Neighbourhood gem
Good for special occasions
Charming

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.

Always excellent. Last night was best ever. Had the Grouper special, which was the best fish dish I ever had. The chef always matches proteins with veggies and a tasty sauces. Today's was perfect. Small cut of Grouper, but I prefer less protein and more veggies- so was perfect to my taste.

Enjoyed a fabulous brunch with my daughter. The duck hash and corn and crab bisque were delicious. The service was top notch. Our waiter, Perry, helped us navigate the menu’s many wonderful choices and kept our water glasses and coffee cups filled. Can’t wait to return!

This was our first time and this place is indicative of the charm of up town NOLA. A modest looking outside wifh a wonderfully quaint and hip interior. The service was perfect thanks to HD (our servers nickname) and the food was perfect along with the fun craft cocktails. A wonderful experience all around. We will be back.
