Reviews for The Original French Market Restaurant and Bar in New Orleans, LA

Went here with my wife and had a very nice lunch. Our server was great. The food was very good. We started off with Fried... Green Tomatoes. I had never had them before, I loved them. They were excellent! My wife had the fried shrimp platter, and itwas good as well. I had the blackened catfish. The seasonings and flavor were terrific. I will be going back the next time weare in Nola. Read more

Ok this was some good catfish, shrimp, and French fries, my hush puppies were a little dry, but still had a good flavor. Very... good meal, my server was a little distracted, I asked twice for extra napkins. Usually when your server sees you when they walkby they think of what you have asked for and go get it?well not this time. I would dine here again though simply because thefood was good and I know service can always be better. (Or worst)????Cost a little over $30 with a soft drink including taxesand $1 because I paid with card. After my tip just under $40. Read more

Excellent, friendly service here! The shrimp and grits I had was definitely worth trying but I did try superior versions... elsewhere in New Orleans. One note is that you cannot split bills between party members, which is useful to know before you go!It?s also good to be prepared for very seafood-heavy flavors, which could be a positive or a negative depending on what youlike! My paradise island cocktail was very good :) Read more

Came here for my husband's birthday dinner with family, we waited a bit but not a crazy amount of time. The service was good,... the server did disappear towards the end for a bit and one of my drinks was not good but everything else was delicious! The foodwas super fresh and it had good amount of flavors. The place is spacious with plenty of seat and good AC! Read more

While this is a famous restaurant located a few steps away from Jackson Square we were very impressed from the moment we walked... in. Our food was absolutely to die for. As we are not big seafood fans we did not try the crawfish looked and smelled out ofthis world. I can confirm that their Jambalaya is one of the greatest tastes I have ever experienced. Staff were friendly andthere was a busy upbeat and electric atmosphere. My only reason for not giving 5 stars is that I felt the prices were slightlyhigh versus the portion size but in truth we probably should have just ordered more wonderful creole cuisine. Will definitelyreturn on our next trip to NOLA. Read more

Food was definitely delicious! The crawfish was but small, it will be nice if it was little bit bigger size. Must get the... oyster! From raw or cooked. Both of them is fresh. The swamp platter was good too. You get to try all different type of stew.From gator meat, shrimp, and sausage. Price was decent too. I definitely will recommended this place if you want to give a try. Read more

We just finished a long walking tour and was so hungry! I came upon this spot and am sure glad that I did! My 1st time trying... green fried tomatoes and baked oysters! Something I would Never try and let me tell you, Very Yummy! The Alligator po boy wassuper good and, of course, was a Must. The shrimp was perfect! Everything overall was great. Our 1st time to New Orleans and hada Blast. Hopefully, I will be able to visit again in the future. * Server was really nice, although once it started to getbusy, we had to wait a bit which is expected, but we were already finishing up, so that was a plus.

Great restaurant and loved the atmosphere. We stopped in and were seated outside on the balcony. Our waiter was Miles and we... enjoyed our visit. We ordered gumbo, catfish platter, char boiled oysters, the seafood platter, and 2 kids popcorn shrimp. Thefood came out hot and tasty. The serving sizes were huge. We will most definitely be back.
