We loved every aspect of our dinner. Our waiter, John, was knowledgeable and guided us well on what to order and wine pairing. The Fench 75 cocktail (courvossier and champagne with lemon) was light and yummy. We tried the shrimp Arnaud, alligator sausage, fish almondine and crab cakes. Delicious. We were entertained by a jazz trio and ended the evening with creme brulee and tableside prepared flamed Cafe Brulot (which is incredible to watch and just as delicious.) It is a pricy meal but the good and service are worthy of the cost.
Yesterday’s experience was absolutely phenomenal. The service was impeccable the food was absolutely delicious. A world class restaurant with old world charm. Not to be missed dining experience whenever you’re in New Orleans.
Our group of 10, had a wonderful dining experience. Each of us found our food delicious. The bread was the best!!
Our service was exemplary.
The food was excellent. The service was impeccable, and the atmosphere was festive and lovely. A jazz trio played during dinner and came to each table and took requests. The dining experience was perfect and hard to believe that the craziness of Bourbon Street was right outside the window. Perfect dining experience
Arnaud's is now, IMHO the absolutely best traditional New Orleans fine dining you can experience. And Mr. Hannah's Kreole Old Fashioned is the finest example of that drink that can be had! And I have a lot of experience.
Although we don’t get to NOLA as often as we would like, we always enjoy the food and Jazz at the Bistro. It is one place we repeat each visit. Always an excellent meal and the service is attentive without being too much. This trip was for a birthday dinner. Arnaud’s Jazz Bistro is still what Bourbon St used to be before it turned cheap and sleazy. Arnaud’s remains a first class establishment. For some reason this recommendation identified their Bar which we’re sure is good but haven’t visited it yet.
Incredible Cajun cuisine, Jazz, and Southern hospitality at Arnaud’s-New Orleans.
I highly recommend stopping in at Arnaud’s when in New Orleans/Bourbon Street. Perhaps you’ll have the good fortune to be invited for a private tour of this historic establishment and its amazing collection of Krewe costumes from across the years.
Everything was great! We hadn’t eaten there since our college days and it was excellent as we remembered it to be! A true New Orleans Classic!!

We made reservations in the Jazz Bistro, and we were delighted! The food was wonderful, sweetbreads were awesome. So, the food was terrific as was the music!
It was a fabulous nite. Delicious food and great service. A beautiful place to enjoy a special occasion.
Linda and Shannon was the best. The food was very good. Can’t wait to eat there again.
The wait staff were respectful, appropriately attentive and delightful. Brunch in the balcony meant less noise and the jazz band came up to us. The food was eloquently presented and delicious. Thank you, chef and thank you, Lizzie and Carter!

Fabulous Sunday Brunch with incredible Jazz Musicians, food and service impeccable and don’t Mia their great museum upstairs!
Such a classic dining experience in New Orleans. It's a splurge, but it just feels like a special occasion. The service was stellar and the architecture/ambiance felt historic. The food was rich and delicious and you can tell these folks appreciate a good cocktail. Appreciate being able to have this experience.
The atmosphere was amazing. Very impressive, intimate. My husband and I love everything about this establishment. Also their customer service was top notch. From the ladies at the Check in to our Bartender. Y’all made our date night extra special. Also thank you to Amari (our waiter) for offering and giving us a personal tour. She went above and beyond to give us an amazing experience. Definitely telling everyone about this place and can’t wait to come back again.
What an experience! Travis is such a character! He makes this place become very alive and special! Myra is a great professional and very observant.
The food itself was good. I would not recommend their pompano Duarte. It’s not bad, but it’s not as good as the rest of the menu.
Everything else was delicious!!! You must order the Brabant potatoes (1 for 2 peoples)
The atmosphere, the place, the kindness of the entire staff. Yeah yeah! You must go and enjoy!
I had a craving for a Ramos Gin Fizz and Arnaud's seemed the perfect place to satisfy that need. This hundred year old establishment fairly drips with the atmosphere of old New Orleans. I ate at the bar and had a good chat with the guy sitting next to me as we sipped our cocktails and ate small, tasty meals.
Travis was an absolutely amazing server! He is hilarious and helpful because he gave me and my group great advice for where to go in the city! The musical trio was so good and the saxophone player has lungs of steel. I can’t wait to go back for brunch again!
This was, without question, the single best dinner of my life. Everything from the food, ambience, and service was impeccable. I particularly recommend the oysters - I've never had anything quite like them. And of course, you absolutely must get the Cafe Diabolique! I'm glad we came for dinner at the jazz bistro, since the Sugar Bear trio was a pleasure to watch live.
First meal in New Orleans and I was blown away! Came for brunch. It was beautiful. The service. The interior. The FOOD! Apps got shrimp and waffle. Shrimp was delicious! Waffle was nice and fluffy with different strawberry jams. Entrees got crabcake cheesecake, and veal and grits. The grits was very good. However the crabcake cheesecake was amazing! It's crabcake with different vegs and cream cheese. Definitely recommend. Dessert had bread pudding and chocolate hazelnut tart. The tart was so dense and rich with chocolate and hazelnut flavor. It was amazing! Absolutely loved every bit of meal here.
The service is truly spectacular. You’re going to be spending some decent money here, and rightfully so. Friendly and professional staff who are knowledgeable and courteous. The food is spectacular, and the ambiance is very nice. Worth a visit while in New Orleans.
I had the jazz brunch Arnaud’s. The dining room is beautiful and the service is friendly and top notch. I recommend having the seafood cheesecake. It’s probably the best dish I had in all of NOLA. The turtle soup was delicious but I’d place it third behind Commander’s and Brennan’s. The Eggs Benedict I ordered came out a bit too salty but that’s my only complaint and something I can get past. The best part is that there’s a free Mardi Gras museum upstairs with some displays of vintage dresses and memorabilia. There were also some gorgeous dining rooms upstairs that would make great choices for weddings and other special occasions. If you’re looking for a historical experience, I highly recommend Arnaud’s.
Step back in time yet as you enter this culinary classic to enjoy a marvelous dining experience. Arnaud's is over 100 years old yet owned and led by just two families (who you'll see watching over everyone if you are seated in the main dining room). We started with crabmeat prentiss then she enjoyed the meunière while I had the pompano duarte the crème brulée for dessert. And, our final course was capped off with complimentary baked alaska lit on fire tableside in honor of our 25th anniversary! Bonus: extensive wine list with many bottles at lower than expected prices.
We used to go to Arnaud’s Restaurant very frequently, but after covid for some reason we quit going. I had forgotten just how good it is. Arnaud’s is one of the great restaurants of New Orleans. A refined and beautiful restaurant with excellent food and service. Dress appropriately, this is a nice restaurant. You will have a memorable meal and service experience.

My husband and I celebrated our anniversary here with the jazz brunch and we had a wonderful experience! Our servers, Shishir and Harshan did a wonderful job! They were attentive and very accommodating to my soy allergy. The musicians were also very pleasant and their music really elevated the atmosphere. My husband ordered the shrimp arnaud with the savory crab cheesecake and it was phenomenal. I ordered the shrimp arnaud and the gulf fish meuniere and it was divine! For dessert we had the table side banana's foster and it was so delicious! We also got a complimentary mini baked Alaska for our anniversary which was also really good! Overall, amazing experience, service, and food!
The pictures I included had our entrees half eaten! The food was so good I forgot to take a picture!
Arnaud's is a New Orleans institution. The food and service were fantastic. We went for the Saturday Jazz Bistro and had a great time. Prior to the music starting, it was very noisy to the point that you had to raise your voice to have a conversation with anyone at your table. The desserts were delicious and entertaining to watch being prepared.
There is a reason they've been in business over a century. Delicious food, great atmosphere, stellar service. Cocktails were amazing. We went for our anniversary and the staff was so attentive. Don't forget to check out the preserved Mardi Gras gowns upstairs.
Me and boyfriend went to celebrate our 30th birthday and we loved everything! The food, service, and atmosphere were everything an more. A very special treat. You pay for the cost of your entree and get 3 courses each. I got the Belgian waffle and Gruyère omelet, my boyfriend got the gumbo and filet mignon. We shared a bananas foster for two which they came table side to prepare. Live jazz band performed amazingly.
Arnaud’s represents the quintessential New Orleans dining experience. The service is always excellent, the drinks are great, and the food is delicious. The Shrimp Arnaud is my favorite of the appetizers I’ve tried there, but you must like horseradish to enjoy this. I cannot recommend the Pampano Duarte more strongly. It is one of my favorite seafood dishes anywhere. Also, the Meuniére is fantastic. When we were there it was served with the Speckled Trout. I love this place and I’m already looking forward to our next visit.
It was my birthday dinner and the ambiance is amazing. Food was ok. Not earth shattering. But definitely an experience. We were forgot about for a while, but they definitely made me feel special for my birthday. We were there for about 2 hours. Definitely would love to say Yon, the manager, made our night as did the band. Thank you!
Our group had a private event at Arnaud's, and it was awesome! The food was top-notch, each dish packed with flavor and beautifully presented. The service was on point—attentive and friendly. The private space had a great vibe, perfect for our celebration. The staff were great to work with! Very flexible and patient with planning a dinner for such a large group (68). Highly recommend Arnaud's for a fantastic dining experience!
