“ We were in New Orleans for a week and this was the BEST meal we had on vacation. The Chefs specials were so tempting, we wanted to order them all. The menu had so many options as well. It does get busy so I would recommend an earlier reservation versus a late one. Also, take an Uber, parking in the local neighborhood can be challenging. This is a must visit place!! When we go back, this will be the first place we eat. ”

“ Definitely my favorite meal of the trip! Ever since Sue Zemanick appeared on Top Chef, I have wanted to dine at Gautreaus however, considering she left back in 2016, its certainly taken me awhile to get here. Since a recent trip had us staying in the area, Gautreaus seemed to be the place to have our fine dining experience. Also, one of my regular customers, who occasionally dines here, spoke highly of Gautreaus, so that cinched it for me. The weather permitted us to enjoy a leisurely walk from the Alder Hotel, passing by St. Vincent Cemetery, Green Trees Early Childhood Village and lots of lovely houses along the way. Gautreaus is in a lovely, but somewhat unassuming building. We actually had to check the address to be sure we were in the right place. I wondered whether the formality of the place might make it seem stuffy, but although, our server, Patrick, was very professional, he also made us feel very comfortable. After being sure that the peppers wouldnt be to spicy, I ordered the Duck Confit with Caramelized Pears and Sherry Jus, chiriboga blue cheese, lentils, and piquillo peppers as my appetizer. Anytime there is duck confit on a menu, Im ordering it, and WOW, was this delicious! Highly, highly recommended. For entrees, I chose their fresh catch of Triple Tail because its always enjoyed when we have it where I serve. My friend ordered their Cracked Pepper Gnocchi with Brandied Creme Fraiche with morrels, green garbanzos, grilled spring onions and tomato confit. Both of us were exceedingly happy with our choices, my fish being cooked perfectly and her gnocchi being nicely tender. Im very happy that I finally made it to Gautreaus, and I know it wont be too long before I make plans to dine here again. ”

“ My husband and I travled to New Orleans for our 10 year anniversary. We found Gautreaus online from the New Orleans travel guide. We ate here on our first night in town. Arriving to the restaurant we werent sure we were in the right place because there is no signage. We were seating within 10 mins of arriving, right at our reservation time. The waitstaff was very friendly except for one older lady that didnt speak or smile. But she did keep my water glass filled. My husband ordered the snapper and I had the lamb ribs. Everything was delicious. As we were waiting on dessert, the owner came over to greet us and sat down with us. We had a lovely conversation with him and he recommended the chocolate dessert. We had the chocolate cake which was very decadent and the apple tart which was amazing as well. As we were preparing to pay the server told us our desserts were covered by the owner. I really enjoy my experience here. Very small and intimate setting. Perfect for an anniversary meal! ”

“ Didnt think this grande dame of uptown culinary excellence could get any better, but the menu under this new ownership is phenomenal. Plus the service was great wish I could remember the name of our waiter. Ive had a lot of trout in my time, and the trout dish they have is in my top three. Really all the fish options we got were great. Foie gras app was also delish. Make reservations early! ”

“ Extraordinary. A must visit restaurant, exquisite food and outstanding service ”

“ Great local restaurant, the slab of foie gras is outstanding. The pork chop was perfectly cooked. The service is attentive and extremely helpful. Camila took very good care of us! Cant wait to go back. ”

“ We had a wonderful experience. The dining room is a bit loud but it didnt hinder our evening. I see a lot of reviews saying this place is for boomers. Well Friday night at 8pm there were quite a few tables with 30 somethings there having a great time. My only negative was the gentleman walking around visiting tables, not sure if hes owner or manager, but he kept putting his hand on my shoulder while he was chatting with us at our table. Im from Nola so Im used to the warm friendlies but please dont touch me if you dont know me. Overall we had a great meal and lovely night. ”

“ Jeff and I love to dine at Gautreaus. It is an Uptown favorite of our since moving to New Orleans from Atlanta in 2008. The restaurant just keeps getting better and better. The staff is on top of things, the food is well prepared and plated, and the drinks delicious. We always feel part of the Gautreaus family. ”
