I went to Tujague's with my wife on our very first night in New Orleans.
I was excited to try a grasshopper cocktail at the place it was invented, and also to try their turtle soup because I've never had turtle before. Our server was Amaya and she was a perfect server.
Great personality, got everything right, and was always there when we needed her.
We ordered the following dishes: Starters: Mushroom gnocchi, turtle soup Entrees: Pan seared scallops, Pan seared duck Dessert: Bread pudding with banana rum sauce Cocktails: Whistle Pig Sazerac, Grasshopper Everything was fantastic! What we noticed consistently across the board was that the chef is a master at sauces.
The sauce over the gnocchi was so incredible I'm going to have dreams about it for months! Overall, we were so happy with the food and the ideal experience.
It was well worth the price and such a great introduction to New Orleans cuisine.
The cost for the meal was ~$100 per head. Pro Tip: Don't be afraid to burn through that bread and ask for more.
You'll need something to mop up the sauce after you finish each dish! The bread is actually very light and fluffy.

Delicious food and great service very close to the French quarter.
This place feels like a staple in the area, and I understand why it comes highly recommended.
Ordered the oysters Decatur, the braised pork shank and the pan seared duck.
Oysters are perfectly fried on top of a polenta cake which gives it great texture.
Loved the flavor of the duck and the pork shank, they really paired them with some southern tastes that adds to the dish without taking anything away.
This place will be a little on the more expensive side but it’s well worth it.
Also, don’t fill up on the bread! Even though it’s warm and comes with butter!

I went with 35 other people and we had one server.
This was not a problem.
She was not only pleasant but fast.
I would have thought we were going to be there all night, but I was wrong.
I was so impressed on how good the food was and how great she took care of us.
I would highly recommend this place!
