This One New Orleans Restaurant Serves Up The Most Mouthwatering Louisiana Staples

One of the best parts of living New Orleans is the food. We are blessed to live in an area that has such a unique and iconic culinary history, and we get to enjoy it every day! Here's one of our favorite restaurants serving up some mouthwatering Louisiana cuisine you're sure to love.

If you’ve never been to Atchafalaya, you’re in for a real treat.

Sam Petrossi and his wife opened Petrossi’s Restaurant in 1924. Their sons continued to run the restaurant after Sam passed away, until they sold the restaurant in 1985.

The next owner changed the name to Cafe Atchafalaya, putting a new spin on traditional New Orleans dishes.

When Rachael Jaffe and Tony Tocco purchased the restaurant in 2008, they shorted the name to "Atchafalaya" and introduced live music and cocktails and became a popular hang out for locals.

This trendy restaurant is pulling out all the stops when it comes to their menu.

Pictured above is their black drum with gulf shrimp, oysters, jumbo lump crab meat, sweet corn, stewed okra and tomatoes. Yum!

You’ll find a balanced mix of classic New Orleans dishes and southern cuisine with unique spins that you’ll only find here at Atchafalaya.

There's something for everyone.

They're also a great option for brunch!

Just look at that shrimp and grits! Yes please.

Brunch is served Thursdays-Mondays, 10am-2:30pm.

No matter what you get, you're going to love it.

You can find Atchafalaya at 901 Louisiana Ave., New Orleans, Louisiana 70115.
