Commander's Palace
A legendary Creole restaurant in the Garden District established in 1893, renowned for its Jazz Brunch and turtle soup.
Operated by the Brennan family, this restaurant has been located in the Garden District since 1893 and stands as an icon of classic New Orleans fine dining. Signature dishes include the turtle soup (finished tableside with aged sherry), pecan-crusted fish, and Creole bread pudding soufflé, which must be ordered about 20 minutes in advance. A Jazz Brunch is offered on weekends, featuring an appetizer, main course, and dessert. Reservations must be made several weeks in advance.
