Reviews for Cochon Restaurant in New Orleans, LA

Our group was visiting New Orleans from out of town and hadn't planned far enough in advance to get reservations at Cochon. But... we easily found seats at the bar, which was the best spot! We had a great time interacting with the bartenders, Mikey, Aaron,and Jason, and appreciated their suggestions. We ordered the half pig head, which was a memorable experience and one of themost delicious culinary adventures we've ever had! We had a bunch of meat leftover and they went above and beyond to wrap it upfor us to take the pig head home! Those bartenders are a huge asset to this place. We had a great meal, but an especiallygreat experience. It will have been one of our best memories of our weekend in New Orleans. In our group we had a person whois eating keto and another person who eats gluten-free and Cochon is a great fit for both of those diets. Read more

One of the first places we tried during our visit to New Orleans, and it raised the bar for all places to follow. We started... with the Wood Fired oysters with chili and garlic butter--Amazing!! They are now officially my favorite dish. We were servedhot rolls with a delicious salted butter on the side. We had cucumber salad and pan fried catfish, all excellent flavor.Thoroughly enjoyed our meal there and have been dreaming of returning ever since. Read more

We had a reservation for a group of ten people on a Saturday night. The restaurant is deceptively large and has a back room for... bigger parties. Everyone had elbow room and the tables were far enough apart that no one was hitting the back of their chairswith the next table over. The food was AMAZING! We had 5 out 9 of the appetizers, we had the red fish, the rabbit and dumplings,we had some great wine, and we had all of the deserts. Great service too Read more

I would have given it 2 stars because the waiter was nice. But really, as someone who LOVES FOOD- this is not it. If you’re... looking for flavor, for variety, this is not the place you want to be. The chicken in the gumbo was good by itself. Thealligator bites were okay. The drinks were not my cup to tea. Granted I’m only giving it one star based off of my opinion. Itwas an elegant place. But for the price you pay, I feel like there should be more flavor and just better food. Extremelydisappointed. Read more

We were lucky to be able to make a reservation the day before since we have been told how popular this place is. Great service,... I was celebrating a special occasion with my husband and they offered us 2 complimentary welcome drinks without even asking.Food is OK, would definitely recommend the oysters. Read more

An amazing restaurant a little off the main NOLA tourist traps (still a bit pricey though). Great atmosphere, service, drinks... (including nice beer selection) and absolutely fabulous food. I had the best gumbo of my life and fantastic gator bites. Therabbit with dumplings was also great, just a little killed with too much of black pepper. Now it breaks my heart to remove theone star, but the three tiny slices of the head cheese for 14 bucks were just ridiculous. Make it an appetizer for half priceand still add at least one slice..

This is a great place. Great environment great back ground music. The staff is amazing. Every worker came by to make sure we... were good. So for the food AMAZING!!!. The fish was good and the bacon and pork pie was a great tasty app. Now for the meal thatpork sholder from the first bite your mouth feels like it won the lottery. This is just a great night at this place. Read more
