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.

                                        Good food but not worth coming back. Starting with the host and followed by the server, this restaurant is lacking good service. Both people seemed unhappy. We felt unwelcomed and rushed to leave. The server even brought the check without us asking her for it. This is an absolute no no for us.

                                        The food was amazing! We had the deviled egg and artichoke oyster chowder for starters. The crab cakes eggs Benedict was savory. However, the red beans and rice stole the show. Waitstaff was attentive and helpful!
