Excellent dining! My colleague hit a home run with the reservation for the eve. Upscale warehouse vibe, with super-attentive service. Our personable server Victoria guided us thru the menu. Among a group of three, we enjoyed the Smoked Duck Toast, Roasted Carrots, and Arancini, all delicious. For entrees we had the Spicy San Marzano Pie, Roasted Mushroom Pie, and I had the Pappardelle dish. Excellent flavor and spice on my Pappardelle, and not complaints on the pizza front. Padalar is definitely a classy casual destination away from the typical NOLA tourist scene. read more

This was literally one of the best brunches I've ever had in my life. We were vacationing in New Orleans and a friend recommended this place. I got the pork thing - - can't even remember exactly what was in it because this was about a month ago, but I still remember the taste. Also loved that it was LGBTQA friendly, and maybe gay owned? Anyway, a great place with great food. Five stars. read more

this is my spot! two words for you: squid ink. get it and i promise you won't be disappointed. i've been many times and the service and vibes are always the same, pleasant and friendly. i like to sit upstairs for a nice date night vibe with some wine. can't go wrong. read more

Yum! We we're lucky enough to get a few spots at the bar without having a reservation. These spots come with dinner and a show. The show is that the kitchen is right there and you watch them making every delicious thing you're about to eat. I was with two friends and we shared five appetizers and a dessert. This was a perfect strategy. We had the squid ink pasta, which was with shrimp and phenomenal. For veggies, we have the local lettuce salad, carmelized radishes, and the carrots, which had these candied hazelnuts that I'm still dreaming about. The arancini has short rib and cheese in it, a giant ball of delight. And we had the brownie for dessert that had incredible coconut crunch ice cream with toffee chips. The cocktails and the wine were enjoyable as well. Shout out to Otto for taking great care of us! read more

Paladar 511 continues to live up to the hype, and the pappardelle is a standout dish that keeps me coming back. The pasta was perfectly cooked! Every bite felt intentional and balanced. I love the atmosphere. It's warm, intimate and cozy. Perfect for a date night! If you're dining at Paladar 511 and love pasta, the pappardelle is a must-order. read more

Oh I just love this place so much. Coming here after a wine tasting at Grand Krewe next door is my favorite. Their pasta is so delicious but honestly everything is. Their pizzas are great for a sharing app with the table. I kinda want to order the arrincini every single time. Last time we had slow service which was unusual. The ambiance is really nice too! read more

Service was great and the food was delicious. I tried a couple of their signature cocktails and enjoyed them both. I liked the Bad Mr Jive more than the Swarm and Sting. The pasta was perfectly cooked and everything had exceptional flavor. read more

Though I've had the opportunity to visit Paladar 511 many times for dinner (excellent!)... I finally had the chance to attend brunch for my birthday :) The food at brunch definitely didn't disappoint. The service was good as always & the ambiance is always such a vibe. Love the open kitchen concept, the windows, the art & books-- it's very cozy in there! I'd definitely be back for brunch. Every entrée was honestly good (had a try of them all!) read more

Get the squid ink spaghetti, get the squid ink spaghetti, get the squid ink spaghetti...and the pizza! Dispute a rocky start, everything...and I mean everything we experienced here was worth every penny! We arrived after walking in the pouring rain (it was just a few blocks we said...it'll be easy we said *eye rolls*) to be met with a few strange passing glances, and an usher to get us seated quickly. Once seated, our waiter was fabulous. They truly knew the menu, and their knowledge alone helped us understand how we could craft the perfect birthday experience for my mother. I ended up with a Ponchatoula Plane, the seasonal watermelon starter, the squid ink pasta, and a chocolate cake. My mother indulged in the same, but opted for pizza instead of pasta. Described as the best thing on the menu by our waiter, I highly encourage trying the squid ink pasta as an entree (as opposed to a starter). Trust me, you won't want to share. Additionally, it's been a month, and my mother still references their chocolate cake. They frost the cake when warm, so although it doesn't look like much, it's a decadent take on a traditional treat. Whatever you choose, it's hard to go wrong here. It's certainly a stop I'll be adding to my permanent NOLA rotation! read more

THE BEST RESTAURANT IN NOLA! Hands down. My hubby and I are for sure foodies. We love a great meal. And they delivered! We started with the salad and arancini. Both delicious. We then moved onto pasta and pizza. My pasta was the pappardelle with a meat ragu. Very good. But the pizza -- OMG -- the pizza. It is called the farm egg. And my very Sicilian husband said it's the best neopolitan style pizza he has ever had. EVER. And I actually can't argue. It was incredible. The perfect blend of gruyere cheese, collard greens and bacon - such a lovely smokey taste to the bacon that added to it..... Ughhh so so good. I would highly recommend it! read more

I've been here twice and it's been good to great! The spaghetti was a 13/10. I dream about this spaghetti. The lamb pizza is out of this world good and the char on the crust is to die for, not pictured because we inhaled it. The squash pasta was good. I was not a highlight, but it was good. The dessert was the star the cinnamon ice cream is like nothing I've ever tried. I'd come back again and again for the pizza, spaghetti, and the dessert! read more

The restaurant interior feels like vacation. Gorgeous brick walls and beautiful wood, high ceilings and tasteful lighting and colors. The ambiance is excellent and the wait staff attentive and helpful. The cocktails are refreshing and beautiful The ensalada tre colorí has potential, but must have been low on the anchovi as flavor was mellow The Hamachi crudo was phenomenal. So fresh, cut perfectly and the sauce... just wow Pappardelle had potential if only the seemingly house made noodles had been drained properly The seared snapper seemed deep fried. The sauce was good. The peach angel food cake was fresh and delicious. The mascarpone ice cream was 5/5 read more

Been wanting to try this place for a while and it did not disappoint!! Make a reservation pretty far in advance as they book up fast. We had a reservation at 5:30pm on a Friday and it was packed from the moment we walked in until we left. The restaurant is in the Marigny and the atmoshere inside is great. Our server was very sweet. We had a lot of questions about the menu and she was super helpful to answer all of them. We tried alot of different things, and honestly didn't have any complaints about a single thing we ordered. If anything, GET THE SQUID INK PASTA. It was incredible. Only thing to note is the portions aren't huge. However, we loved trying everything and were so satisfied. read more

We LOVED Paladar. Every flavor was unique from the Spicy San Marzano pizza, to the short rib Arancini, to the Wagyu Flat Iron steak, to the cocktails. It was all just phenomenal. All the staff were very kind and helpful, and the lighting was dim, very romantic. I can't get over this place, and will definitely be back!!! read more

Paladar 511 was on my friends list of places to try in NoLa. Overall, Paladar has good food and great ambiance/lighting (ideal for a date). The servers were super attentive and nice but nothing wowed me. They had Very tasty drinks ( desert bloom). I Shared the hamachi crisp (3.5/5; decent flavor but the fish wasn't highlighted though. Too many add ons) and had squid ink spaghetti as my main (4/5; decent flavor but I wanted move from this dish ex. More complex flavor and better cooked protein). Note, you may need a reservation read more

The Picket Fences mocktail is great. And don't miss the Rye Parker House Rolls with the special butter. Yum. The Carpaccio with the raw beef and the cooked oysters is a don't miss as well. Pizza is a solid choice. The Angolotti was okay. The pasta itself is bland and needs more goat cheese inside and on top. I won't order this one again. They no longer have the graham cake so we didn't order dessert. read more

Beautiful space and great for a romantic date night or get together with friends. The cocktails were great and reasonably priced and service was good at the bar. The squid ink pasta was phenomenal but I wish I could say the same about the pizza. The crust was good like other reviewers have said, but I was expecting Spicy San Marzano sauce. Unfortunately, there was nothing spicy or tasty about the sauce. It was very tomato-ey and creamy but not very flavorful. read more

Loved the vibe/ atmosphere, host was nice and accommodating even though we didn't have a reservation (definitely recommend making a reservation since it gets crowded). Our server was lovely, patient, timely and helpful! And the food was great - I got the mushroom pizza which was delicious. I had it to myself for my meal and it was a perfect personal size. We also got the pappardelle pasta which was classic and well flavored and the squid ink pasta. Super flavorful and unique. Might not be everyone's cup of tea, but worth trying. read more

I liked it so much I dined here twice in a week long trip. Everything I tried was top notch. The freshness of the ingredients and the taste is sublime. Tried different salads, each had so many flavors! The pizza crust so light! The best thing was the mint chip cream. It is simply the best, so subtle on the mint and creamy with a salty flavor. So delightful and delicious. Definitely give thus place a try. read more

Great location. Close enough to the French Quarter but far enough away that parking is better and a little off the beaten path. I went with three others to celebrate my homecoming, so we ordered a lot and shared it all. There was nothing bad in this restaurant. EVERYthing tasted delicious. The starters we ordered were the Tuna Crudo, Autumn Squash, Arancini, Cacio Pepe, and Butternut Squash Buckwheat bread. Not your traditional bread, but so good we ordered a second round. For mains we had the Pappardelle and Braised Rabbit. For dessert, we had a Chocolate Chessman tart and the Apple Trifle. The drinks were Across the River, Always on Time, and Marigny Mornings. Again, every single dish was amazing. The staff was attentive without being pushy, and the seating was very comfortable. I think the restaurant used to be a warehouse, but don't hold me to it. I will definitely return. read more

Outside of the typical fare you may find in the French Quarter, there is a wonderful Italian restaurant called Paladar 511 that is hip and modern, with nectarous cuisine that will linger on your palate for a good time afterward. The restaurant itself has both a ground floor where most of the dining tables are located with an open kitchen to watch the action and a wine cellar in the back. The mezzanine floor has a private dining area for parties that would like to have the space to themselves for fun and relaxed experiences. If you site at the bar, you get to experience watching the kitchen staff preparing all the meals, which is pretty cool. Cocktail-wise, I enjoyed the Bad Mr Jive that was rye-based with sweet vermouth, Amaro, and Apertif, which was more Manhattan themed with a twist. For dinner, I savored every bite of the pork saltimbocca that was glorious with the polenta, grilled broccolini, and capers. The marsala jus complimented so delightfully. It was one of my favorite meals in New Orleans. read more

A Standout Dining Experience for True Food Lovers Paladar 511 is food for foodies--each dish is expertly prepared, bursting with flavor, and beautifully balanced. With so many great restaurants in New Orleans, it's saying something that Paladar 511 consistently stands out on every trip. This visit, we started with the squid ink spaghetti--a must-order dish. For my entrée, I had the Pork Saltimbocca, which was rich and deeply flavorful thanks to the Marsala jus and creamy polenta, perfectly balanced by the brightness of the capers. It was incredibly crispy and simply outstanding. My wife had the crispy skin chicken, which I didn't try, but she couldn't stop raving about it! From the attentive service and inviting atmosphere to the craft cocktails and unforgettable food, everything here is top notch. You won't be disappointed--Paladar 511 is a true gem. read more

HOT! Don't eat here in summer! This place has little to no a/c. I've never been so hot in a place while trying to enjoy a meal. The restaurant itself is cute. The ambiance is not if not for the temperature, and we went at night; I can't imagine how hot it is earlier in the evening. read more

We had a 5:30 rest which is also when the restaurant opens. When we got there a few minutes early there was a line of people waiting to get in. The front desk got everyone in quickly and was able to seat people who didn't have a reservation. The menu isn't huge but everything we ate was really good. Started with each of the salads and honestly could have potentially split one due to size. We got the Rye rolls with the dill butter which looked a bit odd but was really good. For mains we had the snapper and the hot buttered chicken. We were both very happy with our choices. The BF finished off the chicken I couldn't eat and also liked the spice of it. read more

This is one of our favorite places in town, even though we like eating creole when we're here. Wonderful Italian inspired food. Is beautiful and buzzing. Staff is friendly and well-trained. We have corn biscuits, yellow tail sashimi with avocado and strawberries which was fantastic, caccio et peppe pasta which was to die for. The large arancini w short rib was also very good. The toasted beets and toasted carrots were good but wouldn't suggest unless you have a vegetarian in your group. We had a good veggie pizza and more caccio et peppe pasta as an entree. We have had tremendous food every time we've been there. This time the ragu/bolognese was too spicy. And would not recommend the cannelloni with cheese was dry and didn't live up to the rest of the menu. The strawberry cake/parfait was also very good. Drinks were tasty. Our waitress was fantastic and friendly. Sorry I have forgotten her name. We sat in the booth in the corner which was a nice spot to be in. Great experience but not as great as in previous years we've been. read more

The squid ink spaghetti is the best thing we had, it was a strong start with the winter squash with salad. The service was pleasant and multiple people checked in on us throughout the night. The pork saltimbocca was a little salty and fried for my taste and there were only a couple pieces of broccolini. The braised rabbit was tasty and the sauce was delicious but a small portion, the gnocchi were gummy and just tasted like sweet potato or was not enjoyable. It wasn't too loud or too dark and the music wasn't blasting which was wonderful. A great time! read more

Always a great experience here. Ambiance never fails, lowly lit, industrial interior, intimate vibe. Seasonal menu selections are always fresh, flavorful and creative. Personally prefer the wine selection over crafted cocktails. Cocktails have consistently been lackluster for me. Service is always on par and attentive. Truly a neighborhood staple! read more
