Brigtsen's Restaurant - New Orleans - Photo album
My wife and I are in town for her birthday and we wanted to try somewhere new that we’ve not been to and found Brigtsen’s off of Eater. I see why it made their “Top of NOLA” list! We were met with the sweetest hostess and then the chef came out and greeted us. When they discovered it was my wife’s b
12-13 years ago, a coworker who's lived here since the early 90s recommended Brigtsens as one of his two favorite restaurants in the city. I can't believe I waited all this time to go.
Everything was phenomenal, my wife got the duck which was crispy and delicious, I got the seafood platter and ever
This is my first time to New Orleans and this was the first restaurant I ate at. I’ve now been to 4 other dinner spots and the food here has left a wonderful mark on my heart. My husband and I started with the catfish appetizer and ohhh mmyyy goodness was it GOOD! Heaven on a plate for sure! The ta
If you ever make it to New Orleans that’s the place to try the best food in town. Came recommend enough.
Amanda helped us so much on choosing and she has an amazing vibe. The place too as it’s located in a home.
Back to the food, everything we tried was excellent. The soup, the bbq shrimps the fishe
The very best restaurant in New Orleans! Honestly this hidden gem is so worth searching for! The staff is welcoming and attentive, the atmosphere is relaxed and inviting. The food is absolutely perfect! Amazing steak, fabulous fish, desserts not to be missed! Go!! You will be amazed at what this pla
Absolutely lovely experience. The fact that the place is essentially a house was adorable. Great vibes, excellent service by all. Felt very welcome as soon as I stepped in. Food was also great, the shrimp and butternut squash soup was fantastic. The pork chop was cooked perfectly, the grits were a l
The chef here is one of the old guard Creole masters. We had an excellent meal here. Highlights were the seafood platter—the jalapeño cornbread was better than it had any right to be!—, the pecan meunière, and the bbq shrimp (maybe just a bit heavy on the Worcestershire, but I would definitely get i
Chose Brigtsen’s to celebrate a birthday and what a wonderful experience!
The service was engaging, funny and attentive.
The food - was elegant, and delightfully comforting. The appetizers (shrimp bisque and catfish) provided a glimpse of what yumminess would come.
The main course, pork chop nest
I was visiting with a student in New Orleans who has quite a culinary background. When I told him I wanted to visit a place where most tourists wouldn’t go and offered local cuisine, he mentioned Brigsten’s without hesitation. So we went there for dinner and I could not have had a more enjoyable e
This place is happily caught in a moment in time - and that's a good thing, when what they've been for this long is this special, there's no need to make momentous changes.
Seemed like the place was full of regulars on our Tue night visit, and it was easy to see why. The cooking is done with soul,
Don't go here as the first stop if you're a tourist, makes other places look worse

Brightsen's is one of my favorite places to go, and it's a crime that we don't get to go more often. Perfect for almost any occasion, super accommodating and friendly, and most importantly excellent meals. I've never had a morsel there that I didn't enjoy, or service that wasn't excellent.
Bridgsten has been owned and operated by the same family for almost 40 years. Patrons are treated to service with southern charm in a centuries old farmhouse, itself steeped in New Orleans history. Frank is in the kitchen, wife Marna runs the dining room, and your server will shepherd you through th
Our best meal in New Orleans. My husband was bowled over by the bbq shrimp and I was delighted with my fish menieure. Will be in New Orleans again in December and Brigtsen’s is top on our list for a return visit. I was so happy to be able to meet the chef/ owner, Frank.
This restaurant was recommended by Chef Randy while at a tour of Nichols College. I am glad we went! The flavors were out of this world. It is a rare opportunity for everything on a plate to taste amazing, but Brigtsen's accomplished this feat. Service is exceptional and the atmosphere is calming. T
Immediately became one of my favorite restaurants. I had the pork chop with pork debris. It was awesome. I was sad as I was taking the last bite. Luckily my goddaughter couldn't finish her pork ossobuco so I had a nice portion of that. It was also amazing. 2 others with us had 2 different fish plate
Always a great choice...my husband's go to for his birthday dinner.
Staff is wonderful...friendly, funny knowledgeable
Food is amazing....always, without exception.
For starters I had the mushroom bisque (unbelievably good! I practically liked the cup clean & definitely regretted not getting the bow
Food and service was fantastic. We ordered the butternut shrimp bisque, shrimp remoulade, snapper, pork chop, pecan pie, and bread pudding. It was all good; the bisque and snapper were particularly exceptional. Pecan pie was the best I ever had. The restaurant itself doesn't seat that many people an
