wait staff is made up of real people that know how to converse and also to be attentive. Food was great and we ordered six desserts to split between five people so we could sample pretty much everything. Will definitely go back.

    Nice restaurant with very flavorful food. Service was a bit slow (especially for beverages), sparkling rose wasn’t cold enough. Overall food was good but wasn’t a great dining experience and that’s what we were hoping for.
