About this restaurant

  • Neighborhood gem
  • Charming
  • Good for special occasions
Come dine in this beautifully restored Uptown restaurant on Magazine Street and enjoy James Beard Award Winning Chef Justin Devillier's contemporary Louisiana Cuisine.

The La Petite Grocery name pays homage to the history of its home, a building that’s stood for more than a century. The original structure was built in the late 1800s and called the Central Tea, Coffee and Butter Depot. In 1908, a fire devastated the space and it was transformed into a full service grocery store. Later it was most notably a fine foods and butcher shop, VonderHaar’s Fine Foods until 1982. When La Petite Grocery opened in March of 2004, they similarly aspired to provide the neighborhood with exotic teas, locally roasted coffee, and fresh produce. By doing this, we hope to provide a dining experience that evokes nostalgia of old New Orleans. Reservations are preferred.

Why they're an Icon

Executive chef: Joseph Tiedmann

From the OpenTable editors: Head to this charming restaurant inside a historic building for exceptional New Orleans staples from James Beard Award-winning chef Justin Devillier. That means you'll find some of the best blue crab beignets in town and a rich turtle bolognese with a soft-boiled egg, both of which pair well with classic cocktails like an old fashioned. Brunch is a highlight here, too—an order of the creamy buttermilk biscuits and gravy is the perfect way to spend a Sunday afternoon.

                                                  This was a delicious dining experience. Recommend asking for the rear dining room - we were seated in the room with the bar which didn’t have the same upbeat vibe as the larger rear dining room. The waitress was a little cool at first but got better as time went on. Have been wanting to go to this restaurant and, overall, it was very good.

                                                  This is one of my favorite’s in the Garden District. I had the baked macaroni and Shrimp and Grits and they were delicious. The food and service is always consistent every time I go.

                                                  Sobrevalorado, comida corriente, vinos caros, servicio ineficaz pedimos u entrante y dosplatos. Traen a la vez entrante y un plato y después nos preguntan si queremos café sin traer el 2 plato y todavía tardan media hora en traer el plato cuando les dijimos que se habían olvidado. Ni una cortesía a cambio . Además cobraron mal el plato ya que pedimos especial del día y nos trajeron el de la carta. Todo un desastre nada recomendable.
