Olde Nola Cookery
Louisiana cooking on the most famous street in town.
Olde Nola Cookery serves authentic Louisiana Cajun and Creole dishes, along with exceptional Gulf seafood. We’re on world-famous Bourbon Street in the New Orleans French Quarter, and we’re truly passionate about New Orleans cuisine and culture.
Start with our crabmeat cakes, the most popular appetizer in the house, then try the dish the kitchen is named for: Redfish Cookery, lightly breaded and sautéed, topped with our crawfish mushroom cream sauce. With a full bar of wine, beer, specialty martinis and cocktails, and local favorites like the Rajun Cajun Bloody Mary, any day can feel like Mardi Gras.
