Beggars Banquet

Cute neighborhood place done well - the Bar is on the left and they have a nice early happy hour menu and the full restaurant has a door on the right which opens around 5pm. Calamari is some of the best you'll find, it's not over-fried like most - just right yielding a perfect texture and good accompaniments. Mushroom toast is nice, who can argue with excellent Focaccia, top quality ingredients, and great flavors.

Entrees are generally large portions so you might want to plan on taking some home, but we've had most items and it's hard to go wrong. Plus the cocktail menu is amazing and the wine list has some nice options so you have great options all around. Service is excellent, with some of the nicest and most genuine people you will find in the industry. If you live in the area or you're in from elsewhere, this is the kind of neighborhood place you want to support. Enjoy!

Went to Beggers Banquet for Father's Day brunch
Great drinks.Food was vey good. Service was excellent. Banana bread appetizer great. Butter maple bacon delicious.
Definitely will go back

First visited this restaurant while the "Barbie" craze was going on. My friend and I decided to do a cutesy Barbie brunch here. It was lovely! Since then, I've been back more times than I can count.

Food is always great, the cauliflower is one of my faves on the menu! Drinks are always on point as well! At the time they carried an espresso crème brûlée, to do for!!!! They've changed the menu but still great items!

I visited this place on a Thursday evening and it's smaller inside but cute. So I had an espresso martini which was just okay, nothing spectacular. The mushroom toast was tasty and it was plated super cute. I had seared redfish for dinner and u would not recommend it at all. The corn maque choux was just too greasy and salty for me. The fish was ok and it was seared good. The crabmeat on top was pretty but lacked any true flavors. Overall the dish was pretty in presentation but I was expecting the flavors to come together so much better. I would've rather my fish just been on some potatoes and called it a day. The bathroom also could've used a little TLC. For the price, I'd just expect more. There are better places in the city.

We went with a party of 5 on Saturday night to try a new spot for all 5 of us. Let me tell you that this place is one of my new favorite restaurants in the city, with zero hesitation. Ethan was our waiter and kept our drinks full and the reccomendations he made were incredible. We had the calimari, kale caesar, seared tuna, and fried green tomatoes all of which were delicious, easy 8.5-10s on every single one. For dinner we went with the redfish, steak frites, and the gnocchi. Seriously not only was everything extremely fast out of the kitchen, the steak was the perfect temp, the pasta and fish were delicate and delicious, but the french fries are seriously top two in the city (Delachaise being my other). I will be back, and I will be back with more new people to experience this place.

Cocktails and appetizers! Redfish dip is amazing and awesome Lemon Drop Martini! Oh and maybe the best espresso martinis in town, they sprinkle sea salt on it !!!

Good food, service and a cute setting. Came here for an early lunch on a Friday afternoon. We had a reservation but it wasn't necessary.

I ordered the banh mi sandwich with pork belly and my partner had the steak sandwich. The fries for both were crispy and fresh. They're shoe string fries.

Both sandwiches were delicious. A perfect portion that left us plenty full until dinner.

A perfect lunch spot near the WWII museum and away from the bustle of the French Quarter.

Good food and great service. This place does not disappoint. Seems a bit pricey if you are just browsing the menu online. I can assure you, the quality is there. I had Danielle as a server and she was helpful amazing. Hidden gem here in the lower garden district. On street parking. Come by for dinner or Brunch. Happy hour is 3-5.

This place is a solid solid 5!! We chose this establishment the night before Stones Day at JazzFest on a whim!!! It did not disappoint! The cocktails were fabulous and the food equally GREAT. We had the Boneless Short Ribs, the SCHNITZEL, and the Gnocchi. I have to say the Short Ribs and Gnocchi were the best we have ever had! This is a must visit! Good HH too.

We came to check out the happy hour, which is Wednesday through Sunday, 3-5. I ordered off the regular menu and got the espresso martini and a mahi mahi sandwich. I thought every bit of the sandwich was delicious, but I didn't like the espresso martini. The entire reason I came was for the martini, as it had been highly recommended. Maybe it's personal preference, but I like those to be sweeter, darker, and less bitter. The bartender was friendly. And the pics kf the bathroom are just because - wow - there's a lot on those walls.
