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.

                      Gumbo was roux only and lacked any noticeable meat of any kind. The short rib seemed as if it was left under a heating lamp for too long. Service was beyond subpar. I will give them the benefit of the doubt and blame it on the holidays. I’ve really enjoyed this place in the past.

                      Our waiter was very nice. The restaurant was a little chaotic- mix ups with people’s reservations and our food order. The food was good but not what we expected for the price.

                      Unfortunately our family Christmas meal was ruined by a wait person who brought us the wrong meal twice, dropped silverware on my daughter and not asking everyone at the table for drinks. In addition, no one asked if we wanted refills on drinks and the service was extremely slow.

                      The food was delicious and the environment was relaxing. However, service was incredibly slow. Several tables that were seated after us were served first. Further, none of the waitresses seemed to be able to answer questions about the menu. Be prepared to spend two and a half hours in the dining room.

                      The fish was bland and under seasoned. Waiting staff was unsure which waiter was designated to our table. Members of our party were tasked with “flagging down” someone passing by to order drinks, remind them of our drink order, and to order entrees. Very disappointed we spent our family Christmas dinner here.

                      We had a very average experience at this restaurant on Christmas Day. We had the set menu with the wine pairing and do not feel like it was good value for money. The food was average particularly the salad for the first course was overly basic. The waiter was lovely but it seems that they were understaffed so we didn’t receive great service. I don’t mind spending good money on good food and service, but really don’t feel like we had good value for money on this experience. Feeling a bit disappointed noting it was our Christmas lunch.

                      Food was just ok. Had pork shank and seemed very bland to me. Gumbo was outstanding! Service was not great. Had to ask for salt and pepper. Had to ask for drink refills. Was given wrong menu initially. Seating was at a very small table among many large tables. Will not return.

                      We had a wonderful Réveillon dinner experience at Tujague’s on Christmas Eve. The oysters Tujague’s were outstanding as were the duck leg confit and the short ribs. Our servers were friendly, knowledgeable and prompt. This was our first trip to New Orleans and our server even made some suggestions for other places to visit while in town. All in all it was a fantastic visit. We not only look forward to taking another trip to NOLA but making a return visit to Tujague’s as well.
