If breakfast had a personality, Café Fleur De Lis would be that effortlessly charming friend who somehow wakes up looking perfect and already has coffee brewing. We went all in: shrimp and grits that were downright phenomenal (I'm still thinking about them), a goat cheese omelette that was so good it made me question all my past breakfast decisions, and pancakes with berries that tasted like they were made by someone who genuinely cares about your happiness. The coffee? Strong enough to fix your life. The service? Warm, attentive, and somehow psychic--they just knew when we needed refills or another mimosa (which, for the record, felt less like a drink and more like a lifestyle choice). Honestly, this place doesn't just serve breakfast--it gives you a reason to get out of bed. 10/10 would wake up early again... and I do not say that lightly. read more

On the Friday before Mardi Gras, my lifelong friend and I have a tradition of going to breakfast before all of the shenanigans and walking parades kick off in the FQ. Our goal every year is to find somewhere new, and Cafe FDL definitely fit the bill this year. There is quaint seating on the first and second floor, and it feels like there's not going to be enough room, but the wait isn't bad. The service was quick and attentive, and the food was hot and filling. The alcohol was... alcohol. What's there to say about that? Price wise, it was reasonable, and it was filling enough that I wasn't hungry when I left, nor was I ill-prepared for any shenanigans that the say might bring. Definitely a solid choice for breakfast in the Quarter. Not fancy, but filling! read more

Cafe Fleur De Lis - Boudin Omelet - Coffee & Tea Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

Checked this place out for breakfast bright and early at 7am! Good option for the early morning. Service was quick and helpful. The inside gave a cozy diner feel to me. Lots of breakfast items looked tasty with a southern twist. I tried the eggs Benedict with hash browns and got a hot latte. The latte was super smooth and delicious. The eggs were poached perfectly and the hash browns were nice and crispy. The grits were really creamy and yummy too, just too heavy for me to finish it all. Solid breakfast options for early birds! read more

This spot was sooooo goood!!! Specially the grits, BEST grits of my life. It was sooooo good I went back a second time. I never eat at the same place twice on vacation unless I love it. We don't make reservations but they out our name down and sent us a text when our seats were ready. You have to check in within 5 mins of receiving the text message. We sat on the balcony with a nice little view of French Quarters. Our waitress was kind and helpful when it came to deciding what I wanted. I ordered: The Fleur de Lis omelette 5/5 Side of grits 10/5 Iced coffee 1/5 My husband ordered the Bourbon Street Breakfast Platter comes with a shot of jack daniels. Super sweet. I wasn't a fan, but my husband loved it. It was pecan and bananas pancakes. On our last morning we went back and each ordered the grits. We got a lot more to go for a side order. Came in a nice to go container. Overall, I'd be back! Until next time. read more

Cute cafe in the French Quarter but expect a wait - ours was 50 minutes on a Saturday at noon. Once we were finally seated, everything went smoothly from there. Our server was kind and efficient and the food was great. Friends had the breakfast platter which was huge. We got beignets for the table and they were nice and chewy in the middle. The muffuletta tasted great and I'm already craving another one. The Bloody Mary with hot grilled shrimp was perfect! read more

After all the alcohol yesterday, I needed something good! Never had a fried grit cake before so I ordered that and the avocado bowl! Holy hell! Couldn't finish either but the grit cake is so freaking good! Get it for the table! Your taste buds will thank you!

Shrimp and grits were my fav plate during my short stay in the area. Amazing texture on the grits (not too runny) and flavorful. The shrimp were covered in a delicious sauce and cooked perfectly. Beignets were different from all the other places I tried but were also delicious Service was a bit slow but I'm rating the place 5/5 on food alone. Busy interior with not a lot of space but the decor was casual and inviting read more

As soon as we walked in we were asked if we wanted patio or indoors which was nice that we had a say in that. We were immediately seated and given a minute to go over the menu. Our server was friendly and definitely knew her menu & her suggestions were 10/10! The portions were just right as we had an appetite. I told my boyfriend if I could have licked my plate clean I sure would have!! That's how good this place was. If you're looking for a nice brunch place this is where it's at! :) read more

Cool breakfast experience for us. We were lucky enough to get balcony seating overlooking the street. Kinda reminded me of dining in certain parts of Europe. The balcony itself is quite long compared to what you expect to see in Europe, of course. The main highlight for us remained the food. We ordered fried green tomatoes, which was the first here to actually be vegetarian. This reminded me of what we ate in Charleston earlier in the summer. Super yummy. Loved the aioli dip, which had a bit of a kick to it. I also got the avocado omelet. It was very hearty. Maybe a bit too much, which I attribute to the goat cheese. I decided to get some hash browns to split with my girl. Those were pretty good. Just loved the overall ambiance, I def recommend. read more

Sunday morning, sat at the bar. Friendly bartender. Chicory coffee, beignets. Coffee not hot, bartender made a fresh pot and all was well. Beignets seemed like biscuits with powdered sugar, but quite tasty. Followed up with Oyster Benedict and grits. Oh my! Every bite was amazing. I wanted to lick the plate! As for ambiance- it's bright, clean, uncluttered, with wood chairs that were good for an hour or so. read more

They have plenty of tables inside and out. We came here around 9 am on a Saturday and we're seated on the patio right away. They have a decent menu, something for everyone. I had a seafood omelet with shrimp and crab. Not the best, not the worst, quite salty. Overall: patio seating, decent food, good service read more

Went to put in a to-go order. I received a friendly greeting and directed to the bar to order. Found a fellow kamaaina transplant by the Hawaiian bracelet she was wearing. She took care of my order and even offered me water while I waited. I had the seafood Benedict. One of the two eggs was perfect. Nice, big seafood cakes. Of course I had to try one of my favorites, fried green tomatoes. Crispy, tasty and not mushy inside. Grateful, for once, it came with a nice dip that wasn't spicy. Definitely a place worth coming back for. read more

I was staying at a hotel nearby for a conference, and the front desk suggested checking out Cafe Fleur De Lis for breakfast! I went there 3 times while I was in NOLA! IT was great and decently priced. A chai latte and a breakfast sandwich cost me about $18. I was able to order online and set a pick-up time, which was great because most mornings I would swing by, grab my food, and run over to attend the conference. Did not get a chance to sit inside and eat but from the appearance, the ambiance seems nice and comfortable. Will be returning next time I am in the area for sure! read more

Super cute place and they have an option to sit outside on the upstairs patio with a view of the French quarter. It was too hot for that but would definitely be cool on a day with nicer weather. I had the breakfast plate that came with pancakes, eggs, bacon, sausage, toast, and hash browns. It was a huge amount of food but perfect because I was starving. I also had the iced mocha which was pretty good. Service was great too. Overall, a solid place to check out if you're in New Orleans. read more

Cafe Fleur De Lis - Coffee & Tea Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

Cafe Fleur De Lis is a lovely breakfast cafe in the French Quarter. A handful of locals online recommended this place over a big chain like Ruby Slipper. I got the Fleur de lis omelette, which is an omelette with red peppers, onions, and crawfish etouffee. I also added a side of cheesy grits, because I was told you shouldn't miss it here! My husband got the Creole Country breakfast, which comes with boudin sausage, two eggs, grits, and a biscuit. The Fleur de lis omelette was delectable. The crawfish etouffee on top of an omelette really pushed it to the next level. The portions are notably large. The side of grits, which looks kind of small, is actually so rich and heavy and creamy that it's all you really need (and it was really, really good). My husband also enjoyed his Creole Country breakfast. I love how many sides it comes with, and though the menu states two eggs, it was such a large portion of scrambled eggs that we really thought it must be about 4 eggs' worth. Boudin was not really my thing (it was my first time having it) as it has a mushy texture. I thought the breakfast here was so good and the interior is very cute. Service was friendly as well. I really miss having a place with options like this for breakfast now that I'm back home. read more

As a local, this has been my favorite French Quarter breakfast spot for a while now - they expanded and now have two locations. I prefer the Camp St location as it feels more bright and spacious. If Chartres is busy I can assure you it is just a quick walk to the other location to check on the wait time - which is usually much less than the French Quarter. There are just enough options on the menu to offer something familiar and options to try something more Southern - like a Boudin Omelette or my favorite, the Fleur De Lis Omelette, topped with Crawfish Etouffee. I always enjoy when an omelette is cooked thoroughly (no runny eggs); every omelette I've had here has been cooked very well. I've also had the Crab Catch Omelette on two occasions ; for me the peppers and onions overpower the omelette a You really can't go wrong with the menu; all of the visitors that I've taken here have thoroughly enjoyed it. I would say that the coffee is New Orleans traditional and that is often too strong for me. That's just a preference but it is also nice to give it a try. Service speed and friendliness of service can be hit or miss. As many times as I've been there, I'm always seeing new faces working there. read more

The Baseline: For a breakfast/brunch cafe the food must be hearty/filling/satisfying for the early morning, there must be a mix of sweet and savory to fulfill that brunch/breakfast need, and service must be a welcoming start of your day experience. Food: The food satisfied that need for a brunch on the last day of our trip. We had the Shrimp and Grits, Eggs Benedict, the banana & praline pancakes, and a good mess of coffee drinks. I ate before my camera on this visit but the food is above the baseline with taste (savory/sweet factor), presentation (felt like brunch), and I was satisfied on feeling full (not overstuffed though I could have made that happen). Service: Great service from our waitress. Water always full. Coffee was kept hot and full. I dropped a fork and had a new one in less than a minute. Ambiance: Breakfast/Brunch in the French Quarter and it felt like the place matched the surrounding energy of a Saturday morning in New Orleans. The place was clean and well serviced. read more

The Seafood Benedict was out of this world! Seriously... The eggs were perfect, the hollandaise sauce was super rich and flavorful and the hash browns were crispy, hot and the perfect vessel to sop up all of those wonderful flavors! Crawfish is not something we typically get up north, but it was great in this dish... the best breakfast we had the whole time in NOLA... and the service was great too!!! read more

On one of our morning walks we saw this place and decided to go in and get some breakfast and drinks. Had wonderful French quarter decor both inside and out. A young lady greeted us at the door and told us there was a little wait so we decided to walk around a little more. When we were seated by the window we were immediately asked about drinks and how we were doing. We both ordered espresso martinis (being that we needed both caffeine and alcohol, ha). For our food we decided to share the veggie omelette, she got herself an order of the bacon and I got a side of the grits. Neither of us were disappointed. The omelette was beautifully cooked, not dry, not filled with just mushrooms. A little cheese. Some spinach and tomatoes with peppers too. Beautiful. The bacon looked wonderfully crisp and candied. The grits however were the star of the show for me. Beautifully done. Creamy and decadent. Made with cream cheese I believe and finished with just enough butter. Hands down some of the best grits I've ever had. 100% recommend this place. Will definitely be back. 9.2/10 but the grits are a straight up 10. read more

Our second visit at this location, we didn't realize that they closed at 2 when we walked in at around 1pm. They sat us upstairs, our server was Juliette, she was very nice. We ordered 2 muffalettas (they were pretty big, we should have shared one) they're served warm here and have an aioli on them. I've had better, the meats were dried out and over heated (see photo). My boyfriend got a boudin omelet made into a poboy. He liked it. We also ordered biscuits and gravy and they were good, nothing specia though. The best thing here, for me, was the fried green tomatoes app. I will order that everytime! Delicious! I told the server, Juliette, that we didn't realize that they closed soon and that we were sorry if we were holding them up. She waa so gracious and told us to take our time, as they had lots of closing duties to work on anyway. That made us feel better, because we didn't leave until about 2:15pm read more

We found this Cafe a short walking distance from our hotel while on vacation. It offered a variety of breakfast options for every one of all ages. My family enjoyed the strawberry pancakes and cookies & milk pancakes. The crab catch omelet which included, crab, shrimp, cheese, topped with creamed spinach was amazing! The cheesy grits were the most delicious grits I've ever had and I'm not typically a fan of grits. Everything was outstanding!

A lot of positives for this place. It opens up at 7 AM which is great for an early riser like me. The restaurant is spotlessly clean. The service is quick, efficient, and quite friendly. There are a lot of healthy choices on the breakfast menu. I got an avocado omelette with goat cheese that was full of delicious veggies. The coffee was quite good. I ordered a side of crisp bacon and when it came, my eyeballs popped out because the plate was piled so high with bacon I couldn't even finish it. I've eaten at a bunch of other breakfast places here in New Orleans and some of them are loud with weak service. The only things those places had to offer were sweet and super high calorie breakfasts. read more

Our last morning in NOLA saw us go to Cafe Fleur de Lis for breakfast where I had an excellent breakfast sandwich with a side of bacon. Washing it down with a side of cold brew, it was a satisfying meal that was a great to conclude our most recent stay in the French Quarter. We didn't have that much of a wait on a Saturday morning. They said 20 minutes at the front desk as you come in; it ended up being about 15 and change. The server was expedient with our orders and food. The ambiance was very warm and inviting without feeling overcrowded and touristy. You have your options of either table seating or at the bar counter depending on how many are in your party (or just yourself). It's a great breakfast spot and I would go back in a heartbeat. read more

My very last meal while on my NOLA trip ended with Cafe Fleur De Lis. I ordered a basic breakfast plate, which included grits, but as soon as I had my first bite of the grits, I immediately wished I ordered the shrimp and grits instead. It was by far the best cheddar grits I think I've ever had. My breakfast plate came with bacon, sausage, egg, and pecan pancakes. The service was quick and overall I enjoyed eating here. It was convenient that it was also right down the street from the hotel we were staying at. My wait on a Monday was only about 10 minutes, so not bad either. read more

Located on one of the quintessential corners of the French Quarter, Cafe Fleur de Lis is like one of those you would walk by and say, "Huh! This looks good." And it is! Like a lot of other cafes and restaurants nearby, it's a lot packed in a small place. Fortunately, they also have more seating upstairs. I ordered the Creole Country Breakfast; two eggs, a smoked boudin link, grits and a biscuit. The plate came pretty quick and everything was hot and tasty. That smoked boudin is killer! The grits, creamy and delicious. The biscuit was fresh, fluffy and buttery - the perfect southern biscuit. The whole plate was just the right amount. Prices are about average, maybe a little more, than other cafes. But the food is good and the service is excellent. Would not say, "no," to coming back here. read more

It was my last day in New Orleans and Cafe Fleur De Lis was on the same street as my hotel, albeit several blocks down. It was a freezing morning, so I hailed an Uber, to take me to this popular Breakfast and Lunch spot in the French Quarter. There were numerous people waiting out for their names to be called and I had to do the same. After about 20 minutes, I checked in again, pointed to a table becoming empty and was able to grab it. While the menu here is limited, it had good choices. My eyes were attracted to the shrimp and crawfish cake Benny, but I resisted. Had to have crawfish étouffée, one more time. The dish arrived at the perfect temperature, with the crawfish distributed amongst a well bodied and zesty creole sauce. There was a slight kick to it and it was the perfect mini reservoir for dipping in the crusted bread pieces that came with the entree. The rice too was optimally prepared and added more texture and contrast to this well executed menu item. Service was caring, attentive and superb. read more

Such a great breakfast spot. I stopped in this morning for an iced coffee and eggs Benedict. These were both amazing! They have an upstairs balcony with seating, as well as indoor table and bar seating. My mom recommended this place to me, and I'm so glad I stopped in. The food was delicious and fresh. The restaurant was pretty empty, with only a few tables with patrons. My food came out very quickly, and I loved it. I'd definitely stop back here for breakfast again. The biscuits my eggs Benedict was on were fresh, hot and melting in my mouth. I absolutely loved them and would come back just for the biscuits alone. Highly recommend! read more
