Vampire Cafe - Deviled eggs - Cafes Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

Great spot for a quick bite. We ordered: - AB+ sazerac - O- blackberry mojito; sooo yummy, but don't drink with a straw (seeds at the bottom of the glass) - shrimp and grits; hands down the BEST thing I ate my entire visit in NOLA - dracula burger; the meat was good but the bread was way too thick Molly was our server and she was really nice! read more

I came here to get the blood Bag drink, and that turned out really good. I also ended up splitting a breakfast burger since we had already eaten before getting here, but it was still very good. I do wish the egg had been a little more runny, but overall everything tasted great. My favorite part was definitely the little potato chips on the sideI loved the crunch, and they were perfectly salted. The atmosphere was great too. I really liked the vampire theme throughout the place, and even the little map on the table added a fun touch to the experience. read more

What a fun experience while visiting NOLA. Their menu had a great selection of food, dessert and drinks (though the blood bags are what everyone goes for!) note that the blood bags are incredibly popular and there are occasions where they will sell out completely. I visited with three others and we shared several apps, tried the regular blood bags and the nonalcoholic version. Everything was good, the atmosphere dark and cozy, and the staff friendly. Prices are a bit high but you're in a touristy area so you're paying for that. read more

When in NOLA, do something spooky. With a day full of voodoo museums and cemetery tours, we decided to start our day at the Vampire Cafe for some breakfast. The space has a great vibe and we enjoyed the atmosphere while we waited for some friends. We started with a blood bag cocktail which was fun! They also had a good wine selection. The lunch and dinner menu looked great, but we were here early so we were limited to breakfast. I decided on the shrimp and grits. The shrimp and gravy were great, but I found the grits to be bland. Service was great, I would return here for lunch or dinner for sure! read more

Is there a better way to follow up a night time ghost and vampire tour and dinner at the Vampire Cafe? I think not! We have been to this place before I'm previous visits, and wanted to bring our son who came with us on this trip. The building is, like all the others in the French quarter, an old brick building. There's exposed brick and lots of iron work and sparkly chandeliers. I love that in the window the bottles of wine have vampire capes. You have to pay attention to this small details - the red napkins are folded in the shape of the heart with the silverware making a cross. We have been told that the owner of this restaurant says she is a vampire who is over 200 years old. The drinks are all mean for blood types, so you order an A-, B+, O-, etc. there are some blood back drinks, one of which is the red fang-ria, which I ordered. Hubby and son ordered the shrimp and grits with andouille sausage, and I got the alligator po' boy sandwich with housemade chips. Everything was yummy, especially my alligator! Is a great place to go if you're a vampire lover, or at least a vampire story lover. You get vampire bite tattoos for your neck when you leave--if you love that, then this is your place! read more

Our server was so much fun. He kept those mimosas coming. I had the vampire breakfast burger and it was soo good. The entire cafe is adorable and a great spot for some photos. We were seated quickly and the food was all delicious and made quickly. My only complaint was the absinthe in a can to go. That was the worst thing I have ever tasted lol we left them on the table and barely took a sip. read more

This is our second time enjoying this vampiric cafe for breakfast. Definitely not our last. While their breakfast menu is a bit limited it is delicious. Food is fresh and I don't know what they season their country potatoes with but they are the best. I normally dislike country potatoes (I'm a hash brown guy) but the Vampire Cafe's potatoes kick some serious butt. Next time we'll try lunch or dinner. Service is top notch. Everyone from the host to those waiting on you stay in character from the time you're greeted at the door. Also make sure you go to their speakeasy Potions. It's located atop Fritzel's but you do need a card and password to get in. Excellent ambience and drinks await. read more

The staff is very friendly. We stopped for the charcuterie board which came recommended from a local. It was good, nothing crazy fancy. I wish they had a soft cheese like Brie because both cheeses that were served were hard. You really can't spend those on a cracker. My daughter and I split a huger. It came out medium rare and I asked for medium but was good. They sell "blood bags" of drinks to go, too. J read more

We stopped in on a Friday at 3 and it was packed so we were hopeful. We were sat pretty quickly and a waitress took our drink orders, I got the peach Bellini and my husband got an adios. Both drinks were great. I got the pan seared salmon with mashed potatoes and Brussel sprouts, my husband got the alligator poboy sandwich. I loved my meal (except the sprouts but that's completely a me thing) and my husband enjoyed his sandwich but noted that the chips were a little burnt but otherwise great. Over all the aesthetics were on point and the staff was very friendly. read more

We're from Southern California, came out here for a comedy festival; Skankfest. For Saturday we had time on our hands in the morning before the festival. The name of the restaurant of course caught our eye so gave it a try. Friend wasn't really hungry but convinced him to buy a drink. I was hungry so got the French toast. Eat a lot of French toast when eating out for breakfast and brunch at restaurants and it was good. Nothing amazing but it did its job. That's as far as the food goes. But you come here more so for the ambience. Honestly , thought the atmosphere or ambience of the restaurant would be more impactful. More so, it feels as though not too much was put into it, but it was still cool. Could be that our server was great. Forgot her name but she was attentive and we enjoyed her insight into gothic stuff as well as New Orleans and the restaurant. While we were just passing through and kind of making it quick, our server made the experience more enjoyable. Menu for the food is limited, but it's a decent theme restaurant. But only if you are looking for a simple meal. Would say if you want a fuller experience , probably somewhere else. But if you want something a little themed and something simple, this a good spot to give a try. read more

The experience is great, the ambience is perfect, the drinks are fun, and the food is delicious. Don't be scared to try the alligator! Easily one of my favorite meals since being in NOLA, doesn't help that I am also a big vampire fanatic. But even if you just need a good meal and tasty drinks please stop by the vampire cafe ! Not to mention the staff is so sweet and they give out free temporary tattoos and even a little surprise if you're lucky ;) read more

The baked brie was very good. The alligator poboy was awesome. A bit chewy, like a skirt steak, but the flavor..Wow! The blackberry mojito was nice and tart.. not syrupy sweet like some others.

Vampire Cafe - Cafes Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

Fun place to visit when in NOLA. Fun vampire theme. You can grab blood bags to go or dine in. We went on a Saturday for their brunch. I ordered the chicken and waffles it came with a siracha maple syrup. I asked for mine on the side. The waffles were dry without it. It would have been nice to be offered a plain syrup. The chicken was tasty but came on the bone so I had my hubby de-bone it. Hubby ordered the steak and eggs. The portion was a good portion. The steak was a little more on the rare side. The potatoes and eggs were tasty, and the salad was fresh. They have alcoholic and nonalcoholic blood bags. My friend got the sangria blood bag. I ordered the nonalcoholic pomegranate one. It was fun and tasty! They have a sister restaurant that does tea leave readings. Fun place to check out when in NOLA. read more

New Orleans is a city rich in Vampire folklore. These immortal beings often symbolize the city's allure and mystery. I've been to the sister restaurant Apothecary but never dined here, so when my brother suggested we go for brunch I was in! This ethereal café welcomes Vampires & Mortals alike. Inside is quite charming with elegant chandeliers, tin ceiling, exposed brick walls, & a mahogany bar. A friendly host greeted us and directed is to a table where our darling server Lisa took great care of us. She was an absolute doll and very attentive. I looked around - it was obvious that this place is a local favorite. Sticking with the theme, cocktails are named after blood types. I had the A- (Dracula Sparkling Wine & St Germain). My brother had a Bloody Maria. The wine list is entertaining too featuring brands like Trueblood, Fangria, & Freakshow. I ordered Avocado Toast & brother had the Smoked Salmon Eggs Benedict. My dish consisted of a thick slice of toast topped with avocado, smoked salmon, pickled cucumbers, onions, & drizzled with dill oil. The avocado & smoked salmon were fresh & tasty. Brother cleaned his plate, and our cocktails were a perfect accompaniment. If you're in NOLA be sure to show this place some love. Don't forget your Blood Bag cocktail to go, (Virgin BB available too.) and visit Apothecary. It's also fantastic. read more

This place has great food and good drinks, so you wont be disappointed! They even have a fun blood bag sangria thats on theme, which is cute. While the decor and vibe are great, low lighting, vampire theme, music isnt hard to talk over, comfy and plenty of seating, I will say the server we had was disengaged, inattentive, not friendly and seemed to Just not care a all. This part of the experience wasnt great, but it may just have been a case of server with a bad attitude. read more

I really enjoyed the vampire cafe while visiting New Orleans on Halloween and actually came here twice! It is very very busy but we were able to be seated within a reasonable amount of time when we came here for lunch. I was happily surprised to see some great vegan options on the menu. The tofu curry was incredible. The flavor was perfect and it really hit the spot after traveling. I came back on Halloween to try the "blood bag" and I loved it. It was tasty and such a fun costume. Perfect drink for my vampire costume! Despite how busy it is the staff does a great job of accommodating everyone. It would be nice if there were more than one bathroom but it was clean despite all the action it gets. read more

Vampire Cafe - Cafes Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

This was a go to during the epic snow storm last year but with few choices available and the convenience being a block from the hotel that was great. This visit we wanted to make a stop in and I was craving the lamb stew. We got there to find they were all out of lamb stew and were not sure when they might have it. So opted for burgers. My burger the first time came out overcooked and dry. Was very disappointed in our meal. The staff there were great and service was amazing but disappointed in the meals we received. Love the history that is a part of this restaurant and the drinks there are pretty amazing and interesting. It brought back many fond memories of our prior visit read more

I was really looking forward to the "deluxe" charcuterie board, but it ended up being one of the most disappointing parts of the meal. For $35, I expected a generous and thoughtfully curated selection. Instead, the board came out with just four very small slices of salami and four equally small portions of cheese -- something that felt more like a light snack than a shareable appetizer. The presentation was fine, but the portion size and value were way off. A charcuterie board at that price point should feel abundant and a bit indulgent, not sparse enough that you're counting pieces. To make matters worse, our total for four drinks and the "deluxe" charcuterie came out to $109, which really drove home the lack of value. At that price, you expect quality and quantity to match -- and this just didn't deliver. Overall, the experience felt more like a tourist trap than a place worth returning to. I'd strongly recommend skipping the charcuterie and choosing something else if you decide to visit. read more

Unfortunately, this place really didn't meet our expectations! The food wasn't really that great and the wait for the food was so long. We were seated pretty fast when we got to this place and the waiter seemed super nice! However, they forgot so many of our dishes and we waited over an hour or so for the food to come out. The desserts were good but the food itself was disappointing given we had to wait for it for so long. I wanted to like this place because it seemed popular but I definitely don't think we'll be visiting again. read more

Vampire Cafe - At the bar in the Vampire Cafe - Cafes Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

This location used to pop up on my Facebook feed all the time until I followed the account and was one of many reasons I wanted to visit New Orleans with my love of vampires. Having read some reviews beforehand, I had low expectations but wanted to experience it for myself. First, the interior is very sparsely decorated and quite small. There are some vampire decor but not as much. I did enjoy the place setting for the tables and thought that was a nice touch. Second, I ordered the drink that came in the blood bag for the novelty and was a fun little experience to remember. From there, it went down hill. We arrived around 6pm, still quite early in the evening. Everything we wanted to order they were out of which I found hard to believe as they are open until quite late. We ended up offering the garlic appetizer and it was basically hot cloves of garlic to smear on bread, and while I like garlic, it was underwhelming and would've preferred garlic infused butter. Then we ordered the pork belly and found them tough and underseasoned and lackluster. The entree I chose for myself was salmon with the Brussels and mash, which was not my first choice so it was settling, and found that the price was way over for what I would pay as this is a dish I could've made at home. The best part were the chocolate bats. Would I return, I could be convinced but I will ask ahead of time if they have things in stock on the menu before dining in read more

I can't give them a zero star.......That was the WORSE Bloody Mary I've ever had in my life AFTER waiting over 20 mins for it. The bartender was lolligaging away with the staff (restaurant was empty) The "charcuterie board" was really a CHEESE PLATE....a $35 large lunchable! the server offered to bring us more meat (2 pieces of salami) as she rambled away about God knows what because we couldn't understand a word she was saying and she talked as we were trying to eat. The Cesar salad was mediocre at best and we ordered extra shrimp which came after we finished the salad. Our server stood next to me while I counted the money to pay and kept telling me to take my time while she hovered over me as I counted money. Stay away from this place. Nothing vampy about it read more

We had a great experience, dining here. I very much appreciated. The food recommendations we got from the server. They were custom to what was available that night, and not simply generic recommendations. The atmosphere was nice and all the food we had was a hit. I'm not much into the kitschy kind of cocktails, but other people enjoyed them. Overall, this was a solid choice as a tourist destination. read more

This is 100% a tourist trap and I don't care. Every post on social media suggested the Vampire Cafe so it was at the top of our to do list. We got here right when it opened. We were lucky that we got seated immediately because the inside is small so it can fill up fast. The inside was vampire themed but it's very subtle. I guess they try to make it look themed but don't want it to look cluttered They do have a decent size menu but the main reason people come in is for the drinks. They have cocktails served in blood bags but I was so disappointed when they told me they ran out of them. The food was great. I had the breakfast burger and it was top notch. The fried egg was cooked exactly how I like it. My mom got the salmon eggs Benedict and she really enjoyed it. The Vampire may be gimmicky but I enjoyed it. I do recommend it if you want something different read more

My wife had already paid a visit to the Vampire Café the last time we were in New Orleans; only I was predisposed at a conference and couldn't join her. On this most recent trip, I made sure I had the opportunity to experience the glories of a blood bag within the dining and bar area with its vampiric-like aura. The interior features yellow-cream-colored walls for most of the dining area, contrasted by the blood-red walls of the bar area, which is adorned with gargoyles perched on top of the liquor shelves, overlooking us all. Had we just gone for drinks, or were it just a party of two, we would probably have sat at the bar. But we had three in our party, so we grabbed a table by the tall liquor cabinet. I love the gold dining ware and the blood-red napkin setup, representing a crucifix and a bat, respectively. Our server was very friendly and had us started with drinks, which I started with their bloodiest mary that was, for lack of a better word, bloody good, with a garnish of pickled green beans and an olive. The blood bag was in the opposite direction, comprising a fruity sangria that was very satisfying for an afternoon cocktail. For food, the elephant garlic was gloriously delicious, rich and gorgeous in mouthfeel. We worked on that for a little bit. The only part of the experience that was disappointing was the braised pork belly due to the chewiness and the lack of flavor. I didn't even both finishing it because it just wasn't satisfying. Despite the one hiccup selection with the pork belly, the Vampire Cafe is a fun spot that has the ambiance and vibes for those who enjoy being a little vampy. read more

I have been coming to New Orleans for years-love visiting the French Quarter! And somehow I've never heard of this place. This was my best friend's first time to NOLA, and she wanted to try this place out. I have no idea how she found it, but I'm so glad she did! 1. Vampires theme is awesome! We went during the day so there was some sunlight inside, but it is mostly dark and mysterious. We also received vampire bite temporary tattoos with our check-which we loved!! 2. Food was great! We came for a light lunch and shared the pork belly appetizer and a slice of purple velvet cake. They were running out of some desserts, but our waitress was nice and let us claim a slice of cake when we sat down. 3. Drinks! The cocktail list is an assortment of blood types. Additionally you could get a bloodbag in either a sangria or pink lemonade flavor. My friend got the Fangria blood bag and I got the O+ cocktail. So creative and delicious! When we were done with the meal and drinks, my friend ordered the tea leaf reading. It was cool but not what I expected. Essentially you receive a QR code to read your leaves once you finish your tea. My friend's future looks bright so we can't complain, but there are probably better tea reading options in the French Quarter. I enjoyed the vampire cafe. I would come back to show more people, but I'm not sure I would come back alone. The novelty might be lost on me if I came alone, but it would be nice to share it with someone else who loves vampires! read more
