The Original Pierre Maspero's is a local Cajun restaurant in the historic French Quarter of New Orleans, LA. We're located inside of one of the oldest buildings in the French Quarter, built in 1788. We open at 8 a.m. every morning and serve a full breakfast menu with eggs Benedict, omelets, and more.

We also have a full bar that serves bloody marys, hurricanes, and other cocktails.

    Although the website says they accept reservations, you can make reservations online, and even receive confirmation via email, they don't actually TAKE reservations. So our Party of 9 was a shock to them. They did accommodate us, but the hostesses was frustrated and we waited longer then anticipated. Someone in our party was double charged for their bar tab. The server was a gem and was wonderful. The food.. mediocre. You can tell they serve pre-made or frozen food that was heated up instead of food made fresh by an actual cook. Stay away from this franchise debacle and go to a truly authentic NOLA restaurant.

    Spinach and Artichoke dip was excellent! Crab cakes were wonderful and spicy. Chicken Alfredo very cheesy with Alfredo! Strawberry Lemonade drink was very good with fresh strawberries.

    Made this reservation on open table and called the morning of to confirm. Person we spoke with told us it was no issue if we were a little late. She would have a table for us. Got to the restaurant and there was an extremely long line outside the building. Ask some people standing in line if they had reservations - they said no. Told the host about our “reservation” and he said to go to the back of the line and wait. So we left as we did not have time to wait an hour+ to be seated. In summary, this restaurant should not be listed on Open Table since they clearly do not hold or use a reservation system.

    Loved the combination plate—little of New Orleans in every bite of jambalaya, gumbo, red beans and rice.

    They do not honor Open Table reservations, so we were unable to eat there.

    The food was GREAT! Service was not so great! Our waitress took our order and never once returned to our table during the meal. We had to ask several times for the check and we certainly received no refills on our drinks. Thankfully the food was worth it! We ordered the New Orleans Sampler (gumbo, red beans & rice, crawfish étouffée and jambalaya) and a Muffuletta - all were absolutely delicious!

    Mary our server was superb! We ordered Chicken and waffles and it was really the most delicious chicken and waffles we've eaten! Chicken was crisp on the outside, great batter, meat and the waffles so perfect! The honey Tabasco sauce really complemented the dish.

    Excellent service. The red gosh was fabulous. Sat by the window and had fresh air on a beautiful night. Margaritas were very good.
