A nice little reprieve from the busy hot streets. The cafe au lait macaron was good but it was very cold so the texture was a bit off and the flavor could have been stronger. I'm assuming they have to keep it cold due to the heat outside. Staff was helpful and patient. read more

NOLA can be hot and Sucre offers a cool gelato solution. Their gelato was creamy and Sucre allows you to add flavors in a standard scoop. There are some inside tables to sit down and enjoy the gelato before it melts. Service was efficient. I thought the coconut gelato was delicious especially when paired with the deep chocolate. read more

I was needing dessert after dinner and saw sucre was open so my husband and I stopped for macarons and I had a cupcake. My husband also got a latte, I forgot to photograph the latte. The macarons were fresh, not dried out. I was hoping for more flavors but the blackberry citrus was good. The strawberry was more vanilla tasting imo. The strawberry cupcake was a vanilla cupcake with strawberry buttercream. I love buttercream frosting on a vanilla cupcake. The place was cute. Open late till 11pm. Staff were friendly and welcoming. read more

The staff immediately greeted me--they were super helpful and friendly as a I pondered my decision. Their Instagram did feature a ton of photos of products and drinks they did not have in store. So I would say be aware of that and that it has multiple locations. I settled on an espresso, which was decent, and a little cake. I honestly can't remember the cake flavor - I think it was possible almond, but I didn't get much nutty flavor at all. The cake just tasted sugary. I got a hint of the pistachio halfway through. Overall, I didn't find the cake texture or flavor particularly delicate, interesting or memorable. Everything did look cute, though. read more

Very nice service and the woman working the counter was extra nice to offer up oat milk with my cold brew after not being able to get the butterfly tea that I was initially eyeing. There is a private restroom for customers which seems to be popular given the nearby Preservation Hall doesn't have any and is very close to the shop. Also there isn't as much seating as expected from the Google photos, maybe because the shop shrinked up but looks very different from the pics. read more

It's a bit hard to rate Sucre's king cake since it's admittedly the first one we've ever had, but damn is it delicious. The place itself has a small shop charm but offers lots of different sweets from macaroons, tarts, and gelato. We settled on the king cake as visiting Texans who have never tried it before. The cake itself was moist and sweet with the icing and cinnamon giving it a distinct flavor. It almost tastes like a cinnamon roll on steroids, in a good way. The baker manning the shop was very friendly and also shared how to insert the baby into the cake, which was very helpful as newcomers to the tradition. This place is delicious and we absolutely recommend it to locals and others like us who are looking to experience this Mardi Gras tradition for the first time. read more

Wow, two Sucre locations in the French Quarter and open until midnight! This is the place to be. It was our second day in New Orleans and we happened on this place as we were heading back to our hotel. Located in the heart of the French Quarter, it was a wonderful, late night surprise find. Especially since it's so hot and humid in NOLA -- this was a very welcomed addition to the current food scene. Totally enjoyed everything we ate. And the staff is very warm and friendly. read more

When Sucre first came on the scene it was all the rage. Despite all my visits to NOLA I never managed to make it in. Then there was some controversy, and the placed closed for a few years. It recently re-opened under new ownership, and there are a few locations around town. While wandering through the Quarter, I noticed this shop about 2 blocks from my house, which is dangerous. Now, I had no excuse to not check it out. This café is small. The one in the Garden District is bigger and has a bar, but you can get coffee beverages and gelato here too. The rows of delectable desserts were pretty and tempting - making it difficult to choose. The lady behind the counter was friendly and patient. I resisted the urge to order one of each and got the Confetti Cupcake. It did not disappoint. I could tell the buttercream frosting was made with real butter because it had a silky-smooth texture and melted in your mouth. It was light on the sweetness level. The cupcake was moist and tender. It was heavenly. I know I will be stopping in on a regular basis when I'm in town. read more

Service was okay. The person at counter said she does not like anything when I asked for recommendation. I ordered the cheesecake, and I noticed that I was served something was damaged. There was a crack. To think about it, she did not deserve my 20 percent tip. I was here the year before, and had the Pink Lady. It was okay. The cheesecake with white chocolate was better. This place is across the street from the Monteleone Hotel. The cheesecake, bottled water, a mint chocolate chip gelato, and a macaroon was $29 (tip not included). It is not a full service, but they still ask for tip when paying over the counter. I am only giving them 3 stars because their pastry is pretty good. They can do without the attitude. read more

I got their chocolate gelato, and I loved it. It was very creamy and not brain freezing cold! The flavor reminds me of triple chocolate, so if you LOVE chocolate, this flavor is definitely for you! A great thing about Sucre is that when I couldn't find my desired flavor, there was another Sucre a couple blocks down the street. So I felt like my choices were endless.

Prices are a bit on the higher side; it was $8 for two macarons. However, they also stay open pretty late, which is nice. read more

We had cheesecake on our mind recently. Mainly cheesecake as on our mind as it pairs really (I mean REALLY!) well with champagne. We stoped in with the initial intent to buy some macaroons. When we saw the cheesecake we were sold. We bought some champagne on the way back to hotel. The cheesecake and champagne combination did not disappoint. The presentation was spot on.

Second time in. Yesterday we were searching for a Gelateria and this was nearby. The gelato is satisfactory from the flavours we tried with the standout being the toasted almond. The macrons taste stale and lack a bit of flavour but taste commercial. The following morning I was in the mood for an Affogato and returned. I decided instead on a glacé with the toasted almond and this paired well together, which brings them up a star. Not a lot of seating inside but also it was never busy either or the times we visited. Friendly staff both in evening and morning. Their bathroom is out of order at the moment, or do it says. read more

Not sure if the young lady hadn't had her espresso yet or what, but she basically ignored us for a few minutes and then hardly said a few words. I tipped her pretty well, so hopefully that put a smile on her face. We all have a bad day, maybe she was having a bad morning? I know that business has been down due to the tragedy on January1st, but I'm here to help bring in the economy. I purchased the box and an additional macaron. They're absolutely delicious and worth the price. I ate on salted caramel which melted in my mouth. Felt like it was just made early in the morning. If anyone is complaining at the price, you pay for what you get. I tried them all, including ones straight from Paris. They're delicious. read more

They served their buttery rich croissants as part of their continental breakfast. (I'm not sure if they still do.) Now that I have a house in the Quarter, I take a morning stroll over here to pick up croissants to take home. The butter croissants are a bargain at $3.50. I also love the chocolate & almond (both are $3.95 each), as well as the crisp & flaky Palmiers & delicate Almond Florentines.

Food/Drink: I started out with their Lobster Risotto and it was fantastic. Creamy, hearty and BURSTING with flavor! I absolutely loved it and loved how it was a smaller portion as an appetizer. For my entree I with with the BBQ Shrimp and a side of their grilled asparagus. Delicious through and through. Portion, presentation, flavor and everything was just top-tier. No complaints. Value: This place won't break the bank, but it's not cheap eating either. It's a good date-night spot so be prepared to spend, but if you do it right, you won't blow your budget. In conclusion, I really enjoyed my time here at Brennan's! No complaints! Check this place out if you're in the area and it certainly lived up to it's reputation.

It's my favorite splurge in town, so when my birthday weekend rolled around, this is where I chose to spend it... with a vegan cheese wheel (the dates that come with should be eaten at the same time as the cheese and you'll feel like you're eating some caramelized magic. And when Mardi Gras Day rolled around a couple weeks later, as per my tradition, we had brunch here.

They were out of quite a few bottles, but there was still a wide selection. The service was very thoughtful, with the owner serving most of the tables herself. She was even kind enough to give us free glasses of Champagne while our bottle cooled. You will feel cared for here. The real standout though was the food. We had caviar topped deviled eggs, caviar serving, and a wheel of deliciously melted cheese. Everything was gorgeously presented and Instagram worthy. The deviled eggs were incredible. My sister said they were one of the best things she's eaten and she's not a fan of deviled eggs. The caviar was great (of course). The cheese was also excellent and included dates that were remarkably good. The ambiance is very cute. Simple and clean aesthetics that are refined but lightly adorned. This is my 7th time visiting NOLA, and Effervescence is now one of my favorite places in NOLA.

I had the R'evolution which was beautiful and delicious, and my husband had their classic sazerac.

The Not So Good: I was a little nervous when I ordered the oysters when the waiter had to confirm them had them in stock. Fortunately they came through and they were tasty. As we were in Louisiana I would have been really surprised that they had run out of such a staple! The Ugly: Being asked to wait in the bar until our table was free is never my favorite way to start my dining experience - especially when I've made a reservation well in advance and restaurants are short on grace periods. I presume they may have been short on staff and not a repeatable occurrence .

Restaurant August

For our fourth wedding anniversary, we chose the four-course menu and had a true five-star experience. From the amuse-bouche to the final case of sweet treats after dinner, every presentation and flavor was exceptional. Restaurant August excels at hospitality, and the dining room's warm tones create an inviting atmosphere, especially after sunset when the chandeliers and candlelight begin to glow. We also appreciated how thoughtfully the wines by the glass paired with the menu options. Honestly, we struggled to choose a favorite dish because every course was memorable and beautifully executed! Thank you, Restaurant August, for such a wonderful evening celebrating our anniversary. We will absolutely recommend this restaurant for years to come and hope to return again someday.

The setting is stunning. A beautiful open dining room inside a historic building. While we waited in the bar for our guests to arrive, it was clear this was a polished operation. The service team carried themselves with a level of sophistication you don't see everywhere. We chose the four course tasting menu, where each course offers three options. With four of us dining, we ordered every option and doubled up on one we thought deserved a larger portion. First Course Tuna Crudo Wagyu Beef Tartare Grilled Gulf Shrimp Second Course Gnocchi "Black and Blue" Crawfish Tartlet Diver Scallop Third Course Irodori Wagyu Manhattan Strip Snapper Pontchartrain Dry-Aged Duck Breast Fourth Course Tarte à la Bouille Hummingbird Cake After Dinner Mint Course after course, the food was outstanding. Creative, beautifully presented, and packed with flavor. The only item we would not order again was the After Dinner Mint dessert. It leaned a bit too heavily on the mint. The wine list is impressive. We ended up ordering three bottles over the course of the evening and enjoyed each one. One issue kept this from being a perfect experience. The third course, our entrée, took 46 minutes to arrive, compared to about 15 minutes between the earlier and later courses. There was no proactive communication from our server. I had to flag her down to ask, and was told it was on the way. That delay stretched our evening by close to 30 minutes, and there was no acknowledgment or effort to make up for it. If I'm scoring it, the food is a 5 out of 5 without question. The service, because of that lapse, was closer to a 3. I'll meet in the middle and give Restaurant August a 4 overall. Even with that hiccup, this was one of the best meals we've ever had in New Orleans.

Emeril was bursting onto the TV scene as a national phenomenon... and my first visit to Emeril's would be followed by many others over the years. New Orleans... Las Vegas... Orlando (many times). They were always terrific. Yet none were quite like my recent visit to the "new" Emeril's experience, featuring a rebuilt dining room, an elevated tasting menu only, and now directed by Emeril's uber-talented son, E.J. Lagasse. The room is beautiful, everyone's dressed to match the refined atmosphere, and when the reservation advised to "allow 3.5 hours for the full dining experience", they meant it! It's a six-course powerhouse dinner, and the listed dishes are just the start. Endless surprises come from all directions, with multiple servers bringing all sorts of delights from start to finish. Many pay homage to classic New Orleans dishes, such as a bite-sized barbecue shrimp tart, or a seafood almondine. As you dine, it's fascinating to watch the entire open kitchen right through clear floor-to-ceiling glass, with E.J. supervising it all at the pass, as he and his team prepare every morsel meticulously. Just a few of the dishes I enjoyed... The Smoked Salmon Cheesecake - Petrossian Kaluga Caviar, Dill Oyster Stew - Herbsaint Cream, Foie Gras, Hon-Shimeji Mushrooms Trout Almondine - Green Beans, Potato Red Snapper & Scallop - Kaluga Caviar, Smoked Chicken, Radicchio Boudin - Collard Greens, Hamhock, Creole Jus Gras White Sand Homestead Duck - Beets, Kumquat, Fennel SnoBall, Banana Cream Pie, Caramel As my meal came to a close, I was blown away when E.J. came out and we had a nice chat for five minutes or so. What a talented, funny and kind young man. And hats off to his remarkable team, led by Emilie Van Dyke - Chef de Cuisine; Riley McDonnell - Executive Sous Chef; and Charlie Jarrett - Sous Chef. Overall, I'd say perfect food, perfect wine-pairing, perfect service. Emeril's deserves their 2 Michelin stars. I cannot recommend it highly enough for a special occasion dinner.

We had not shared any meals together for over 48 hours prior to this dinner. Approximately 8 hours after eating, we were both violently ill and vomiting by around 1:30 a.m. I contacted management afterward to make them aware of what happened. The response I received was, "We're sorry you feel this way and we are starting an internal investigation." There was no apology or meaningful concern expressed during the call. The overall interaction felt defensive and dismissive from the beginning. As someone working in the industry, I was surprised by the lack of empathy and basic hospitality shown when we reported becoming seriously ill after dining there. This was the worst dining experience I have had, not only because of the illness afterward but also because of how the situation was handled.

The combination of perfectly smoked pork, savory ham, and melted Swiss cheese was incredible, but what truly set it apart was the banana pepper aioli paired with their signature cilantro-jalapeño pesto. The flavors were bold, balanced, and unforgettable. Served on fresh, crispy bolillo bread, every bite had the perfect combination of crunch, heat, and tender smoky goodness. The quality of the ingredients and attention to detail are obvious from the first bite. Cochon Butcher has earned its reputation, and after trying this sandwich, I completely understand why. Whether you're a local or just visiting New Orleans, this place deserves a spot at the top of your must-visit list. I'll definitely be back--and it will be hard to order anything other than that incredible Cubano. Say hi to Anthony, Zane Ciarra, their recommendations are on point! Cheers!

The stories about the line are true: it was mid morning on a Sunday, and there was definitely a line, but we put in for a table for three and were seated within 20 minutes. First up was a bloody mary, the canonical brunch beverage, and it was a winner. Dressed with some nice veggies in handled jar, it was delicious and refreshing. As for the food, I was torn between a couple of the benedicts, so I ended up combining and getting crab cake and andouille sausage, both on the same croissant. It was delicious if a bit much; I ended up taking half to go. The crab cake was substantial in size, with a good crab to cake ratio, and the sauce which was touted to be excellent, certainly was. This was a very tasty breakfast. The decor was very cute and bright, and our server had a great smile and proper NOLA accent, tending to all of our needs with aplomb.

Both were outstanding. The Bananas Foster French Toast was rich, indulgent, and packed with flavor without being overwhelmingly sweet. The bananas and sauce were the perfect complement to the French toast, making it feel like a New Orleans dessert and breakfast all in one. The Boudin Breakfast Biscuit was equally impressive. The biscuit was fresh and flaky, and the boudin added a delicious Cajun flavor that set it apart from a typical breakfast sausage. Every bite was savory, satisfying, and uniquely Louisiana. The food was excellent, the atmosphere was welcoming, and it's easy to see why Surrey's has such a loyal following. If you're visiting New Orleans and looking for a memorable breakfast, put this place on your list. We'll definitely be back the next time we're in town.
