Reviews for Pere Antoine Restaurant in New Orleans, LA
I wish I had known the restaurant to have real history in chargrilled oysters. I did not and would have loved the experience. I... had the blackened catfish meal which was very good. Strangely, my best food experience of my 3-day trip came as a take outcontainer of the Bananas Foster Beignet Fries. The real winner. The three star review could have been less. As one of thehottest days of the season, there was an influx of flies that was very disruptive to my eating experience. Read more
The food was good and I was so excited to get the corner table with the sliding doors. Portions were huge. The rest of the... family really enjoyed the Cajun sampler platter where they got a little bit of everything. Our server seemed a little spacey attimes and the card machine went down so we all of a sudden had to use cash, but otherwise it was good. Read more
What a great restaurant, Lena the server made this a great experience for a newcomer like me here in New Orleans. The food was... delicious and the place has a very chill vibe. Give it a try, I loved it. I am leaving with my stomach full and knowing a newword Lagniappe. I got the sample platter. Read more
Best Bloody Mary I've ever had. They hand mix here, no mixers. Try it, you will not be disappointed. Our server was a lovely... lady who wore gold ankh earrings, we had her tables every day we were there. The breakfast was delicious. I had the crabomelette. I will eat here every time I visit NOLA.

Went here for lunch today on 2/6/2022 with my husband. I was surprised that there weren't many people at around 1 PM on a... Sunday when Rock n'Roll Marathon was in town. The dining room is very pretty and we were seated next to a window where we couldhear a street performer playing a cornet. I specifically chose this place because I have Celiac disease and their menu actuallylists gluten free options! We ordered the marinated, grilled alligator with horseradish mustard ($17) as the gluten freeappitizer. It was surprisingly good and tasted much better than any fried gator that either I or my husband have ever had. Thetexture is like shrimp, if you could have a chunk of shrimp. I asked our waitress whether she'd suggest the gluten freejambalaya ($15) or the gluten free Creole ($17) - she suggested the mixed jambalaya (chicken, shrimp and sausage) so I got that.It was okay and came with sauteed vegetables that were meh. I noticed that the shrimp weren't deveined so if that grosses youout, steer clear of the shrimp. My husband got the chicken Creole and OMG it was so good. I wish I had ordered that! I keptdipping my sauteed vegetables in his Creole sauce. Chicken Creole was 10/10. Alligator 8/10 Jambalaya with sauteed vegetables5/10 I'd eat here again and order two chicken Creoles just for myself next time, it's just that good. Read more
My spouse and I went here based on the Gluten free reviews. We were blown away by the blackened catfish. Our server Jackie made... our stay feel comfortable and inviting. When we return, it will be in large part to visit with her once again Jackie wiselyrecommended the blackened catfish, which was so delicious we had to come back another night. It had a blackened crust which wasdecadently powerful, even while the interior was moist and dense. The veggies were well-steamed and seasoned to compliment thefish perfectly. They maintained a beautiful crunch throughout the meal. We will be back! Edit: We came back!! Jackie rememberedus, our drinks and our order! We asked to be seated in her section specifically :). This time we tried the gator and it wasamazing! Read more
The food was good! We had the sampler meal, gumbo duo, Caesar salad and a spicy pasta dish. They were all fresh and tasty! We... tried the alligator appetizer, it was pretty good! Just be brave and try it! And definitely get the beignet fries, bananasfoster style! To die for! Seriously, they were so good we got a to- go order the next day! I gave 4 stars instead of 5 becausethe service wasn't great, decent but a bit slow, and the kitchen staff was arguing so loudly we could hear it from our table. Iwouldn't let that stop you from going though! Read more
