About Broussard's
A French Quarter restaurant at 819 Conti Street with weekend-focused hours and walk-in availability. Limited weekday service (Monday and Thursday evenings only) makes it a practical backup when heritage Creole institutions are fully booked, though the absence of chef credentials or signature dishes positions it as a neighborhood option rather than a destination booking.

Current verified hours are Monday 3–9 PM, Tuesday closed, Wednesday closed, Thursday 3–9 PM, Friday 9 AM–9 PM, Saturday 9 AM–9 PM, Sunday 9 AM–3 PM.

Broussard's functions as a dependable French Quarter fallback when reservations at Bayona or Antoine's prove difficult. Walk-in availability is typical, especially during weekday evenings, while those two require advance planning, Bayona for Susan Spicer's New American reputation, Antoine's for its 180-year pedigree. If you prioritize ease of booking over culinary distinction, Broussard's delivers French Quarter convenience without the wait. For special occasions with higher expectations, Rib Room offers a more polished steakhouse experience, while Bistro at the Maison de Ville provides intimate, white-tablecloth service in a smaller room.
Weekend brunch seekers will find Broussard's 9 AM–9 PM Friday and Saturday hours more accommodating than Commander's Palace's 11:30 AM start or the prix-fixe structure at Arnaud's. The Sunday 9 AM–3 PM window is shorter than most competitors, so plan accordingly. For a quicker, lower-stakes meal, Killer Poboys at Erin Rose offers walk-up counter service two blocks away. Broussard's works best as a neighborhood anchor for visitors who want to stay central without navigating Uptown or the Warehouse District, just don't expect the same level of culinary ambition or service polish that defines New Orleans' celebrated dining institutions.
