Brennan's

October 26, 2025

We spent several days in New Orleans and ate at a few fine dining places, but Brennan's was by far the highlight of our culinary adventures in New Orleans! We came in for brunch, and every minute was superb. The wait staff was so friendly and attentive. The atmosphere is so beautifully decorated and pleasant. We started with a delicious Irish coffee and Bloody Mary. My crab cake appetizer was really special, creatively done with the freshest ingredients and perfectly fried exterior. The turtle soup is a must try! The shrimp and grits had a fun presentation twist, and my husband's duck confit hash browns were out of this world. Of course, we got the bananas foster for dessert. They make the ice cream locally and prepare it in a special way so it doesn't turn to soup with the banana and sauce. It was so delicious and such a fun experience. The "cherry on the cake"? The coffee with chicory is probably the best coffee I've ever had!

Brennan's is historic and it lived up to the hype. The atmosphere was perfect for brunch and the service was impeccable. The food was great also, we got the crab cake, seafood gumbo, shrimp and grits, Scotch egg, and of course we got the bananas foster. I knew the bananas foster was going to be good, but it exceeded my expectations. It's a must get as they flambé it table side. It's a great place for a special occasion.

A NOLA institution! The service and setting are absolutely impeccable. Our server was phenomenal and didn’t make a bad recommendation all night. Sommelier made a great pairing off the wine menu - something new from California that ended up being perfect for the duck and the redfish. Must get the bananas foster! Invented there and the table side prep is fun.

Absolutely had a great experience dining at Brennan’s. I tried the Taste of Brennans’s, my friends had the Blueberry Ricotta Pancakes as well as the Cinnamon Roll. We decided to taste each other’s dish. Each one was delicious. We would also like to give a shout out and a huge thank you to our phenomenal waiter Alfredo H. He was so kind, very attentive, was the life of the room. A lot of our great experience was thanks to Alfredo. Would go back not only for the food but also to get the chance of meeting him again.

Brennan’s is truly a New Orleans treasure with a history as rich as its flavors. This iconic French Quarter restaurant has been serving guests since 1946 and is world-famous for creating Bananas Foster, one of the city’s most celebrated desserts. My daughter and I chose the three course chef’s choice option, which included a Caesar salad, stone shrimp, and a Snickers-inspired dessert that was absolutely divine. I paired mine with a lovely glass of Pinot Grigio, while my partner enjoyed a perfectly cooked steak. Even the warm starter bread was memorable. The service was impeccable. Our waiter was kind, attentive, and made the evening feel extra special. The ambiance was beautiful, blending fine dining with a casual atmosphere that made us feel both elegant and comfortable at the same time. Dining here feels like stepping into history with the classic New Orleans charm and timeless building. I really wanted to try their legendary Bananas Foster, but since it is prepared for two I will save that for next time. And there will definitely be a next time. Between the food, the service, and the ambiance, this was an incredible experience. Love New Orleans, love the French Quarter, and absolutely loved Brennan’s.
