Welcome to Brennan's! Our menus marry classic Creole traditions with inspired, contemporary influences. Breakfast at Brennan’s is a spirited, indulgent way to begin your day! Bubbles at Brennan's Happy Hour features discounted bottles of premium Champagne. Flaming Bananas Foster, invented at Brennan's, is a timeless New Orleans tradition. Dine in one of 8 glamorous dining rooms, our famously lush courtyard, or our spectacular wine cellar.

Why they're an Icon

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.

    wait staff short handed. Lots of people seated in front dining room. We had a table reserved for 2 months and was not available because they were short staffed.

    Ashley was great! Honest about a little mix up with an order and knowledgeable about Brennan’s history. She made things right. The birthday surprise was awesome and the banana fosters was amazing. We didn’t make it through the 100+ page wine list notebook but I’m pretty sure they have what you want. Bucket list ✅

    Service was a bit spotty, but very friendly. Just a lot of small mistakes. I guess we thought this was in the calibre of Commanders or Galatoire's-it really isn't. NOt even close. No dress code, so other diners were in sneakers and t shirts-not a fine dining experience to day the least. More like a diner experience in a fine room. Too bad, could be a special and glorious place.
