Got love it! Came across this really cool place while visiting from DC. The handcrafted cocktails were my favorite! All the staff were really nice and great at what they did ! The crawfish pasta was to die for ! So flavorful and I enjoyed every bite! I would definitely recommend them if you’re in the area!!

We had the Taste of New Orleans and everything was delicious. Great sample of dishes. The bread pudding was amazing! Reminded me of my childhood favourite! Our server Maferina was so friendly and cheerful. We recommend trying this place!

Food was great, best crab cakes! The bottomless mimosas were tasty but keep in mind you can't switch from mimosas to bloody Marys. That would be charged twice.

Food was incredible!! Service was extremely slow. No one came to get our drink orders for over 5 minutes. We were getting ready to walk out. Glad we stayed though bc the food was absolutely delicious! I got the cheeseburger and asked for a side of the Cajun bbq. I was finished with my hamburger before the server brought it but thankfully it didn’t even need the sauce. Husband got the friend chicken blt and wow the sauce that was on it was so yummy!

After reservations at another nearby brunch location fell through, Curio SAVED THE DAY! And I’m so, so happy we found this gem!
From the moment we walked in the hostess/staff welcomed us, provided a high chair, and made sure we were comfortable with our two little ones. It felt like we were being welcomed into someone’s home, or were regulars, which is always a wonderful feeling. They even taught us a hack to turn the highchair upside down, so that the wide base holds the car seat securely — so for that I am eternally grateful and our babygirl was nice and comfy too!
Now that semantics are out of the way, let’s get down to business: Food and Drinks!
As new parents of 2 under 2 on our first vacation, brunch looks MUCH different than what it used to, but the ever-flowing mimosas (+$18 w/entree) brought us right back to our roots! Lol They were perfectly portioned taste/buzz-wise
My meal, eggs pontchartrain, was DECADENT AF! Consisting of Louisiana crab cakes, eggs, spinach, tomato, sourdough, breakfast potatoes ($21.50) and blackened gulf shrimp ($5) try as I might, there was NO way I was finishing this in one sitting. The flavors were delicious and hearty, and it was the perfect dish to soak up the mimosas and fill me up. Highly recommended if you come in hungry!
My partner has The Royal Street Breakfast, and although he didn’t love the grits, agreed that the flavors and portions were on point.
Overall, this brunch was a great experience and I will for sure add Curio to my list of NOLA brunches the next time we are in town. I suggest you do the same!

I've been to NOLA many times but this was my first visit to Curio. I thought the environment was great, the food presentation was modern and clean and the service was exceptional. I got a trio of New Orleans classics. it was pretty simple and the flavor was great. When you serve the classics they better be perfect and these were great, not amazing. I am interested in going back and trying some other things on the menu. Great addition to the French Quarter.

Bartender was great. Drink -4th quarter maybe was the name?- with vodka and blackberry ... Amazing but not strong at all. The salad was the star and even though it was a side it was great. The ranch was outstanding! I had fried green tomatoes and they were great. They could have been more crisp but it was good and had some shrimp with it. My partner had a jambalaya platter with grits. It was good but I wouldn't write home about it. The atmosphere was 😍 amazing and beautiful. Bartender (short hair guy working the 21st) was the best part. It is a bit expensive at 1 meal, 1 app, 2 side salads and a couple drinks ($100 before tip) ... But the location is prime and the bathroom is clean and they had a place to charge at the bar (🤓 smart move 🤓). I am glad we got in before the crowd swamped in from the parade.

Happened upon this place while wandering around. I had the Cesar salad with shrimp. It was seriously mediocre. Nothing special or elevated about this salad, which bummed me out since it was an entre salad, but maybe I'm being too picky. Husband had the red beans and rice with chicken and sausage. He said it was delicious. My friend had jambalaya with salmon and shrimp and she loved it. The donut dessert was SO good. Staff was friendly and attentive. Great little spot.

🌇 Curio has a beautiful balcony/veranda for guests to enjoy dinner at. I went at sunset and really enjoyed the views of the city. I would 100% recommend this as the experience was such a memorable one for me. 🌅
My waiter was very nice and served me quickly and efficiently. She explained the menu to me and was very fluent in all the dishes and their ingredients which was important to me as I avoid dairy. I was dining alone and she didn’t look down on me for this or ask if I’m waiting for anyone which was very thoughtful and tactful of her. I really appreciate your service! 🙏🏼
For mains I chose the taster platter of crab ettoufle, jambalaya, red beans and rice & gumbo. It was a great way to explore local New Orlean flavours in a single meal. I would recommend this dish if you’re looking for a variety of food and want to explore the local cuisine! 🫘🍚🍛
For drinks I had a hurricane, a traditional New Orlean cocktail made with rum. It was strong and refreshing and I would definitely come back here again! 🍹
Overall I had a beautiful experience, Thank you! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

We recently had the pleasure of dining at Curio, and it was an exceptional experience. The food was outstanding, with the blackened shrimp and Jambalaya being particularly memorable for their rich flavors and perfect seasoning. Additionally, the service was top-notch. Our server, Jordan, was not only attentive and professional but also added to the overall positive atmosphere with their fantastic attitude and knowledge about the menu. It's clear that Curio takes pride in both their culinary expertise and customer service, making it a must-visit destination for anyone looking for a delightful dining experience. Highly recommended!
Jessica Behling
Great food! The chilled blue crab claws were delicious! The crawfish cavatappi was also good, but a little bit dry.
Hal Devlin
We had the -Blue Crab cakes with spicy slaw, fish tacos with fritters, and a mixed fried platter. Shrimp and fish were lovely and fresh, highly recommed platter which also includes lots of fries and onion rings, was enough for the Two of us to share. Service was fast, friendly, and attentive. We had the option to sit inside upstairs or dine on their balcony that can seat at least 20-25 people. Lovely spot for an evening meal on Royal Street. We arrived around 17:30 when it was not too busy yet. Prices not too expensive either.
We also tried Two of their cocktails and a beer, all were good.
Crab cakes were just warm, would have proffered them hot (but still tasted great)
Spicy slaw was a bit heavy on the jalapeños
Slice of bread under the platter could have been buttered or dressed with something (but it came with great selections of dips)
Sonia Ramrakhiani
Beautiful location! Royal street is also less busy than bourbon street. So if you are looking for a balcony that is a little less loud than this is the one! The food was mediocre at best. I got the panini and my friend got a salad and fries. Didn’t try their cocktails either but we were happy with the experience!
Joakim Lundqvist
Returned here two days in a row for the best Chicken BLT sandwich I’ve ever had!
Also perfect place for breakfast & brunch.
Brittany Parchman
We joined another couple for lunch on a Saturday at 1. Service was great and we enjoyed the brunch menu. The duck and black eyed pea gumbo was delicious and unique. Highly recommend Curio for a casual lunch/brunch experience. The $12 bottomless rosé was a bonus!
Denise DeLange
The food was delicious! However our server Bree wasn’t as attentive as we would have liked. That was obvious due to our close proximity to other patrons whose server was very engaging, explaining the menu and offering suggestions. When we completed our entree’s she cleared our plates and returned almost immediately with the check. No offer for dessert or coffee. We felt very rushed to leave. I leave these remarks as constructive criticism only and do not wish to leave the impression that this place isn’t Awesome! We will most certainly dine here again!!!!
Stacy Cakes
Overall disappointing experience. Service was slow, although they were friendly, just didn’t see the staff often. Didn’t receive all the items we ordered. My food had clearly been under a heat lamp was dry and nearly inedible. Burger was cooked unevenly and fries were cold. Steak and eggs were missing sauce and cold. The manager did comp what appetizers we did receive and remade the steak and eggs dish for my mom. I won’t go back. Disappointed in Creole Cuisines new restaurant, definitely not what I expected.
Emily Beisel
The Reveillon menu was SO good. Our first time having duck and it was delicious. Matthew was our server and he was great. One of the best meals I’ve ever had!
Autumn Merry
We stopped in this place for a quick happy hour to get out of the rain. Our bartender was outstanding I wish I had gotten her name.
We ordered the shrimp boulette it was so good I will crave them. A crispy ball creamy on the inside with chunks of shrimp and a delicious dipping sauce.
The happy hour was $12 for bottomless rose,not my drink of choice but I tried it. I only had 2 so she gave me a to go cup to get my monies worth. I would say this is a definite must try.
Rhonda Dodson
The food excellent and our waiter was very friendly and helpful with recommendations for our dinner. The Smores fudge Brownie was one of the best desserts I have ever had. We will be back soon.
Matt Spreitzer
Had the ribeye, nothing special and over priced. Mine, Logan’s and Outback are much better. My wife had the Gulf Fish and really liked it. People we were with had the ribs and like it but by the look on their faces I think they expected a larger portion, two small ribs in grits was not what they expected. Dessert was good.
Natalie Parbhoo
Delicious!! Such fresh and well conceived dishes..We love this place!
It's such a gem in the French Quarter with a great local beer selection ,
excellent cocktails and good service.
Favorite dishes we keep coming back for are:
•Tuna and scallop carpaccio
•Turkey necks!!!! w some sort of magical spicy caramel sauce -on the bar menu but can be ordered until 6pm I believe ?
• Burger

Bronze is our gracious Mimosa maker and story teller. Great breakfast for sadly, our last day in New Orleans. What a fabulous week we have spent. This city is unforgettable! Thank you! Curio is a remarkable place. We couldn’t have picked a friendlier better place in town!!!!
Keara Plaisance Adams
The service and the food were both excellent! Christy was an amazing waitress and everything we tried was so great we made each other try it. We will definitely be back!
Josette Istre LeBlanc
The food was on point and delicious. The service was outstanding. Beautiful restored building.
Barry Hughes
Had a lite bite before stolling Boubon St.
While the food was very good, our server was rude, obnoxious, and sacastic. Ended up arguing with 2 of our friends, and while manager tried to smooth things over finally asked our friends to leave. Will not return.
Wonder why no one's posted a review in a month and a half too?
No matter if the food is good or not, the staff and Mgmt can make or break the guests experience.
Corp America better step up and get a clue from small business: EVERY customer is important whether a single "mom and pop" or 300+ locations.
Hope Larkin-Barzowski
We waited 15 minutes for service after we were seated. Food was overpriced for the portion. Ordered Biscuits (plural) & Gravy. Plate came with 1 biscuit. Service was very slow & inattentive. The Manager realized this & took $14.00 off our bill. Went for the convenient location, but will not return here.
Janis Kujan
We stopped in for happy hour on Wednesday and enjoyed it so much we went back again on Friday. Unfortunately, our experience the second time wasn’t as good. Even though we just wanted drinks, the “hostess” asked us to sit upstairs in the dining room. There was plenty of room downstairs, at least 10 empty tables (it was 3:10). Only one small group upstairs and you couldn’t see anything out the windows. Disappointed.
Margaret M. Tolle
Marlin was a fabulous server. Took great care of us. Food was delicious. Our desserts was personally torched by the chef. Smore brownie sunday.
Amy TheCrusher
We had a large party and it was pretty late. Chris was our waiter and he was excellent !! Great food and atmosphere 👍🏼
