A real treat for sure. Their royal service and customer bonding made a huge impression.

Their chef, Blake Rushing is nominated for a 2015 James Beard award, and the dishes tasted every bit of deserving to win.

From the crepes, to the rabbit, oysters, and the tableside preparation of their own invention, Bananas Foster, everything was special.

Not cheap, I believe we paid around $42 each not including tip. Upscale casual, and the lack of children and hipsters also made for a better than usual experience. Beautiful rooms full of art.

Top notch experience. It turns a breakfast into a multi-course meal extravaganza.

Breakfast is served until noon during the week even.

A nice place, but the prices are a bit high and their reputation somewhat exceeds their product. Still, worth a visit from time to time.

Like everyone else's review, I could find no flaws in this breakfast. You are treated like royalty. I loved the shrimp sardou (delicately fried shrimp on a bed of creamed spinach and artichoke hearts, then covered with a phenomenal sauce, absolutely memorable. And I highly recommend the creole onion soup, a N'awlins version of the french type but even better. Loved the service and the showmanship of the flaming desserts. Very special! This is a must do! A very special memory that will last a lifetime.

Breakfast was great. Everyone MUST go to Brennan's at least once when in New Orleans. But once was enough. There are better, less expensive restaurants in this wonderful city (see Petunia's).

Brennans has the best breakfast on earth period. Thats why its not unusual to spend 40 bucks on it here and worth every dime. Theres something surreal about having a cocktail for breakfast over looking one of the most beautiful restaurant courtyards in New Orleans and finishing it off with a Bananas Foster. Do yourself a favor go here for breakfast and enjoy the best most unique breakfast anywhere.

Quite possibly the best breakfast ever! And I'm not talking about just in New Orleans. It's a 3 course prix fixe meal. $36 per person... Yes I admitt, it's pretty pricey for just breakfast. but for me, breakfast is not "just" breakfast... it's "The Meal". You be the judge, try Maude's Seafood Okra Gumbo followed by a wonderful Eggs Benedict topped with a creamy hollandaise... you'll wonder, "gee, What's for dessert?"... You'll be prepared a flawless Bananas Foster, a flamed dessert that will forge an indulgence unlike anything you've ever known. And if that's not enough... they serve a mean addictive cup of coffee... enjoy!
