Enjoy A Deliciously Perfect Southern-Creole Brunch At Atchafalaya In New Orleans

Whether you're celebrating something special or just looking for something to pair your Bloody Mary with, brunch is always a good idea. There are plenty of incredible brunch spots in the city, but few compare to this one timeless eatery where you'll find a menu full of incredible brunch dishes. They also have some popular Bloody Marys, too! Let's check it out:

You’ll find Atchafalaya Restaurant tucked away on the edge of the Irish Channel on Louisiana Avenue.

While the restaurant has changed ownership over the years, the building’s roots date back almost nearly a century, when Italian immigrants Sam and Mary Petrossi opened Petrossi’s Restaurant in 1924.

And you’ll feel the history from the moment you step inside this rustically charming restaurant that makes you feel like you’re right at home.

Open for dinner every Tuesday through Thursday, Atchafalaya has become a cozy little neighborhood favorite for those in search of a Southern meal with a little flair.

But the real star of the show here at Atchafalaya is the brunch menu.

Served every Thursday through Monday, brunch at Atchafalaya is certainly one to remember.

The brunch menu is full of Creole-Southern dishes that will tempt your tastebuds.

Pictured above is the chicken and waffles, a brunch staple in New Orleans. Atchafalaya kicks it up a notch with their special sweet & hot buffaleaux sauce and braised greens to really jazz up an iconic dish.

Speaking of iconic dishes, the shrimp and grits is a must-try.

There are four specialty Bloody Marys on their cocktail menu, so Bloody Mary lovers will be on cloud nine!
