Petunias Restaurant

Loved this place. I would love to know how the milk punch is made. Again, I love this place. Worth the wait. Petunias Restaurant is the best place to eat in New Orleans. Worth the wait and the milk punch was to die for. If you are in a hurry, don't bother go to McDonalds. This place rocks!

Just because stars eat there doesn't mean the food is good but the last time I was there Reese Witherspoon was at the next table.

Great crepes, great french toast but you better make reservations or you'll never get in.

A fun choice in NOLA.

i lived i NOLA for years and still visit when I can. Petunias is one of the few places that insisted on taking friends that visited. I always went for breakfast/brunch. The wait staff is anything but rude and if you timely service, New Orleans is the wrong place for you. About the only reason anyone wouldn't like this place, is if they were homophobic. Anyway, Maw Maw's cajun breakfast and a Brandy Milk Punch, is an absolute must!

Petunia's is slightly off the beaten path, but worth remembering how to get back!! The brunch is incredible. There is usually a waiting line so be prepared. It is well worth it. One of my favorites is Maw Maw's Cajun breakfast. It is a bowl filled with rice, eggs, spicy sausage and potatoes. My other favorite dish is the Pan Pardou. This is a delectable version of French toast. Other entrees include Eggs Benedict and a variety of enormous crepes. The cocktails available compliment each dish. The prices are very reasonable. The service is excellent and colorful. This place should not be missed.
