    Mississippi blueberry pie, peach angel cake

    Great dinner spot! First time here with friends and really enjoyed it. Unique and flavorful spins on Italian dishes! Service was excellent. Standouts were the squid ink pasta and mushroom pizza. Of course had to save room for dessert and we really enjoyed both dishes! Love the vibe in here, loft-like space that feels like NYC. Looking forward to next visit

    Paladar 511 continues to live up to the hype, and the pappardelle is a standout dish that keeps me coming back. The pasta was perfectly cooked! Every bite felt intentional and balanced. I love the atmosphere. It's warm, intimate and cozy. Perfect for a date night! If you're dining at Paladar 511 and love pasta, the pappardelle is a must-order.

    Yum! We we're lucky enough to get a few spots at the bar without having a reservation. These spots come with dinner and a show. The show is that the kitchen is right there and you watch them making every delicious thing you're about to eat. I was with two friends and we shared five appetizers and a dessert. This was a perfect strategy. We had the squid ink pasta, which was with shrimp and phenomenal. For veggies, we have the local lettuce salad, carmelized radishes, and the carrots, which had these candied hazelnuts that I'm still dreaming about. The arancini has short rib and cheese in it, a giant ball of delight. And we had the brownie for dessert that had incredible coconut crunch ice cream with toffee chips. The cocktails and the wine were enjoyable as well. Shout out to Otto for taking great care of us!

    Service was great and the food was delicious. I tried a couple of their signature cocktails and enjoyed them both. I liked the Bad Mr Jive more than the Swarm and Sting. The pasta was perfectly cooked and everything had exceptional flavor.

    Though I've had the opportunity to visit Paladar 511 many times for dinner (excellent!)... I finally had the chance to attend brunch for my birthday :) The food at brunch definitely didn't disappoint. The service was good as always & the ambiance is always such a vibe. Love the open kitchen concept, the windows, the art & books-- it's very cozy in there! I'd definitely be back for brunch. Every entrée was honestly good (had a try of them all!)

    Get the squid ink spaghetti, get the squid ink spaghetti, get the squid ink spaghetti...and the pizza! Dispute a rocky start, everything...and I mean everything we experienced here was worth every penny! We arrived after walking in the pouring rain (it was just a few blocks we said...it'll be easy we said *eye rolls*) to be met with a few strange passing glances, and an usher to get us seated quickly. Once seated, our waiter was fabulous. They truly knew the menu, and their knowledge alone helped us understand how we could craft the perfect birthday experience for my mother. I ended up with a Ponchatoula Plane, the seasonal watermelon starter, the squid ink pasta, and a chocolate cake. My mother indulged in the same, but opted for pizza instead of pasta. Described as the best thing on the menu by our waiter, I highly encourage trying the squid ink pasta as an entree (as opposed to a starter). Trust me, you won't want to share. Additionally, it's been a month, and my mother still references their chocolate cake. They frost the cake when warm, so although it doesn't look like much, it's a decadent take on a traditional treat. Whatever you choose, it's hard to go wrong here. It's certainly a stop I'll be adding to my permanent NOLA rotation!

    Oh I just love this place so much. Coming here after a wine tasting at Grand Krewe next door is my favorite. Their pasta is so delicious but honestly everything is. Their pizzas are great for a sharing app with the table. I kinda want to order the arrincini every single time. Last time we had slow service which was unusual. The ambiance is really nice too!

    A plus Sunday brunch. A plus service. A plus atmosphere, only downside being a cacophony of diner voices off the hardwood ceiling creates a din of noise which, if you're 40 or younger, is not a problem for conversation. I'm 62 and I could still hear my friend so it's not overwhelming. And we were upstairs so it was likely louder up there. Acoustic baffles would eliminate this problem. The standout feature here is that the sinks are outside the restrooms. That peer pressure (talking men, here) has to promote handwashing and more thorough handwashing among staff and diners better than a sign that says "all staff must wash hands when leaving restroom."

    We celebrated my birthday and our anniversary here and were very happy with our experience. There was a good wine list and fun cocktails available. We LOVED the squid ink spaghetti and shared it for our starter. We also shared a pizza and pappardelle and loved both. We sat upstairs and had a great time viewing the drinks and food being made and seeing what other parties were ordering. The service was great and we would definitely go back!

    A Standout Dining Experience for True Food Lovers Paladar 511 is food for foodies--each dish is expertly prepared, bursting with flavor, and beautifully balanced. With so many great restaurants in New Orleans, it's saying something that Paladar 511 consistently stands out on every trip. This visit, we started with the squid ink spaghetti--a must-order dish. For my entrée, I had the Pork Saltimbocca, which was rich and deeply flavorful thanks to the Marsala jus and creamy polenta, perfectly balanced by the brightness of the capers. It was incredibly crispy and simply outstanding. My wife had the crispy skin chicken, which I didn't try, but she couldn't stop raving about it! From the attentive service and inviting atmosphere to the craft cocktails and unforgettable food, everything here is top notch. You won't be disappointed--Paladar 511 is a true gem.

    The restaurant interior feels like vacation. Gorgeous brick walls and beautiful wood, high ceilings and tasteful lighting and colors. The ambiance is excellent and the wait staff attentive and helpful. The cocktails are refreshing and beautiful The ensalada tre colorí has potential, but must have been low on the anchovi as flavor was mellow The Hamachi crudo was phenomenal. So fresh, cut perfectly and the sauce... just wow Pappardelle had potential if only the seemingly house made noodles had been drained properly The seared snapper seemed deep fried. The sauce was good. The peach angel food cake was fresh and delicious. The mascarpone ice cream was 5/5

    Squid Ink Spaghetti
    Bethany C.

    I've been here twice and it's been good to great! The spaghetti was a 13/10. I dream about this spaghetti. The lamb pizza is out of this world good and the char on the crust is to die for, not pictured because we inhaled it. The squash pasta was good. I was not a highlight, but it was good. The dessert was the star the cinnamon ice cream is like nothing I've ever tried. I'd come back again and again for the pizza, spaghetti, and the dessert!

    Mushroom pizza, Squash, Squid Ink Spaghetti
    Jordyn N.

    Oh the food here was really great, the squash is an incredible dish and the crispy chickpeas add so much to it. The squid ink pasta does NOT stain your tongue and was delicious. The mushroom pizza was pretty good too, but not the standout. Only complaint is that I was the portions were bigger, if you're going to share meals then be prepared to only have a bite or two of each thing.

    Ask the Community - Paladar 511

    Do they allow walk-ins for parties of two or do they always require a reservation?

    I haven't tried it, but I can't imagine they wouldn't accept 2 people walking in if there was space.

    What to wear?

    Hoodies and sweats to ball gowns and feathers. This super trendy eclectic surrounding screams “be yourself and enjoy our great food!”

    Are there many vegetarian options?

    Yes

The executive chef is definitely cooking very very well!!! We loved the Blue Crab Ragoon App as well as the Crab Cakes. There was nothing left on the plates. For entrées we had Banana Foster Pain Perdu, Side of Duck Bacon, Hashbrown, 100% Seafood Gumbo and Fried Catfish. Everything was seasoned to perfection and hot!!! Last but definitely not least are the Cocktails which were very good. Try the Cold Brew Martini if you like iced coffee type drinks and also try the Strawberry Lemon drop for a sweet treat. Both taste great and have a nice amount of spirits in them. This is a must try in NOLA. Will definitely return!!

We checked into our nearby hotel a bit early in the day and was looking to hit the streets for a spot to get a chill/light breakfast, a coffee and maybe a cocktail. We found all the things at Luzianne Cafe. Whether you belly up to the bar or grab a table, both of which are first come first serve, you start at the counter where you order, pay and grab your table number. It appears that during busy times they allow you to sit first and order from the QR at your table, this is an assumption given the code to order at the table, but the sign at the entry directed folks to the counter to order before sitting. For breakfast, we got the breakfast biscuit which came with eggs, bacon and cheese, and sided it with grits. The breakfast sandwich was solid, eggs were a bit soft and grits were more mealy than we are used to, but I think that may be authenticity of the area more than anything. I opted for the three option omelet with onion, sausage and gouda plus a side of sausage links. The omelet, though odd sounding combination turned out to be solid. Maybe it was my options, but it was decently "one note" in flavor. I tossed a little hot sauce on and that helped. However, while the sausage links were not much to look at, they were tasty, with a nice snap to the casing and meaty inside. To go with our breakfast, I got a cold brew with a splash of almond milk while my partner embraced NOLA and started his day with a bourbon sour. Both of us enjoyed our choices! Service was friendly and helpful at the counter/bar. The food runner was nice and then another member, assuming the Manager, that stopped by to check on us mid meal. She was super friendly and nice.
