Why they're an Icon

Executive chef: Ryan Hacker

From the OpenTable editors: The place to be seen sipping bubbles at Benedict brunch, Brennan’s is one of the most stunning restaurants in New Orleans—long before the era of Instagram. Think black-and-white tile floors, a pastel pink exterior, and minty fresh leather booths, with character dating back to 1946. Bananas foster was invented here, and suited servers still fire it up tableside. The accolades keep rolling in: It's a James Beard semifinalist, Condé Nast Traveler world favorite, and Wine Spectator darling.

    Outstanding service and food. We came for our anniversary and will definitely come back or try another restaurant in the Brennan’s Restaurant Group. The Bananas Foster is a delicious and unique table side experience!

    Had two meals there. Very good. I liked brunch better than dinner, but both very well done. Service a dinner was a little disjointed but I think it was because it was busy. Our server was so nice and helpful that we requested her for brunch on Sunday. One of our party had a birthday on the brunch day. They made her feel special and had a great birthday treat. Class place and NO staple.

    Alexis was a great server and everyone was very attentive.The drinks and food were delicious. As locals, we chose Brennan’s to celebrate my husbands birthday to make it special for us and our out of town guests. They brought the cotton candy for his birthday before we are had our main meal - nice touch but probably should’ve come at dessert time. My open table requests asked for a perimeter table which we didn’t get so I was a little disappointed.
