Busy place. We were at the bar but it still took the two bar attendants time to get our order. Since we were only there for the vampire speakeasy ticket and password we just ordered the blood bag. It came in two flavors. One sangria and the other vodka with cranberry juice. Both were more warm than they should be. Disappointing. You have to ask for the ticket and password to the speakeasy. It's located in the back of Fritzels European Jazz club. But by the time we got there, the speakeasy was at capacity that they could let in and we discovered they had a $20 cover. We decided to spend our money elsewhere. The Vampire Cafe has some charm for a goth setting. The Vampire speakeasy was a disappointment. We were not told about the mandatory 20% gratuity. That was shocking given the speed of the wait staff. read more

Ambiance: Historic & moody/dark/spooky themed bar in the French Quarter with a Vampire theme that serves amazing food & drinks! We had the best time sitting at the bar! Our bartender was super friendly & a conversationist with great drink recommendations. This is the perfect spot for a pre-ghost tour cocktail, date night, themed outing, or just grabbing a cocktail. The shrimp & grits were delicious - the sauce was almost like a braised beef or teriyaki style & super unique! You have to get the blood bags for the fun & photos! Lots of fun themed cocktails, wine, beers, & N.A. options. Highly recommend for a fun experience for anyone who likes spooky things! read more

The Vampire Cafe is a cute little spot with inside and outside sidewalk seating. It has a chic style, revolving around vampires, but tastefully done. The service was great. The staff get you everything that you need and check in frequently. The food was good. There is a small array of food. We both got the Vampire burger. Slightly tangy, and served with a side of home made chips. We ordered the B- and A+ drinks which were good. You can also order cocktails in blood bags as well for the full experience. read more

Great staff and a beautiful interior! We stopped in just for a drink to say we had one at the Vampire Cafe. Both of our drinks were excellent. I got the blood bag, Vampire Vodka Pomegranate Lemonade. It was great, I probably drank the whole thing in 5 minutes. My boyfriend got the B+ and loved it as well. The bartenders were great. We really weren't hungry to get food but enjoyed just popping in for a quick drink. All the food around us looked great though. The interior is what's fabulous here. The decor even at the bar is beautiful. The ceilings are gorgeous. Make sure to take a minute and look around while you're here! read more

The atmosphere was super nice, very much so giving interview with a vampire. The waiter was quick and helpful. The food was seasoned and cooked well for the most part, it was a bit pricey for what you receive, I had the salmon over potatoes, which were great, but the green beans on the side came to us hard, cold and bland. The star of the show for us was the blood bags! They tasted great and were really fun to experience read more

Visiting the French Quarter with two coworkers in tow, neither of whom had been to NO before. We were welcomed and sat at the bar and had Zach as our bartender. He was so knowledgeable as well as hilarious that he really made our whole night. The burgers were also some of the best I've ever eaten. The restaurant itself is cozy but fun. You definitely know you're not in a typical restaurant. While the place was full, we found the bar to be most accommodating. Would definitely recommend. Ask for Zach! read more

We stopped by the Vampire Café in New Orleans for brunch, fulfilling my wife's wish after my morning adventure standing in line for merch. On the way, I had a great chat with an Uber driver from upstate New York who works for an educational foundation and drives Uber to make ends meet--a nice unexpected connection. When I arrived, I was lucky to get a seat quickly since the place is small and often has a bit of a wait. I wasted no time and ordered a Cabernet Sauvignon and chicken and waffles. The dish was so fresh it felt like they sourced the chicken from the alley out back--funny, but true! It was absolutely delicious and hit the spot. Great vibes, great food, and a memorable brunch experience. If you're in New Orleans, it's worth a visit! read more

It was everything anyone could've wanted from a vampire cafe My friend and I went for her birthday and she even received a complimentary birthday shot! Our server was so sweet and informative. The people there were all so kind. From the hostess up front, to our server, and even the guys who brought us our food!!!! The food was so delicious. We got the fried deviled eggs and while I am not usually a fan of deviled eggs these were delicious! 7/10 I got the blackened seafood platter which is an appetizer but was sooo yummy served with a side of dipping sauce! 7/10 My friend got the burger with freshly made potato chips. I can only speak on the chips and they were crunchy and salty perfection! 9/10 Now the "death by chocolate cake" I can't say one negative thing. exactly what you want in a chocolate cake.

We were very excited to try this place as it was recommended to us, but we waited 50 minutes for avocado toast, French toast, scrambled eggs and a Gator Po'Boy. We noticed other tables sat after us were getting their food before ours. They forgot our eggs entirely. The waitress gave us a 15% discount for waiting almost an hour. We expected it to be a little more visually extravagant, but it wasn't. Waiting almost an hour for a couple very basic dishes wasn't pleasant. Other than that, yeah the restaurant was cool... nice decor.... read more

I didn't get photos but it was a lovely place. It was a miracle we were able to get a table so quick during one of the festivals. Staff was mostly lovely. Our waitress took longer than we like, but it was understandable with it being busy and dinner rush. Like most places in New Orleans, there isn't a kid menu but still plenty of choices. We did the charcuterie board, baked Brie and the blackened trio for the kids to share (we had 4 with us). The blackened trio was a really tiny portion of shrimp, gator and salmon. The brie was great and we got extra bread with it. The board was perfect and the kids liked picking at all the stuff on it. I had ordered the gumbo, which I had been craving. It was really disappointing. It was cold and tasted like no seasoning was used. I mentioned it to the waitress and she told me to add salt. When I asked why it was cold, she just shrugged and walked off. We attempted to ask for other drinks besides water and never got them. I think we might have had a better experience with a different waitress. I feel like because we were automatically being charged 20% gratuity, she just didn't care. The hostess however was amazing and so sweet. She got coloring pages for the kids. read more

Because I love all things Vampire I was really looking forward to trying this place but was very disappointed. It really lacks the vampire theme, the staff is not friendly or attentive and they are disorganized. I told the waitress the drink I wanted and said in the blood bag, one of the other servers brings me the drink in a cup. I say I am sorry I thought this came in a blood bag, he says very dry no only xyz comes in the blood bag and walks away. Then we had to ask 3 times about our appetizer as it seems they forgot about us. About 40 Mins later they finally bring it out and no apology for the wait Save your time and money, with all the cool things in orleans and see this place is def skip able. read more

Really cool concept. A bit old school feel allowing for a mild vampire concept that is quite fun. There were 3 kids and 3 adults. We had 4 burgers, caprese salad and shrimp and grits. The kids ate the burgers so all seemed fine there. I had the Dracula, which had blue cheese, a bacon jam and some other things. It was really good! It is on the pricey side but it's Nee Orleans. I would get it again. The other 2 dishes were also apparently really good. We all finished everything. The potato chips that come with the burger are home made. They were a little overcooked for some but good for me. While their menu is limited, I would absolutely go back. It was a fun concept and the food was good. read more

For a vampire Café I expected it to be a little bit more dark and mysterious, but I loved the theme! They only had two drinks that were in the vampire blood bags, disappointing. We did the elephant garlic, which was confit and it was delicious! It came with four large elephant chunks of garlic and three pieces of buttered toast. I definitely could ward off some vampires with this. Inside was very small and not a ton of seating. Each of the servers did have a vampire theme going on which was pretty fun. read more

After passing by here one evening and thinking 'oh this looks cool,' I came back for lunch shortly after they opened on a Friday. I figured if I go for lunch it will be easier to get in and less crowded inside. I was greeted by a girl with long dark hair dressed in themed attire. She had a weird vibe. I asked about the vampire cafe vs apothecary and if they are connected. With attitude I hear 'same chef, different menu!' I asked if they had any vegetarian friendly options to which she went through the menu to show me. I thought about maybe just getting a blood bag drink at the bar. She then says 20% gratuity, is that OKAY?? I was a bit surprised by that even if I got a $9 virgin drink (basically watered down juice). You are pretty much paying for the novelty of the bag. By then I was hungry so I mentioned I'd like a table to dine. I was seated and then ignored for maybe 15-20 min. No hello or smile from anyone. Finally an older gentleman with glasses came by with water. I asked about the drink menu and his suggestion on whether I should get the blood bag or try the B- cocktail? All he heard was blood bag and off he went to get it. I had to stop him and say excuse me! I didn't order yet I'm just asking about the menu. Ugh to make it easier I just got the blood bag. My friend & I ordered the vegetarian Thai red curry. This took FOREVER to come out. We were never checked on or acknowledged. We asked our server for the bill in advance since we were running late & had to catch a flight. Trying to expedite service, we thought to pay before the meal came. Another 15-20 min and nothing. I had to flag down another server to ask again for the bill because our server was wandering around folding napkins and hanging by the bar. So frustrating! The curry eventually came out. Hearty and filling with rice and tofu, it came out piping hot. We didn't even have a chance to try it and the hostess runs over asking how it was. Overall, the curry was delicious. The blood bag drink had nothing to it other than it coming in the bag. Actually hard to drink out off once you get to the halfway point. While it's cute inside, I didn't sense any vampire theme other than 'blood bag' drinks and a few bats on the wall. It looked more medieval & pirate like to me. Service is extremely slow and frustrating. A bit expensive too. Roughly $43 for the curry & virgin blood bag drink. There is no sense of urgency and/or follow up on customers. I can't believe there is a mandatory 20% gratuity when the service is this horrible. I'd say if you decide to go, make sure to block out 3-4 hours for lunch given how slow they operate and hope you get a different server! read more

Heard about this place prior to my trip and as someone who just can't resist a gimmick I absolutely had to visit! I came in and was promptly greeted and shown to a table during the late lunch time period around 1:30pm on a weekday. The place is absolutely gorgeous with the funniest touches in the bathroom. I loved how all their cocktails with named after the blood types, however the B+ cocktail I got to go at the end of my meal was by far the worst cocktail I've ever encountered and rivals some of the awful things I've erroneously mixed up myself at home. That said, the AB+ cocktail was absolutely perfect! So your mileage may vary depending upon what you like. For food I ordered the burrata which came with fresh grape tomatoes and artichokes from a can that were so salty I couldn't eat more than a bite of them. At least the burrata itself and the grape tomatoes were great so I'm overlooking the awful artichokes. I also got the vampire burger and it was good, no complaints, came exactly as expected, but it did come with a side of homemade chips that I was excited about, but they weren't salted at all so it was like eating bland fried potatoes so I ended up not eating them. If I rated the place on food and drinks alone, I would probably be leaving a 2 or 3 star review since everything seemed so hit or miss, but like I said, I love a good gimmick and the interior was truly beautiful and I enjoyed the themed out menus and funny little signs as well. read more

Located in the Kimpton Hotel Fontenot, it is actually a nice restaurant that has a lot of charm…read more Located away from the nose and bustle of Bourbon Street, we had a peaceful dinner that is not fried or wholly unhealthy (i.e. greasy). The presentation of the food came was amazing. We ordered the linguine and added meatballs, which was well worth it. We also ordered the shrimp & grits, which included Brussels sprouts. Boy, it was sure nice to get some vegetables in my stomach after eating all that yummy fried food during our stay! All in all, both dishes were delicious. It is a little on the pricey side, but after several days of eating in the touristy area of the French Quarter, this was truly a welcome change. Service was polite and attentive. I always appreciate the staff's efforts by making simply making eye contact and smiling (which they did). Seems trivial but I think those small things says a lot about a business. I would recommend this restaurant even if you are not a guest of the hotel.

The ambiance is amazing, plus velvet, emerald and sapphire tone, glitzy, and feels like a good photo op. The bar and cocktail menu looked expansive. However, I was going to be hopping on a meeting, so I could not partake, unfortunately. A group got this impressive tower of espresso martini and everyone seemed to be enjoying their drinks! I wanted that New Orleans seafood but had late lunch, so I opted for just the crispy gulf shrimp on cheesy grits. I really wished I can hungrier because the dish ended up being very heavy. The shrimp were nice and crispy. The charred Brussels sprouts gave me the false sense that this was a healthy dish because I was getting my veggie intake. The bacon jam was sweet and went well with the Brussels sprouts. I loved the combination of the cheesy grits and the Crystal hot sauce. It was the perfect amount of both and some how led me to understand why Americans put hot sauce on their Mac n cheese and some other cheesy dishes after 30 years of not really understanding the attraction to that combo. I got the marinated olives to go so I could have a little snack later. They were just stuff I feel I could get in a jar... not really sure if I could justify the price.

We also got some great restaurant recommendations from Brian...or was it other Brian...LOL! Definitely worth stopping by either before or at the end of your night. Or spend the whole night!

Words simply cannot express how much I continue to be blown away by the exquisite quality of food,…read morebeverage, service, and uncommon hospitality demonstrated and perfectly executed by this New Orleans establishment. My wife and I visited on our first NoLa trip together about 4 years ago and make it a point to go every time now. Our first time we stopped in for lunch at the bar and had an excellent experience, and decided to return. We came back on the next trip just to grab a drink and a snack before heading down for dinner in the Bywater. The bartender (Chris) gave a bunch of recommendations for places to visit that way, all of which we have done in the past few trips and have loved. But it's this past trip where we were truly blown away. We were in town for JazzFest and after walking back to the French Quarter, we were thinking about food options and decided to take a gamble to see if we could get a seat at the bar or maybe grab a drink for the road before getting food somewhere else. The bar was full when we got there around 8/8:15, but they had a no show and could serve us, as long as we ordered quickly and were ok with the check hitting the table right at 9PM. Given our slightly (perhaps generous) inebriated state from being at the festival all day and being slightly underdressed, we felt this was quite a kind accommodation. With the clear expectations of needing to get our orders in quickly, we wasted no time making a decision on our drinks and a few food options. Despite this need for a quick turn around, at no time did we feel rushed. The food and drinks were absolutely perfect, as they always are. But what impressed us most was the staff. At no point did the hostess or wait staff seem annoyed by us, despite us parachuting in from a music festival and looking like sunburn and poor decisions. By managing expectations on the front end, we never felt rushed despite the need for a quick turn around. They were all lovely, professional, and as cordial as if we were regulars with standing reservations once a week. In terms of atmosphere, it is always perfect: lively and fun for a date night, dinner with friends/family, or just a nice drink before a night out and about. I truly cannot begin to explain how much I love this restaurant and every experience I've had there. The awards and accolades this establishment (a sincere and lofty term Jewel of the South truly deserves) have been awarded are beyond well earned. Restaurants around the country should aspire to provide the quality of food, service, and overall hospitality Jewel of the South provides on a regular basis. It will continue to be our first and foremost recommendation to anyone we know who is going to New Orleans. Bravo! We shall return!

Charming patio, and beautiful intimate interior with just 4 seats at the gorgeous bar and about 6 small tables inside. The cocktail menu is seasonal, and this spring, many were tea infused. I had the Columbina with gin, jasmine tea pear verdita, boomsma and lemon, and my husband had the Jewel sazerac - both exquisite. We shared 5 small plates - the crawfish bread - crawfish inside a crispy, flaky croissant like bread - OMG deliciousness. Then the tufa crudo - so fresh and flavorful, the crab tartlets - fine, but not as good as the other dishes; excellent salad, and the broccolini in a housemade horseradish goat cheese sauce - wow; one of the best broccolini dishes we have had. The carrots looked amazing, too. What a treat!

I discovered a twist on the French 75 cocktail that I love (champagne, lemon juice, simple syrup and gin) when the menu offered a choice of gin or cognac. After looking it up I found out that the cognac variation is called a French 125. Loved it and now a new favorite!

While the Sazerac wasn't invented here, this is arguably its most iconic home, a place where New Orleans cocktail history comes to life. I would use this version as your gold standard when dining out in New Orleans and looking for a perfect Sazerac. We enjoyed watching bartender Rachel craft each drink. Rye whiskey, Peychaud's Bitters, and sugar are stirred in a small pitcher with ice. The serving glass is chilled, then emptied, and finished with an absinthe rinse along the rim. The cocktail is strained into the glass and topped with a lemon peel. The atmosphere makes the experience even better. The murals, the history, and the energy of the room give it a sense of occasion that you do not get at most bars. We had such a great time sitting at the bar that my wife and I each finished two and a half Sazeracs, which tells you everything you need to know.

It had the perfect mix of sweet heat and flavor. Both drinks were so good we ended up ordering two rounds while sitting at the rotating bar listening to a live jazz band.

The Apothecary was the cure. We grabbed seats mid bar and before we even finished settling in, there were waters waiting on the bar. That simple move already separated this place from the chaos outside. It's hospitality in its cleanest form: welcome in, take a breath, we got you. Inside is low light and old time apothecary mood, menus like a spellbook, but it's not gimmicky. The bartenders move like they've done the reps. Calm. Precise. No frantic showboating, no syrupy cover ups, no sloppy pours even with the parade energy banging on the door. We ordered two and they were both dead on. Alchemist Elixir: pea flower gin, elderflower liqueur, fresh lemon. It shows up pale violet with an orchid on the rim and yes it's pretty, but it's also disciplined. Floral without tasting like perfume. Bright without being sour. A drink that makes you slow down. Plus a magic chemists surprise. Corpse Reviver #2: local gin, Lillet Blanc, Grand Marnier, absinthe, fresh lemon. Cold, crisp, citrus first, then the herbal edge and just enough absinthe to remind you what city you're in. Served in a textured coupe with a cherry skewer, details handled like they actually matter. Outside, the streets were selling amnesia in plastic souvenir cups. Inside, The Apothecary was serving adults. Let Bourbon Street keep the grenades. Give me the anecdote .

It was also quieter than a typical bar, which made it feel refined and intimate; you can actually enjoy a real conversation while soaking in the beauty of the space. The drink menu is short but tasteful, with a wide range of profiles. With an exceptionally skilled bartender (sad I did not catch his name), every cocktail was perfectly balanced and beautifully executed. He was also happy to craft off-menu drinks by request.

The actual space itself is moody, dimly lit with red accents throughout. It has a polished feel and the environment is incredibly intimate. Our waitress was very nice and made ordering with a party of 10 seamless. For our order we got a banana Negroni and a glass of white wine. The wine was great, crisp and sweet. The Negroni was strong and bold with the banana peeking through the drink with flavor. They also offer a few bites off their menu but we opted not to grab one there. The whole experience was fun and everyone liked their drinks. It's a great place to relax and get some drinks but the experience with the hostess was a bit off-putting. A great option if you're looking for a quiet, more refined cocktail lounge to enjoy a drink in NOLA.
