*Delayed post from Jan '25. Stopped here for a light dinner and really enjoyed it! The atmosphere was upscale, but welcoming, and out server was very attentive, providing everything we needed with quick and polite service. The fried green tomato caprese was my favorite plate by far because it was super crispy on the outside and the tomato wasn't mealy whatsoever. The acidity from the balsamic glaze was the perfect topping for the salty fried tomato, nutty pecan pesto and creamy cheese. The French Onion Soup was delicious as well, but I wish they had more soup in the bowl, or rather cut back on the amount it's topped with because the bread pieces soaked up too much of the soup. Love the cheese on top though! The Werlein salad aka Casear salad was pretty standard, but I appreciated that the chicken wasn't overcooked or dry, as can easily happen for this dish. read more

It's cool inside here. Staff was okay. Food just was not great. Edible, but not worth the price. 5 years ago, food seemed to be a lot better. Seems to have gone downhill a tad. Maybe an off night for them. read more

On any weekend afternoon, I love sneaking up to the Black Duck Bar at the Palace Cafe. They're a white cloth napkin style cafe with traditionally excellent Brennan's service. There's an impressive rum selection and great small bites too. I've enjoyed the French onion soup but my favorite is the crab cheesecake. Rum cake is a house specialty but I find it to be under seasoned and not quite as boozy as it should be for a Canal Street sweets. Do get the Canal Street cocktail! A lovely rum based play on the espresso martini. read more

For the price, I would skip this restaurant. Visit Antoine's instead. Owned by the same family, both restaurants are pricey but offer different themes. Palace Cafe is pricey and the food is just okay. The service also left a lot to be desired because our water cups were left empty even after I requested more water, and our alcohol drinks were also left empty. The ambience is nice, but there are nicer restaurants in New Orleans if you want to visit for the atmosphere. read more

I discovered Palace Cafe on TikTok, noting their gumbo was a must try! Naturally, this was where we had dinner our first night in NOLA. Beautiful restaurant, reservations highly recommended, we felt underdressed but no pressure as a lot of people were in casual wear or semi-casual. They have a bar located upstairs called the Black Duck. If I weren't pregnant I for sure would've liked to dine and drink up there. My husband and I got the Gumbo Yaya and St. Charles Pasta as our meals then finished off with their Crème Brûlée. The gumbo was flavorful but not overly salty as I've previously had elsewhere. Such an excellent comfort dish and very filling with their Louisiana Popcorn Rice. St. Charles pasta was creamy, well seasoned, and my husband fell in love with their Gulf Shrimp. He described it as meaty and so fresh, the smell after eating each one was just like the ocean. I can't relate as I don't do seafood LOL. Crème brûlée was a delight. Nothing extraordinary but that's the beauty of it. A creamy and slightly sweet custard with a perfectly hard caramelized sugar shell. Best part of this visit was we were sang to by two wonderful gentlemen! They were going around to each table singing a song personalized to their visit to NOLA. We said we were visiting for our Baby Moon. Highly recommend making it over here. We will be back again! read more

Hands down, a New Orleans staple. I had heard about the Palace Café and seen pictures which drew my friend and I to adding it to our restaurant list for our trip to New Orleans -- but you never know until you try a place whether their reputation is accurate or if it's just another "meh" tourist spot. Oh was I excited to find that the food, cocktails, ambiance and service were beyond what I had hoped for! The bar tender did a wonderful job with our off-menu cocktails (we had a hankering for a bourbon Sidecar), and our server was a friendly, helpful, attentive gentleman who provided wonderful recommendations for local music. The space is classy, beautiful, and a respite from the busyness outside and feels like a classic French restaurant. Then THE FOOD, people! The crab cheesecake (don't worry about it, just try it), the Turtle Soup, and the Cajun pasta dish were brilliant -- even the bread and butter were lovely. Some of the best food we had our entire trip! I'll say it again -- do yourself a favor and put this on your list of NOLA adventures! read more

We were staying across the street and kept meaning to go by Palace Cafe for their bananas foster. It wasn't until the last day we were in the city when we finally made it out. We had been wandering the city all day and were tired. Popped in here mid-afternoon, so the place was pretty empty. We were asked to wait about 10 minutes while they got a table ready for us, which was a bit confusing because of how empty the place was, and I can only surmise that it was because they didn't want to mess up some of the tables set up for dinner service. Understandable if that's the case. This place feels fancy, but it's also right on Canal in the middle of tourism central, so don't feel like you have to get a gussied up for it. When we were there, we saw a few people eating on their own, and everyone was dressed pretty casually. At the same time, it totally seems like a place that you could get dressed up and come for an upscale night out. Our server was Akilah, and she was awesome! We ordered the house salad (refreshing and completely hit the spot) and the spinach artichoke pasta (the sauce was creamy but not overly heavy, with this light subtle flavor that didn't overwhelm, the pieces of tomato, spinach, and artichoke in the dish, but complimented it nicely, pasta was nice and al dente), and of course, the bananas foster, where Akilah rolled a portable stove tableside and made it in front of us, while explaining how it's done and the story behind bananas foster (involves some extra leftover bananas). The kitchen also split everything into different plates for us, since we were sharing everything. Food was solid and service was impeccable from beginning to end. read more

Very nice atmosphere with a little fancy touch. They have big windows so you can easily people watch while you eat! SERVICE: Our server was fabulous! Check on us often and helped me navigate a dairy allergy. FOOD: Also fabulous. I had the steak frites which was super tender and their house made sauce was super yummy. We needed the evening with the famous bananas foster. (Ice cream on the side so I could try it) yay! If you are staying at the JW it is right across the street. Go give them a try! read more

Went here for brunch at it was delicious. I wasn't sure what to expect but was pleasantly surprised. There was live music which was great.

UNDERWHELMING!!! We managed to snag a last-minute reservation on a weekend night, but it seemed like walk-ins wouldn't have to wait long to be seated. Our server was attentive throughout the meal, which was appreciated. We ordered the Fried Green Tomato Caprese, Brasserie Burger, and Bananas Foster. The Fried Green Tomato Caprese was a creative and delicious twist on the classic dish--I'd highly recommend giving it a try. Unfortunately, the Brasserie Burger was a letdown. We ordered it medium rare, but it came out overcooked, which really ruined the experience. It's a shame because the Red Leicester cheese and garlic aioli seemed like they could've elevated the burger if it had been properly prepared. The biggest disappointment was the Bananas Foster, which was served with an unripe banana, making it practically inedible. Overall, the meal was underwhelming, and I wouldn't recommend this place. read more

Palace Cafe has the air of a fine dining restaurant with good food, however not as delicious as our previous visit. Upon walking in, the restaurant has a classy ambiance. The wait staff was very friendly and accomodating. We ordered a variation of the shrimp pasta (pasta st. Charles) as well as their brasserie burger either bacon and fries, both looked appetizing and were tasty! The one criticism was that the food from 1 year ago was much better than our food today. Unsure if theres been a change in the back of the kitchen, but the food was not as fantastic, but still good! I would give Palace cafe another chance if I returned to New Orleans. read more

Was recommended to try this spot by coworkers, and it definitely lived up to the hype. From the exceptional service from our server Juan to the delicious food, this place earns my full recommendation from me. The table side BANANAS FOSTER was undoubtedly the star of the show, literally. Not only was the presentation a fun spectacle, but the dessert itself was absolutely delicious. For the main, I decided to keep it light with the APPLE POMEGRANATE SALAD. I wasn't expecting much, but I was pleasantly surprised how good it was that I actually cleaned the plate. As for appetizers, we tried the FRIED OYSTERS CHARTRES and the MOUSSE DE FOIE DE CANARD. Both were flavorful, but if I had to choose a favorite, it would be the duck liver mousse. I'll most definitely be back to try more dishes the next time I'm in NOLA. read more

This was one of the first places we went to dinner at in New Orleans and it did not disappoint. A local friend recommended this place. The tableside bananas foster dessert was the absolute best! So amazing and so good. If anything just go for this dessert. My friend had the pasta (very good she said) and we all split the fried green tomatoes, so yummy, and I also had the fish which was amazing of course as well. Service was spectacular and in a really nice dining area. My friend had a very fun tiki drink as well. read more

We had a chance to try this restaurant while visiting New Orleans for a conference. The dining room, a two story setting with a spiral stair case connecting the two floors, is very nice. We sat upstairs and ordered drinks and a few appetizers (crab cheesecakes, fried oysters and one other app whose name I am forgetting). The "cheesecakes" came right away and were delicious. The other apps took quite a while (perhaps they forgot to enter them?). When they finally arrived, the portions were somewhat meager, but the fried oysters were so good. We asked for a slight delay between appetizers and ordering our entrees, but it turned into a lot longer wait between the two. Service was a little slow resulting in an almost 4 hour dinner. Our party of seven got the Palace Filet (which everyone enjoyed), Andouille Crusted Fish (quite tasty), and Fruits De Mer Pasta. Everyone seemed to enjoy their entrees. The desserts were fantastic: bananas foster and the white chocolate bread pudding. read more

My daughter and I wanted to find a different place to eat out and came across this white table linen coverings for the look of elegance. We were seated fairly quickly even though we didn't have a reservation. Our hostess guided us to our table and removed my napkin from my space. She came back with a black one and didn't explain why. When she came back with our server, we were informed that the 'lint' from the white napkin would be on my black slacks, so to avoid a situation, I was given a 'lint-free' one. Our server was not very friendly, which tainted our experience a bit. We both had the Chicken dish with sweet potato purée, squash medley, and sauce. It looked appetizing, however for me, the taste wasn't as flavorful. My expectations diminished. The server didn't provide bread, which other diners were given, and was upset to be asked for some. She didn't bother to check on us and that was fine by me. I'd give a lower rating, however the style and atmosphere was genuinely appealing. The customer service could have been better. Overall, the food was fair and the loaf of bread seemed a bit old (very hard and difficult to chew). I won't be returning. read more

One of four of the Dickie Brennan & Company Family of Restaurants, Palace Cafe was recommended by my local presenter at a conference I attended today. When she said her husband is a foodie my ears perked up. Glad I took her suggestions when she mentioned this is one her favorite places for gumbo. Beautiful old New Orleans style 2 story building with a cool curving staircase good for photos. All the food and drinks here were good but starred items were the stars for me and some of the best I had on this trip! They start all tables off with a little baguette served in a paper bag. Soft on the inside crunchy on the outside it's helps to mop up delicious soups and sauces. Gumbo Yaya- (andouille sausage, chicken, popcorn rice) went for this dish which was very good high end gumbo (not as thick as anticipated) ***Turtle soup- went for gumbo but left a turtle soup lover! Love how they blend the spices with lemon that gave it just the right tartness. Sherry added after to taste. I think the actual turtle was just small cubes of meat that tasted like chicken? ***crabmeat cheesecake - mushroom sauce, creole meunière sauce, Gulf crab claws. Like a seafood quiche atop a beautiful pecan crust. No cream cheese On my second visit in 3 nights I had one of the most delicious drinks *** Cafe Au Rhum #2. ($13) rum, framboise, Frangelico, cold brew coffee, xocolatl mole bitters Cousin had a Juke Joint Chopin vodka and blueberry liqueur- **Smoked Gulf Fish with fried plantain chips-reminded me of the smoked ahi spread in Hawaii that I love. This was a white fish ***Bananas Foster- fresh bananas, brown sugar, cinnamon, rum flambé, vanilla bean ice Cream . This signature dessert of the Brennan family, whose restaurant started it, comes served with a presentation and narrative that gives you the history of this banana flambé. If you come here you must get it!!! We were happy we were able to get one and share since we read there was a 2 order minimum 2 of the best meals I had in NOLA! read more

The Palace cafe is one of the Brennan family restaurants. It is in a two story converted bank building on canal street. The ambiance is upscale casual and the feeling is vibrant in the large downstairs dining area. The upstairs dining is reached by elevator or a really ornate curving iron staircase. Impressive. We've had breakfast, lunch and several dinners there over the years. This visit we had dinner which included a bowl of Gumbo Yaya, Shrimp Tchefuncte over grits in a sauce that was excellent as was the Andouille Crusted Fish which was tender and lightly spiced in a great sauce too. For dessert we had the White Chocolate Bread Pudding which needed more white chocolate sauce and our polite and efficient server Bradley A quickly served us more sauce and it was very good. So, when in New Orleans try The Palace Cafe for any meal. read more

I love this place! Stopped by on a cold evening for dinner and was able to sit immediately. The inside is super pretty with a large spiral staircase - this is definitely a nicer sit-down restaurant. The service was great as well! I ordered the crabmeat cheesecake and the chicken piquante (fried chicken served with jambalaya). The crabmeat cheesecake is a MUST; the crunchy pecan crust combined with the light crab cake is the perfect combination. The Creole sauce layered on top of the cake was so rich and the perfect level of salty. I will be dreaming about this dish! The chicken piquante was tasty - super crispy and I thought the portion size was perfect. I also tried a few bites of the shrimp remoulade salad and really appreciated the freshness of the dish. I think they are famous for their bananas foster (which they flambé at the table) - I definitely wanted to try this! Maybe next time. read more

The Palace Cafe is a beautiful restaurant with 2 floors of seating that are connected by a sweeping staircase. Being that we were here during Mardi Gras, it was incredibly crowded, yet we were seated right away. They have a wonderful selection of traditional New Orleans cuisine, like Turtle Soup and Shrimp Étouffée. To top it all off, we had to get the Bananas Foster - when in Rome and all. The table side presentation never disappoints! read more

We stopped in on a Sunday night, dressed in shorts and t-shirts, we were worried that we were too casual for this fancy looking establishment. It was a beautiful restaurant, with spiral staircase close to the entrance. The hostess assured us that we were fine. We were sat at a Hightop table with a view of the kitchen (which was so clean and neat, btw). Our server, Melissa, was great! She was personable and very informative when she dedescribed the dishes on the menu. While we decided on what we were going to order, she brought us bread and butter. We read about the crab cheesecake and that sounded interesting and it's one of their most popular dishes. It was interesting, good, but I don't think I'd order it again. We ordered the Andouille crusted fish (which was red fish that day) that was so delicious, I loved the Crystal Beurre Blanc sauce. It was also very beautifully presented over carrots and mirlitons. We also ordered the pecan catfish over popcorn rice with haricot verts. I'm not sure which fish was better, we were both very pleased that we stopped in on whim. We decided to get bananas Foster since this was a Brennan's restaurant and we loved it when we ordered it at Brennan's (where the dessert was created). The man, who appeared to be in management, was very engaging in conversation as talked us through his presentation of tableside Bananas Foster. It was good, but the one we had a Brennan's was better. I would like to come back for brunch next time I'm in town. read more

Top notch dining and an excellent wine list. 5 of us for dinner. Initially the service after our waters was slow. It definitely picked up once the drink order was submitted. An exceptional Zinfandel followed by appetizers of Shrimp Cocktail, Oyster loaf (six dusted/fried oysters dressed on an untoasted bruschetta slice), Turtle soup and a house Caesar salad. All drew raves. Entrees of Shrimp Tchefuncte (Shrimp with popcorn rice), a succulent perfectly prepared Filet Mignon and a masterful Andouille Crusted Baby Drum fish were all huge successes. We lingered over wine with friends and too sated to try the highly recommended White Chocolate Bread Pudding - a definite must for next visit. read more

Went here for the Bananas Foster, because of other reviews we had found, and were even more impressed than we expected. The Bananas Foster seem a little pricey at first ($11.00 each with a 2 order minimum per table), but well worth it! They bring out a small portable stove setup, and cook them at the table, as they tell you the history of how Bananas Foster got its start. Juan was fun, knowledgeable, and entertaining, and the desert he provided was delicious to say the least! Definitely worth the trip, and time to check out. read more

Why have I not eaten here before?! I have usual get a hotel in this area, I can see the Palace sign. Was I thinking too touristy? Too expensive? I should have checked yelp! I've not had many 1st time experiences at a restaurant where I'm blown away. This was a wonderful 1st experience at Palace Cafe from the moment we walked in until we left. This was our 1st night in New Orleans. I've been new NOLA several times before, this was my wife's first time. Since it was a long day of travel, we wanted something that was close. I had a couple places in mind, but I let my wife choose. Palace was close. As we walked in, we saw a picture of the Crabmeat Cheesecake. Looked awesome! Sounded horrible! Savory & sweet?! We were seated immediately since it was early in the evening before the dinner rush. The waitress brought the menus, told us about the specials, and said we should order the Crabmeat Cheesecake. She said we wouldn't be disappointed. The cheesecake was ordered, Salade Nicoise, and Andouille Crusted fish. We didn't order drinks, but the drink menu looks amazing! The cheesecake arrived 1st. Beautiful presentation. First bite, where has this been all my life! I've not had anything like it! The texture is similar to a cheesecake, but I think it's more like a quiche. Very light. The sauce is so flavorful and balanced. The sauce would be so good on so many things, think shrimp & grits! The salad and the fish were also amazing. Fresh, balanced flavor & textures, and good portion sizes. I would order either of these again! Expensive? For NOLA not too expensive. Food is fresh & portions are just right. Staff was helpful, professional, and friendly. Worth it? I will dine here every time I'm in NOLA. This is a New Orleans experience! That Crabmeat Cheesecake? I comment to the waitress about the dish especially the sauce. She returned with a post card that has the recipe! The recipe can also be found on the web of course. I made this for Christmas Eve 2023 and brought to our family gathering. I've been told that I will be bring this to all gatherings! *** Note - the recipe on the postcard & the recipe I found on the web calls for a POUND of butter for the sauce. This must be a mistake that was made when cutting the recipe down. I'm thinking it should be a STICK 1/4 pound of butter Cheers - Eric read more

I had high hopes for this place being that it is a brennans. I loved the interior especially the spiral staircase. We had a larger party (12) but the restaurant wasn't very busy at all for a Friday evening. Food was ok, service was horrendous. Our entire meal took almost 3 hours and not because we wanted it to.

This place was suggested by our driver, and it was within walking distance of the hotel so we decided to go for the weekend jazz brunch. Overall the ambiance is nice, and it's a very attractive and upscale feel. The jazz brunch may have been a stretch- while there was a trio that played at the winding stair and at a few tables for around just under hour, they never came back out. Had we gotten there a bit later we may not have heard it at all. The food was good and the wait staff very professional but I think we may have been happier with a less expensive option for what we ended up with. An omelet, bacon, eggs Benedict, one coffee and 3 champagne drinks was $100!! I give it 4 stars for service, presentation and ambiance but probably wouldn't go out of my way to do this one again. read more

Server was so apologetic for situations far out of his control and after all this- biggest insult: Manager never came to the table but had the server give us a free dessert ???
