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.

    One of the best dining experiences EVER! The food was absolutely delicious and the service was wonderful! There was not one single detail we would have changed. Our party had several fish/seafood entrees, a chicken entree, and a steak - all were superb! Cannot wait to return!

    Wonderful! Great menu, cocktails and wine selections. Great service from Mary. Food was served fresh and hot! And not overly salty. Everythung perfectly seasoned. The Pear Cosmo was great! Joseph Drouhin Chardonnay was also very good. Duck Springrolls were suoerb. Pork Ossobucco was fork tender anf flavorful. And I tried the messy- but must have for my 1st time- Bbq Shrimp. Huge prawn like shrimp in a great saye with garlic bread. At least 10 of them! So glad I had them. And enough to share. Just wasn't a fan of the Lemon ice box cake but thats ok. For an OG French Quarter restaurant - hust go. You won't be sorry.
