Brennan's

New Orleans
Cajun and Creole Restaurant
$$$$

Located in the French Quarter, Brennan's is without a doubt one of the most important eateries in New Orleans. Dubbed the “old pink lady” due to its fanciful pink and green decor, the iconic restaurant serves a menu boasting upscale Cajun classics with a modern twist. Indulge in dishes like turtle soup, redfish amandine, and slow-baked Gulf fish with butter-poached crab, oysters, and shrimp. Breakfast at Brennan's is taken just as seriously as dinner, and dishes like Eggs Cardinal (crispy lobster and shrimp boudin with Creole mustard hollandaise) are richer than any other breakfast in the area. Top off your meal here with an order of the infamous bananas Foster.

Steeped in history, Brennan’s has been a French Quarter institution since 1946. From its signature pink facade to the legendary inner courtyard—turtles and all—the restaurant offers a feast for the senses, not to mention elegant service and an extensive beverage program that’s perfect for celebratory groups. Led by executive chef Ryan Hacker, the kitchen produces a mix of classics like seafood gumbo, shrimp remoulade, Gulf fish amandine and gussied-up crowd pleasers like satsuma-lacquered duck or buttermilk-roasted chicken with rice dressing. This might just be the most famous place in town for a fanciful breakfast or blow-out brunch, but no matter when you visit, you can’t leave without an order of Bananas Foster, which was invented here and still gets flambeed tableside.
