Step into Arnaud's, a Bourbon Street gem serving Creole classics and live Dixieland jazz since 1918, where elegance meets timeless New Orleans charm.
"Arnaud’s is exceptionally festive during the holiday season, making the Thanksgiving table d’hôte a tradition for many. The $65 three course menu includes choices like shrimp Arnaud, roasted butternut squash soup, sauteed red fish with greens and of course, roast turkey with cornbread or oyster dressing." - Beth D'Addono
"Another Creole Grand Dame with a French pedigree, Arnaud’s was founded by a French wine salesman in 1918. From filet au poivre bathed in French brandy cream sauce to the peeled Louisiana crab claws served Provence style, in a Pernod-scented garlic butter sauce, Arnaud’s delivers. For dessert, the restaurant keeps the art of flambé alive with bananas Foster, café brulot, and Crepes Suzette. Have a French 75 in the bar by the same name." - Beth D'Addono
"Arnaud’s is known for a few things. 1. It’s a historic restaurant in the French Quarter. 2. Its James Beard Award-winning bar, the French 75 bar. 3. The souffle potatoes with béarnaise sauce are among the best that can be found, anywhere. What’s not as well-known is that the rest of the restaurant’s dishes also impress. Try the oysters Ohan, which are baked with eggplant and andouille. Whatever you do, end your meal with a fire show and order the cafe brulot." - Clair Lorell
"Arnaud’s ritzy wood-paneled French 75 Bar earned an Outstanding Bar Program award in 2017 while head bartender Chris Hannah was commanding the ship. Hannah continues to garner nominations after leaving Arnaud’s in 2018 to open Jewel of the South and the Cuban bar Manolito. His efforts put French 75 on the map for craft, creative cocktails, a program that remains dazzling." - Beth D'Addono
"Arnaud’s is a classic New Orleans restaurant located right off Bourbon Street that's been serving up great food and cocktails since 1918. The best time to come here is for their jazz brunch when they do a three-course, prix fixe with dishes like grillades and grits, eggs sardou, and shrimp arnaud. You should also make time for Arnaud’s French 75 Bar for a sazerac or an Old Fashioned." - zella palmer, carlo mantuano, megan braden perry
