Why they're an Icon

Executive chef: Ryan Hacker

From the OpenTable editors: The place to be seen sipping bubbles at Benedict brunch, Brennan’s is one of the most stunning restaurants in New Orleans—long before the era of Instagram. Think black-and-white tile floors, a pastel pink exterior, and minty fresh leather booths, with character dating back to 1946. Bananas foster was invented here, and suited servers still fire it up tableside. The accolades keep rolling in: It's a James Beard semifinalist, Condé Nast Traveler world favorite, and Wine Spectator darling.

    Brennan is simply the best restaurant in New Orleans. Every part our dining experience was perfect from being greeted at reception to having our server help my husband on with his coat. The menu choices are amazing. My husband is still talking about his redfish choice. I chose duck. It’s the best I have ever tasted. Our waiter was so friendly. We had so many different servers attending to every need imaginable. What a delightful special place to have experienced. I can’t wait to go back.

    This restaurant is worth the hype beautiful decor. Ambience is amazing. Our server was incredible full of knowledge and history about the restaurant and the bananas fosters is unbelievably delicious.!. Probably the best eggs Benedict I’ve ever had in my entire life. The crab and avocado toast was amazing. I have nothing bad to say about this restaurant. You will love it

    Brennan's is one of the finest restaurants in the French Quarter. The highlight is starting your day off with "Breakfast at Brennan's" and a Brandy Milk Punch. Absolutely the best Eggs Hussarde anywhere. They are basically Eggs Benedict with Hollandaise Sauce with a touch of mushroom reduction sauce. Delicious... The gumbo was outstanding, too. Another treat is their "homemade" butter.

    Feel like the seasoning level has dropped here. 3 out of 4 dishes impeccably cooked, but flavor lacking. Service still top notch.
