About
The original Brennan's, opened in 1946, recently emerged from an extensive renovation that spared no effort or expense by new co-owners Terry White and Ralph Brennan. Eight glamorous dining rooms, each steeped in New Orleans architecture and ambiance, celebrate the opulence of dining in a city where breakfast revelry is taken as seriously as a decadent dinner. Brennan's menus are rooted in Creole traditions and are bolstered with contemporary New Orleans influences. Marrying classic and modern techniques yields a decidedly innovative approach and enhances our local, seasonal offerings. Brennan's old-world elegance, fanciful decor and pampering service create a unique and sophisticated backdrop

Picked Brennan’s based on its reputation. Service was very good. I expected the food to taste better for an “upscale” establishment and it just didn’t. Extensive wine list! I would not go back.

The wine list is extensive, & our waiter offered assistance by their sommelier. Our dinners were delicious, especially my blackened redfish--perfect. A very classic New Orleans experience.

French Quarter
A small and teeming network of laissez-faire living
lounged out on the balmy banks of the Mighty

well-kept vintage dress. Throughout the rest of the
