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.

    This was the best dining experience of our trip. I'm not sure you can go wrong anywhere on the menu. But we cannot stop talking about the Brussel Sprouts. Shrimp and Grits, greens, and the Pan Seared Gulf Fish were amazing. Not sure how we managed to also fit in dessert, but the Lemon Meringue Tart was a great finish. The drinks were also great. I really enjoyed the Blazin Watermelon Margarita.

    The dry aged bone in bluefin tuna was the best food I’ve ever eaten at any restaurant in all my travels across the globe. And it’s not the only thing that tasted amazing! This is a MUST for anyone coming to New Orleans!
