The burlesque “Legs & Eggs” brunch is worth sticking around for! We enjoyed an amazing three courses, the staff were incredible, and it was absolute New Orleans perfection.

Get the 1 but cocktails!!! You can have up to 3 with the purchase if an entree and they are only 25 cents each!!! Also, the gin martini is strong and worth more than your 25 cents.

The newest restaurant from the Brennan Family opened in 2012 on Royal Street or just “South of Bourbon.” As part of the W French Quarter Hotel, the design of SoBou exudes youthful sophistication. Read more

Any dessert is fantastic, but I was blown away by the texture, flavor and creativity of the bread pudding. I also had a drink with jasmine tea that was fresh and delicious. I don't even drink liquor

Pork Belly Steam Bun- delicious!! The chef's gumbo was chicken and mushroom- their gumbo is served over mashed potatoes instead of rice- it was really good and reminded me of a chicken stew.

Moreso a 'Tapas Bar' with a wide array of "small bites" on the menu AND excellent service! My husband had the Fois Gras burger--- a spectacular presentation and oh-so-yummy!

Apparently the menu changes constantly. Personally loved the beignets & purple beet salad. Both appetizers but we’re enough for dinner for 1

We had the frittata (takes 20 min to prepare but so worth the wait!), the breakfast sandwich and the oatmeal. All fantastic. Topped off with a world class biscuit.

The Yellowfish Tuna Cones are superb, the Sweet Potato Beignets are also great, as well as the Gumbo they had that day :)
Laura WongJanuary 27, 2015
Fun cocktail menu. Delicious jumbo. Definitely get the tuna cones ceviche and side of fries, avocado aioli is to die for!!!
Clare HoffmanNovember 25, 2012
My favorite dishes were the Cracklin and the duck beignets. Tried about 5 plates and everything was excellently prepared. Try a "manmosa" too as well as the cheese plate! Mmmm will be returning!

Everything is delicious yet interesting, Yellow Tuna Cones (Pineapple ceviche & basil avocado ice cream ) will brighten your eyes!

This is easily my favorite place to get a cocktail. Ruby is awesome. Great recommendations and all the food is elevated gastopub deliciousness. Highly recommend the gator corn dog.
VivianaJanuary 28, 2013
Great place! Came with the family and (may have over indulged in the self serve wine station) try the tuna cones and veal burger! Ask for Alex, great waitress and very attentive!
Matthew GordonJuly 15, 2015
The burger is delicious. The foie gras float is interesting, though subtle as far as foie gras goes. Skip dessert.
Tara R.May 21, 2014
Mmm the duck beignets really were amazing, and the bartender was extremely friendly with us (she was a fellow Canadian) and her signature cocktail w. maple syrup was delightful.

Make sure Meghan doesn't double charge you for drinks 😒 Other than that, great place with an awesome atmosphere!
Sam BrooksApril 2, 2013
The apple and pear salad with candied pecans and Camembert is nothing short of spectacular! Really. Portion sizes are normal not oversize and the cocktail were exquisite. Coming back here for sure!

Sit at the bar and have Ms. Abigail make you something delicious. Can't go wrong with any of their gumbos which rotate on their menu.
Gloria ChinFebruary 21, 2013
from the owners of commander's palace & cafe adelaide but slightly cheaper. great brunch and breakfast menus! try the tuna cones and duck debris and butternut beignets.
Lori LorenzoApril 11, 2015
Ask Abigail to make a drink ... You only have to tell her what you normally drink and her creativity does the rest. Perfectly delicious every time!
Chris WoodJuly 11, 2016
Awesome bar, awesome atmosphere. Good drinks, but definitely worth the stop for the cool bar, and awesome dining room mirrors.
J. Anthony MiguezAugust 11, 2015
Great spot for cocktails and they have free wifi and free valet at lunch. Sanity in the French Quarter
Courtney R.January 27, 2015
Start with the sweet potato & foie gras beignets...then the yellow tuna cones with avocado ice cream. 25 cent martinis too!
John SteidleJuly 2, 2018
Amazing service at the bar and great cocktails. Pop by in the early afternoon so it’s not crowded.
Maggie MacGSeptember 27, 2023
This is the cutest place to get a drink and watch people walking by on the street. Good happy hour specials.
Lauren FernandesJanuary 19, 2014
The tuna cones were amazing! And the fois beignet and tuna escabeche were a close second. Great vibe and delicious food!
Brandi BruceAugust 21, 2017
Enjoyed the drink. Happy hour is a great deal for a small bite
Ares Riggins JrJuly 16, 2022
Overall good food experience. Steak was amazing, the vegetarian option not so much. Expensive but that is because of location, recommend setting reservations.
Natalie BurnsJune 14, 2018
Impressive cocktail menu with unique flavours and very well balanced.

SoBou burger is the best I've had in town...better than Company Burger! (And I love Company Burger)
Alex NikitinMay 27, 2016
Foie Gras Burger was pretty good. Bananas foster on the half shell is must have.

Lovely atmosphere, friendly staff, one of the better places in NOLA. Just get a seat at the bar and enjoy
Kristi JacobsJanuary 12, 2013
We also got "spanked" by the hostess for not having reservations. Get the cracklings and oyster tacos. Skip the blue crab salad and french fries.
Eric DNovember 1, 2014
The foie burger is a ludicrous and delicious dish. The shrimp pintxo with the grilled pineapple: win.
LeeAnn TalaricoNovember 8, 2014
Inventive food, excellent cocktails, modern vibe, and excellent staff.
Kira FisherDecember 28, 2013

Lance LacoffMay 10, 2016
Grab a spot at or near the bar and enjoy some cocktails in a nice environment. The Sazerac was pretty good.

Shishito peppers and Sazerac for appetizer. Mm mm mm. You cannot go wrong.

Creative kitchen, cool place. However big bites are really small, and there was a cheat on the tip.
Joe MartinezDecember 27, 2012
Fantastic meal! Great drinks! Veal sandwich, divine! Fried chicken even more divine! Sublime actually.
Marg1eOctober 28, 2014
Sweet Potato beignets is one of the popular item.
