LaMont Vernon Pierre Maspero’s – A True New Orleans Treasure Since 1788 Dining at Pierre Maspero’s is like stepping back in time while savoring the authentic flavors that make New Orleans cuisine legendary. As one of the city’s oldest restaurants, this historic gem offers not only incredible food but also an atmosphere rich with charm and Southern hospitality. Our meal reflected the very essence of traditional New Orleans gourmet. The Blackened Redfish, made with fresh Louisiana red drum and seasoned to perfection with Cajun spices, was simply outstanding. Served with French fries, flavorful jambalaya, and topped with jumbo lump crabmeat, it was a dish that beautifully balanced spice, texture, and local flair. The Blackened Chicken Alfredo Pasta was equally satisfying—tender chicken over perfectly cooked fettuccine tossed in a creamy, decadent Alfredo sauce that added a comforting richness to the meal. The Crescent City Sampler offered the best of New Orleans classics in one plate, featuring Cajun jambalaya, red beans and rice, and chicken & andouille gumbo—each bite full of authenticity and bold Creole flavor. The staff truly elevated the experience. They were courteous, attentive, and delightfully funny, adding a personal touch that made our evening even more enjoyable. The lively atmosphere—with a perfect mix of history, laughter, and Louisiana charm—made it easy to see why Pierre Maspero’s continues to be a favorite among locals and visitors alike. If you’re visiting New Orleans, Pierre Maspero’s is an absolute must. It’s more than just a meal—it’s an experience steeped in history, heart, and unforgettable flavor.

Jonathan Vidrine Best shrimp poboy in town. But they’ve gotten chintzy on the number of shrimp — 8 or 9 would be better than 6. I was very disappointed last time I went in June 2024. Love the French fries!!!

Candice Adams Highly recommended! My hotel suggested this spot, and I’m so glad they did. The Atchafalaya was the standout, incredibly flavorful and exceeded my expectations. I returned the next day for the well-seasoned fish and shrimp platter, but the Atchafalaya is definitely the must-order dish here so far.

Marie Chazé We had the absolute best time and best food. We tried different dishes as per the bartender’s advice and my goodness - probably one of the best restaurants we’ve been to in the US. We recommend the mushroom sourdough - puff puffs - shrimps with black garlic - tuna crudo - chocolate mousse & cheesecake.

D Parish Curtis was phenomenal!! He gave the perfect advice on our meal, and everything was delicious!! He remembered our order and that shows his dedication to his craft! I highly recommend Curtis section anytime you go. The Chantilly Cheesecake was chefs kiss!!

BJ Martin We were in town for just the day and needed to grab some lunch. The crawfish pie was fantastic. My family also had the shrimp stir fry and the chicken tenders and fries, also delicious! Service was great and the wait was not long. I would definitely visit again if Im in town!
