The Original Pierre Maspero's

When you walk in, it feels like a rustic tavern where everyone already knows your name, and the staff was as friendly as if that were the truth. The entire wall of one side of the restaurant is a mirror, so it is smaller than it appears, but they were able to accommodate our party of seven without issues or delay. The food was delightful, many options for larger parties looking to accommodate many different tastes, including authentic dishes. Highly recommend the meat pies, definitely a highlight.

My husband and I strolled in here at 8pm randomly for our anniversary dinner. We spent a week in New Orleans and this was our favorite restaurant. Our server was friendly and he recommended the Alfredo pasta but with blackened redfish. Oh my sweet baby Jesus.. it’s been a week and I’m still thinking about how delicious it was. I think the Alfredo sauce was homemade; it didn’t have that jar taste. 10/10 would recommend. My husband had chicken Alfredo and it was gone in minutes.

We go to New Orleans quite often, but this was our first time here. A local resident recommended this restaurant. We ended up liking this restaurant so much that we ate there for dinner and brunch the next day. The seafood pot pie with fried crawfish on top was incredible. The staff was very knowledgeable, and you can tell that they enjoy working there. We will definitely be back.

Finding this restaurant was the best part of our trip! The service is excellent, and the food, superb. The atmosphere comes from a place that only being there since 1788 can provide. Everything about it is amazing. It's small, on a corner, but proves big things come in small packages. I had 'googled' best French onion soup in New Orleans, and this was the number one restaurant that popped up. It did not disappoint!

...I am still 'in my feelings' over the DELICIOUSNESS that was served at Pierres...the restaurant is located near the Omni Royal and across the street from the Napolean House...I say all of this because it is easy to miss it!! The inside of the restaurant is beautiful, soft sounds of NOLA jazz in the background combined with an exceptional/attentive/great attention to detail -staff. The food was INSANELY GOOD, we had alligator that tasted so fresh, its family was probably looking for him! The biscuit was a marvel of buttery, garlic layers...it tasted like a savory pound cake with a little crunch, added to it was an ettoufee gravy that could launch a thousand ships....sigh... JUST GO ALREADY

Original Pierre Maspero's was superb. The crab cakes were loaded with crab meat and not a lot of fillers. The meat was fresh and delicious. The sauted spinach and mushrooms were done to perfection, the tomatoes fresh and the tangy sauce just about had me licking the plate. The grits were the fluffiest I’ve ever tasted. This place is small but packed with character and charm. Feels like soemthing out of the movie. The service was great. Servers were attentive and the food came out fast. This place is not to be missed if you’re in New Orleans.

We have eaten at the Original Pierre Maspero’s restaurant many times over the years. The food is good, especially considering the reasonable price. The atmosphere is also nice with pleasing views of Chartres and Saint Louis Streets. I think the service is the best thing. Always pleasant and friendly. I especially like their breakfast.
