  • Neighborhood gem
  • Charming
  • Good for special occasions
Atchafalaya is a true New Orleans neighborhood eatery where the eclectic yet elegant atmosphere is only outshone by the attentive service and delicious local fare. Nestled under the oaks on the edges of the Irish Channel, Magazine Street, and historic Garden districts, this hidden gem is one the best contemporary Creole dining experiences that one can find in the city. Neighbors, locals, and out of towners alike will become regulars after experiencing the brand of hospitality offered by New Orleans’ only five “A” restaurant. If having standards such as a gumbo du jour, blue crab raviolo, or shrimp & grits, a nightly seafood special, or a filet paired with a selection from the world class wine program you will not be disappointed. The introductions of brunch, live music, cocktails, and now an extensive happy hour continue the newest culinary chapter for a storied local haunt, embracing New Orleans’ culinary culture while placing contemporary spin on traditional New Orleans cuisine.

    We were seated promptly upon arrival. The service was friendly and impeccable. Unlike some places we didn’t feel rushed when placing our order. The banana foster waffle was too die for and definitely large enough to share.the special quiche of yhe day was cooked perfectly, not too heavy and not to light. My hubby got a duck hash which he enjoyed and my daughter liked her shrimp and grits. The mixed dried nos were delicious. No negatives at all.he
