• French • Garden District

Booked 67 times today

Come dine in this beautifully restored Uptown restaurant on Magazine Street and enjoy James Beard Award Winning Chef Justin Devillier's contemporary Louisiana Cuisine.The La Petite Grocery name pays homage to the history of its home, a building that’s stood for more than a century. The original structure was built in the late 1800s and called the Central Tea, Coffee and Butter Depot. In 1908, a fire devastated the space and it was transformed into a full service grocery store. Later it was most notably a fine foods and butcher shop, VonderHaar’s Fine Foods until 1982. When La Petite Grocery opened in March of 2004, they similarly aspired to provide the neighborhood with exotic teas, locally roasted coffee, and fresh produce. By doing this, we hope to provide a dining experience that evokes nostalgia of old New Orleans. Reservations are preferred.

The food and service were great, just a bit noisy, as expected, with many celebrating. The food format, small plate tapas now, changed since our last visit a year ago, we are from out of town, but still plenty to share. Highly recommended!

Food was excellent! We got the Parker Bread (MUST), Mardi Gras Shrimp (so yummy!), Surf and Turf Roll, Filet, Ribeye, Seafood Mac and Cheese (wouldn’t get again), Broccolini (wouldn’t get again), and PB&J Bread Pudding. We heard the garlic mashed potatoes are amazing so we would try those as a side next time! It is definitely a great experience you don’t want to miss out on! Some of the best steaks we have had out and the bread and butter is something I’ll be talking about forever!

Our server Peyton was amazing. She was super sweet and knowledgeable about the menu. My wife’s first experience wasn’t the best when we came in March but I told her to try it one more time because my experience was really good the first time I came with friends. Let’s just say she’s glad she came back.
