“ I got the Andouille and Eggs and it was incredible. Heavy, but so good. The waitstaff were very friendly and my server was impeccable. I will definitely be returning. ”
“ Had the blackened redfish with jambalaya and roasted veggies on the recommendation of Shelly our waitress. It was by far the best Cajun dish I had in New Orleans. We had an outstanding meal with a vegetarian friendly off menu Po boy for my wife. Shout out to Shelly for the personal service and charm that she brought to our evening and compliments to the Chef! ”
“ 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. ”
“ We ended up here by fluke because the place we originally planned to go was closed for a private event and I am so glad it happened! We ordered blackened redfish and veggie Alfredo pasta and both were absolutely amazing. Fish was super fresh and we enjoyed every bite. The bread pudding at the end was spot on too. The food was so good that we didn’t leave a single crumb. Definitely a 5-star experience. I will be visiting this place again !! ”
“ Loved this place! I ordered the fish po-boy and my son ordered the shrimp. My wife ordered the seafood potpie. The food was delicious. Especially the bread pudding for dessert. We actually tried bread pudding at 3 other restaurants around NOLA and theirs was by far the best in town. My only complaint is the po-boys were supposed to come with Tabasco mayo but there wasn't any on either po boy. I had to ask the waitress for some. Even without the mayo the po-boys were delicious but the mayo did make it better. We loved the bread pudding so much we stopped in on our last day in NOLA just for dessert. I wish there was a Pierre Maspero near us. Or some way to have that bread pudding shipped here. ”
