Live music and dancing. The seafood gumbo was excellent but the club sandwich was something I could have made better at home. Worth a stop.

M friend Jamie and I had the distinct pleasure of dining here this morning. We split an amazing omelette with fresh fruit and hashbrowns . Rutha was our server and boy was she busy! I think she was the only server! Rutha was totally efficient and kept our coffees filled. I liked the teamwork here a lot, Rutha had some help from the kitchen and a hostess that helped everything go smoothly! read more

We had just finished our tour & just stumbled upon this place by chance. Their main entrance is through the hotel doors & after walking in we realized the way we came in was not the entrance. It took us a while to get seated, probably for that reason. It was not crowded at all with a very nice interior, spacious layout & lots of glass windows. I went with the stuffed Po Boy with shrimp & the bf got their 2 course special with the onion soup & andouille bolognese. The sandwich was stuffed alright, could barely get my mouth around it. Took the vegetables out to make it a little thinner. The perfect amount of batter on the shrimp with a spicy aioli, just ended up just eating the shrimp by itself by the end. Bolognese was good, the andouille & the onion soup though were really good. Loaded with flavor & the soup reminded us of a similar one that we like back home. read more

This was a last minute pick while walking down Burgundy on my first day of Voodoo. The wall murals were definitely conversation starters, leaving much to the imagination. We started with some tasty libations. Followed by some well presented entrees and sweet dessert. Pleasant mix of healthy and locale cuisine. There was no wait and our server Amy was pleasant and informative on the menu items. read more

The hotel restaurant that we actually ended up enjoying very much. Our stay included breakfast each morning which was very good. Only complaint is that we were limited on what we were allowed to order. I would steer clear of the breakfast sandwich because the croissant came out soggy and wet. The cheesy grits were phenomenal and the bloody Mary's were spicy and delicious. We came back here for our last lunch before heading to the airport. I recommend the flats breads and the French onion soup read more

Came here for a jazz brunch. It was a small space and the music was really good! Their food was also excellent but there was a large selection of items to choose from. Our waitress took a long time to bring us anything to drink and for being such a small restaurant, the food took a long time to come out. The place was clean and decorated cute. read more

I enjoyed the ambiance of the place. The murals, in the style of Toulouse-Lautrec, give it a Parisian cafe vibe, and the staff is pleasant enough. The menu, however... Let's just say I dropped in for a quick breakfast and wasn't inspired to return for dinner. The entrees looked overpriced and I didn't see any good vegetarian options. I got two eggs scrambled and a bagel, and my friend got the "hash browns." The latter is in quotations due to the fact that they weren't like any hash browns I'd ever seen; they were more like the heavily spiced mini cubed "hash" potatoes one can buy in the frozen aisle of your local chain store. My eggs were good, but the bagel was pretty blah. It was skinny and plain, and I had to request butter... like, what else would I want to put on it? All in all, not terrible, but probably wouldn't eat there again. read more

Normally I don't eat at the restaurant from the hotel, but the food here is truly amazing. I especially enjoyed their steak fries which are rich flavors and texture. Their cheese burger is also to die for, and extremely high quality. I truly enjoyed my experience eating here. I will feature them on my instagram fernandoabroad. I highly recommend anyone traveling to New Orleans to come eat here. read more

It's a hotel restaurant, not a New Orleans staple. BUT so what ? It was good food at the Maison Dupuy and we didn't have to wait in line in the rain for it. Creole Staples are on the menu - grillades, shrimp & grits, french breakfast items like Benedict's & croissants. It was good too - we all devoured our plates and immediately needed a walk about, ha. The portions are giant and just about any table gives you a view out of the window on the cross streets to watch people walking by. There was live jazz Christmas Eve that wafted into the courtyard which was just pleasant. t's probably not a spot you need to go, but if you're nearby this could be a good stop for you ! read more

Staying at the hotel Maison Dupuy, only 2 blocks from Bourbon street, it was nice to have a upscale bar and restaurant to be able to relax at. Sunday mornings from 9am to 3pm they have a Jazz band, really great brunch menu and unlimited Mimosas! I had the crab cake Benedict, yummy! Good service! Great band! read more

I stumbled into this artistic restaurant on the corner of Toulouse and Burgundy attracted like a moth to the light by the Toulouse Lautrec painted wall murals. I decided to have a cocktail and Roasted and Confit Duck - Seared duck breast, brussel-beet-confit leg hash, sweet potato & fig glaze. I was so dazzled by the decor that I didn't realize that this restaurant was part of a hotel. I normally shun hotel restaurants figuring they have a captive audience which makes for lower quality of food, but wait and au contraire- in the last few years many restaurants having to compete with stand alone joints have upped their culinary game. I kept staring at the walls and ate my dinner forgetting to take pics of the food for my loyal following. Well, next time and you will have to try it as they serve breakfast lunch and dinner. The only problem for me as a Celiac is that some of my fav dishes are made with Abita beer. A no no for me but you wheat eaters should enjoy these beer soaked delicacies. read more

The only reason we came over here, was because we had a vouchers for a breakfast. I opted to order the Corned Beef Hash, as I never tried it before- big mistake! The food wasn't bad, per se, but wasn't great, either. Our water was friendly, and the service was great, but there will not be a second visit. I think there's better restaurants in NOLA worth experiencing. Two and Half Yelps. read more

1 OF 7 RESTAURANTS I HAD TO REVISIT BEFORE MOVING OUT OF THE QUARTER. Yep, after almost 20 years I'm happily headed back Uptown! So this final week I've decided to follow my cravings and begrudgingly Bistreaux is a "must do" for their: TRUFFLE OIL MAC & CHEESE, it's simply the best i've ever had. BUT Bistreaux is consistently disappointing... snarky service overpriced and word has it... THEY'RE PAINTING OVER THE FOLLIES BERGÈRE MURAL! read more

It was our last night in New Orleans and we wanted to find a restaurant near our hotel (Hotel St. Pierre http://www.yelp.com/biz/hotel-st-pierre-new-orleans-2). We walked into the bar area around 6:30 pm and opted to stay there because the menu was more appealing and reasonably priced than the connecting restaurant. The bartender, who was also our primary server, was very nice and the drinks I had (basil gimlet, Pimm's cup) were both quite good. The food was also quite tasty. My honey and I split a ceasar salad and for my main dish I ordered the red fish (local fish of the day) that came with mashed potatoes and fresh veggies (tomatoes, spinach and corn). The fish was seasoned and cooked perfectly -- a little bit flaky but still nice a moist. Although the food and drinks were four to five stars, I am holding steady at three because the service was hit and miss and the music was really annoying. Although the bartender was very nice and made great drinks, the timing was really off during our entire meal and we weren't able to order our second drinks until halfway through our meal. Not a problem for my Pimm's cup but my honey really wanted a glass of wine with his entree. The headache inducing music was a unsuccessful mashup of the fantastic live music drifting in from the connecting restaurant and the 'meh' top 40s hits being played in the bar area. read more

We stumbled upon this place just walking around NOLA. The restaurant is connected to hotel Maison Dupuy, and the atmosphere is dim lit with jazz music playing, not a scene for people who are looking to have fun. They started us with bread which was terrible, but I'm from New York so our bread is way different than the bread here. I ordered the Caesar salad, it was good, but nothing great. The service was good and the food came out quick but that was really the only good thing about eating there read more

We ate breakfast here, as guests of the Maison Dupuy hotel which it shares space with. Service was pleasant. Food is a bit pricey by looking at the menu, but the portion sizes almost justify the cost. We had the Belgian waffle with a delicious honey nut butter, and the avocado toast was fantastic! You could easily split the toast for two people. Being on a budget, I opted to skip the $4 coffee and had the free coffee from the lobby afterward. It was a bright airy space with lovely wall murals. On a separate occasion I had a gin cocktail at the bar which was made well. Worth stopping in for breakfast if you are staying here on a trip, it was the best breakfast we had while in New Orleans. read more

Bistreaux - Avocado toast - Jazz & Blues Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

Not sure how many stars to award. I'd say 2.5 stars, but will round to 3. Food was good to okay, service was bad to okay. We stayed in this hotel, but only ate here because our flight was rescheduled to the next morning, so needed dinner and breakfast. For dinner, our waiter was incredibly rude for no reason. He brought over menus and just threw them down on our table, with no hello or anything. A few minutes later, he came over and asked "Ready to order?" We wanted to know what the soup was, he rushed in saying something that neither of us could understand and walked off. He returned and said, "Do you know what you want?!" Okay - so we each got a caesar salad. I asked for no tomatoes - and he actually rolled his eyes and shaked his head. WTF?! About 2 minutes after the food was brought, he came over and said "Everything's good, right?!" Cue eye rolling and walking off mid-sentence. I seriously have no idea what was going on. We absolutely did not deserve the rude service we received. The next day we ordered breakfast. I only wanted a croissant and tea. My husband got toast and biscuits. My tea was lukewarm. And the croissant were two mini croissants you buy in bulk packages at Stop and Shop, which were hard and dry! I was insulted that they dared put that on a plate to serve it to a customer. I did not eat it and asked that it be taken off my bill - which they did. Overall, I would absolutely not return here for food - the service was terrible and the food was not great. read more

Ken, our smiling waiter, met is with Ice water and endless ice tea. We had cool crisp strawberry salad with large shrimp and fresh Caesar salad plus bright gumbo and spicy sausage. The room was quiet, very cool and not drafty. The large windows gave a perfect view of the tourists and costumed locals. We lucked onto a perfect midday break. About $40 for a nice lunch for two . read more

I had just arrived in New Orleans and was looking for some good lunch fare. My husband, cousin, and I were delighted to read the reviews on Bistreaux and decided to give it a try. Let me start off by saying that there was quite a mix-up. When we walked in the waiter only gave us 2 menus, but I offered to "share" with my cousin. I guess I should have let him bring me another menu because he thought I was sharing a meal with my cousin. He took our order and didn't even look at me, but I shouted what I wanted as he walked away and he repeated it to me. I had been up since 4 am and was absolutely starving so you can imagine my disappointment when the waiter came out and my meal was not there. Of course he apologized for the mix-up, but to be honest his service was not he best regardless. Luckily, the food was delicious! I had the cochon de lait and it was absolutely fantastic. I think it was missing the pickles, but it was still totally scrumptious. The french fries on the side were a perfect compliment. Since my meal took a few minutes to come out I was able to try my cousin's truffle mac and cheese and it was delicious. I loved the presentation in a mini pot. I was also able to grab a bite of my husband's grilled cheese sandwich. The bread was huge, but melted in my mouth. I am not the biggest fan of grilled cheese, but this was done very well. It was accompanied by roasted tomato soup which would have been perfect, but I didn't really care for the giant dollop of creme fraiche. Overall, the food was exactly what I wanted at that moment. We did have a few service hiccups and our waiter seemed very disinterested, but I would go back any day of the week for the cochon de lait. They certainly know how to make fantastic fare. read more

Prices were fair. Breakfast on my end was fine. Had the traditional breakfast with a side of sausage. Nothing over the top but got the job done. My girlfriend on the other hand didn't have the best of breakfast days. She ordered the Belgium waffle, said it was too flaky and seemed as though it was made previously and just reheated or repurposed. Our waitress was great though, very cordial and attentive. Just a kitchen mishaps I suppose. It'd be a 4 star if my girlfriend hadn't stopped eating her waffle midway. read more

We were driving by on a rainy day in NOLA when we spotted this restaurant on the corner. We had Boudin balls, red beans and rice and a club sandwich. My wife had a Lucy Broussard cocktail and then a second because it was so good! The wait staff was very polite and attentive, the ambiance was nice and the food was extremely good! Background music playing while we dined turned this rainy day into a place we will visit again when in the Big Easy. read more

Bistreaux - the interior of a restaurant - Jazz & Blues Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

After a hectic day of sightseeing in the French Quarter, my wife and I were looking for a nice restaurant away from the clamor of Bourbon Street. We were attracted to the quiet and sophisticated ambiance of Bistreaux's exterior appearance. The interior was equally as welcoming with Lautrec-muralled walls, spacious layout and classy bar area. We ordered the Confit Duck, gumbo, grits, Caesar salad, beer and wine. All were very tasty and satisfying. Our server, Susan "the Peruvian", was a real pleasure, both charming and attentive. We consider the Bistreaux an unexpected gem, and will go back again. read more

I wouldn't have considered breakfast for 3 grossly over priced at $80 if the food was better. No seasoning on the hollandiase, or on the omelette made for a lackluster experience. The server was running around like a chicken with her head cut off cause they were understaffed. She didn't know what was in an Italian coffee and never made it by with the Togo cup of coffee. We we're staying at the hotel so it was convenient, I wouldn't make a special stop read more

Absolutely amazing and extremely courteous staff the waiter who helped us was very pleasant and the kitchen supervisor even came out to greet us to let us know are delicious Burger would be a few more minutes than expected also when we had changed our order even after the waiter put it in the waiter was gracious.

The food is pretty excellent. The service is extremely bad. Do not let there be more than 2 people in here when you come. You will literally wait forever for everything. And it was freezing inside. My truffle fries were cold before i really got through them, and I'm by no means a slow eater. Dishes from the previous course hung around a lot longer than I appreciated or than they really should have. And when I moved them to edge of the table to make life easier for the server, he just continued to walk past them, even when he gave me the bill before i was ready (I wanted to order dessert). I dunno. Took a very long time to get my dessert as well. Ice cream began to melt before it got to me. Guess it was fitting that I ate it with a soup spoon since I wasnt given a dessert spoon. I wish I could say it was a bad day, but it was the same the first time I was here too. I was hoping the second time would be the charm, but naaaaaaah. Step it up y'all!!! read more

What a joke. I am staying in the hotel, got to the restaurant about 11am. Was given a breakfast menu, chose an omelet. After 15 minutes of repeated "sir, the food is on the way" I was told there was a mix up because breakfast had ended at 11, so nothing was being prepared. I should have left then, but because the waiter was trying so hard I asked for a lunch menu. I selected a croque monsieur sandwich. After another 15 minutes the sandwich arrived, it was inedible. Unbelievable experience and, if anything I am underestimating the time gaps. read more

The absolute worst meal my family and I had while visiting New Orleans. We had breakfast here and my eggs were under cooked and runny, while my mom's were overcooked. Plain and tasteless.

The service at Bistreaux is incredibly poor. We made a reservation and were seated on time. Our server was pleasant, but it should not take 80 minutes to get 5 menu items.

O so good Gumbo. I had to stop by this place during a recent trip to New Orleans. Our group had a buffet style dinner setup for us. Full Bar, they served us Gumbo, artichoke pizza and some mini eggs rolls. Can't say it was great but the gumbo was quite yummy. The service was not so great. They constantly ran out of plates and food and eventually they had food and no plates or bowls so we were kinda being teased. Don't was to use the restrooms! they only have one restroom and if you have to go really bad, sorry chum, you're just gonna have to hold it. Not a place i'd go out of my way for. read more

Generally try to avoid restaurants attached to hotels but we don't regret visiting Bistreaux. We stayed in the French Quarter close to Rampart St. (not at the attached hotel) and it was a very short walk to the restaurant. Table had salad with fried oysters, hush puppies, cup of gumbo & crab cakes with fried green tomatoes. One adult beverage. Restaurant was quiet with nice ambiance. Portions - value / quality / presentation were in line with the price point. Staff was friendly and attentive. Recommended. read more

I don't typically dine in hotel restaurants, but we were in New Orleans on Christmas Day and staying in the Maison Du Puy. The food was horrid and overpriced. The service was dreadful. Per request , the server refilled one coffee without asking the rest of the table whether they too would like more coffee. The server never came back to check on us during our breakfast . We had to refill our own coffees and water . This is unacceptable . read more

This place has great ambience, very friendly staff, we met the cook and he's a master of excellent food, are martinis or expertly crafted by Laura.

The sauce was deliciousAnd the shrimp was just fabulous. I had bits of squash that was so delicious.I had a fabulous chicken and sausage gumbo. I also had crab cakes and fried green tomatoes with a Cajun remoulade. I highly recommend this place if you end up on to lose and burgundy in the French quarter in New Orleans. read more
