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 service and food were all 10/10. Justin was great, so was supporting staff and nothing we ate (and we ordered A LOT! The charcuterie board, gumbo, pork cheeks, arancini, crab omelette, shrimp and grits, cocktails like the Left Shark, Pear drink, you NAME IT) wasn’t DELICIOUS. This was for brunch so definitely coming back for dinner and just making this a frequent spot. Loved it!

    Always a pleasure eating at Tujague’s. The food is fresh and tasty and follows the Louisiana tradition of cooking. Especially delicious was the fish entree. It’s also remarkable that they generate a value priced wine list that is comprehensive and recognizable.

    An amazing experience from the moment we walked into the restaurant. We were met and greeted at the reservation desk by the manager Ian Turkmen, a led in a beautiful setting where Rickie (our waiter) guides us through a wonderful 3 course meal. There were 9 of us and you never know if all the entrees ill turn out right, they were perfect, and the baked Alaska at the end was to die for. Truly a great experience all around, also a great wine list!

    The food was amazing! We had the deviled egg and artichoke oyster chowder for starters. The crab cakes eggs Benedict was savory. However, the red beans and rice stole the show. Waitstaff was attentive and helpful!
