We ate here twice for breakfast during our stay in New Orleans. Its a busy place and the service is slow, so its not someplace to drop into for a quick bite if you have a schedule to keep. But the food is really good - we were all big fans of the farmers omelette and the strawberry pancakes!! Good coffee too.

Very friendly service. I ordered a cappuccino and the spinach and feta wrap. Both were excellent. Service got a little slow when the restaurant filled up, but I was in no hurry so that didn't bother me. I would definitely eat here again.

Amazing Eggs Florentine! And the hash browns are second to none! You would be crazy not to come here. Staff is very friendly and service is quick!

We stumbled across this place while walking through the French Quarter on Sunday morning. My Hand Grenade-induced hangover would not allow me to walk much further without risk of passing out, so once I saw this place, there was no hesitation. Add to the fact that the cafe serves shrimp and grits...I was sold. The service was great - the waitress was very attentive and asked where we were from (visiting from Boston but both native Southerners, so we already have a love affair with New Orleans). My boyfriend and I both ordered the shrimp and grits, which I accompanied with a sweet tea and he accompanied with a Bloody Mary. The meal was absolutely delicious and hit the spot. The grits were cheesy and creamy, and the shrimp were HUGE! The brown sauce they put on there added to the dish's delectability...yum! The price was also great - around $30 or so for two shrimp and grits as well as beverages. When we were brought the check, I found it a bit odd that there was "suggested" gratuity listed at the bottom. It wasn't added to the total but was there as more of a reminder. I tipped the waitress well as she was great, but I don't like the fact that the restaurant needed to give its diners recommendations on tips. Oh well, maybe they were tired of getting short changed from the groups of bachelor parties who had spent all of their $1 bills at the strip club the night before. In any case, I'll be sure to visit this place next time I'm in New Orleans. They had so many things on the menu at a great price that I'm eager to try!

Ahhhhhh New Orleans, so much to eat, so much to drink .... but not a lot of really don't think about breakfast that often, at least I don't when I am in the Big Easy. Loved tho splice, had the Famers Breakfast It think, sausage, grits, two eggs over easy ... wasn't stuffed, but was fulfilled and the food was good.

This place was right across from our hotel, the W so we kind of stumbled in. So glad we did. I had traditional eggs Benedict and they far beyond diner quality. The service is awesome. Will definitely go back when I return to NOLA.

This place was excellent! Food was delicious, especially the Big Easy Breakfast. Some of the best pancakes I've had in a long time. Only give it a 4 star though because our waitress the first time we went was a bit of a crackhead. Otherwise everyone else has been nice whenever we've gone back.

What's great about this little breakfast and lunch place is that the food is not greasy. That's an odd way to start a review, but this is New Orleans after all, where deep fat reigns supreme. I had an omelet with prosciutto and grilled asparagus tips, and even the hash browns were tasty and light. Great coffee, and the food is served on china with silverware, not paper plates and plastic forks as evidenced elsewhere for the same prices. Sweet waitresses too!

Cory B.

This place is just incredible, the ambience is totally chill when compared to a lot of the French Quarter and the food is awesome. The trick, according to the extremely nice girl that waited on me, is to get there on or before 8 in the morning as they start getting really busy around 9. As a person who really needs my caffeine, it was really cool that they also give you a to-go cup for your coffee. Highly recommend this place for anyone looking for a unique and tasty breakfast experience.

Let's talk about GREAT pancakes! This place is a must eat NOLA breakfast joint. Everything was delicious in this little twenty table restaurant just a few blocks off Canal Street in the French Quarter. The staff was very friendly, even offering water to guests as we waited in line for a table. This place is defiantly worth the twenty minute wait. On my two recent trips I have enjoyed the Big Easy Breakfast which was way too much food and included two eggs, sausage patties, bacon, hash browns, toast, and two pancakes. I also indulged in the Eggs Benedict on scratch-made biscuits. Both were excellent; but if you made me choose one I would go for the pancakes. Solution; go two days and try them both!

My fiancÃ© suggested we go here for brunch, and boy what a great idea. Not only was the coffee amazing but so was the meal. And josh was a great waiter!

This place was perfect for my next day hang over meal. They have the best Hash Browns, perfectly greasy to soak up all the alcohol I consumed. The food took a little longer than I would have liked it to considering there was only one other table in the restaurant(25 minutes). I asked for a scramble and the chef didn't know what to do. ..so basically you order straight from the menu only. Nothing too special about this one.

My husband picked this spot for breakfast because it had good reviews and was a quick walk from our hotel. We weren't planning to have our socks blown off, just to refuel for the day. Holy mother- I ordered a bacon Bloody Mary (because vacation) and the Bayou Benedict: a biscuit topped with boudin, a poached egg, spicy hollandaise and ham. I'm usually not a member of the clean plate club, but I was that day. The food was so good we came back again and both ordered the Benedict. It's a winter special, so grab it while you can!

Tray R.

What a great little spot. The food was good, simple breakfast food but the service was spectacular! Ophelia was our waitress and she was so sweet and attentive even with a super busy place. All the servers seemed attentive. Our drinks were never empty and she even brought us full to go cups of tea without asking! Sometimes it's the little things. Great spot.

Ok, so the grits were the best I had in NOLA, but NO GLOVES being used by cooks. I watched two men touch their shirts, dip hand in a sanitizer bucket, then use hands to put bacon and arrange pancakes in the window on plates. Just watch...you can see them back there clearly. I didn't eat my biscuit as I watched the guy handle it out of a warmer or microwave. Get your gloves on and you got a great thing going on. Waitress was nice and I tried the boudin sausage and I loved it with syrup!

Great pick for breakfast in New Orleans!! Friends had come here on the day of arrival while I was still in transit - loved it and had nothing but great things to say about the Shrimp & Grits, the delicious coffee and the Healthy Breakfast, too. (I know, I know) So a few days later, the three of us decided to check it out since service was prompt & delightful and also because the line out the door (during Essence Music Fest) was not quite as long as some other establishments on the same block. Our waitress was SO great about helping us customize our orders! See, I had fallen in love with so many of the pix on the Yelp mobile app that we all began craving items that were no longer on the menu. Good thing for us, they will make whatever your heart desires!! My Seafood Omelet was LOADED with Shrimp, Crawfish, Crabcake, veggies and cheese - amazingness to be precise! Had it alongside the hasbrowns with gravy on top but the biscuit on the side! Yes, you heard me right. Now let's talk about the mimosa - fresh squeezed OJ and champs, with a splash of peach flavor in a big ol' glass. They don't do anything small in this city apparently. You will leave here fealing fat & happy :) I highly recommend Cafe Fleur de Lis!

Very nice casual breakfast / lunch venue. There is a reason for the line. Great po-boy selection. Perfecty runny eggs benny.
(5)
Fred V.

I've eaten at this place several times lately and have to say it's a great place for breakfast and really wonderful place to get a lunch poboy! So here are my favorites. For breakfast get either the Fleur d Lis Omlet... Has crawfish and is GREAT! (Especially if you have a hangover. :-). My next favorite breakfast is the Big Easy... Pancakes, bacon, sausage, eggs toast... Perfect if you want a traditional breakfast like your grandma makes. For lunch try the Shrimp Poboy or if you're feeling adventurous try the Alligstor Sausage Poboy....really good. Also, don't forget the French fries, they are fresh cut!!!!! Can't go wrong with this place cher!

Food is delicious and largely portioned. There is sometimes a wait list but they are great at dealing with it by calling you when you're table is ready so you are able to wonder near by while you wait. Service was great.

Great combination of Super friendly service with a delicious breakfast! Enjoyed their signature omelet. I will go back to this place many more times in the future! Next time I will get the iced chocolate coffee and a Bloody Mary. Perfect place to go!

The Big Easy Breakfast did not disappoint! Light fluffy buttermilk pancakes, bacon and sausage (2 of each) plus hash Browns and toast. My husband and I split this as light eaters and we're well satisfied. Our server was friendly and prompt, and the coffee cup looked more like a bowl then a mug - no refill needed but offered along with a to go cup if desired. Our server was friendly and prompt making it easy to say we will be back!

Um, 5 stars and here's why: Customer service: promptly greeted, my party and I were told good morning by the cashier, a cook, and two busboys. Our waters were promptly filled and we were asked if we needed any additional condiments or silverware. Nice. Speed: Cashier was prompt. Food was brought out within 10 minutes. Portions: Is it a southern thing to have portions the size of your head?! My mom and I SHARED the Big Easy Entree for breakfast: eggs, bacon, 2 pieces of sausage, two pancakes (omg), hash browns, and two pieces of toast. Where they do that at?!!!!!! N'awlins! Holla. Food: The pancakes were the best I ever had. How in THE world do they get them so fluffy, light, and the perfect golden brown? Oh, and powdered sugar on top, too! The hash browns were perfectly seasoned, by the way. Prices: $10 for the Big Easy entree! Can't beat that price. Tourists, come hungry...leave full and satisfied.

Very cute & very New Orleans! I'm not a Bloody Mary person, but after having a sip of my boyfriend's, this place could persuade me to change my mind! He also had the Fleur De Lis omlette, which was out of this world! Two thumbs up! My eggs Benedict was divine, especially the house made biscuit! Fantastic coffee as well. I took off one star because our table was a little dirty and it's a bit crowded but overall as great place that I would highly recommend!

I love spending time in the quarter when its peaceful, its like a whole different place than at night and reminds me of afternoons spent roaming through streets in Europe. Since breakfast is a perfect way to start a peaceful french quarter day, I've been searching for a good breakfast spot with some healthy eating options. Cafe Fleur De Lis hits the spot perfectly. I would recommend ordering the big easy breakfast or the healthy breakfast platter. The hash browns and pancakes are delicious so if your meal doesn't come with this, add it on the side. The ambience is laid back, yet has character. Sit by the window to people watch on Chatres Street.

We stopped here for a snack. They have a very nice ambience. We ordered a side of grits and pancakes. The grits were amazing! I really enjoyed the food here

Oh what comedy there is to be found in a restaurant door that won't close by itself. I was endlessly amused watching the tables closest to the entrance fight with that door! Cue the hungry customers walking in and trying to figure out where they needed to go to get their names on the waiting list. They inevitably left the door open, and then one of the patrons closest to it would stand up and angrily close the door...just as the next customer and his party was walking in and the door was left open again. Haha good times. Yes it was chilly out, so I don't blame them for being upset. Fortunately, a solid breakfast rewarded them for their angst. The blueberry pancakes are mysteriously delicious. Is crisp fluffiness an oxymoron? If it is, then oxymoronic pancakes are what I like, and these were closest to an elusive stack of Ritz Carlton pancakes that rank as my best I've ever had. And this may start a war with my fav dining partner, but I liked these better than Clinton St. Baking Co. in NYC. Everything else was very good not great: tasty hash browns, just fine over easy eggs, and run of the mill sausage. I would call it high quality diner food, and all of it barely held together with service that was nice but easily overwhelmed by a large crowd. So for a FQ breakfast this is well worth it...just make sure you leave the door open to start a little drama!

Such a disappointment! After days of eating heavy, we wanted a light breakfast, so we ordered egg whites and a veggie omelette---that was cooked in BUTTER. It was disgusting and we could not eat it. We were so disappointed. There are so many other breakfast spots that are far superior. I recommend skipping this one!

I happened on the place when I was looking for lunch. (I should add I live here, so I was not staying at a hotel.). I ordered a bacon and blue cheese burger which came with either hash browns, fruit and some other option that I don't remember. I ordered the hash browns. When my food arrived, there were two very thin beef patties, cold bacon on top, and a little blue cheese. The burger was placed on some very greasy hash browns. I put napkins on the hash browns and they sucked up some of the grease. The bottom of the burger was inedible because of the grease the bottom of the bun had sucked up from the hash browns, and two thin patties....really? I think this is probably a great breakfast place, but I wouldn't recommend for lunch.

I had the the regular american breakfast. Why the 4 stars and not 3 stars like Ruby Slipper Cafe? The pancakes, they were absolutely delicious! It was buttery, crispy on the edge and so fluffy in the middle. I would definitely come back for the pancake! Everyone enjoyed the various breakfast food in my table, coffee was good and strong too.

Stopped here for breakfast recently and the food was damn good. I had a mango mimosa with breakfast and it was great, it didn't taste like they were using the cheapest champagne but something quality. My shrimp and grits were absolutely excellent, almost as good as NOLA. Service was a bit slow and the table and chairs are uncomfortable but the food makes up for it.

Laurie H.

Best breakfast ever! We ate at the hotel buffet and the quality and cost were horrible. Today we ventured out and tried Cafe Fluer and we were impressed. Quality food at a reasonable price. You have to try the biscuits, they are amazing! And so is the French toast. Super cute cafe with a true New Orleans feel. Would have given 5 starts but service was slow. Other than that a definite must try!!

Was famished, this place looked cute. DH, my toddler and I went in and were welcomed. I was looking forward to a latte and a panini. I had to take my daughter back to change her diaper. On the way back I noticed a lot of silverware lying around. Then we had to walk around a ladder to get to the ladies room. Where when I started to change her diaper, several cockroaches came to visit. Nope. Done. Cancelled order and left. If they are in the bathroom, they are everywhere. Gross.

Morning Burger (egg and hash browns on it) was super tasty. Service, and seating were quick even though they were very busy. A few locals mixed in so you know they aren't just serving tourist tastes. Many of the other meals looked good on other peoples tables, but I could only eat one.

Great shrimp and grits and good service. This hidden cafe in the middle of the FQ is a nice getaway from the chaos. Food is definitely reasonably priced and the quality is good.

I visited the CafÃ© Fleur De Lis several years ago. Alone in New Orleans, wandering the streets in the early morning hours, I chose the restaurant because it was cute, and having lived in Louisville, KY, the Fleur De Lis name seemed like a bit of home. It was a great decision! Despite the amount of time that has passed, I've never forgotten the Fleur de Lis omelet; it was so good. I'd jump at the chance to visit NOLA, again, just to be able to return to the cafÃ© for breakfast.

Best stop ever for breakfast!!!! Wait time is nice. They'll text you when your table is ready so you'll have to shop at Earth Oddessy across the street!!! The restaurant is cozy and the waitress is so down to earth!! Love this place!

Excellent shrimp and grits for breakfast! A nice spicy barbecue taste to it. My husband had the Boudin omelette and it was good but the boudin wasn't crisp and was and he thinks that would've been better, but the hashbrowns were phenomenal.

On our way for some Beignet's and got sidetracked. Nice atmosphere, kind of fun and loud. Good food, not special when it comes to the breakfast staples. Lisa enjoyed their house Grapefruit Mimosa I got the Big Easy breakfast.. in the future I would substitute the not so great sausage patties for more bacon. Big, soft fresh biscuits. They allowed me to substitute french toast for the pancakes and that was a pretty delicious idea. The french toast is made using Po' Boy bread.. so it's a nice amount of crispy and chewy. Good coffee in large cups, strangely they have to take the cups away to re-fill them. A good experience and we liked our server quite a bit.

Pros: the eggs Benedict was amazing and so was the French toast. I would recommend them both highly. The service was pretty good! Cons: the hostess looked like she hated her life, the air conditioning was very bad, the sausage was nasty. Overall, I would definitely recommend this place based on the food!!

3 words: Shrimp and grits. Recently vacationed to NOLA and the food was definitely the highlight of the trip. This little gem was definitely a frontrunner when it came to eateries. Located right across from our hotel, it's a small, but charming restaurant that specializes in bangin ass breakfast. We started with delicious strawberry and peach mimosas. My friend doesn't like to try new things and went with the shrimp and grits and had no regrets whatsoever. I love trying new things and loved every bite of the cheddar cheesy delicious dish served with a warm homemade biscuit. My friend went with eggs benedict but with a NOLA twist served on warm biscuits and she got the bread pudding which isn't really my thing but it was great too. The service was great and they gave us to go cups for our unfinished drinks. Take a trip to New Orleans if you aren't there already and get the shrimp and grits. Tell them Dom sent you. Jk don't they won't have any idea who I am...

I came to Cafe Fleur de Lis at the recommendation of a friend. She said to come have the pancakes or cheese grits, so of course I came and did neither. I opted instead for the shrimp and grits - my wife had eggs over easy, bacon, cheesy grits and toast. I did not like my shrimp and grits. The shrimp was overpowered by the taste of Worcestershire sauce. I do enjoy the flavor of Worcestershire but it detracted from the goodness of the cheese grits and definitely stole the show from what could have been some excellent gulf shrimp. My wife enjoyed her meal (and the grits were good!). Service was decent. Our check was only $23 so the prices were not bad. One of their special salads sounded intriguing - Cajun shrimp with watermelon and feta. If I had enough time left I might go back to try it...but with only a day and a half left in the city, I can't waste my time and risk a subpar meal when there's so much good eating left to do!!

Fantastic breakfast spot in the quarter and they serve breakfast ALL DAY!! Husband loved the Seafood Benedict. I loved the Sweet Cream pancakes (with blueberries). Absolutely some of the best pancakes. Ranks high with Pancake Pantry in Nashville. If you're in NOLA, this place is a MUST.

This place sparked my love for shrimp and grits! ...and bacon bloody marys. Yes, bacon bloody marys! Found this place with my handy Yelp app while wandering around New Orleans and so happy that I did. The inside is quite small so we did have to wait a few minutes for a table but it was definitely worth it. While standing in line I noticed a sign for bacon bloody marys so, of course, I had to try one... or two ;) They were amazing! Made with bacon flavored vodka, the perfect amount of spicy, and loaded with two strips of bacon, picked green beans and peppers. Their food menu is also great. Lots of unique items and everything is full of flavor. We ordered the shrimp and grits and pancakes (sweet potato I think). The shrimp and grits were amazing! Seriously, If you only try one thing here, you have to try the shrimp and grits! Loved this place so much that I ended up back here the next day... for more bacon bloody marys and shrimp and grits! (Can you tell I liked the shrimp and grits?)

Nice little cafe with good breakfast and friendly servers. Prices are reasonable for the area too. Server greeted me promptly but took a while to stop back and check on me once my meal was delivered. They offer coffee to go which is a nice touch. Would definitely go back again!

The Shrimp & Grits made me cry... more like weep... more like pass out to the ground, die, then go to heaven just to tell the Lord how good these Shrimp & Grits have been to me. After I took a plate to the mountain, two angels grabbed me by the arms and brought me back down to earth just so I could finish my plate. I had to lift my hand up in the air and praise the chef. YASSSSSSSS lollll. When I left New Orleans my aunt and I discussed our 2 favorite dishes from the whole trip and the Shrimp & Grits here are my #1. I remember every single bite that I took, and this dish here stayed in my soul (and waistline). Trust me on tis review.... get the Shrimp & Grits. Side Note: This restaurant is located on a street full of good shopping.

One of the best breakfasts I have ever had in my life! The spinach and feta wrap with hash browns and a biscuit is amazing. Friendly staff. If you are in NOLA, this is your breakfast spot!
(5)
Daryn P.

Fantastic! Been here twice in two day inNOLA and will be here the next two days. Bacon Mary is the way to go and the sweet cream pancakes are the best pancakes I've ever had (and I've had A LOT). Staff is super friendly and will give you as many mimosas as you can carry to go.
(5)
Laurel G.

Cinnamon roll pancakes were amazing!! They are warm and sweet with icing on top. Best pancakes I've ever eaten. Also had breakfast platter which was great! Eggs were perfect and the grits were gone fast. Others with us had the eggs Benedict and said it was the best they've tried.
(5)
A. J.

Saw so many raves for the shrimp and grits that I stopped by a couple of days ago for that. I have to say, maybe it's just not for me. It was drenched in this vinaigrette that made the whole plate overly acidic. The Bacon Bloody Mary (yes bacon) however, has given me a new fondness for the drink. The staff was friendly and hospitable. There was no wait time for a table. The menu looked good, I'll come back and try something else more breakfast like.

Camille P.

I stumbled across this place and decided to grab breakfast. The hosts texts you when your table is ready and I though that was pretty cool. I had a Bhaskar player that was pretty cool only thing is the space is extremely tight. But that's part of the Chartres street restaurant appeal. The strawberry mimosa was great and the waitstaff was pretty nice. only drawback is for such a basic breakfast and meal experience it is a bit pricey. Overall an ok experience.

Jeannie G.

This place has all the breakfast basics, so nothing really special. I ordered the 2 egg omelette with asparagus and prosciutto - the asparagus was tiny and did not contain any spears but the prosciutto was adequate. I do not eat bread so I asked for a substitute for my toast. The server refused any substitute saying that "it just comes out of the kitchen that way" - fine. There are maybe 11 tables in this very small space so she could have literally walked two paces to the cook and asked him for options - but I was told I could just not eat the toast. My husband had the seafood Benedict which was served on a biscuit instead of an English muffin so that was a unique offering. However, the hollandaise sauce was excessively citrusy. The food wasn't necessarily bad but overpriced for what it was and there are many better places in the French Quarter.

They have three types of Bloody Marys: shrimp, crawfish, and regular. The food's good. The space can get a little tight. Service is good.

I typically try to avoid going to places twice on my visits to unfamiliar cities, but this place & Sylvain have both made me bow down to the people in their kitchen and visit multiple times. My mom got something weird & basic, like scrambled eggs or something dumb, and she loved it. I got the eggs florentine and a mimosa and it was so banging I don't even understand. It's like the sun came out all over my taste buds. #hotdamn We were sat right up by the host stand and the ladies at the front were polite and funny, and unobtrusive. Our waiter John was a sweetheart and comically tall to be waiting on tables (but friendly and efficient when he does it!). Thank you Cafe Fleur de Lis, can't wait to see you later today for some breakfast!

Christina V.

This place is outstanding. Tucked on a quiet side street in the French quarter, we first walked into Cafe Beignet before being somewhat unimpressed & deciding to hop around the block to this place. What a GReAT decision! The place is fairly small, quaint older decor like you'd expect in a Nola coffee breakfast joint. My latte was excellent, & my husbands coffee had great flavor. We ordered the Fleur De Lis omelet (with crawfish), the spicy Boudin omelet (I wouldn't say it was spicy but it was fantastic) & were absolutely BLOWN AWAY by the Bananas Foster French Toast. The toast was excellent & the bananas, pecans & praline liqueur sauce just made everything sooo divine. I've literally never had such amazing French toast in my life! Ask for Bree, she's the best!

Great coffee, cute atmosphere, and amazing food! Bananas Foster French Toast gave me a new appreciation for breakfast. Ask for Bree she's the best!!

Jason B.

Perfect spot for breakfast. A group of us took a stroll over from the hotel and started our day off with a feast! Big cups of delicious coffee, boudin, and perfectly cooked eggs. This place is a hit. Decorated in light colors with some interesting art on the wall, the place has kind of a hipster vibe to it. But, not in the pretentious sense, more in the eclectic sense. The menu isn't huge, but is certainly comprehensive. I ordered this great eggs and boudin combo with grits. It was big, filling, and perfect. My permanent breakfast spot when I'm in town. Lost a star because, although very nice, server kept forgetting some things that we asked for...like water...and milk for coffee...I mean, nothing big, but c'mon man!
(4)
Daniele L.

Cute little spot. Really nice and attentive wait staff. Food comes out quickly and was delicious. The shrimp and grits were different than any I have tried before but I loved the flavor. My husband ordered the boudin omelette and it was fantastic too. We will have to be back to try the seafood Benedict because it looked amazing.

Mike E.

On the last morning of our trip we decided to walk around the French Quarter and pick out a place for a late breakfast. It looked nice and there wasn't too long of a line at Cafe Fleur De Lis so we decided to try it out. I was really hungry so I had the Big Easy Breakfast - "2 eggs cooked any style, bacon, sausage, 2 pancakes and a toast served with hash browns or grits." It was all pretty good, and was way more than I could eat. The hostess was awesome and our server was really nice. It's a fairly small place that feels very comfy once you settle in. I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a well above average breakfast or lunch.

Matt P.

Great breakfasts burrito and the cinnamon pancakes were awesome too. The hash-browns were salty and biscuit was okay.

Gabrielle M.

Excellent breakfast for the price point. We both enjoyed our omelets but the hash browns were nothing too special. The coffee was tasty and the bread pudding was a nice finish. We'd come back if there weren't so many other local options to try.

Donna D.

I really wanted some shrimp and grits for brunch and found this hole in the wall spot. From my experience those places are usually the best. It was fairly crowded but we were seated pretty quickly, however, they quickly forgot about us as well. Nonetheless, I ordered my shrimp and grits and was very disappointed. The sauce on top of the grits was a huge letdown. The flavors were terrible mixed with the shrimp and cheese grits. It tasted as if the sauce was spoiled... Way to lemony. It would probably pair well with grilled chicken and pasta but not on cheesy grits and shrimp. It would have been great if they eliminated the sauce. This was definitely not a win. When I'm back in NOLA, I've got to try somewhere else.

Kelsey W.

We met up with a couple friends for brunch on Memorial Day, and the service, food, and drinks were great!! Everything came out in a timely manner and was cooked well. The place is quite small, maybe 15 tables, and barely enough room to accommodate all of our plates (4 regular sized plates plus 2 smaller plates) plus drinks and waters. It was right around the corner from our hotel, which is why we chose it, and not too much of a wait, maybe 15 minutes. I would definitely go back if we're in the area again! Try their peach or strawberry mimosa!

Outstanding breakfast place. A real hole-in-the-wall that we would not have picked if not for the Yelp reviews. We had the breakfast wraps which were awesome, the breakfast combo (pancakes were the best) and the french toast (also great). Friendly staff and prices that were more than reasonable made this an easy five star.
(5)
Tamer A.

I'm writing about their new location at the edge of French Market, next to Louisiana Pizza Kitchen. Went with a large group & tasted a lot of the menu all at once. They poach those eggs with perfection for eggs Benedict. The coffee is awesome. They mix a delicious Bloody Mary. Chocolate chip pancakes are devine. Ambiance & decor is typical French quarter, but it is very clean. I'm going back until I go through the entire menu & more.
(5)
Ashley N.

Wow! Amazing food.... I had the big easy breakfast. It's a lot of food for the price. And those grits were divine, creamy and goody good. I also enjoyed the pancakes. Very cute spot in the French quarter. My waiter was a little off... Forgot a few things and was a little slow at getting them. No AC either, so on a hot day... It can get pretty toasty. Otherwise, delectable food! And highly recommended.

Steve L.

The owner of Fleur De Lis contacted me on Yelp soon after I posted my review to apologize and inform me of the steps he's planning to take to rectify the situation. Thanks for taking care of things and being responsive Charlie. The breakfast experience I had here was pretty okay. I enjoyed sitting near the kitchen and watching the cook pound out dish after dish without pause. I don't know how he worked in that hot kitchen with his beanie and long sleeves the entire time but it was inspiring to watch. My hash browns were made extra crispy just like I ordered them - a rare and very welcome treat. The sausage gravy for my biscuits was too salty though. My hungover friends seemed to enjoy their bacon bloody mary's very much.

Jasleen K.

Had the pancakes and were honestly not too impressed, almost tasted a bit raw. My friend had the shrimp and grits and the sauce for that was very tasty. Wouldn't return here but wasn't too bad either.

First of all this is a very small lovely quaint breakfast restaurant that has a lot of character. My wife and I are visiting New Orleans and staying local. we passed by decided to stop in. the service was fine and we tried two different breakfasts. I tried the spinach Florentine which was excellent. My wife had a basic breakfast eggs and hashbrowns which was good. We stopped in again the next day to try something different. I tried the eggs benedict which was very good, and my wife had french toast, and fresh fruit what she said excellent. Again, the service was very good the price was fair.
(4)
Gabriela C.

The staff was really nice and friendly! The food was good not great. I ordered the spinach feta wrap. Portions are very abundant, I couldn't finish my wrap. It came with a home made biscuit, that was good, I just wish they'd had a better jam selection. Only flavored were grape and mixed fruits from a small plastic container that looked pretty synthetic. There's no wifi.

Mel D.

My wife and I got the feeling that they couldn't be bothered with us. We are 40+ affluent creoles with executive jobs and know how to behave in a restaurant. The Caucasians were treated exceptionally well while we were ignored and our order was mistreated. My wife order a Bloody Mary that was never delivered but the white people that came in after us received a Bloody Mary. This went on with several tables were there were Caucasian people who were treated very well while we were not. It's a shame. I want every minority who visits the French Quarter to know that they are not welcome in the Cafe Fluer-de-lis!!!

Claire B.

Amazing breakfast had here, pancakes were cooked to perfection. We all three had the Big Easy Breakfast. Lots of food, all awesome except for the sausage...nothing to write home about. I opted for the grits which were some of the best I have ever eaten in.my.life . My husband and mother got the hashbrowns. They had a kick and were pretty dang delicious. We all had mimosas, all very tasty. Two of us got the flavored ones (strawberry and peach). I was worried the fruit would over power the mimosa but they were light and perfect. The ONE downside is the cramped quarters in the restaurant. Definitely not a choice for those who are claustrophobic. We will come back to this place every trip to NOLA.

Silvio S.

This is another spot I must hit every time I visit in Nola. So delicious and cute and unassuming. The food is AMAZING. The pancaked are heavenly, seriously get some for your table and share you would be stupid not too. Also, their shrimp and grits are IT! Service is always on point and friendly. I heart this place.
(5)
Vanessa B.

I had breakfast here. It was good. I wasn't wow'd by it. Maybe it was just my dish but it did not taste like fresh food and more like can food made in some ingredients. I got the chicory coffee, the waitress even had some coffee cups for us to go. That was nice of her. However, they don't serve white sugar. Confused by that we asked another server and he said "oh yea we do, I can grab some in the back for you." That spelt out laziness from our server. Overall, she did a decent job. I rate it 3 stars just in case it was a bad day for them but please give them a try. Oh and BTW, it's very small in there and you literally are having your food with the other guest table. It's close quarter dining so if you don't mind that you are good to go!

OFF-MENU FAVORITE: the loaded hashbrowns, please bring them back! CLASSIC: noisy but festive French Quarter bistro with tiled floors and tight seating; VERY AFFORDABLE: large cafe au lait and huge loaded hashbrowns: $8.50! Fleur De Lis is what its sister restaurant, CafÃ© Envie, aspires to be but is hindered by its creepy, faux-local crowd. Galatoire's is one of my family's favorite restaurants. What I first remember about it as a kid in the 1960s was its festive noisiness and forced familiarity because of the closeness of the tables and the tiled floors. For me from bistro to cafÃ© all the classic Vieux CarrÃ© eateries have this in common, including Fleur de Lis. The food is one of the best price/quality values in the Quarter. My large loaded hash browns (again, please put them back on the menu!!!) were a perfect mix of crispy potatoes and bacon, spicy sausage and a gooey blend of cheese and cream gravy. The cafÃ© au lait (latte) is large and frothy. After-tax my meal was under $10, and I took half home! BUT BEWARE: given where it's located it can get very busy and crowded!
(3)
Lauren D.

I came here for breakfast and ordered the fat kid meal of pancakes, eggs, bacon and hash browns. Probably the best pancakes (blueberry) and hash browns I've ever had. The wait wasn't too long and the service was friendly. I think it's one of the better bargains in the quarter.

Great funky little place in the French Quarter. Shrimp 'n grits as good if not better than any I have ever had. Great service, thank you Maggie and loved the bloody mary.

Todd S.

The highs - prompt service, food delivered fast and hot. GREAT pancakes and large portions. Solid blue-plate breakfast. The lows - the coffee. Drip generic blah. Nothing fancy - the bacon was limp, thin and generic. Food was probably Sysco, straight out of the truck (except for the pancakes). However, for the portions, the price was right and nothing was below-par by any stretch of the imagination (except for the coffee). Recommended - go for the pancakes, the bloody marys and bring your cafe-au-lait with you.

We visited this restaurant on my birthday weekend due to the reviews we saw on Yelp.... THANK YOU YELP! We really enjoyed it so much , we will go here every morning were here visiting New Orleans. I had an omelet , grits, hash browns, and a biscuit. these grits were the best ever ! We are going again tomorrow. morning.... ohhh and our bill was only 20 bucks for the both of us including drinks... The atmosphere and customer service was great also!

James A.

Absolutely fantastic. We had breakfast, with excellent eggs benedict, omlettes, hash browns, coffee, etc. Everything was great. The food was good, but the service was like nothing I've ever seen. Besides being attentive during the meal, they really bailed me out when I left a shoulder bag there containing an iPad and three checkbooks. We changed tables without moving the bag, and didn't realize it until they had closed and we were on the way to the airport. I called the next day and asked what to do. They had found it, saved it, and volunteered to take it to the hotel where we had stayed. I called the hotel and asked them to send it to me, which they did, no worse for the wear. I found nothing wrong, and much that was far above and beyond the call. I'll certainly be back whenever I'm in New Orleans.

The best shrimp and grits I ever had. I wasn't sure why this place had less than 4 stars and with the surplus of restaurants in New Orleans I was a little skeptical-- but it was amazing. Fast and delicious. I highly recommend.

Laura W.

On a recent trip to the French Quarter for a friends wedding my boyfriend and I stopped in here for a quick breakfast before skipping town. We had picked this place after reading all the reviews about their hash browns and pancakes. Since I am gluten free the pancake were out and the hash browns were in. We LOVE hash browns and living in Miami we don't get them too often because Miami seems to favor home fries (don't know why...). Anywho, They did not live up to the reviews. Not even close. Ours came in pools of butter, which don't get me wrong can be a very good thing but it wasn't working for there hash browns. I ordered a 2 egg breakfast with bacon and hash browns and my eggs came in a similar pool. If I had been hungover or still drunk from the night before I probably would have been in heaven but for a sober meal I would skip this place. Oh! The coffee....AWFUL. Couldn't drink it. Threw out both of them after the first sip.

The website said "open 7am to 3pm everyday" so silly me, I believed it. On Sunday morning my mom and I decided to get an early start to the day and left our hotel at 7:00am. Our walk through the French Quarters consisted of: 1) watching the vomit from the night before being cleaned off the street with high powered hoses 2) having my behind grabbed rather forcefully by a very drunk man outside of a bar who proclaimed "juicy." After this, I wasn't really ready to stomach much of anything when I arrived at Cafe Fleur De Lis. Then I realized it didn't open till 8am on Sundays...Luckily the wonderful lady behind the counter let us in early after seeing how pathetic we looked staring in the window. She told us that if we weren't in a rush, we could wait. So we did. By 8am the place was crowded and we were enjoying some coffee and some amazing pancakes. We also split what had to be the unhealthiest (but quite delicious) breakfast ever. It consisted of a large plate of hash browns covered in bacon, sausage, sausage gravy and cheese. I figured if I could stomach that I could brave the walk back down Bourbon Street. Cafe Fleur De Lis is definitely a great breakfast spot, whether you are hung over or not. And if you are extra lucky, you might get some unsolicited action on the way there.

Mallory G.

Came to Cafe Fleur De Lis after a night on Bourbon street. So I needed something easy on my stomach. We stood in line to order while my group watched all the tables disappear. But luckily there was one left when we were done ordering. I ordered the omlete with feta and spinach with hashbrowns. My friends ordered the egg sandwich with grits and the oatmeal. My omlete was delicious and the hashbrowns were awesome. I thought the hasbrowns would be all greasy but they were not and had wonderful seasoning on them. The omlete was a little greasy so I was only able to finish half of it, but I would order it again for sure. My friends really enjoyed their egg sandwiches and the grits. My friends that ordered the oatmeal enjoyed it but were hungry when they finished even though it was a huge bowl of oatmeal with bananas. Cute little place for breakfast. Would recommend to people living in NOLA and visiting. Was a quick walk from our hotel in the French Quarter.

Went here in a whim after getting lost looking for another restaurant, but I am so happy we ended up here! This place had a great menu with lots of yummy options & we had great service! I made a simple choice of the ultimate grilled cheese and it was probly the best I've ever had!

Kate F.

Final breakfast of a weeklong trip. The hash browns were well seasoned, hot, and at the appropriate level of greasy that I want from diner hash browns. I ordered bacon and got sausage, the husband ordered an omelet with peppers and salsa and the salsa got left out and brought separately a few minutes later. The croissant was forgotten and brought late, too, but who cares. It was tasty, inexpensive, and fast, and that was what we were going for.
(3)
Andrew R.

Good place to grab an inexpensive bite to eat in the French quarter. My latte was really good, and I ordered the seafood Benedict, which was ok. The seafood cakes were a little too fishy, and the dish was sloppily plated. The restaurant interior could also use some updating. Overall a decent place to grab a quick inexpensive bite to eat in the quarter.

During the research for this trip, I used many sources, including TripAdvisor to scope out the spots to eat. As I started looking for spots to have a good breakfast, one popped up right across the street from our hotel, which was Cafe Fleur-de-Lis. Several "foodies" recommended the omelets at the Cafe, so I thought I would test their credentials. Sure enough these anonymous posters were correct, the omelet was delicious and a very healthy portion size. I chose the most local option, which was the Omelet Fleur-de-Lis, which had crawfish, pepper jack cheese, bell peppers, onions, and covered in a crawfish sauce. The flavor was tremendous, and I did not need to add any hot sauce, which is a crowning achievement for an omelet in my opinion. I also had a choc au lait (hot chocolate), which was not as chocolately as I would like, but nice and warm on this cold day! Sarah went with the croissant sandwich containing egg, ham, and cheese. Its portion was also sizeable and definitely filled her up. We ended up skipping lunch because of the large portion size, but that may be a good thing! Next time, I may have to come back and eat lunch, as their burger selection looked fun!

This place was really a New Orleans Style type breakfast. I grabbed the Buttermilk pancakes and the Spicy Cajun Omelet. They both were good. But the pancakes were way better!! I gave the place a 4 although, because the restaurant isn't as clean as it could have been and the kitchen area smells like eggs, and we all know what that smells like: but the place was good. Check it out

JK H.

Great restaurant for a more traditional, bacon & egg/pancake type of breakfast. They do have some more healthy choices, which are also appreciated. A plus, you can get coffee & chicory here as well. Very friendly service, good prices and quality food. During the rush, it gets busy, but over all, a very good choice for breakfast. We ate here twice during our visit to NOLA, and both times were excellent.

Dylan E.

Great little restaurant with some fantastic shrimp and grits. It was busy but we got there at just the right time and were seated before the big breakfast crowd hit. The service was good, even with the growing crowd. Can't wait to go back again. Get the shrimp and grits. Seriously.

K Sera S.

You might have to wait a bit--the service can be slow--but hey, this is the Big Easy, not the Big Apple, so get a bottle of water, nurse your hangover, and relax while a hearty breakfast comes your way. The pancakes were delish and the eggs perfectly cooked. The bacon had a real smokey taste and the hashbrowns were yummy. Really, we practically licked our plates clean. Give it a shot!

We came here twice for Breakfast! AWESOMEly yummy! This restaurant was listed on our Hotel Concierge Best breakfast joints! I definitely agree! Firs visit, I ordered Fleur de Lis omelet (crawfish tails, pepper jack cheese, bell peppers, onions and topped with Cajun Crawfish sauce) for $11.95, it came with their heaven hash browns and white toast . Definitely worth it! It was the best omelet I have eaten in the French Quarter! My boyfriend ordered buttermilk pancakes. He liked it! Our second visit, I ordered a stack of Blueberry pancakes. I was hoping to have my blueberries mixed in with the pancakes, but it was just sprinkled on top my buttermilk pancakes. I've had better! My boyfriend ordered sausage & gravy hash brown heaven for $5.50. Definitely worth visiting if you're a breakfast person.

This is a fantastic place for breakfast and lunch in the French Quarter. It's just honest, simple, good food for a great price. I've had nearly everything from this little place. Pastries. Pancakes. Egg breakfasts. Chicken ceasar salads. Sandwiches. Mimosas... YES! They have mimosas! Just know that it's a pretty small place, and can get packed pretty quickly. But be patient. The line usually goes pretty fast, though the tables don't always clear fast enough for my liking. If you want something fast, delicious and of high quality for the price, I would definitely recommend this spot.

Bustling loud dive, we tried the lunch menu but the breakfast menu seemed popular. Lots of locals, young hipsters. Food was good, service prompt but casual. Nice atmosphere. Only about 20 tables so be ready to wait a sec at peak times.

Service was was friendly, but terribly slow--45 minutes for coffee when you're hungover? No thanks. Food was mediocre at best. I wouldn't waste a meal there in a city like New Orleans.

The sign outside said "Shrimp and Grits--C'mon in!" but when we arrived, the waiter told us they were out of grits. For the record, they were also out of pasta salad. I ordered a dish with a seafood cake and hollandaise sauce. The cake was gooey in the middle ad burned on the outside, and the sauce had a bright acidic flavor that made me wonder if it had started to go bad. The waiter was inattentive and did little to conceal the fact that he couldn't wait for us to leave.

Stopped here on our 1st morning in NOLA because it was close to our hotel. WHAT A GEM! The hash browns are awesome and the bacon they use is very high quality. I've only had thick, meaty bacon like they use at Cafe Fleur de Lis at much more expensive places. I had the two egg plate and my husband had the shrimp & grits, which were also great. We liked this place so much we went back again before we left.

If you like butter, this is your place. If you like coffee, head elsewhere. Food was pretty average, but functional. Pancakes were thick with butter inside the mix. Coffee was watery, so if Starbucks or Peets is your pleasure then you'll be left wanting. Hashbrowns are actively stirred, so keep that in mind as hashbrown preferences vary widely. Service was great, and the woman directing traffic (people to tables) was fabulous. She turned what could be chaos into something that worked like a finely oiled machine.

Loved this place on a recent visit to town! First I'm all for places that have it together with the seating. You wait in line and then this awesome lady tells you which table to sit in. None of that "people grabbing tables to beat the line" crap you find in other similar businesses. And guess what it works? Also the staff HUSTLES - they are many of them and they are never standing still! I enjoyed the copious amounts if ice tea I had and the breakfast was delish! I had the 3 egg breakfast with grits and sausage - yummy! And my boyfriend DID enjoy the crispy hashbrowns - hard to come by. Definitely recommend for a good and quick meal.

In town for a bachelorette party, we showed up around 11 am on Easter Sunday hoping to get a table for 7. We were greeted by a very friendly employee & waited outside for about 20 minutes to be seated. We were glad we did because we had an absolutely delicious brunch. I started off with a Mimosa & my friends had Bloody Marys which they raved about. I ordered The Big Easy Breakfast which was definitley big & did not disappoint- fluffy amazing pancakes, eggs cooked over easy, bacon, sausage, perfectly seasoned hash browns & toast all for $10.95. A few friends had Eggs Benedict which they reported was one of the best they've ever had. Another friend showed up towards the end of the meal and they had no problem adding an eighth seat to the table to accommodate her. She ordered The Healthy Breakfast with egg whites, turkey bacon, & fresh fruit which was right on point as well. In short the prices were reasonable, the service impressive, and the food hits the spot! I would definitely recommend this cafe to anyone!

I had the porkchop, 2 egg and toast breakfast with hashbrowns and it was one of the best breakfasts I have ever eaten in my life. The bloody mary was strong and spicy. Sadly the wait on the food was lengthy and my gut was empty except for the built up bile and acid from last nights foray into debauchery. The bloody mary came up while I was waiting for the food. Yuk. Fortunately the facilities were sparkling clean, spacious and had a wide flat screen tv with the game on to keep my thoughts off of my regurg. My food was on the table by the time I could make my way back. Man it was good. The porkchop was just a little on the dry side, but it had sat waiting for me, so I couldn't fault it. The flavor was spot on. So good. I get the feeling that some things on the menu are not as good as others, so you have to be discerning and lucky to catch a superlative but otherwise the remainder of the choices seemed quite solid. The place was packed with happy eaters.

Don't go there hungry, service is a little bit slow. But I will say, it was well worth the wait! The hash browns from this place are to die for. I was looking up "NOLA best kept secrets" and this place came up so my boyfriend and I wanted to give it a try. We ate breakfast there the first morning and ate there the next three mornings as well! I went during Jazz Fest so this can account for the slower service since it was busy, but I stayed into the week when there were not many tourists around and service was still a bit slow. Again...this DID NOT stop me from going there (obviously lol) I would highly recommend this to anyone in the area and cannot wait to go back when I visit New Orleans again.

I have been to eat breakfast here a few times, and they never disappoint. I went for my birthday on July 6, and I ate my weight in food. I had the Fleur-De-Lis omelet, and the buttermilk pancakes with banana and pecans on top. You get grits and toast as sides. I also had a mimosa, after all it is was my B'day! LOL! My ticket was $28.00. I'm sure I paid at least 10.00 for the mimosa, but I'm not sure because I didn't look at the ticket..sorry :-). I will say the food is not overpriced but I wouldn't call it cheap. If you want a mimosa it is not on the menu, just ask for it. This place is a dive so don't expect anything fancy. If you are in a group, have someone grab a table while you order a food, The service is good, but you may have to wait a few minutes if they are busy. I highly recommend this spot for breakfast. I haven't tried the other food on the menu yet, but when I do, you will be the first to know..

I love the atmosphere and the food is good. They used to have the most beautiful (and tasty) waffles, but it's not on the menu anymore. :'( I will eat here every time I'm in New Orleans. It's a family run business and the grandma runs a tight ship, and a very clean one too.

Went to NOLA on a long weekend for New Years. Eat here at least twice while in town. First things first: the Pasta Salad! So good. Ate it each time we went. Feel like i talk about it more then anything else from the trip. Had sammies every time. A turkey avocado melt(i think) and a great grilled cheese sandwich. The T-A sandwich was good but the pasta salad definitely out shined it so fell short in comparison. The grilled cheese was awesome, several different kinds of cheese, as well as tomatoes and bacon. The bread was still nice and toasty despite all the melted cheese piled on to sop help up the hurricanes dranken the night before. A friend got the Belgian waffle which i managed to break a bite off of and it was good and crispy with just the right amount of powdered sugar. The first come first serve table setting can get a little overwhelming since the place isn't that big inside, but still never really had a problem finding one in the end. Overall, a good place for a quick lunch and maybe a bloody mary while your at it. You are in New Orleans!

Kitchen is terribly disorganized. Never seen such confusion and chaos at a breakfast cafe. There were about 6-7 people in the tiny prep area at any given time, bumping in to each other and looking at each other with disgruntled looks. It took so long for people to get their food, that customers kept coming up to the cashier to ask. This only distracted the slow and confused cashier to delay taking peoples orders. Overall, it took 20 min to order and another 20 to get my waffle. I don't mind waiting for food when its actually good, but good food it was not. Also, grossly overpriced. $4.95 for a plain egg and cheese sandwich.

Christina B.

We came upon this place by accident and stumbled in ad an attempt to get out of the pouring rain. My husband had an omelette and hash browns and I had the gumbo. Disappointing on both accounts. The hash towns were not as crispy as promised and the gumbo had a skin on the surface and undercooked rice. Flavored were decent, but I was definitely underwhelmed.

Eric W.

Cafe Fleur De Lis you cured my hangover, good job. Think of a diner that serves crawfish in its omelets. I had a bacon / egg / cheese sandwich on wheat toast with a side of hash browns. It was solid enough for what I paid ($6.50). They forgot my order so I had to grab the manager and ask for it again, no big deal, I could tell they made it fresh on the spot. Friendly staff, willing to help. This was surprising given the huge Mardi Gras crowd that quickly gathered past 11am. I would definitely come here for cheap, post boozing, diner food.

Charles B.

We tried Cafe Fleur De Lis on our recent trip to New Orleans. Using the factors of atmosphere, taste, and pricing I was quite underwhelmed by this restaurant. I ordered the Cobb salad for lunch. It was $13. Not a crazy price, but high for a salad. The base of the salad was your basic bag lettuce you could pick up at any grocery store. I literally felt like they had cut open a plastic bag of lettuce, and dropped it into my bowl. Then they topped it with standard items. There was absolutely nothing special about it. I always want to have something at a restaurant that I can't easily make on my own at home. There was not one thing about the preparation of this meal that made it unique in any way.

Very busy on a Sunday morning, pre-Saints game. Note: do not take a table if you haven't ordered and rec'd the red number. Even if your friend is in line ordering, they will ask you to order before sitting. I had the waffle which took a while to cook. They said the first one didn't come out right so they were re-making it. When it did arrive, it was cooked perfectly so no harm, no foul. Unfortunately I did not get to try the hash browns, but I think my waist line is thanking me. If you're a part of a group of +2 or are hungry walking in, I'm not sure this place will satisfy you.

There was only 6 people or so in front of us and it took nearly an hour to place our order and get our food. I ordered the fleur de lis omelet. It came with hash browns and toast. It was good but not worth the wait.

Blythe Z.

We didn't have the pleasure of eating here. The tables as I has discussed with the bus boy are first come first serve. As I had seen other woman, walk right in and take a table literally seconds before me. My husband was giving the order at the counter and I pulled him out of line. I guess to make a long story short, some cheese ball wanted the table I sat at, even though one was opening up right behind me and grabbed a manager I presume to ask me to give it up. When I told this woman that I had just asked your busboy if it was alright to take this table and he told me yes, her response was "don't worry there will be plenty of other tables". It was a really cool morning, and it was hot as hell in there... very cramped. My husband did not want to to stay after I told him of the experience and it was a blessing in disguise - we found a great place right around the corner.

I had breakfast at this restaurant one morning while in New Orleans in November 2010. I found the lady that took my order was quite unpleasant, and she did not give me my coffees I ordered for my wife and I. I had to go back to the counter and ask for them. Then when our food was brought out, the plate my waffle was on was all greasy with some other food. I do not think I would return there again. However, the friends I was with had ordered bloody marys, and they commented that they were very good.

A solid four stars! Went for Christmas breakfast and was very glad I did. I got the Crawfish omelet with hash browns. The omelet was cooked perfectly and the hasbrown's , were amazing. It took a while to get the food, but the place was so warm and friendly i didn't mind. My friend got pancakes and they were cooked perfectly too! Crispy on the outside and thick and fluffy on the inside.

If you get there early in a weekday, before the work day, it's quiet and the servers could not be nicer. Beware of the size of the servings though! Mine could have easily fed two! (Tasty though!)

Let me start out by saying that I loved my breakfast! I had the crawfish omelet, and it was wonderful. Crawfish were fresh and hot. Rest of the meal was just average. It was crowded and load. But, I guess that is a sign of good food. My problem was that you had to move the mop bucket out of the way to get to the cooler with the juices and milk. ICK!! Staff was very friendly.

This is my type of place! A complete hole-in-the-wall little cafe with about ten tables with people coming in and out for delish food. I had my breakfast here today. I was going to just have their ham, egg, and cheese sandwich but then I noticed that they had a seafood omelet and a crawfish omelet. Their pancakes also looked amazing. With so many amazing breakfast options, I was a bit overwhelmed by this little place. In the end, with the help of the cashier, I committed to the seafood omelet. This gave me a chance to compare it to my other seafood omelet from Daisy Dukes, which is several stores down! Can I say that it was amazing? mMMmmm, with the first and last bite - the satisfying sensation was overwhelming. I loved it! Thumbs up! The omelet had a special cajun sauce, crawfish, shrimp, and mmm-mushrooms with hashbrowns! Delish! I can not even explain it into words! I finished my plate and licked it clean! The people here are super friendly and nice! My friend ordered the Easy Breakfast with sausage, bacon, eggs, hashbrowns, and pancakes. Their homemade pancakes were beautiful. I honestly do not care for pancakes, but these were perfectly light crisped on the outside and super fluffy on the inside. With a touch of butter and syrup, I am willing to return for the pancakes tomorrow morning.... maybe with a side of cajun crawfish omelet! Cafe Fleur De Lis is reasonable priced and a very pleasant dining experience. Thumbs up to awesome breakfast. If only breakfast could always be an experience like this.... I will die happy!

The breakfast was really nothing different than a waffle house smothered, covered and so on. Will not be returning. I give them 3 stars because they serve a good Bloody Mary. Other dishes looked better than the house special hash browns.

Rosalyn S.

This place is much more diner than cafe, i.e., not the cleanest place I've ever brunched. I ordered coffee and eggs benedict with hash browns. The coffee was typical diner coffee, watery but okay; the hash browns were good but super salty (and this is coming from a girl that loves a well salted meal); and the eggs benedict caused me the most inner conflict.. The eggs were poached perfectly but a little on the wet side, the hollandaise sauce was done quite well but the biscuit in place of the english muffin throws off the texture, and to add insult to injury, the ham they used was the super thin sliced lunch meat style ham, which was disappointing.

Anna B.

AMAZING!!!! Best breakfast I had in New Orleans by far!!!!! I came here starved on a Sunday at 1 PM and there was no line and no wait, we ordered our food and it came out pretty quickly. I got the three eggs scrambled with bacon and grits and a biscuit....delicious. They use real eggs instead of that already beaten kind and you can really taste the difference. The biscuit was nice and fluffy, and the grits were buttery and scrumptious. I also shared the belgian waffle with bananas and it was AWESOME. My friends had the tuna sandwich and they said it was great as well. Wanted to come back for lunch but I was so stuffed from breakfast!!! Plus its fairly inexpensive, especially for being in the French Quarter. LOVED IT!!!!

We went for breakfast on our last day in New Orleans because we had walked by a couple times and it looked intriguing. We ordered the waffle with bananas and ham, egg, cheese sandwich on a croissant. The food took a bit but that only meant it was being cooked to order for us. The hash browns were delicious and cooked just right with some crisp to them. The waffle was fresh and delicious with the added bananas on top, it was a bit thick but filling. The croissant was also fresh and a good size.

I've eaten at this little cafe about a dozen times on visits to the Big Easy and I love it. Great eggs bene, ultimate grilled cheese, hash browns and most of all, the pancakes... out of this world! The staff couldn't be friendlier and in true southern fashion, you feel more like a cherished friend when you step up to the counter to place an order than just a customer. This is usually my first breakfast visit on any trip to New Orleans.

Sophia L.

Honestly they have the best hash browns around. Maybe it's because I'm not a hash brown type of lady, but all I know is that they were full of flavor and I wish I had more on my plate! I ordered the two egg platter, which everything was delicious, including the sausage & eggs which sometimes are iffy anywhere you go. My fiance ordered some pancakes on the side and boy did I love them! I was so stuffed after eating here. We got our food to go, because the line was super long and we didn't want to wait around for our table with our 10 month old. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone visiting the French Quarter. It's cute, priced decently and YUMMY!

My husband and I came in this afternoon for some breakfast. We knew what this place used to be before they turned to table service. My husband got the French toast, which was really good despite the over use of nutmeg, and I got the healthy plate, which was just alright. Being that we are locals and I work in the food industry here, we're usually really forgiving when it comes to poor service. Today wasn't really the day for that. Our server, who did not provide a name, with dyed red hair, came to us a total of four times. The first was to quickly take our drink order. The second, our food order. The third and fourth time were to hurry us out of the restaurant. She never came to us when we got our meal, she never asked us how it was or if we even needed anything (like that glass of water we ordered first and had to hunt down the food runner to bring it to us when our food was already on the table). After we were finished and had payed she threw our book at us without a glance and hurried to finish her conversation with the other server who was rolling silverware and was "trying to get out" of there. We come to this place because it is right behind our apartment, we understand its a semi busy Sunday brunch, but we (especially because I am a server in this town) don't understand obvious disrespect towards guests who are paying your bills. She got her 20% tip which was obvious all she wanted, but if she were to ever walk in my resultant, rest assured she will get an ear full out of me. Lesson here: don't bite the hand that feeds you, for if you do, you might just end up with spit in your next meal around town. This is a community based town, we all talk, servers included.

Sarcastic T.

Nothing fancy, nothing super original. Just good food. Service was a bit chaotic but friendly though we wanted a good 20 minutes for our food to come out. The gal at the grill was hopping so I can't bitch too much, but I was soooo hungry the wait seemed to last forever! Breakfast is served all day.

rebekah b.

This place is the definition of no-frills. The food is decent and plentiful. The decor pretty standard. Another reviewer called it a "hole in the wall," and the description fits. You order at the counter, but it can get dicey if you haven't grabbed a table first if the place is crowded. Otherwise you might end up with a plate of hot food on the curb.

Had a great breakfast this morning. Met the manager Nick. Great guy. Loved the fact that he took time to go out of his way to talk to me and ask how my dining experience was. Great spot for the locals as well as the tourists. I had the Big Easy breakfast. Enough food for two. The pancakes were excellent. Good fast service, good food and overall good experience.

Sooooo slooooow. Took 45 minutes to get my food. Not how long I want to wait for breakfast (which by the time you get it should be called lunch). Grits were dry. Biscuits were dry.... nothing special.

Kim H.

I would have given this place more stars if it wasn't so packed and chaotic. Granted, I was there right at lunch time and it's in a touristy area (I was a visiting tourist myself). It's one of those places where you order, get a number, and then get a table. Or, in my case, wait for a LONG time for a table. It kind of works out because they are really slow with bringing the food, so by the time I found a table, it was just another 5 minutes before the food came out. I wasn't super hungry so I just got a spinach salad, with strawberries and feta. It was good. The menu is really varied. They have a lot of great breakfast items and sandwiches. There are plenty of options for vegetarians, and the portions are big. They just need more seating.
(3)
Pamela S.

The breakfast here is great. We were in NOLA for 5 nights/4 days & ate here for 3 days bcs we foolishly ate somewhere else our 1st morning. I wouldn't consider this a greasy spoon but more of a diner type breakfast. Their prices are reasonable especially with it being right in the French Quarter where price gouging seems to be the norm.

Dallas K.

Only had breakfast here, but it was to die for! Sausage is great, but it's the hashbrowns that seal the deal. Garlicy, buttery...perfection! Prices are good for how much you get. Can't finish a whole breakfast, even when really hungry!

Rae F.

Came here after reading some reviews and it was just average. I never realized how much I didn't like ordering a big breakfast without actually having a table first. That is the scariest, to order first then hope a table opens up by the time you get it. But then again, the food takes a while to come out...about 30 minutes on top of the 30 minutes you spent waiting for the table! Was the food worth the wait? We did not think so, and believe you me, I'll wait for tasty breakfast (coming from NYC a la Clinton St. Bakery!)

This place was good. I had the seafood omelet and I could have used a bit more seafood. As a local I'm used to places piling on the shrimp and crawfish so this felt skimpy but the flavors were great, everything was cooked well and the price was good. The service was great too and everyone was friendly.

Cindy V.

my husband and i were recently in NOLA for four days, which included three mornings. which, of course, meant three breakfasts. we ate breakfast at cafe fleur de lis twice. in fact, the only reason we didn't eat there all three mornings is because we ate at another restaurant the first morning. had we eaten here first, cafe fleur de lis would've been three for three. we saw a waiter leave a couple of times with trays of covered food and walk across the street to the hotel. it appears as though this place delivers room service to the guests there. we'll be staying there next time :) the pancakes were in-credible. i have no idea what my husband ate, i can't remember. i was far too involved with my strawberry covered, powdered sugar dusted, impossibly fluffy pancakes to really even notice. i'm pretty sure they brought me a plate of 3 pancakes, but it could just as easily have been 12. there was no way i was finishing them all and i was just a little sad about it...is it weird to miss pancakes? anyway, super friendly staff, reasonably priced (for b'fast in the quarter) and, of course, ridiculously good pancakes. eat here!!!!

This place is great! While it was pretty crowded on a friday morn, the food was great, the staff were super nice and the prices were very low. I got the big easy breakfast with 2 eggs, 2 bacon, 2 sausage, 2 pancakes and hashbrowns. All this for 10 bucks. Really. An incredible deal at an incredible place. I'll be back!

Sebastian E.

Unless you are still drunk from the night before...or better the late morning hours, I would not recommend this place. The food was ok, I did not try the hash brown madness noted in other reviews. As for the place, you are entered with a tray of sample food servings; in essence order what you see. The highly eclectic music mix, ranging from YMCA (great to have with your morning breakfast) to KC and the Sunshine band is so loud that even ordering is a bit of a challenge. It is not clear whether one is to order at the counter or wait for table service, if there is one, they are beyond slow. It is probably best to go and order at the bar at the end of the place. The grill was not what I would call clean so I made myself look the other way. Staff was very friendly at the bar, even though not really helpful. I eventually figured out what to order and also discovered the self serving rack on the side with Jam, butter and silverware. The food was brought to the table and was, as noted above, simply ok. Did not finish it and left this place behind...never to been seen again (by me).

Wouldn't seat a large group. Said that it wouldn't be fair to other patrons. Not sure how that makes sense since we are patrons spending the same money as other patrons. Seems a little backwards if you ask me. Review is only for notice to large groups. Nothing about the food.

This place has been on my list of places to eat for a while, so clearly it was the first place that I had to eat at on my trip to NOLA. I wasn't planning on having a large meal here, just a few oysters, and then on to the next stop. I ended up ordering half a dozen raw oysters, half a dozen chargrilled oysters, and an oyster shooter. The shooter tasted like most shooters that I've had, but I don't really expect much from this. The oysters were GREAT though. I could not believe how big these oysters were. If you are a fan of oysters, you have got to try these! I convinced my mom to try the chargrilled oysters (she does NOT like oysters), and she actually enjoyed them. If you bring someone who is not an oyster fan here, make sure to get the chargrilled oysters. We arrived around 12:15pm on a Thursday afternoon, and there was already a small line outside. The restaurant was getting ready to close down from 12:30 PM until 6:30pm for a private event, but they continued to seat people right up until 12:30pm. I couldn't believe how many people walked right past the line and right into the restaurant though. Make sure to check out the line outside of the door before you try walking in! We sat at a table, as it was the first thing available and we wanted to make sure that we were able to get a seat before they closed. Even though they were closing, they never made us feel rushed, and let us stay until we were finished. I would definitely go back here again.

Good food, nothing spectacular. Got the big easy breakfast, which is a lot of food for its cost. Pretty good. Also got a Peppermint Mocha Au lait that was too girly for my taste but hey, that's my fault. Peppermint Mocha Ai lait? I should've known better. Servers were excellent.

Used to be counter service (which I actually miss) but now is a sit down place but the food is still the same good ole breakfast and lunch. Always have great meals here. There aren't a lot of budget conscious breakfasts that are fast and easy and GOOD in the quarter but if one place comes to mind it's here. Keeps me coming back. I recommend getting an egg sandwich on a biscuit they make a great biscuit.

I have a food allergy so I have to be careful of what I eat. Here I had the seafood Benedict with no biscuit and the hash browns and it was soo good! The sauce was delish, the seafood cakes were good and not too oily and fresh orange juice, I loved it

Came in on a busy Saturday morning. The waitresses began to argue with the "hostess" over their table assignments instead of seating us at an open table. Our waitress quickly took our order. 40 mins later after two couples that were seated after us - ate, paid their bill and left, we were told by our waitress that they were out of poached eggs and the next round would be done in 20 mins. She then offered us a whopping 15% off our bill. We needed up leaving without trying our food. Extremely disappointing!!

Great Bloody Mary selection, and really delicious brunch variety. Worth the wait, if there's a line!

The first day we tried to get to-go Bloody Mary's but we were completely ignored so we left. The second day we walked past and there was no line so we decided to grab brunch. The food and service were average. Not bad but don't wait outside 30 mins for it.

We enjoyed our breakfast here. The coffee is good and the menu is very affordable. I had the shrimp and grits which was good but I did have to add salt and pepper. Service was quick and waiters are friendly.

I'm from out of town and after carefully perusing yelp reviews I set out to eat breakfast here. Everything was great from the food to the service. Jessie was attentive with a great personality. All of the staff spoke while walking by and made me feel welcome since I was eating by myself. I had the breakfast platter with egg whites, grits, turkey bacon, pancakes, and toast with a coffee and mimosa to wash it down. For all of that with 2 mimosas my bill was under $30! I definitely recommend for anyone looking for a fun environment, good food, and friendly service that won't break your pocket.

Do yourself a favor...don't come here for breakfast !!! The cappuccino was extremely hot (it took me more than half an hour to drink) as for the sausage I still don't know what it was made of. The only ok food was the eggs...and the only ok drink was the water!!! Better of going to McDonald's...seriously !!!

Great place! Walked from my hotel for a quick breakfast before leaving town, and ended up leaving "late" due to the fact that the staff was so friendly and we got to visiting. Not to mention the food/coffee was amazing. I had a breakfast sandwich--which looked just like something I could make at home, but was way better! Yummy! Try it!

Arne H.

Food is fresh and delicious, atmosphere is clean and inviting, and the staff is friendly and capable. I had the french toast which was perfectly done, soft inside with just a touch of crunchy crust. My wife had the farmers omelet and grits, both of which were cooked to perfection. Our waitress was on point at every moment, and served us with a grace that would even charm I.J. Reilly. We will definitely be returning to this wonderful little spot. Don't forget to try the bacon bloody mary!

Stopped in here quick to get out of the rain. I had a soy latte - it was delicious! May be the best one I've had. Only rating four stars because I didn't have any food I can't say much.

Great breakfast place, food very fresh, service awesome!! This was our second time to have breakfast here. Highly recommend, everything from, eggs, to amazing pancakes, to latte!! Great location just a block and a half off Canal!! We walked past several other places on our way to the cafe, and all those places had lines to get in, yet we walked right up and got a table and fantastic breakfast and coffee!! My daughter gave the pancakes the highest praise "freakin awesome" enjoy!!

Dee B.

Service here is hit or miss. Today it was pretty good. Eggs Benedict was delicious and these guys have a massive cappuccino to kickstart your morning! The guy in the back with the obnoxious whistle was a bit annoying but he finally stopped. As Mardi Gras gets near I'm sure the servers will get overwhelmed but that's expected during the crazy times here..

I loved this place!!! I ate the spinach and feta wrap and my mom had grits with eggs and biscuit and sausage!!! LOL my mom just said "the grits are really good and creamy" my server was the shit!!! I had a bomb ass strawberry Mimosa and she kept my glass full not to forget her coming and checking on us!!! Which means a lot so Jesse (The girl LOL) Thank You for serving is well!!! This restaurant is on my comeback list

This place is great. We arrived just before 9am and were seated immediately, but by the time we left around 10am there was a line out the door. Our waiter was knowledgeable, friendly, accommodating and the perfect amount of "chatty." He was really nice. The food is delicious - I had the pancakes and my friend had the shrimp and grits. It took about 30 minutes for the food to arrive, which is unusual for breakfast, but it wasn't a big deal as the ambiance is inviting and pleasant. Overall it was a great meal - food was amazing, service was spot-on, and it was a nice kick off to a fun day in NOLA.

We just arrived in New Orleans after a tiring red eye flight, and we were starving for some breakfast. Good old yelp came to the rescue and we found Cafe Fleur De Lis in walking distance. The place is jammed packed on a Friday morning, and the line takes forever. Speed is definitely not their forte here. But everyone's food looked so good, that we decided to wait it out. Omg the pancakes here are so delish!! I guess I don't order pancakes frequently, but this was miles better than what i've had at Stacks or IHOP back at home. So buttery, so yummy. I also loved the hash browns. YUM! Everything else was your standard breakfast fare, but overall I was satisfied and happy.

Besides busy hustle & bustle (which you would expect from any cafe in Nawlins anyway) this place is great! These guys serve up some pretty tasty hasbrowns and pancakes. I recommend the big easy breakfast.

The food here is great for breakfast. Nice portions. Egg dishes we well loved by everyone in the group. The hash browns were excellent some of the best I have had in my whole life. The staff is hard working and willing to check on if everything is fine. Very reasonable, good quality food, and nice clean dining area. A rare find in New Orleans.

This place is wonderful. Cozy with great food and service. I randomly decided to take my group here because the other reviews are great and when I saw a bacon Bloody Mary picture. I was sold. It's delicious and worth trying. The portions are huge and affordable. It's on the smaller side so if it's a big group you might have to wait a little but who cares you can walk around the area and check out the shops.

Janice T.

Excellent breakfast! The New Orleans Country Breakfast was enough to feed my husband and I with a couple extra eggs and hash browns. Grits were a little bland, but the Boudin, eggs, biscuit and hash browns were perfect! The atmosphere is light and fun and waitstaff all friendly.
(5)
Stephie Z.

My favorite breakfast spot in New Orleans. It helps that it is 1 block from my hotel. Best thing on the menu (out of the 3 I tried) was the shrimp and grits. It's not healthy, what with the oodles and caboodles of butter and cheese, but it does have a nice garlic shalloty flavor and you can tell the shrimp is fresh. We had great service one day, crap service the next. Oh well. *where did the tip button go? I would have much rather this been a tip than a review. Sorry y'all.

Teresa S.

This was another touristy must do spot to eat that was also packed and had a long line. The setup of this place was a bit different. You order your food first, pay for your individual meal which I loved and then grab a table. One of the servers informed us by the time we placed our order there would be tables for us and that was true. I was shocked because of how crowded the place was. I ordered the American special of eggs, bacon, grits and pancakes that was delicious. I tasted one of my friends chocolate pancakes which was different but a bit too much chocolate for breakfast in my opinion. This place really deserves 4 stars but their unpreparedness for a large crowd during a popular festival weekend warrants a deduction. They ran out of flatware and some of the juice and tea dispensers were empty. I informed staff and they sincerely apologized and stated they would get to it.They definitely needed more staff. The other thing I didnt like was that you waited in line in the middle of the restaurant and can be literally breathing on other patrons eating their food. Well that's how it felt and it was just too tight and the set up wasnt comfortable at all.

Sheree C.

My goodness! This good was amazing. I had the Big Easy which came with eggs your way, bacon, boudin sausage, grits or hash browns, toast or biscuits and pancakes. :-). Everything was flavorful and the staff was welcoming and friendly. I will be back. :-)

This place serves up some of the best breakfast in the french quarter. We ate here on a recommendation from someone we met while drinking some beers in New Orleans on Magazine St. and he couldnt say enough good about the place. So glad we listened to him as it was one of the best omelets I've ever eaten. I had the signature Fleur De Lis omlelet which had crawfish tails, pepper jack cheese, bell peppers, onions, and was topped with a cajun crawfish sauce. Absolutely delicious, I wish i could eat like that every morning. The wait at this place can be a little long at times, and you have to stand in line to order, which may turn some off, but if you dont mind a little wait for some awesome breakfast food you cant go wrong with this place.

Good food at reasonable prices. Large crowds especially on weekends for breakfast and brunch. Tough to get a coffee refill. Both general American breakfasts and ones with a more Nawlins flavor.

Awesome and reasonable for breakfast in New Orleans. Cheaper than the hotels and much better than any fast food chain. Service is fast and counter help refers to you as "Baby" or "Honey" throughout the visit. Highly recommended.

Seth B.

Went here based upon the Yelp reviews, and had a decent experience. The biggest negative was the amount of time it took get get served - ordering took forever and a huge line formed behind us while we were waiting for them to enter our order. Once we ordered, it then took a good 50 minutes to get our Eggs Benedict and Seafood Gumbo which is way too long to wait for breakfast - granted it was a Sunday morning, but it's still way too long to wait. That being said, the food was quite tasty (not mind-blowing, but wonderful hash browns and the gumbo was quite good), and the despite the slow service the staff was at least all very friendly. Would go here again, but only on a slower day! The

Giancarlo G.

Nice little setting. Warm atmosphere, though the staff certainly seemed apathetic to your being there. They just take your order, drop of your food without ever an exchange of words or eye contact. I had the crawfish omlette. The sauce was delicious, the omlet itself was nothing special, but the crawfish tails were delicious. I would have liked to see a bigger omlette for the price. 3 stars = ok, not great

Kelsey S.

I stopped here because it looked nice and my friends and I were starving. Upon entering we were yelled at to shut the door (we were literally just crossing the threshold when the waiter snapped at us) and then he took menus and literally threw them on a table and walked away. We waited for over 10 minutes before anyone ever greeted the table and the only reason anyone ever came was because I had to flag down another server when she walked passed us (and another table who had been seated just before us who also had no server) to greet a table who just walked in. Our server was the same guy who yelled at us earlier and when I suggested to my sister that she order her food with her drink he said "yeah lets just get this all over with at once". The burger was disgusting, it looked like a McDonalds hamburger but greasier. I just got coffee so I can't say I tasted it but if it had been served to me I would have returned it. I had to flag the server down for the check and when I put my card out to be taken (everyone else was paying in cash) he walked by literally six times without taking the card. I ended up just paying cash. I have served my entire college career so I understand what the job is like but to be blatantly hostile is something I will never understand. Yes, we are tourists just like probably 90% of the restaurant (it was Sugar bowl weekend so the team colors gave it away) but that is no excuse to treat people so poorly. This was the first time I have not tipped someone and this is the first time I've written a negative review but I was really that upset about it. I made sure to tell all my friends to steer clear of this place when they visit.

I had the Fleur De Lis Omelet and it was delicious. In town for a tech conference (SpringOne), I wanted to find an authenticy feeling place for breakfast, and this fit the bill. It was a casual, hole-in-the-wall atmosphere with a tiny kitchen and delicious food.

Jen B.

Mmmm.... HASHBROWNS... (what else can I say?) The food here was really good, it's a tasty breakfast / lunch place. I was impressed with this little cafe, had pancakes that were so buttery and light, but those hashbrowns are killer (garlicy or something). We also ordered a spinach omlette that was really good.
(4)
Davi H.

This place has absolutely delicious food! I tried the bacon/egg/cheese on a croissant w/ hash browns and the pancakes. Everything tasted amazing, especially the pancakes. For around $6 you get 3 HUGE pancakes that are perfectly golden brown and fluffy. The sandwich was also really good-fresh croissant and perfect amount of egg, cheese, and bacon. Loved the hash browns-they were spiced with cajun seasoning and so tasty. The staff was also very friendly, there just weren't enough of them to take orders, turn around tables, etc. Overall, it was a great place and will definitely come back next time I'm in NOLA!

Rebecca S.

If everything in life was served on a biscuit, we would be pretty large, but life would be so much better. OK. The coffee is decent. But if you are a vegetarian you take one look at the menu and you're like "oh snap! I can eat one thing on the menu". Well do not be deceived my fellow vegis. Ask for anything but minus the meat. They also do subs. Try the poached eggs on mushrooms instead of ham. Perfection. Hash browns are also pretty good. Food: What I had was amazing. My husband loved his blueberry pancakes. Service: Not really there- this is a do it yourself place- they do bring you the food though. Staff members are nice.

Art V.

Major disappointment. After reading positive reviews and seeing the line out the door, I assumed this would be a great breakfast choice. Wrong, wrong, wrong. I really don't get it. First, the default coffee is hazelnut flavored (fake, sweet taste). Coffee and water are served in styrofoam and plastic cups (tacky and wasteful). The Eggs Benedict I ordered consisted of cold ham, very watery eggs (undercooked), and a heavy biscuit. Mostly inedible. My friend had the pancakes with chocolate chips, which were just ok, nothing special. Overall, this place seems stuck in a time warp, with mediocre food, tacky touches ( foam cups), and lousy coffee. Don't be fooled by the lines!

this place is solid. the fleur de liis omelette makes my day. I can also get a mocha, and kick back. I recently took a friend here, and she thought it was slow, but hell..... she's not from the big easy... slow down is the key to enjoying life. huge portions, and brightly lit, fast paced, slow moving, but good solid breakfast.

Totally decent joint for a quick, fresh breakfast. My wife, the ultimate breakfast snob, declared that her omelette was "way better than Mother's.". Wasn't crazy about the blaring hip hop over the speakers but food was solid and they are open on Thanksgiving.

Marcus A.

A very average street cafe with food I wouldn't qualify much higher then decent. I had the "muffaletta" although really can you call it a muffaletta when it's not served on muffaletta bread? I would say no, but the owners of this establishment say yes. I got some sun chips on the side and a coke. An unspectacular and brief experience purely for the sake of quenching our hunger.

Armand A.

I have to say that I stumbled upon this place by mere accident last January, and have been back three times, most recently for the Saints NFL kickoff. Small gem in the French Quarter, it has a great menu written beautifully on a chalkboard above the order counter. My favorite is by far the Fleur de Lis omelette, topped with a delicious crawfish sauce, with a side of their awesome hash browns. It is small but hospitable, and the staff is very friendly. And the prices are very reasonable, and the food, again, is just "yummers."
(4)
Megan R.

My breakfast was okay and decently tasty hangover food (turkey and egg sandwich with creole seasoning), but it took nearly 35 min for my friend to get her bowl of gumbo....c'mon, the gumbo is already made, just put it in a bowl with some rice. Also it was pretty dirty inside and the staff was very rude for such a popular area/city/tourist attraction. Never again.

I found this little cafe while wandering around near my hotel. They had iced tea, espresso drinks, breakfast food, and sandwiches, all of which I tried while staying in NOLA. My first meal there was a grilled veggie sandwich on whole wheat to go. The place wasn't particularly crowded, but it took them almost 30 minutes to produce my sandwich. I was kind of shocked. And this was while I was hovering near the counter trying not to be a pain. The sandwich was soggy and flavorless. My second visit was better and bumped this place up to 3 stars- I got a three-cheese omelette with wheat toast and hash browns. Delicious! Omelette wasn't greasy and the hash browns were very tasty. Yum. Based on this limited sampling I'd say - order the breakfast food, no matter what time of day it is. I love finding a little cafe to get my cappucino fix, but there's better food and drink elsewhere in the city.

I had the seafood omlett and was skeptical that it would be worth 12 dollars. It was. The crawfish sauce is etouffe sauce and is heavenly with the omlett.
(5)
Jeff C.

Just an ok place, typical so-so food, nothing to write home about. I ordered omlette Fleur De Lis. Other than a handful of tiny crawfish tails, it is not that different from a regular cheese omlette for any diner in NJ. Same could be said of potato, and coffee. Not really worth the price tag. Service is slow, the waitress was busy chatting with another customer that I had to remind her that my food was ready and getting cold at the counter.

Solid 2 . This is just a run of the mill diner here how evr u slice it. The service is mediocre and their mochas watered down. Got the fleur de lis omelet and it was blah.. Also got the blue berry waffles,$7 for one stanard size waffle btw, would only wow me if I got it from mcdonald. Bottom line is Without putting in consideration that they forgot to make our food for 30mins , no fork/ knife it's still just a 2. It'd be a 1 if I didn't have hopes that this place can do better

Austin V.

Fantastic breakfast spot. I went on two occasions and varying degrees of service both times, but both times, the food was excellent. The first time, the line was 10 deep, and growing mostly because the counter girl was slower than molasses to enter in a order. It might have been because she kept screwing it up: My rib eye steak and eggs some how turned into ham steak and eggs.... the hashbrowns are excellent here but when we went back on Sunday, they weren't serving hash browns, only grits.... I opted for biscuits and eggs which were fantastic as well... Great breakfast to grease you up after a night of drinking or you just want a well grilled meal. Best practice, walk in to the back counter, order your meal and then grab a seat - no wait staff. They offer up great bloody mary's for those in need a little hair of the dog. I say some of the talent that walked in and out of here were better than the bar scene and much funner to talk to. Unfortunately the busers take advantage of this also and the tables suffer with plenty of dirty dishes waiting to be taken care of... even when still when your food comes out... Go and enjoy.

Katie B.

This is the best place for breakfast in New Orleans! The only problem with this place is the wait. You wait in line to order your food and then find a seat. With 10-12 people in front of us...it was about 45 minutes to get to the front of the line. It works out though...because by the time you order..the people who were in the front of the line when you got there are getting up from their table! I got the Bacon, Egg and Cheese Croissant and it was amazing. I never order anything like that but I saw somebody else with it and I couldn't resist. The prices are decent and it's tucked away in a very convenient spot in the French Quarter. If you are in the area...this place is a MUST!

A friend and I found this little cafe on our way back to the hotel one afternoon and decided that we should keep it in mind to try out before we left. Turns out we went there the very next morning for a well needed hangover cure before a lengthy day of sight seeing and an even longer night of roaming around Bourbon Street. The menu is listed on huge black chalkboards above the counter where you order, although if you don't feel like craning your neck backwards and squinting from your spot in line, you can find a paper copy close to the entrance or left on tables. It's your typical cafe menu (bagels, omlettes, breakfast platters, etc.) with a slight french twist to some dishes (i.e. you can order a "fresh" croissant instead of toast). The prices aren't too bad either--about 6 or 7 bucks for a breakfast platter, 2 or 3 bucks for a special coffee. The line can get pretty long, but I don't see it as the kind of place with a line out the door as there are tons of other similar cafes splattered all over the French Quarter. You have to order at the counter, take your number card and try to find a place to sit. The turnover in this place is pretty quick, so it shouldn't be too hard to find a seat and you can always move tables if necessary. If you don't want to eat there, I think you can also get the food to go. Since the place is small, it's easy to feel very crowded in there when the line is long, so I recommend sitting by the door if you can snag a spot, makes it feel a little more open. I got a breakfast platter with eggs, hash browns, bacon and a croissant instead of toast. The eggs were fine (I don't like yolk, so I only order the whites and it's very hard to mess those up); the hash browns were great, shredded and greasy (maybe a little too greasy) with random bites of crispy potatoes mixed in; the croissant was ok...it was supposed to be warm and buttered but it was more like a crispy flaky mess with a spot of butter; sadly the bacon was greasy and limp instead of nice and crispy like I expected (I ate it anyway.....you can never turn down bacon!). My friends ordered similar platters which came out looking a lot like mine. Overall, the food was a little greasy for my taste, but it did the job.

Linnea B.

Out and about in the French Quarter looking for a likely breakfast spot? Fleur De Lis is a good choice for a casual breakfast. Nothing spectacular, but just what we wanted. You know how sometimes you want something really special and sometimes you want to just belly up to the counter and get some good plain food. We had the two egg breakfast with bacon - just fine - though I wondered if I should have tried the Hashbrown Heaven which sounded wonderfully decadent. Guess I better go back some time and try it!

Had the crawfish omlet, pretty tasty, didn't make my toes curl but it was decent. Was there at 9:30 on a Thursday and didn't have to wait for a table there were a few open. Did wait a bit for the food though. Overall not bad & would go back again

Chris L.

Good stuff. This is right across the street from the W in the French Quarter. There was a great selection of breakfast items. I went with a croissant with egg, cheese, and sausage. Breakfast was less than $10 and delicious. The dude that brought out the food thought that my coworker was my wife. As soon as I told him she was my coworker, he was all up in her grill. I laughed my ass off.

It was Christmas morning and we needed some breakfast. We didn't want to pay a huge amount for a hotel brunch because we were going to a Christmas dinner at 2 pm, I googled and found that this place was open and not too far from our hotel. It is a very casual place with only about 12 tables or so, you order at the counter and they deliver the food to your table. The service was fast, and my combo of eggs, bacon, pancakes, hash browns, toast and pancakes was massive for $10. The eggs were properly cooked and the bacon and sausage were good. I would have liked my hash browns crispier, but they had good flavor so it was okay. But the star of the show was the pancakes, they were light and fluffy, but had crisped a little on the griddle, they were so, so good! My dad loved his eggs benefit and my mom thought her eggs were good too. The only person who wasn't a fan was my sister, she didn't like that the omelet ingredients were just in the middle of the omelette instead of mixed in with the egg mixture, but I think that was just her being difficult! If it wasn't for her dislike of the place, I am sure we would have gone again another morning....next time we will just have to overrule her vote!

David S.

We were tired of our free hotel breakfasts, so we set forth into the French Quarter and let Yelp take us here. Monday at 8am must have been a quiet time, because there was no line, though people arrived steadily after we did. Food was OK, not outstanding (veggie omelets), a bit on the greasy side. Service was counter-surly. Coffee was only so-so, and, of course, no refills. I'd go back, but I'd try somewhere else before doing so.

Maybe the best pancakes I've ever had! Like most breakfast places a little pricey I felt but I guess you have to pay the rent.

Awesome. And very filling. Hash brown heaven is exactly as it sounds and is definitely reccomended.

Ben L.

I wouldn't rate this 5 stars, but a strong adequate. We had ham, cheese, and egg croissants. The cheese was viscous, American, combining artificiality with flavor. Sort of like ballpark cheese -- something is wrong but a part of you likes it anyway. Cafe au lait was good. The system seems to work -- by the time you order, stand around a bit, and your food comes out there is usually a table open. Except for when fuckfaces behind you in line split up so one orders and the other squats on a table. Then the delicate celestial balance is ruined. Oh, and it's cheapish. That counts for something.

We were in desperate need of a legitimate breakfast. Neither of us had slept, and we were hungry. We had tried Cafe du Monde, but they only serve donuts and it seemed like we might wait forever to get those donuts (ok... beignets). So we went in search of breakfast, and Wanda came to our rescue. She was standing in the street trying to beckon people into the restaurant for which she works, and she directed us to Fleur-de-Lis. I ordered the egg and cheese sandwich on a croissant, and it came with hash browns. It was ok. It definitely sufficed. My coworker ordered a BLT. It seemed to definitely do the trick for him. You order at a counter and then they bring you the food. They have your normal diner fair, and it seemed to be a fairly busy restaurant. It is only open until 3pm, so it is definitely focused on the hungover crowd. I would eat there again because it was the only legit breakfast place we saw, but if I found another, I would definitely try something else.

Possibly the best breakfast in the French Quarter. Big portions at a small price. Seems more like a locals spot. Try the hash brown meltdown. A layer of hash browns topped with cheese, bacon, poached eggs then country gravy poured all over it. I am craving it again already. They also had a crayfish quiche that looked pretty damn good.
(5)
Mark N.

In NO on business, and always try to eat where the locals do, or at least avoid the chains. This place came highly recommended. I was all set for a great breakfast, and was so disappointed. Took 30 minutes to get food, which was overcooked after sitting under heat lamps. Totally uninterested and full of attitude service. They were busy, so may have something to do with it, but I won't be back.

Neither the Cajun or seafood omelets were very good. The omelet I had at Muriel's was much better. Was told this place was amazing, but there are dozens of better places to eat in the area. Would not go back.

Beware the dirty door. If you are brave enough to walk past them, then you are at your own risk of discovering that Denny's is actually above average to this hole-in-the-wall that should have been shuttered for good after 2003. What is worst than bad coffee, bad service. I ordered a cinnamon roll which took 20 minutes to arrive at my table. It was heated, but I had to remind the server after my coffee was halfway gone (and cold, after waiting about 20 minutes from when it started out to be tepid to start with) to bring me my cinnamon roll. When he did, it was not the one with nuts on top, so I had to send it back. This time, I stood by the counter to make sure I did not wait another 20 minutes just to get a cinnamon roll. Mind you, this cinnamon roll was on a tray inside a pastry display counter. Halfway through eating my cinnamon roll, the produce delivery showed up. This had to be rolled from the front of the cafe' so the delivery guy had to tap me on the shoulder to ask for me to make way. At this point, we stood up and left. Four doors down, we passed a coffee shop that seemed empty. I was willing to bet that they would have better coffee and better danish. I am here now for the last hour enjoying a nice sun-drenched table front and center to the French Quarter in NOLA. Now, my vacation is about to start. Read further on for my review of La Boucherie

Wonderful breakfast cusine. My fiancÃ© and I checked this place out after reading the reviews here on yelp! Some of the best pancakes, ever. If you are a breakfast eater, make sure to put this on your short list.

For me, at 8:45 on a Sunday morning, the wait wasn't bad- I was maybe behind 5 people. I got the Fleur de Lis Omlette and cafe au lait. The cafe au lait was alright. The omlette came with toast, and nice peppry hashbrowns. The omlette itself was covered in a tasty crawfish sauce, and inside were crawfish tails, green peppers, onions, melted cheese ... and wax paper.

Yummmy!!! Good breakfast at good prices!! Large food selection. Went in for breakfast early before a flight and had a great quick meal. If you don't want to pay the high hotel breakfast prices, try this out. You will be pleasantly surprised.

As it was already past noon on a Tuesday and we wanted breakfast fast, this was the right call. It is order at the counter, pay, and they bring it out to your table. Good sized omelets, with tasty hash browns and toast. Nothing fancy, but fits the bill for a filling breakfast with no hassle.

Great breakfast. We had about 4 different meals and they were all great. Not much in the way of fruit, yogurt, or granola. The coffee also was below average. If you are in the mood for eggs, bacon, sausage, hashbrowns, and pancakes this is the place. They can make a breakfast sandwich to go, on sourdough, muffin, or bagels. A great start to the day.

Noisy, crowded and not a lot of seating when it's busy, but a good stop for a late breakfast if you can't make it to the IHOP that isn't far away. Good food. Bad coffee. I only had their breakfast sandwiches and hash browns, but everything was tasy.

Crystle W.

Had the crawfish omelette with sauce, it was o.k., would probably get a different omelette next time. My friend got the blueberry pancakes with sausage link, really delicious, we each had coffee, bill was $26 Quaint little business, service was fast, no problem getting a table, but it was a Wednesday. Would definitely go back.

Ann S.

The portions were generous and delicous! The eggs were a perfect sunny side up and the hashbrowns wonderful. My husband had a ham and cheese omelet with tons of ham in it. The coffee was good and the rolls looked great, but no room to try them. We were checked on several times to see if everything was ok, which was much appreciated. We were about to turn around and leave the first time we ate here as the place was packed and it did not seem possible that we would ever get a table. We were so wrong!! They have an incredible system here that keeps things flowing and we never saw anyone get their food with out having a table to sit at. The staff is amazing. They efficiently keep an eye on the line, the tables and the supplies, clearing tables instantly and seating you as soon as you have ordered. You come in and stand in line to order. DO NOT try to grab a table right away. That is not allowed! :-) I was very skeptical that we would get a table, but Flo promised me we would have one and she was right both days we ate there. They do an incredible job of serving great food at reasonable prices!! Go, try it!!

I hate being the first person to write a negative review, but our brunch experience here was not pleasant. My friend ordered the vegetarian omelette with egg whites, and they made it with whole eggs. This was after they completely forgot about her order in the first place and we had to remind them that she has yet to get her food. Being a carboholic, I ordered banana pancakes, wrongly assuming that mashed bananas would be mixed into the pancake mix. Instead, banana pancakes meant greasy plain pancakes with a few slices of brown-colored bananas. (Cue chorus: "Ew.") I do like the local feel to this place, though. Give it a try if you're looking for a heavy breakfast/brunch to cure that hangover and you don't mind clogging a few arteries.

Zoey C.

One of the better breakfast's I had in the french quarter. You order at the counter and then someone brings the food out to you. They offer decent pastries, omelets, pancakes, breakfast sandwiches, etc. I'm not sure that the stuff is homemade from scratch.. I noticed the homefries were just your basic frozen in a box shredded potatoes. The coffee here is drinkable, which seems to be a hard thing to find in New Orleans! Staff is friendly.

Nathan S.

A great local breakfast spot, with very limited seating. The pancakes, an omelets were extremely tasty! It kind of blends in with some of the French Quarter garishness, so don't miss it!
(4)
Matt S.

Great place to grab a breakfast. Big servings of what you need to cure a hangover. You order at the counter and they bring it to your table. This is probably a 3.5 star place, but since there are so many bad places in the quarter, I'm rounding up.

K. G.

I depend so heavily on Yelp reviews that I feel I need to return the favor when I haven't gotten the full, ahem, flavor of the place from others' descriptions. First, the food is DELICIOUS!! Second, the staff could not have been more attentive or tried harder. They truly demonstrated the word "hustle". So why the three stars? Because I'm a "complete experience" person and I couldn't get past the ambience of the brown laminate tables, disposable grocery store plastic plates, plastic servingware, and fetching your own condiments (although I did see a server bring some to a forgetful diner upon request). For the same price, I can get the same excellent dishes - no real creativity on this menu - at many other competitive locations with better ambience. But, I do want to keep stressing the food was so delicious that I ate past the point of discomfort, you could see the cooks moving quickly with purposefulness, the servers would check on tables as they were returning to the kitchen AND they had a floor manager moving about constantly to ensure all was as it should be. the place is tiny - maybe 16 tables? - so that last detail floored me. I've gotten around my ambience hangup by ordering food to go, so there! They're still getting my business AND I'm creating a free table in the process!

excellent breakfast. The omelettes, hash browns and sandwiches all hit the spot. will definetly try this spot again

John R.

Busy as advertised. You order at the counter then sit down and they deliver the food to your table. Coffee freshly ground and very good. Ordered Western Omelet which came with one slice of toast and shredded hash browns. Omelet only so-so. Very greasy. It contained sausage, bacon, and ham inside that were charred to the point of losing their original flavors. Observed others with pancakes and waffles which seemed more desirable. Would go back again because the coffee was good and there is a lot of other menu choices. Staff was friendly. Total cost with $1 tip in the tip jar was $16.09.

Good breakfast and staff... the hash browns are killer but the coffee is on the mediocre side.

Adam B.

Fleur De Lis serves straightforward breakfast fare and sandwiches for lunch. Its surely better than having a hotel restaurant buffet and very close to the hotels near Canal. As other reviewers mentioned, the varieties of waffles or pancakes (pecan, blueberry, banana, etc) are simply plain waffles/pancakes with mediocre topping tossed on. The blueberries, which I ordered, seemed to be out of a jar. The waffles were not crisp. After sitting and watching other patrons order - I would recommend their cinnamon rolls, greasier fare such as eggs and bacon, and hash browns. The line ebbed and flowed on a Saturday at 9am but there wasn't a problem getting a table. Service at the counter was brusque but polite and food came out relatively quick.

cafe fleur de lis has a simply amazing breakfast menu. the everything hashbrowns were heart attack heaven! gravy, cheese, bacon, sausage, ham... mmmmmmmmmm mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm the fleur de lis omelette was divine... tres magnifique! crawfish, peppers, cheese... bliss folded into fluffy eggs!

Jonathan R.

Best breakfast in the quarter hands down. The seafood omelet is outstanding and their pancakes are some of the best i've ever had. It's a little pricey for breakfast/brunch, but well worth it.

Lisa K.

Cute little restaurant, you come in and order your food at the counter, sit yourself at any open table and they bring out your food. I got the big easy breakfast, comes with 2 big pancakes, 2 sausage patties, 2 bacon strips, hash browns/grits, 2 eggs, and white/wheat toast. I am a small girl but can eat a lot, even my waitress laughed and said she was surprised I ate it all! Everything was tasty but I could do without the lifeless soft bacon! I like my bacon extra crispy :) Oh, and I ordered my eggs over medium and they were sadly overcooked, like a fried egg! 2nd visit, for a quick breakfast I got the cinnamon oatmeal with blueberries to go. Definitely not one of their best items, I would pass on it if I were you! Bleck.

Kaylan A.

This place was so warm and welcoming. It's easy to miss if you're not looking for it. The staff was wonderful and the service was great. The pancakes were the perfect blend of butter and fluffiness. The asparagus omelette was delicious, there was tad too much prosciutto in it for my taste, but still a must try! The drinks are strong, so if your into some delicious brunch and a little buzz, try this place.

Chrishelle C.

Awesome spot in the French Quarter. We had breakfast here and was quite satisfied. It is a quaint unassuming spot that takes a fresh approach to down home. The mellow jazz playing in the background allows you to reflect on (or forget) the prior 12+ hours of debauchery and prepare for a new day of adventure. My husbands Big Easy Breakfast was HUGE and pancakes were good. My shrimp and grits were pretty tasty. I love garlic so I would have preferred a bit more but all in all a great experience.
(4)
Jeannetta J.

This is the best place to eat breakfast if you are in the fq!! The omelettes are enough to make you want to kiss the cook!!!!!!!!! From the hash browns that they use garlic seasoning with down to the pancakes. This place isn't that big, and every time I come its filled. I will always come here for breakfast anytime im in the fq

Bacon Bloody Mary was amazing - definitely a must here. We also really enjoyed the seafood eggs Benedict. Our server was really good, service was quick and price was reasonable. We will definitely make it a point to come back here when we visit New Orleans again.

This was actually one of the best meals we had in New Orleans. Our family raved about the French toast, the hot chocolate, and the blueberry pancakes (which had giant, fresh fruit).

Ashley M.

Super disappointing. After standing in the rain to get in, the food was not good. My husband ordered the 2 egg breakfast with bacon and hashbrowns. There was one slice of bacon and the hash browns were bland and watery. I got the shrimp and grits. The shrimp had a really good flavor but the grits were really bland. I have to believe that the kitchen was having an off day because of all the positive reviews. However, based on our experience we won't be back.

Camille M.

I didn't eat my food because the woman who runs the cash register was touching money then touching our food. There's a reason I wash my hands before I eat and that totally canceled it out! I was nice to give three stars to this place. Bagels are small. It's not a bad idea to stay away from any place with a neon sign.

Great food, good portion size for the money. Considering the place is small and six servers were on service was slow. Definitely need to step up the customer service game. Over all good though.

Courtney D.

When I tell you my eyes rolled to the back of my head, just know it was in a very good way. This is my Mecca. Slap my fanny and call me quadroon cause I am home. Buttermilk pancakes as big as the plate, fluffy yet dense and moist, on another elemental plane. Hash browns, hash, bacon, omlette with seafood ettoufe. This was hands down the second best meals I ever had. And then there was the bloody Mary. It was Drake- The best I ever had. And no one looks at you funy at 9;30 am when you order unless you ask for a virgin. They top'em with pickled okra, olive, and green bean- like manna from heaven. Now I know why old ladies in Florida drink'em. Is 35 old cause I'm starting also. Now. Except I'm going to retire inNew Orleans.

Great place for brunch! The restaurant is a little small but the service is great and their mimosas and bloody Mary's were awesome. Definitely order the pancakes! I wish the grits were a little more interesting but overall the food and service was good.

Ted S.

Simply awful. Our friendly waitress recommended the benedict dishes, which are served atop their biscuits. My wife had the florentine, which she thought was not bad, but the hash browns got a single bite. I couldn't eat mine either. No crisp anywhere, and a strange buttery lemony flavor. Not good. I had the crab cake benedict, which was a disaster. The waitress said everything was super fresh and made to order. Our plates were out, I kid you not, in less than two minutes. The poached eggs were room temperature and overcooked, and the crab was cold, and way, way too salty. I had one bite and scraped it aside. I then moved my biscuit away from the too heavy hollandaise, and just ended up eating the miserable poached eggs. At $7 per egg, I was disappointed.

Sue T.

The kind maitre d' greeted me at the door and found me a seat at one of the few tables in this small cafÃ©. It was so small that he had to use my table for pitchers of water and tubs of dishes as he cleared other tables. But he was really nice about it. I recommend the Fleur-de-lis omelet--green peppers, onion, provolone and bits of sausage, covered with a mildly spicy red sauce and crawfish. This came with wholegrain toast and fried hash browns. The bloody Marys with bacon-infused vodka and full strips of bacon swizzle sticks looked amazing--it was just too early for me to indulge.
(3)
Bill W.

The eggs Benedict on homemade biscuit was very good. However, their less than accommodating behavior toward a service animal will prevent me from returning. Plus I watched how they try to seat older people to less desirable tables. On the bright side our server Jessica was awesome!!! So ask for Jessie's girl and she will take care of your breakfast needs. Ps Jessie is a local and gives great tips on where to go and what to see while in the big easy.

Natalie C.

Visited this place again cause I loved it so much the first time and it didn't disappoint. I ordered the same big easy as I had before and regretted once I saw my friend's French Toast.. It was sooooo good!! Even though I enjoyed my food I wish I would have order that instead!! Wish I can find a place in Dallas that serves French toast like that!!!! You won't regret it!!
(4)
Brian R.

Excellent breakfast. The boudin sausage was great, as were the grits and the biscuit was amazing. My wife had the Seafood Benedict of which I had a bite and it was amazing! Service was great. If you are here for a few days, Try this place, Jimmy J's and Cafe at the Square. All great. To address other reviews: Yes it's small and cramped, but you go there for the food. Get over it. It's New Orleans.
(4)
Rebecca S.

Best breakfast I had in New Orleans. I got their pancakes which were amazing and tried grits here for the first time. Of all the grits I tasted over the course of my trip these were the best. It's not a particularly fancy place and it is cluttered but that said for what it is- its great. Prices are very fair and the food is solid.

Gloria H.

Glad I bookmarked this place. Just blocks from the hotel, it was a nice easy walk to get some good breakfast. Go straight toward the register to place your order - DO NOT sit down or ask anyone in your party to grab a table, that's a no-no and you'll be asked to move. Their policy on the table is first come first serve so no table unless you have a order number. The menu is right above the register and to the left. If I am not mistaken, there's one person working on the grill for everyone's meals - kudos for turning the orders around so quickly! The line may look long because everyone in the parties are standing around but it moves relatively fast so know what to order when it's your turn. We ordered the Big Easy Breakfast and 2 small coffee and the order was plenty for the two of us. It has everything - pancakes, toasts, eggs, bacon, sausage and your choice of grits or hash brown. We opted for the hash brown. The eggs (over easy) were perfectly cooked. The hash brown was delicious. The stars to us were the sausage patties and the pancakes - YUM! It was such a good experience that we returned for our last breakfast in NOLA before heading to the airport.

Jessie M.

A small and quaint little breakfast/lunch diner. My friend and I actually stumbled in after getting lost trying to find another cafe. We started off with two huge cups of coffee and a cute little pitcher of cream. He got the Fleur De Lis omelet, and said it was the best one he'd ever had. It had kind of a seafood twist to it that made it unique. I got the basic two egg platter, but it was still amazing right down to the toast and hash browns (which I usually hate). Overall it was a great little place to start the day and the waiter was really friendly and suggestive. I recommend!

We ate only one breakfast on our trip to NOLA (usually opting for lunches instead) but this place was a winner. We ate there Easter Sunday, and it still wasn't a horrible wait. As previously mentioned, go there, get in line, don't commandeer a table until you have an order number. Order at the bar, take a number, food will be delivered in an amazingly timely manner. Don't worry, you'll get a table. Everyone moves along, eats, and leaves. The kitchen operates at warp-speed. Great coffee. Spouse had the NOLA special and I had eggs benedict (which comes with a side of hash browns). For $27.22, we had enough nourishment to see us through to dinner. Food was just right for what it is and beats the heck out of the pricey brunches and hotel breakfasts in the French Quarter. NOTE: on some webpages this place is given under an address on St. Charles. Wrong. It is in the middle of the Quarter on Chartres St.

Mike Z.

For a "hole in a wall" type of place it was just ok both the food and service wise. Prices are not as cheap as they claim to be and cleanliness not that great either. Although we have had worst we also had better breakfast at other places. I realize it "Big Easy" so not complaining of speed of service. If you are going for a breakfast be prepared to wait for the table because the place it fairly small, I'd say maybe total of 10 tables. Oh yea, and push the door instead of pulling on it - it helps :)

J. K.

Thought we were in the wrong place based on the pictures posted on Yelp. It no longer has a walk up and order counter. Now you seat yourself and get your order taken. Again with the cooks standing outside the restaurant smoking and on their phones. As we were being seated, one cook walked in from outside while putting on his "sanitary" gloves. No hand washing... just gloves being put on with dirty hands to dirty hands. Am I the only person that cares about hygiene and that is concerned about disease? We had to eat here because the kiddos were antsy and starving. The French toast was good. Pancakes were good. Absolutely nothing special about this place, though. Basic breakfast place with very poor hygiene.

Kristie A.

I was looking for a good breakfast place and I was glad to have found this dime. I ordered Seafood Benedict and oh my- it was delicious! A biscuit with seafood patty and poached egg on top. It was absolutely delicious. It didn't need any more seasoning. The seafood patty is really where it's at! I was going to order French toast but I thought, hey I'm in New Orleans I gotta try something new. However, I did see my table neighbor ordering it and it did look delicious as well. Very big portions! I highly recommend this neat little cafe! I'm so glad I found it on yelp!

Very attentive staff and excellent decor. Had the seafood Benedict and my friend had the creole breakfast. The food was presented nicely and very memorable flavor especially the grits and the seafood cake. There was spice but not overpowering. I would recommend checking this place out if your from out of town you won't regret it.

OMG!! Their food is so good!! Seafood Benedict can't be topped. Eggs cooked perfectly and a kick of spice. Sausage is delish!

Mary E.

Our server was nice. The cook, not so much. After we ordered, a different server than our original one, brought us our food. My Wakeup Burger was served with an egg that was completely raw and cold on the top. It looked like someone sneezed an egg onto my burger. I asked that the egg be cooked more thoroughly, not thinking much of it, and after having the server point me out, the cook cast a glare at me and put my plate in the microwave, instead of simply cooking the egg a little more. My plate was returned with the egg still raw and the rest of the food ruined. Not sure why the 2nd server found that acceptable. It was pretty upsetting. Our original server offered to get me something else and removed the uneaten burger from my bill, which I appreciated, but I opted not to order anything else.

Stopped in for lunch. Waiter had no personality. None of the wait staff were really friendly, very somber atmosphere. A cook pointed out to our waiter that a table needed his attention. Had a Poor Boy shrimp sandwich. I think these sandwiches are special because of the roll. Hard to say but the roll seemed like it was day old and not fresh for the day. The meal came with fries, they were okay. Would i recommend friends to eat here , no. The place was very uninspiring.

This place is great! The service is wonderful, the staff is very friendly and kind; and the food... If I could have licked my plate I would have. Have the grits, they are well worth it. And the coffee will truly start your morning off right. Everything was so good in fact, that I had breakfast there two days in a row. A++ Chris from Chicago

Johnny P.

We come here often, and always enjoy our food. It is always fresh and there are moderately healthy and vegetarian options. It's the perfect breakfast after a night out, and the kind of place where you could order a coffee or a Bloody Mary with your food and either way it's all good. Two things to note are the mid-afternoon closing time and that there is no A/C.
(5)
Thomas A.

I love this homestyle like atmosphere of a restaurant/diner. It was pretty quiet when I went on a Saturday morning for breakfast. There was only 1 other table being served. As I was eating here, it was slowly getting more of a crowd. You know the place is a good place to eat when you see locals coming by and the servers know them. It means the food is good enough to come back on a consistent basis. The servers were friendly. I ordered shrimp and grits & a coffee. As I was drinking my coffee, i noticed the menu mentioned chicory coffee, so I inquired about it. Unknown to me, I already had some chicory coffee when I ate at cafe du monde the day before, but the flavors were masked by the milk. THe server mentioned that Chicory is a substitute to the coffee bean, and sometimes it comes as a mix since the New Orleans people are used to the flavor. It has an herbal/bitter taste to it, but I actually don't mind it. It adds another dimension to coffee flavor. The server was kind enough to provide me with a sample of the chicory coffee so I can taste the difference. The shrimp and grits were banging! Fresh Louisiana Gulf shrimp sautÃ©ed with garlic, butter and shallots served over generous portion of cheddar cheese grits. It was all that and then some. It had some brown drizzle that enhanced the flavor, which I'm pretty sure is Worcestershire sauce. The creaminess of the butter and cheese melting into the grits provided a nice smooth heavy balance to the juicy shrimp. It was salty, sweet, tart,...it hit all the palates of my taste buds, and I couldn't stop my spoon for scooping the bowl clean. I definitely will come back here again the next time I am in New Orleans since it is a short walk from Bourbon.

Rennette F.

Loved every part of our breakfast. We ordered the Creole Country breakfast & Shrimp & Grits. Spectacular, the biscuit & grits were awesome. The dish also came with Boudin sausage. It was my first time trying this pork & rice type sausage and it was ok just not my favorite because of the texture but great flavor. The hurrican was good "breakfast stength" could've used more of a punch! The shrimp and grits was great too esp the amount if shrimp you get. If you're not a fan of very saucy food you may want to get the shrimp/sauce on the side. Service was quick & friendly. They can be a wait, ours was 45 minutes, but it flew by without roam around Chatars Street

Cafe Fleuer De Lis is one of the great breakfast places that abound the French Quarter. Walk a few blocks from Bourbon Street and you are on a quiet street and nobody bothers you to enter a bar or club. Cafe Fleur De Lis offers a nice variety of omelets, pancakes and some of the thickest grits you will find. You don't jog after eating grits here. You might waddle but you won't be jogging for a day. Pancakes with bananas are my favorite and only about seven dollars.

It might not be the best breakfast of my life nor the place I would choose for every morning meal, but out of all other places in French Quarter, over the 5 days of us being here, it is by far the best. I got spinach feta wrap, and it was very tasty. Staff was super nice and helpful. Open on Xmas.

The food was edible, the servers polite. I will give them that. We arrived a bit after 2pm, the place was packed, but they had a table ready for us quickly. The menu selection looks good, and my fiancÃ©e says the mocha was good. I had a iced chocolate coffee. It was VERY watery. He ordered the eggs Benedict, the muffin was scorched, ham was overlooked, and hollandaise sauce was overpowered by the hot sauce they added. I had the big easy breakfast platter, which had pancakes, bacon, 2 eggs, sausage, hash browns, and toast. All of it was cold, the bacon was a bit chewy, sausage was meh, pancakes were pretty good, though not exceeding average. I had ordered provolone cheese on my hash browns, and it had melted into them (good) and then then congealed due to getting cold. As to the service, it wasn't much better. After being seated, it was several minutes before the waitress came by to greet us and get our order. After that, another several minutes before she came back with the drinks. The food probably took 20+ minutes to come out after the order was placed. The waitress did not come by at all in this time frame.

by far my favorite breakfast spot in New Orleans! service is always great and the food is too. my mom describes the pancakes as "the best I've ever had" and the peach mimosas are amazing! I also recommend the farmers omelette - delicious!

The breakfast menu is big for a weekday! They have New Orleans favorites like shrimp and grits as well as standby's like eggs florentine and omelets. The food was good, fresh and service was quick

The food here is amazing! I had the shrimp and grits and it was by far the best I have ever had! Along with that, the bacon Bloody Mary was delicious! Every table was packed and the service stayed friendly and on point! This will be a place I return to for sure next time I'm in New Orleans!

This restaurant was great! I visited for breakfast and the shrimp and cheddar grits were very flavorful and filling. Located conveniently in the French Quarter close to Jackson square and it was packed for breakfast but I guess I arrived at a good time because I didn't have to wait. I'm coming back tomorrow to try another menu item!

Fleur de Lis omelette is outstanding. Full breakfast bar menu includes fruit flavored mimosas and bacon bloody Mary's. Great casual spot for a big, tasty breakfast.

So good came two days in a row for breakfast/brunch. Day 1 there was 4 of us. We all ordered different items and it was overall satisfying. Shrimp and grits - the good = the grits are really good. The decent = the shrimp was good as it was cooked in a nice buttery garlic sauce. The bad = too much sauce for my liking poured all over the grits taking away fro their amazingness. The Big Easy - lots of yummy food for a great price. The pancakes are to die for. After taking a couple bite of these from my husbands I knew on day 2's visit I had to order my own pancakes. They are big and filling. The short stack was more than enough. I couldn't even finish it. I was so full. Mimosas are also good. 3 flavors to choose from. I liked the peach best. Another diner with us got and loved the seafood Benedict. While another got another one of the breakfast plates with boudin sausage and a flaky homemade biscuit. This place is a winner. Def check it out of in the area and in the mood for a good breakfast.

This place was great for breakfast with great service and delicious food. Hubby had pancakes with hash browns eggs and sausage with cafe late for drink he was very please (he is not easily impress with food and he was happy with everything so that's good for me) Kids had pancake with fresh fruit and French toast with fresh fruit which they also love for drinks they had chocolate milk and fresh squeeze OJ. For me Eggs Benedict with hash browns and a house coffee. Best hash browns I ever had will recommend anybody this place which by the way we found with the help of Yelp :)))

The best bread pudding in NOLA. I happen to be a bread pudding connoisseur (pronounced common sewer) and it's the best here. Also the best bloody marys, omelets and just about everything they have on the menu. Is that a crawfish in your bloody? Yes it is!

The staff there is not very friendly. I got eggs Benedict which was covered in way too much hollandaise sauce. The sauce also had way too much cayenne pepper on it which made it unnecessarily spicy. The biscuits were salty. The only good part was the hash browns that came with the meal.

This place is a quaint little gem.It's easy to find and you can get a whole delicious breakfast for $20. I had a mimosa, biscuit and shrimp and grits and it was all delish!

This place is great! This was the scene of our final Nola breakfast at the end of my bachelorette weekend and it was the perfect ending. Since we were still on vacay, we obviously had to go with bloody marys - extra spicy. They were solid, but the real show stopper here was the iced coffee! I ordered a glass and couldn't stop raving about it so one of my friend ordered one too, and after her first sip, she shared my sentiments. Neither of us put anything in the coffee - no sweetener, no milk - because the flavor was just so great on it's own. I was seriously impressed. As for my food, I opted to try the spinach and feta wrap. It was quite tasty, but pretty messy. It was clearly cooked with butter/oil, so it was hard to pick up and eat. I'm not a butter fan, so I ended up using my fork and tearing apart the wrap to get the good stuff (aka eggs, feta, and spinach). Whatever works, right? It was served with hash browns and a biscuit, both indulgent and delicious. I only ate a bite of the biscuit because I was trying to have a little self control, but one of my friends ate the rest so it didn't go to waste. And the hash browns were the shredded kind, which are my favorite. I couldn't say no to those. Our server was also great and made the experience even more enjoyable. Like I said, a perfect ending to a perfect weekend!

Very busy place for breakfast; for a good reason. The welcoming and up-front service is friendly and fast, and, the food is good. So, what can you do with breakfast? 1) Good, strong coffee with real dairy offerings. 2) Biscuits or good breads. 3) Potatoes and onions that are fresh, not frozen. And, 4) thick-sliced bacon with a tasty flavor. They have other good-sounding offerings that I would gladly go back and try again. The prices are reasonable for the area and portions are better than many other places nearby. A star is withheld because of the coffee service treatment. The "endless-coffee" for $2.75 on the menu is not quite accurate. After one refill you get your check and no further attention until you pay your bill. Ask for coffee then, forget it as you are forgotten. The message is that it's time for you to leave the table. Lots of subtle cues to leave quickly during your meal as your dishes are bussed-away individually as each person finishes eating. Ok, I get people may be waiting for a table but I've not felt that "get out feeling" more anywhere else.

The hubs and I flew into NOLA late the night before, so we crashed near the airport instead of driving to the 'dell late. That meant a morning and afternoon to tool around the quarter before heading home! The hubs' brother suggested we drop into this cafe for some eats and to say hello to his wife, our sister-in-law. Cute, little place - delicious menu - too many choices! I saw someone's pancakes come out and they looked fluffy and nom-worthy, but I decided to go with something that had a little more local flavor. Enter... the seafood benedict! YUM!! The crab and crawfish patties were so tasty, the biscuit underneath was impossibly light. I liked the hollandaise sauce, but would have loved it if it had come out piping hot and not lukewarm. The hashbrowns that came on the side were WAAAAYYY too salty for my liking, but the hubs had no problem chowing down. Note to self, check his blood pressure. The man ordered shrimp and grits, one of our fave things to make at home, AKA a heart attack on a plate but you go out happy. Anyway, the shrimp were cooked well.. not overdone and rubbery the way they can get but I imagine in the Crescent City they know how to cook a scrimp! He said the grits were perfect - not too runny, not too solid. His only complaint was the gravy - he said it tasted strongly of worchestershire (did I spell that right!?) was overpowering. We'd absolutely go back to this place - there were more items I'd like to try. Tasty!

Great bacon bloody mary. Boudin omelet was delicious. Little bit of a wait but the have "no wait" technology that will text you when your table is ready so you can walk the French Quarter while you wait.

This is really 3.5 stars, but this place was so cute, I'm pushing to a 4. The Line Up: Chai Tea Latte Fleur De Lis Panini Big Easy Breakfast The Verdict: The latte was fantastic & was a nice treat on a cool morning. The panini was huge & tasty, I took 1/2 back to the hotel. Warning: this is not a standard pressed type panini. It was thick on amazing thick bread. It was an awesome leftover at the end of the night to nosh on after a day of VoodDoo Fest. Big Easy Breakfast...standard meal, the pancakes were a plus.

My fiance and I came here yesterday morning before going to Jazzfest. We wandered around looking at places on the western end of The Quarter for a place to grab some breakfast until we decided to come back here. This place might deceive someone who thinks that a 'pretty' little place like this won't fill them up with all this is right and good about breakfast but you're in the French Quarter, you should know better! Elaine had the prosciutto and asparagus omelette, I had the shrimp and grits. The shrimp and grits were better than the shrimp and grits we had the night before at The World Famous Oyster Bar-and those were very good! At first it looked like there were only three or four shrimp but there were at least six. Warm, creamy happiness with perfectly spiced shrimp. If I were a cat, I would have been purring. The omelette was as loaded with goodies and came with a side of hash browns. It was delicious. Then there were the drinks. The mimosa was a very good size. Not the little dainty drinks that most places serve, The Bloody Mary was also a good size and both were very good and very potent. So good we each got one to go! We both loved this little gem. It has the whole package...good food, good portions, good service and great ambiance. If we lived there, it would be somewhere we would frequent on a regular basis. I think that sums it up best!

We just spent 4 days in New Orleans, had breakfast twice at CafÃ© Fleur De Lis, and it is the only place where we ate more than once. We like simple food, delivered without a lot of fuss, and we had that experience both times. Great coffee.

Katheryn S.

LOVED the shrimp and grits-- and I am a Northerner. The biscuits were light and buttery yummy. Beware of the crowds in the morning, they have text wait system. But the hostess told me I would receive two texts and the wait would be 20 minutes. After 40 and no text, I returned and was told I was taken off, she was argumentative and even when I showed her my phone she insisted I missed my table. I did get seated--- make sure to check back if you are waiting long. Also we ended up a table near the open doors and my food was cold before I was finished. The waitress laughed and said, "Oh well".

....and I am being generous with that 1 star! Second day in NOLA, we wanted to try another breakfast place beside MENA's Palace (4 stars). We were staying at the W Hotel and one of the workers there suggested this place. You go up to the counter to order your food. Hubby and I decided we will share the Crawfish etouffee omelette. While waiting at least 15mins for our food we watched delivery guys going in and out of this place hauling stuff in. The highly raved omelette finally arrived. I took the first bite and it was COLD in the middle! What? Really? The hubby took it back to let them know that our food was cold. Not to make a big deal about it he even asked to just have it nuked in the microwave (I would've asked for a new one). 5mins past, then 15min, then 20mins!!! We patiently waited thinking that they felt bad and was going to make us a new one. Some lovely guy (NOT!) dropped our plate on our table. My husband and i stared at each other in disbelief! They gave us the same dish back sans our toast that we left on the plate. Horrible, horrible, experience! If you wanna have a nice breakfast walk a little further down the road to Mena's Palace. You won't be disappointed.

best breakfast for an affordable price! during Mardi Gras season they offer king cake french toast (a bit too sweet sounding for us but it's charming addition). The standard egg, pancake, bacon breakfast was under $20 for two folks. Seems to be a hidden treasure with the highest ratings on google for the lowest amount of food. good location, but be careful where you lock your bikes up as folks live in the adjoining homes and don't appreciate your bike blocking their front door. wheelchair accessible bathroom and location.

Lara P.

Have the French toast or the fleur de lis omelette! Both are de-lis-cious! We went in twice- the first day, the service and the food were AMAZING! The second day, our server told us that they did not serve decaf coffee- which we had the day before... other than that, all stars though.

Patricia M.

We had an appointment at noon but needed to get a snack for our kids to tide them over. We let Noah, our waiter, know that we were in a hurry. He rushed the order and brought the check at the same time. While cutting up their fried shrimp, I couldn't resist taking a bite. Oh my goodness, the shrimp may well have been the best shrimp I've ever had. I wasn't keen on the batter so I give 4 not 5 stars. :)

Brad S.

Clean, bright nice decor, and not loud, all the things I like. Service was excellent and so was the food. Priced just right. Had the Seafood Benedict for $12.95. Only complaint would be the menu seemed a little limited. But maybe that's why the food was good. Would definitely come back.

Great breakfast food and fantastic friendly service. We tried to go grab breakfast at Cafe Soule but they stopped serving breakfast early. The waiter at Cafe Soule was kind enough to recommend Fleur-De-Lis for a late breakfast, and we couldn't have enjoyed his recommendation more. The food at Cafe Fleur-De-Lis was fresh and delicious. It had just the right amount of New Orleans style seasoning without being overly Cajun. In fact, other than the hash browns the food was very close to what you would get in an authentic New York Diner. The Hash browns were crispy with a hint of spice, the eggs were fresh and not over cooked and the coffee and cappuccino drinks were perfectly made. Our waitress was friendly, funny and new the menu without having to think about it. She poured some of my fiancÃ©s Cappuccino on herself, and even though she was burned and there was barley more than two drops missing from the drink, she quickly returned to the bar to make a fresh one. I would highly recommend this place to anyone in the French Quarter looking for a great and not overpriced breakfast.

We found this place by accident and we were so glad we did. Employees were very friendly from the moment we opened the door. We did have about a 30 min wait, but it was worth it. They text you when your table is ready, so we got to browse the nearby shops while we waited. Service was top notch. Zero complaints about the breakfast. It was plenty of food - the biscuits were awesome and everything cooked perfectly. Loved every bite! The coffee was also good and the server kept my cup full. When we left, she offered to give me a coffee to go...big bonus in my book. The only negative was the size of the place was very small - it was a little hard to get in and out of our table...people at the table beside us had to move so we could get out of our table. Would not keep me from going back though!

I'm from New York City so I'm used to omelets and oatmeal for breakfast and that's not an easy thing to find in New Orleans. I can't even fathom eating fish for breakfast. I found Cafe Fleur de Lis and saw that it had a normal menu so I figured I'd try it out. I called to find out if the oatmeal was made with milk or water and the person who answered the phone had no idea and was completely thrown for a loop. When I got there I asked if I could get the farmers omelet with egg whites and my waitress had no idea (it turns out you can). My omelet wasn't' bad, but wasn't amazing. The person I was dining with ordered the pancakes and you have a choice of a few things that you can get with them, so he chose bananas. Again, the server had no idea what he was talking about when he ordered the pancakes with bananas. Then when they came to the table she held them up and examined the plate because she thought that they had made them and forgotten the bananas (they didn't). Also, the pancakes were alright, not great. I wouldn't go back here. If you're in the area go to the Camellia Grill down the street. It's so much better.

I have been dreaming about the pancakes her since my first trip to NOLA in 2008. My GF and I always wax poetic about the best pancakes of our lives. We always wondered is it the water, do they put magic dust in it....... WHAT is the deal we those pancakes. This time around after getting off a redeye from Seattle and dropping my bags, I told my travel partner that we had to have these pancakes ASAP. We got there and shared a Eggs Bene and a short stack and they were just amazing as the first time. I was a lil worried my travel partner thought I was going a lil overboard but after her first bite she was very surprised as well. I mean they are just pancakes, but we tried to figure out what makes these so special. Do they use a lil cake batter, or vanilla, or WHAT, it's got to be magic dust I tell you. You must have the PANCAKES!!!! Service is great, prices I swear have not changed since I was here in 2008 and they have had some upgrades to the service. Before you ordered at counter then found a table and now you get full service. They also only had syrup packets back then too, and I still love the pancakes. All in all on this trip I ate here 3 times for breakfast and would have gone everyday!!! Great Bloody Mary's too!!!!

Kate H.

GREAT PANCAKES! It would be 5 stars if I rated solely on pancakes. My sons french toast was soggy but he didn't seem to mind. Not the most kid friendly (no kid menu) so I had to get my 4 year old an adult sized meal. And even though we were only one of 3 tables there, early in the morning, I felt hurried (my kids were behaving nicely and no, we didn't make or leave a big mess). The waiter actually started to take my sons plate away while he still had half the food on it, was chewing, and had his fork in his hand. But give it a try (really those pancakes).

Where to go for breakfast in New Orleans? Quick click on Google for "the best breakfasts in the French Quarter." Up comes Fleur de Lis as one of the choices and as a French professor, how could I resist that name. So off I went. I found a small narrow cafÃ© on bustling Chartes Street and a friendly greeting from the hostess/waitress. It's been over a week and I am still talking about the shrimp and grits that I ordered. It was by far the best thing I ate in New Orleans and if my mother hadn't taught be better, I swear to you that I would have licked the bowl clean--it was that good! The grits were creamy, the shrimp fresh and perfectly done and the gravy to die for. Perhaps that's because the gravy was made with a base of butter and heavy cream. Not great for a Weight Watcher but worth every single Weight Watcher point that I used that day. First place I'll go back to next time in New Orleans. And the cafÃ© au lait took me back to France....

This was extremely difficult to rate. The food was really good. We had the French toast which came with a side of fresh fruit. All was very tasty. We actually stopped in hoping for a pastry and coffee as a nice break during our exploration of the city, but they didn't have any pastries, any chicory coffee or any iced coffee.. which were the very items we wanted. We settled on a latte, mocha and to split an order of French toast. The toast came out first.. we had to eventually ask for our drinks. The waitress did apologize for forgetting them and then comped them, but still all in all a very odd experience.

Celeste B.

Visited this breakfast spot while in NOLA for the Essence Festival and like everywhere else they had long lines. the restaurant is very small for the lines of people that it draws which makes for a very TIGHT seating arrangement. For breakfast I ordered the big easy because it gave more of a variety for a first timer (Pancakes, sausage, bacon, hash brown or grits, 2 eggs and toast). The pancakes come with powdered sugar dusting which I didnt care for and was not easy to get them to leave off I guess because it was a habit for them to dust every plate! The food itself was very good as well as the portion sizing. During our visit it was difficult for us to get seating together (but we were a large group), silverware and drinks because thay ran out of alot of things due to the big crowd. My experienece Im sure wouldve been better outside of the touristy time of year the essence festival occurs. Hopefully, they are more prepared for crowds like this in the future.

Sara M.

Absolutely delicious breakfast. All four of us agreed the pancakes, moist, with a strong vanilla flavor, were amongst the best we had ever had, perhaps the best. The hash browns were also cooked perfectly, crunchy on the outside, soft on the inside. My eggs florentine had nicely sauteed fresh spinach and poached eggs atop a soft biscuit with just the right amount of hollandaise sauce. The only questionable items were the larger slabs of under-cooked onion. I pushed them aside. Service was excellent, attentive and personable.

Wes D.

Open air to the street is nice. Tables are WAY too small and cramped together. Service was especially slow with half the place empty. Bacon blood mary had a funny taste to it, I probably got a bad batch. Food was decidedly mediocre. Nothing I can really recommend about coming here.

Irene Z.

They had a sign out on their street menu board one morning that said, "Shrimp n Grits" and it was on my mind the entire time I was in NOLA. Finally had a chance to stop in my last morning in town. What a way to start my last day! I got there right when they opened, so no wait for a table or placing my order. Mine was simple - shrimp n grits and a black coffee. Staff were terrific, completely helpful and hospitable. Smaller restaurant but still plenty of seating, and it's wonderfully cozy. Grits were perfectly buttery and consistency was just right. The shrimp were large portions. About 6 of them and a nice mild, almost spicy, flavor to them. I devoured my bowl and debated having more and didn't, but wished I had. I will remember this place the next time I'm in town!

Michael S.

Really disappointed with this place. Breakfast came cold, they were out of the seafood plate that I wanted and the waiter SUCKED!!!! Oh and I forgot to mention how BAD the coffee tasted. On a positive note, my buddy got the bacon Bloody Mary and he liked it.

Ashkan R.

This place could easily be passed and looked over but it is a hidden pleasure amongst all the well known great places to brunch or have breakfast. It was purely on the biscuits that I chose the place because I woke up craving them and thank goodness I wanted biscuits, because their eggs Benedict with you already know biscuits was so good.

I came here for brunch after a night of...well you know what happens on Bourbon. You order at the front and take a number and they bring you your food. I ordered two eggs, sausage, and grits. I also got a bloody mary, which was pretty good. I remember the last time I was there, I felt it was made better with more garnishes and in a real glass. The food was average. Good, but nothing too special. Make your way to Camellia's Grill for cheaper and better food.

Steve I.

I am a regular here as it is one of my favorite quick breakfast places in the area. It is almost always busy here and you order at the counter (like Mother's). The service here is very good and quick. If you like omelets they have big omelets that are quite delicious. I have tried every omelet here except the three cheese omelet and enjoy them all esp. the western omelet (ham, sausage, bacon, and the usual other stuff), the cajun country (ham, sausage, hash browns, and stuff), and the fleur de lis omelet (crawfish, pepper jack cheese, and crawfish sauce). You have to order the hash browns every time too!! Awesome hash browns! They also serve lots of other breakfast items like waffles, pancakes, and breakfast plates. Sandwiches, salads, and burgers for lunch. I really like their Cobb Salad which comes with avocados, eggs, bacon, ham, tomatoes, and bleu cheese. Located across the street from the W hotel (which I love!). Great French Quarter breakfast spot. Lunch items are decent but their breakfast is the show-stopper.
(4)
Nick D.

I got a quality omelet here. The place was packed, which is usually a good sign and the food did not disappoint. The veggies in my egg were cooked perfectly, not too crunchy, but not mushy. The side of potatoes were average, but I've had awful potato sides before so I'll take average. I kind of think I should have gone with the grits, but oh well. I did have a biscuit which was darn good. Coffee was good too. They come right out with it in a to-go cup for you, which is convenient, although that means no topping you off. Still, this was a pretty good spot for breakfast after a long night out.

Jennifer P.

This was the only breakfast place that didn't have a massive line outside the door. The man at the door was great. He was working really hard to bus tables and get people in so people didn't have to wait out in the sun. We waited about 10 mins for a table. The place is small and was packed full of people. I got the chocolate iced coffee and found a tiny roach in my drink!! Gross, the server got me a new drink but I should have gotten it for free. The food is decent but my server wasn't really good. She never brought me extra napkins or the sugar I asked for. The only person that was really helpful was the gentleman that was seating people. He even refilled our water glasses while busing tables and seating people. I ended up given him a bigger tip then my server.

Gayle R.

This is a great spot. We split an asparagus and cheese omelet. Everything was fresh and tasty. The biscuits were excellent. This place is one street behind the fire dept. which is across the street from the Bienville House...eat at Fleur....instead of cereal at hotel. much better.....oh...and the servers are great...kind of a hole in the wall type of place...a hidden treasure ...... locals ..... and take outs..... love it

Alia G.

A neighborhood gem... in the Quarter. So... the qwerk about this place is that you stand in line and order BEFORE taking a table. By the time you've ordered, there's an open table. Love the lady who runs the place / takes the orders... she's a no-nonsense gal... quick and efficient. Great Bloody Marys! Order it... Sip... and Enjoy. :) They do a nice breakfast and the ambiance is fun. Some of their dishes are quite large... but the egg breakfast I get is the perfect size. And the toast is perfectly done. Plus, you can order breakfast sandwiches To Go if you don't want to eat in.

Amanda C.

For about 2 years this was my go-to breakfast place. When you go in, you've gotta grab an open table when you see it then send someone else to order. This isn't a place that does seating - you've gotta fight for those tables! After you order, the cashier gives you a number then you collect your silverware and butter and jellies and wait for the food. I'd always order a two-cheese omelette with whole wheat toast, hash browns, and a side of grits. I do NOT recommend following this diet for more than 3 days, but hell - for about $7 for all that food, you just can't help it!

Sort of disappointed with our meals. We had decent eggs Benedict but the meat and biscuit were both almost cold. The hollandaise was nothing great either. Good service and cute place but there are so many other good places to go that you just don't need to go here.

All in all it was nothing special. The latte was the best part. I had the farmers market omelet and it was ok...the veggies were very fresh which was good. The service was ok. It was a pretty average experience.

The overall rating of 3.5 doesn't do this place justice. The food was seasoned exceptionally well and the service was excellent. If you're looking for a laid back brunch spot, I definitely recommend Cafe Fleur De Lis.

Went here a couple times and each time was good. Big menu to choose from. There's a lunch side and breakfast side. Served all day long. Haven't had issues with grabbing a table even when it got a little busy. Got the Fleur de lis Club, a turkey, ham, cheese melt with bacon. Was buttery good, only issue that i had was that the meat was a bit skimpy, wish it had a few more slices of ham and turkey. but it was still oozy good and the bacon.. mmmm bacon. Second time, I got the Cajun burger, comes with two thin spicy patties, lettuce, tomato, and onion on the side. Had good flavor, no major complaints, wasn't too spicy for me. Hash browns were good to, love the crispy parts. an instant fav. My friends ordered from the breakfast menu and they liked what they ordered. Custom omelettes and big fluffy pancakes are tasty.
(3)
Leyandra M.

Let me start by saying the Hash browns in the place is the BEST I've ever had. Hands down! We would've missed this place, if Earl from the Marriott hadn't mentioned it. And thank God he did. It's a small cafe, and its always packed, and some how there's always a table available. You have to order first before you sit. By the time you finish ordering, there's a table waiting for you and your party. The staff is tremendously friendly and efficient. The kitchen is super fast. And the food is good. We only went for breakfast, and I have to say the best thing on their breakfast menu is the hash browns. It was a group of 5 ppl, and we had a range from omelets, to pancakes and waffles to pastries, and breakfast sandwiches. Pancakes and waffles=3.5 Bacon, Egg, and cheese sandwich on a biscuit = 4 Hash Browns = 5 Chocolate Croissant= 5 Greek Omelet = 5 Ham and Cheese Omelet = 3.5(ham was salty)

Not the best breakfast I had but not the worst by far either. Very generous portions make up for a lack of outstanding quality. This is a great place to come post hangover in need of some greasy fuel. It is very very crowded though so make sure you grab an open table as soon as you see it. It can also be a bit slow on the service side so don't come here in any rush. Good menu, ok food, very crowded, but still enjoyable.

Great little cafe to grab an inexpensive breakfast. Basic breakfast diner fare. Jesse and all other servers were so friendly and gave great suggestions of local things to check out for tourists in need of direction. We actually went multiple times during our stay in Nola, so convenient, fast, and inexpensive.

Great food! Line moves quickly. Have a someone in your group grab a table while others order. Otherwise, you may have trouble finding an open one. We went here twice during our NOLA stay. First time I had the omlette and the second time I had pancakes. Both were amazing. The hash browns were really great. A woman who worked there (could have been the owner?) told us they used garlic powder and oregano in the hash browns to give them a great flavor (along with other, secret spices). Pancakes were fluffy and surprisingly not overfilling. This was a bit more expensive than I would have liked ($20-30 for two) but I didn't leave feeling ripped off! Definitely recommend for those staying in the French Quarter!

Great breakfast! Reasonable priced. Latte was delish. French toast on brioche was superb. Great benedicts. Homemade biscuits served with almost everything. Typical slow southern service. We had a group of 6, spent $85.

This place was getting busy when I rolled in there on Saturday morning around 10am, but I decided to wait in the line to see if a table became available. Of course, one did and I enjoyed a very nice and almost reasonably priced meal. Expect to pay about $15 per person for breakfast unless you are a bulk-loader.

This was perfect hangover brunch. You stand in line and order immediately, then sit down and wait for your food. Even with it packed on Saturday, my group of eight all were served within about fifteen minutes. The food was greasy and tasty as hell. The Cajun omelet was completely worth the daylong heartburn. Home fries, coffee, and everything else that tends to be throwaways at brunch were good. This is not a relaxed, three-hour brunch, but if you need grease and coffee and love New Orleans style food, this is your place. Only complaint: it's a bit on the pricy side, especially given that you stand in line to give your order. I can definitely get an omelet and coffee for less than 16 bucks in Boston.

A spontaneous breakfast choice, guided by Yelp and my desire to try something new. More of a cafeteria setup: order at the counter, get your own drink, and then find a table. Counter help was efficient, but not overly friendly. Food was decent, and prices were so-so. The hash browns were terrible, despite the rave reviews they seem to have received from other Yelpers. I found them to be too salty to eat, as did my boyfriend, who is not that picky. Overall, a decent meal in a cute place.

This was a little place we stumbled upon for breakfast. We sat right down, got served right away, and enjoyed a great meal. I had the french toast which was AMAZING. I think I would've had that for breakfast every day I was here! I liked this no-fuss place, the staff was friendly, and the food was good!

Slow service but really good food, otherwise I would have given Fleur-De-Lis a full 5 stars. During my April 2010 trip to New Orleans, my husband and I ate here three times, choosing it over the other breakfast serving establishments in the French Quarter, each day we visited. Why? Well, the answer to that is simple. Their food is made fresh to order, the portions are huge (we always shared - because really, portions are made for two), and it was only a couple of blocks away from our hotel. Enough said. One of my favorite items on their menu was their croissant sandwich, stacked with egg, your choice of meat, and cheese. I kid you not when I say, they were literally the best croissants I've ever had. HUGE, tender, flaky, and perfect in texture ... these ain't the Burger King king's croissants, baby! Oh no! Honestly, I could eat them every day if it wasn't for the whole, not wanting to weigh 500 pounds thing. Another of my favorites at Fleur-De-Lis Cafe was their buttermilk pancakes. I had them twice, plain with just butter and syrup (the way I happen to like pancakes), but the toppings I saw at the tables around me (strawberries, blueberries, etc.) looked yummy, too. If you're a topping fan, I'd say the toppings are a go. But toppings or not, the pancakes are a winner! In an order you get three, plate-sized cakes, with perfectly crisp edges, and soft, steamy middles. Heavenly, albeit filling! Again, one order for two people will suffice. Trust me on that. Fantastic food aside, one thing I didn't like at Fleur-De-Lis was the speed at which they complete orders. They are very slow. Each day we had to wait about a half hour for our food. I was on vacation, so I was willing to let it slide. Still, not fun, and trying to get a table was worse, still. The place is tiny and has about 15 or so tables. They're always full, so when someone stands up to leave, those in the never-ending line at the counter make a mad dash for it. Not my idea of a good time. One day we got our order to go and ate it while sitting on the steps of one of the public buildings down the street. Not a bad idea. Despite the table game, and the lack of serving speed, I'd definitely recommend Fleur-De-Lis for breakfast if you're in New Orleans - that is, if you love homemade type, big breakfasts, that leave you full for hours. Enjoy!

I found this place via Yelp as my fiance and I were looking for somewhere to grab a great breakfast before we got on the road to ATL. It was EXACTLY what we were looking for. We really enjoyed our breakfast here. Everything was cooked and seasoned well. The pancakes were phenomenal. Service was great too. I will definitely eat here again when I'm in town next.

I have been dreaming about the pancakes her since my first trip to NOLA in 2008. My GF and I always wax poetic about the best pancakes of our lives. We always wondered is it the water, do they put magic dust in it....... WHAT is the deal we those pancakes. This time around after getting off a redeye from Seattle and dropping my bags, I told my travel partner that we had to have these pancakes ASAP. We got there and shared a Eggs Bene and a short stack and they were just amazing as the first time. I was a lil worried my travel partner thought I was going a lil overboard but after her first bite she was very surprised as well. I mean they are just pancakes, but we tried to figure out what makes these so special. Do they use a lil cake batter, or vanilla, or WHAT, it's got to be magic dust I tell you. You must have the PANCAKES!!!! Service is great, prices I swear have not changed since I was here in 2008 and they have had some upgrades to the service. Before you ordered at counter then found a table and now you get full service. They also only had syrup packets back then too, and I still love the pancakes. All in all on this trip I ate here 3 times for breakfast and would have gone everyday!!! Great Bloody Mary's too!!!!

Kate H.

GREAT PANCAKES! It would be 5 stars if I rated solely on pancakes. My sons french toast was soggy but he didn't seem to mind. Not the most kid friendly (no kid menu) so I had to get my 4 year old an adult sized meal. And even though we were only one of 3 tables there, early in the morning, I felt hurried (my kids were behaving nicely and no, we didn't make or leave a big mess). The waiter actually started to take my sons plate away while he still had half the food on it, was chewing, and had his fork in his hand. But give it a try (really those pancakes).

I came here for brunch after a night of...well you know what happens on Bourbon. You order at the front and take a number and they bring you your food. I ordered two eggs, sausage, and grits. I also got a bloody mary, which was pretty good. I remember the last time I was there, I felt it was made better with more garnishes and in a real glass. The food was average. Good, but nothing too special. Make your way to Camellia's Grill for cheaper and better food.

I am a regular here as it is one of my favorite quick breakfast places in the area. It is almost always busy here and you order at the counter (like Mother's). The service here is very good and quick. If you like omelets they have big omelets that are quite delicious. I have tried every omelet here except the three cheese omelet and enjoy them all esp. the western omelet (ham, sausage, bacon, and the usual other stuff), the cajun country (ham, sausage, hash browns, and stuff), and the fleur de lis omelet (crawfish, pepper jack cheese, and crawfish sauce). You have to order the hash browns every time too!! Awesome hash browns! They also serve lots of other breakfast items like waffles, pancakes, and breakfast plates. Sandwiches, salads, and burgers for lunch. I really like their Cobb Salad which comes with avocados, eggs, bacon, ham, tomatoes, and bleu cheese. Located across the street from the W hotel (which I love!). Great French Quarter breakfast spot. Lunch items are decent but their breakfast is the show-stopper.

Nick D.

I got a quality omelet here. The place was packed, which is usually a good sign and the food did not disappoint. The veggies in my egg were cooked perfectly, not too crunchy, but not mushy. The side of potatoes were average, but I've had awful potato sides before so I'll take average. I kind of think I should have gone with the grits, but oh well. I did have a biscuit which was darn good. Coffee was good too. They come right out with it in a to-go cup for you, which is convenient, although that means no topping you off. Still, this was a pretty good spot for breakfast after a long night out.

Jennifer P.

This was the only breakfast place that didn't have a massive line outside the door. The man at the door was great. He was working really hard to bus tables and get people in so people didn't have to wait out in the sun. We waited about 10 mins for a table. The place is small and was packed full of people. I got the chocolate iced coffee and found a tiny roach in my drink!! Gross, the server got me a new drink but I should have gotten it for free. The food is decent but my server wasn't really good. She never brought me extra napkins or the sugar I asked for. The only person that was really helpful was the gentleman that was seating people. He even refilled our water glasses while busing tables and seating people. I ended up given him a bigger tip then my server.

Gayle R.

This is a great spot. We split an asparagus and cheese omelet. Everything was fresh and tasty. The biscuits were excellent. This place is one street behind the fire dept. which is across the street from the Bienville House...eat at Fleur....instead of cereal at hotel. much better.....oh...and the servers are great...kind of a hole in the wall type of place...a hidden treasure ...... locals ..... and take outs..... love it

Alia G.

A neighborhood gem... in the Quarter. So... the qwerk about this place is that you stand in line and order BEFORE taking a table. By the time you've ordered, there's an open table. Love the lady who runs the place / takes the orders... she's a no-nonsense gal... quick and efficient. Great Bloody Marys! Order it... Sip... and Enjoy. :) They do a nice breakfast and the ambiance is fun. Some of their dishes are quite large... but the egg breakfast I get is the perfect size. And the toast is perfectly done. Plus, you can order breakfast sandwiches To Go if you don't want to eat in.

Amanda C.

For about 2 years this was my go-to breakfast place. When you go in, you've gotta grab an open table when you see it then send someone else to order. This isn't a place that does seating - you've gotta fight for those tables! After you order, the cashier gives you a number then you collect your silverware and butter and jellies and wait for the food. I'd always order a two-cheese omelette with whole wheat toast, hash browns, and a side of grits. I do NOT recommend following this diet for more than 3 days, but hell - for about $7 for all that food, you just can't help it!

Felicia F.

Sort of disappointed with our meals. We had decent eggs Benedict but the meat and biscuit were both almost cold. The hollandaise was nothing great either. Good service and cute place but there are so many other good places to go that you just don't need to go here.

All in all it was nothing special. The latte was the best part. I had the farmers market omelet and it was ok...the veggies were very fresh which was good. The service was ok. It was a pretty average experience.

The overall rating of 3.5 doesn't do this place justice. The food was seasoned exceptionally well and the service was excellent. If you're looking for a laid back brunch spot, I definitely recommend Cafe Fleur De Lis.

Went here a couple times and each time was good. Big menu to choose from. There's a lunch side and breakfast side. Served all day long. Haven't had issues with grabbing a table even when it got a little busy. Got the Fleur de lis Club, a turkey, ham, cheese melt with bacon. Was buttery good, only issue that i had was that the meat was a bit skimpy, wish it had a few more slices of ham and turkey. but it was still oozy good and the bacon.. mmmm bacon. Second time, I got the Cajun burger, comes with two thin spicy patties, lettuce, tomato, and onion on the side. Had good flavor, no major complaints, wasn't too spicy for me. Hash browns were good to, love the crispy parts. an instant fav. My friends ordered from the breakfast menu and they liked what they ordered. Custom omelettes and big fluffy pancakes are tasty.

Leyandra M.

Let me start by saying the Hash browns in the place is the BEST I've ever had. Hands down! We would've missed this place, if Earl from the Marriott hadn't mentioned it. And thank God he did. It's a small cafe, and its always packed, and some how there's always a table available. You have to order first before you sit. By the time you finish ordering, there's a table waiting for you and your party. The staff is tremendously friendly and efficient. The kitchen is super fast. And the food is good. We only went for breakfast, and I have to say the best thing on their breakfast menu is the hash browns. It was a group of 5 ppl, and we had a range from omelets, to pancakes and waffles to pastries, and breakfast sandwiches. Pancakes and waffles=3.5 Bacon, Egg, and cheese sandwich on a biscuit = 4 Hash Browns = 5 Chocolate Croissant= 5 Greek Omelet = 5 Ham and Cheese Omelet = 3.5(ham was salty)

I came here for breakfast and ordered the fat kid meal of pancakes, eggs, bacon and hash browns. Probably the best pancakes (blueberry) and hash browns I've ever had. The wait wasn't too long and the service was friendly. I think it's one of the better bargains in the quarter.

The highs - prompt service, food delivered fast and hot. GREAT pancakes and large portions. Solid blue-plate breakfast. The lows - the coffee. Drip generic blah. Nothing fancy - the bacon was limp, thin and generic. Food was probably Sysco, straight out of the truck (except for the pancakes). However, for the portions, the price was right and nothing was below-par by any stretch of the imagination (except for the coffee). Recommended - go for the pancakes, the bloody marys and bring your cafe-au-lait with you.

We visited this restaurant on my birthday weekend due to the reviews we saw on Yelp.... THANK YOU YELP! We really enjoyed it so much , we will go here every morning were here visiting New Orleans. I had an omelet , grits, hash browns, and a biscuit. these grits were the best ever ! We are going again tomorrow. morning.... ohhh and our bill was only 20 bucks for the both of us including drinks... The atmosphere and customer service was great also!

James A.

Absolutely fantastic. We had breakfast, with excellent eggs benedict, omlettes, hash browns, coffee, etc. Everything was great. The food was good, but the service was like nothing I've ever seen. Besides being attentive during the meal, they really bailed me out when I left a shoulder bag there containing an iPad and three checkbooks. We changed tables without moving the bag, and didn't realize it until they had closed and we were on the way to the airport. I called the next day and asked what to do. They had found it, saved it, and volunteered to take it to the hotel where we had stayed. I called the hotel and asked them to send it to me, which they did, no worse for the wear. I found nothing wrong, and much that was far above and beyond the call. I'll certainly be back whenever I'm in New Orleans.

On a recent trip to the French Quarter for a friends wedding my boyfriend and I stopped in here for a quick breakfast before skipping town. We had picked this place after reading all the reviews about their hash browns and pancakes. Since I am gluten free the pancake were out and the hash browns were in. We LOVE hash browns and living in Miami we don't get them too often because Miami seems to favor home fries (don't know why...). Anywho, They did not live up to the reviews. Not even close. Ours came in pools of butter, which don't get me wrong can be a very good thing but it wasn't working for there hash browns. I ordered a 2 egg breakfast with bacon and hash browns and my eggs came in a similar pool. If I had been hungover or still drunk from the night before I probably would have been in heaven but for a sober meal I would skip this place. Oh! The coffee....AWFUL. Couldn't drink it. Threw out both of them after the first sip.

The website said "open 7am to 3pm everyday" so silly me, I believed it. On Sunday morning my mom and I decided to get an early start to the day and left our hotel at 7:00am. Our walk through the French Quarters consisted of: 1) watching the vomit from the night before being cleaned off the street with high powered hoses 2) having my behind grabbed rather forcefully by a very drunk man outside of a bar who proclaimed "juicy." After this, I wasn't really ready to stomach much of anything when I arrived at Cafe Fleur De Lis. Then I realized it didn't open till 8am on Sundays...Luckily the wonderful lady behind the counter let us in early after seeing how pathetic we looked staring in the window. She told us that if we weren't in a rush, we could wait. So we did. By 8am the place was crowded and we were enjoying some coffee and some amazing pancakes. We also split what had to be the unhealthiest (but quite delicious) breakfast ever. It consisted of a large plate of hash browns covered in bacon, sausage, sausage gravy and cheese. I figured if I could stomach that I could brave the walk back down Bourbon Street. Cafe Fleur De Lis is definitely a great breakfast spot, whether you are hung over or not. And if you are extra lucky, you might get some unsolicited action on the way there.

Came to Cafe Fleur De Lis after a night on Bourbon street. So I needed something easy on my stomach. We stood in line to order while my group watched all the tables disappear. But luckily there was one left when we were done ordering. I ordered the omlete with feta and spinach with hashbrowns. My friends ordered the egg sandwich with grits and the oatmeal. My omlete was delicious and the hashbrowns were awesome. I thought the hasbrowns would be all greasy but they were not and had wonderful seasoning on them. The omlete was a little greasy so I was only able to finish half of it, but I would order it again for sure. My friends really enjoyed their egg sandwiches and the grits. My friends that ordered the oatmeal enjoyed it but were hungry when they finished even though it was a huge bowl of oatmeal with bananas. Cute little place for breakfast. Would recommend to people living in NOLA and visiting. Was a quick walk from our hotel in the French Quarter.

Final breakfast of a weeklong trip. The hash browns were well seasoned, hot, and at the appropriate level of greasy that I want from diner hash browns. I ordered bacon and got sausage, the husband ordered an omelet with peppers and salsa and the salsa got left out and brought separately a few minutes later. The croissant was forgotten and brought late, too, but who cares. It was tasty, inexpensive, and fast, and that was what we were going for.

Andrew R.

Good place to grab an inexpensive bite to eat in the French quarter. My latte was really good, and I ordered the seafood Benedict, which was ok. The seafood cakes were a little too fishy, and the dish was sloppily plated. The restaurant interior could also use some updating. Overall a decent place to grab a quick inexpensive bite to eat in the quarter.

During the research for this trip, I used many sources, including TripAdvisor to scope out the spots to eat. As I started looking for spots to have a good breakfast, one popped up right across the street from our hotel, which was Cafe Fleur-de-Lis. Several "foodies" recommended the omelets at the Cafe, so I thought I would test their credentials. Sure enough these anonymous posters were correct, the omelet was delicious and a very healthy portion size. I chose the most local option, which was the Omelet Fleur-de-Lis, which had crawfish, pepper jack cheese, bell peppers, onions, and covered in a crawfish sauce. The flavor was tremendous, and I did not need to add any hot sauce, which is a crowning achievement for an omelet in my opinion. I also had a choc au lait (hot chocolate), which was not as chocolately as I would like, but nice and warm on this cold day! Sarah went with the croissant sandwich containing egg, ham, and cheese. Its portion was also sizeable and definitely filled her up. We ended up skipping lunch because of the large portion size, but that may be a good thing! Next time, I may have to come back and eat lunch, as their burger selection looked fun!

This place was really a New Orleans Style type breakfast. I grabbed the Buttermilk pancakes and the Spicy Cajun Omelet. They both were good. But the pancakes were way better!! I gave the place a 4 although, because the restaurant isn't as clean as it could have been and the kitchen area smells like eggs, and we all know what that smells like: but the place was good. Check it out

Great restaurant for a more traditional, bacon & egg/pancake type of breakfast. They do have some more healthy choices, which are also appreciated. A plus, you can get coffee & chicory here as well. Very friendly service, good prices and quality food. During the rush, it gets busy, but over all, a very good choice for breakfast. We ate here twice during our visit to NOLA, and both times were excellent.

Great little restaurant with some fantastic shrimp and grits. It was busy but we got there at just the right time and were seated before the big breakfast crowd hit. The service was good, even with the growing crowd. Can't wait to go back again. Get the shrimp and grits. Seriously.

You might have to wait a bit--the service can be slow--but hey, this is the Big Easy, not the Big Apple, so get a bottle of water, nurse your hangover, and relax while a hearty breakfast comes your way. The pancakes were delish and the eggs perfectly cooked. The bacon had a real smokey taste and the hashbrowns were yummy. Really, we practically licked our plates clean. Give it a shot!

I had trouble looking for breakfast joints in NOLA so I was happy to find this cafe. Long story short, a good place for breakfast, lunch, or an afternoon snack and coffee fix. Nothing special but also nothing bad about this place.

Great vegetarian panini. Our muffalata came w/o the slaw, which they fixed immediately. It was a good place to bring the family. My bloody mary was fair.

In town for a bachelorette party, we showed up around 11 am on Easter Sunday hoping to get a table for 7. We were greeted by a very friendly employee & waited outside for about 20 minutes to be seated. We were glad we did because we had an absolutely delicious brunch. I started off with a Mimosa & my friends had Bloody Marys which they raved about. I ordered The Big Easy Breakfast which was definitley big & did not disappoint- fluffy amazing pancakes, eggs cooked over easy, bacon, sausage, perfectly seasoned hash browns & toast all for $10.95. A few friends had Eggs Benedict which they reported was one of the best they've ever had. Another friend showed up towards the end of the meal and they had no problem adding an eighth seat to the table to accommodate her. She ordered The Healthy Breakfast with egg whites, turkey bacon, & fresh fruit which was right on point as well. In short the prices were reasonable, the service impressive, and the food hits the spot! I would definitely recommend this cafe to anyone!

I had the porkchop, 2 egg and toast breakfast with hashbrowns and it was one of the best breakfasts I have ever eaten in my life. The bloody mary was strong and spicy. Sadly the wait on the food was lengthy and my gut was empty except for the built up bile and acid from last nights foray into debauchery. The bloody mary came up while I was waiting for the food. Yuk. Fortunately the facilities were sparkling clean, spacious and had a wide flat screen tv with the game on to keep my thoughts off of my regurg. My food was on the table by the time I could make my way back. Man it was good. The porkchop was just a little on the dry side, but it had sat waiting for me, so I couldn't fault it. The flavor was spot on. So good. I get the feeling that some things on the menu are not as good as others, so you have to be discerning and lucky to catch a superlative but otherwise the remainder of the choices seemed quite solid. The place was packed with happy eaters.

Don't go there hungry, service is a little bit slow. But I will say, it was well worth the wait! The hash browns from this place are to die for. I was looking up "NOLA best kept secrets" and this place came up so my boyfriend and I wanted to give it a try. We ate breakfast there the first morning and ate there the next three mornings as well! I went during Jazz Fest so this can account for the slower service since it was busy, but I stayed into the week when there were not many tourists around and service was still a bit slow. Again...this DID NOT stop me from going there (obviously lol) I would highly recommend this to anyone in the area and cannot wait to go back when I visit New Orleans again.

I have been to eat breakfast here a few times, and they never disappoint. I went for my birthday on July 6, and I ate my weight in food. I had the Fleur-De-Lis omelet, and the buttermilk pancakes with banana and pecans on top. You get grits and toast as sides. I also had a mimosa, after all it is was my B'day! LOL! My ticket was $28.00. I'm sure I paid at least 10.00 for the mimosa, but I'm not sure because I didn't look at the ticket..sorry :-). I will say the food is not overpriced but I wouldn't call it cheap. If you want a mimosa it is not on the menu, just ask for it. This place is a dive so don't expect anything fancy. If you are in a group, have someone grab a table while you order a food, The service is good, but you may have to wait a few minutes if they are busy. I highly recommend this spot for breakfast. I haven't tried the other food on the menu yet, but when I do, you will be the first to know..

I love the atmosphere and the food is good. They used to have the most beautiful (and tasty) waffles, but it's not on the menu anymore. :'( I will eat here every time I'm in New Orleans. It's a family run business and the grandma runs a tight ship, and a very clean one too.

Went to NOLA on a long weekend for New Years. Eat here at least twice while in town. First things first: the Pasta Salad! So good. Ate it each time we went. Feel like i talk about it more then anything else from the trip. Had sammies every time. A turkey avocado melt(i think) and a great grilled cheese sandwich. The T-A sandwich was good but the pasta salad definitely out shined it so fell short in comparison. The grilled cheese was awesome, several different kinds of cheese, as well as tomatoes and bacon. The bread was still nice and toasty despite all the melted cheese piled on to sop help up the hurricanes dranken the night before. A friend got the Belgian waffle which i managed to break a bite off of and it was good and crispy with just the right amount of powdered sugar. The first come first serve table setting can get a little overwhelming since the place isn't that big inside, but still never really had a problem finding one in the end. Overall, a good place for a quick lunch and maybe a bloody mary while your at it. You are in New Orleans!

Kitchen is terribly disorganized. Never seen such confusion and chaos at a breakfast cafe. There were about 6-7 people in the tiny prep area at any given time, bumping in to each other and looking at each other with disgruntled looks. It took so long for people to get their food, that customers kept coming up to the cashier to ask. This only distracted the slow and confused cashier to delay taking peoples orders. Overall, it took 20 min to order and another 20 to get my waffle. I don't mind waiting for food when its actually good, but good food it was not. Also, grossly overpriced. $4.95 for a plain egg and cheese sandwich.
(1)
Jen B.

Mmmm.... HASHBROWNS... (what else can I say?) The food here was really good, it's a tasty breakfast / lunch place. I was impressed with this little cafe, had pancakes that were so buttery and light, but those hashbrowns are killer (garlicy or something). We also ordered a spinach omlette that was really good.
(4)
Davi H.

This place has absolutely delicious food! I tried the bacon/egg/cheese on a croissant w/ hash browns and the pancakes. Everything tasted amazing, especially the pancakes. For around $6 you get 3 HUGE pancakes that are perfectly golden brown and fluffy. The sandwich was also really good-fresh croissant and perfect amount of egg, cheese, and bacon. Loved the hash browns-they were spiced with cajun seasoning and so tasty. The staff was also very friendly, there just weren't enough of them to take orders, turn around tables, etc. Overall, it was a great place and will definitely come back next time I'm in NOLA!

If everything in life was served on a biscuit, we would be pretty large, but life would be so much better. OK. The coffee is decent. But if you are a vegetarian you take one look at the menu and you're like "oh snap! I can eat one thing on the menu". Well do not be deceived my fellow vegis. Ask for anything but minus the meat. They also do subs. Try the poached eggs on mushrooms instead of ham. Perfection. Hash browns are also pretty good. Food: What I had was amazing. My husband loved his blueberry pancakes. Service: Not really there- this is a do it yourself place- they do bring you the food though. Staff members are nice.

Art V.

Major disappointment. After reading positive reviews and seeing the line out the door, I assumed this would be a great breakfast choice. Wrong, wrong, wrong. I really don't get it. First, the default coffee is hazelnut flavored (fake, sweet taste). Coffee and water are served in styrofoam and plastic cups (tacky and wasteful). The Eggs Benedict I ordered consisted of cold ham, very watery eggs (undercooked), and a heavy biscuit. Mostly inedible. My friend had the pancakes with chocolate chips, which were just ok, nothing special. Overall, this place seems stuck in a time warp, with mediocre food, tacky touches ( foam cups), and lousy coffee. Don't be fooled by the lines!

this place is solid. the fleur de liis omelette makes my day. I can also get a mocha, and kick back. I recently took a friend here, and she thought it was slow, but hell..... she's not from the big easy... slow down is the key to enjoying life. huge portions, and brightly lit, fast paced, slow moving, but good solid breakfast.

Totally decent joint for a quick, fresh breakfast. My wife, the ultimate breakfast snob, declared that her omelette was "way better than Mother's.". Wasn't crazy about the blaring hip hop over the speakers but food was solid and they are open on Thanksgiving.

Marcus A.

A very average street cafe with food I wouldn't qualify much higher then decent. I had the "muffaletta" although really can you call it a muffaletta when it's not served on muffaletta bread? I would say no, but the owners of this establishment say yes. I got some sun chips on the side and a coke. An unspectacular and brief experience purely for the sake of quenching our hunger.

I have to say that I stumbled upon this place by mere accident last January, and have been back three times, most recently for the Saints NFL kickoff. Small gem in the French Quarter, it has a great menu written beautifully on a chalkboard above the order counter. My favorite is by far the Fleur de Lis omelette, topped with a delicious crawfish sauce, with a side of their awesome hash browns. It is small but hospitable, and the staff is very friendly. And the prices are very reasonable, and the food, again, is just "yummers."

Megan R.

My breakfast was okay and decently tasty hangover food (turkey and egg sandwich with creole seasoning), but it took nearly 35 min for my friend to get her bowl of gumbo....c'mon, the gumbo is already made, just put it in a bowl with some rice. Also it was pretty dirty inside and the staff was very rude for such a popular area/city/tourist attraction. Never again.

I found this little cafe while wandering around near my hotel. They had iced tea, espresso drinks, breakfast food, and sandwiches, all of which I tried while staying in NOLA. My first meal there was a grilled veggie sandwich on whole wheat to go. The place wasn't particularly crowded, but it took them almost 30 minutes to produce my sandwich. I was kind of shocked. And this was while I was hovering near the counter trying not to be a pain. The sandwich was soggy and flavorless. My second visit was better and bumped this place up to 3 stars- I got a three-cheese omelette with wheat toast and hash browns. Delicious! Omelette wasn't greasy and the hash browns were very tasty. Yum. Based on this limited sampling I'd say - order the breakfast food, no matter what time of day it is. I love finding a little cafe to get my cappucino fix, but there's better food and drink elsewhere in the city.

I had the seafood omlett and was skeptical that it would be worth 12 dollars. It was. The crawfish sauce is etouffe sauce and is heavenly with the omlett.
(5)
Jeff C.

Just an ok place, typical so-so food, nothing to write home about. I ordered omlette Fleur De Lis. Other than a handful of tiny crawfish tails, it is not that different from a regular cheese omlette for any diner in NJ. Same could be said of potato, and coffee. Not really worth the price tag. Service is slow, the waitress was busy chatting with another customer that I had to remind her that my food was ready and getting cold at the counter.

Sammy P.

Solid 2 . This is just a run of the mill diner here how evr u slice it. The service is mediocre and their mochas watered down. Got the fleur de lis omelet and it was blah.. Also got the blue berry waffles,$7 for one stanard size waffle btw, would only wow me if I got it from mcdonald. Bottom line is Without putting in consideration that they forgot to make our food for 30mins , no fork/ knife it's still just a 2. It'd be a 1 if I didn't have hopes that this place can do better

Austin V.

Fantastic breakfast spot. I went on two occasions and varying degrees of service both times, but both times, the food was excellent. The first time, the line was 10 deep, and growing mostly because the counter girl was slower than molasses to enter in a order. It might have been because she kept screwing it up: My rib eye steak and eggs some how turned into ham steak and eggs.... the hashbrowns are excellent here but when we went back on Sunday, they weren't serving hash browns, only grits.... I opted for biscuits and eggs which were fantastic as well... Great breakfast to grease you up after a night of drinking or you just want a well grilled meal. Best practice, walk in to the back counter, order your meal and then grab a seat - no wait staff. They offer up great bloody mary's for those in need a little hair of the dog. I say some of the talent that walked in and out of here were better than the bar scene and much funner to talk to. Unfortunately the busers take advantage of this also and the tables suffer with plenty of dirty dishes waiting to be taken care of... even when still when your food comes out... Go and enjoy.

This is the best place for breakfast in New Orleans! The only problem with this place is the wait. You wait in line to order your food and then find a seat. With 10-12 people in front of us...it was about 45 minutes to get to the front of the line. It works out though...because by the time you order..the people who were in the front of the line when you got there are getting up from their table! I got the Bacon, Egg and Cheese Croissant and it was amazing. I never order anything like that but I saw somebody else with it and I couldn't resist. The prices are decent and it's tucked away in a very convenient spot in the French Quarter. If you are in the area...this place is a MUST!

A friend and I found this little cafe on our way back to the hotel one afternoon and decided that we should keep it in mind to try out before we left. Turns out we went there the very next morning for a well needed hangover cure before a lengthy day of sight seeing and an even longer night of roaming around Bourbon Street. The menu is listed on huge black chalkboards above the counter where you order, although if you don't feel like craning your neck backwards and squinting from your spot in line, you can find a paper copy close to the entrance or left on tables. It's your typical cafe menu (bagels, omlettes, breakfast platters, etc.) with a slight french twist to some dishes (i.e. you can order a "fresh" croissant instead of toast). The prices aren't too bad either--about 6 or 7 bucks for a breakfast platter, 2 or 3 bucks for a special coffee. The line can get pretty long, but I don't see it as the kind of place with a line out the door as there are tons of other similar cafes splattered all over the French Quarter. You have to order at the counter, take your number card and try to find a place to sit. The turnover in this place is pretty quick, so it shouldn't be too hard to find a seat and you can always move tables if necessary. If you don't want to eat there, I think you can also get the food to go. Since the place is small, it's easy to feel very crowded in there when the line is long, so I recommend sitting by the door if you can snag a spot, makes it feel a little more open. I got a breakfast platter with eggs, hash browns, bacon and a croissant instead of toast. The eggs were fine (I don't like yolk, so I only order the whites and it's very hard to mess those up); the hash browns were great, shredded and greasy (maybe a little too greasy) with random bites of crispy potatoes mixed in; the croissant was ok...it was supposed to be warm and buttered but it was more like a crispy flaky mess with a spot of butter; sadly the bacon was greasy and limp instead of nice and crispy like I expected (I ate it anyway.....you can never turn down bacon!). My friends ordered similar platters which came out looking a lot like mine. Overall, the food was a little greasy for my taste, but it did the job.

Linnea B.

Out and about in the French Quarter looking for a likely breakfast spot? Fleur De Lis is a good choice for a casual breakfast. Nothing spectacular, but just what we wanted. You know how sometimes you want something really special and sometimes you want to just belly up to the counter and get some good plain food. We had the two egg breakfast with bacon - just fine - though I wondered if I should have tried the Hashbrown Heaven which sounded wonderfully decadent. Guess I better go back some time and try it!

Had the crawfish omlet, pretty tasty, didn't make my toes curl but it was decent. Was there at 9:30 on a Thursday and didn't have to wait for a table there were a few open. Did wait a bit for the food though. Overall not bad & would go back again

Chris L.

Good stuff. This is right across the street from the W in the French Quarter. There was a great selection of breakfast items. I went with a croissant with egg, cheese, and sausage. Breakfast was less than $10 and delicious. The dude that brought out the food thought that my coworker was my wife. As soon as I told him she was my coworker, he was all up in her grill. I laughed my ass off.

It was Christmas morning and we needed some breakfast. We didn't want to pay a huge amount for a hotel brunch because we were going to a Christmas dinner at 2 pm, I googled and found that this place was open and not too far from our hotel. It is a very casual place with only about 12 tables or so, you order at the counter and they deliver the food to your table. The service was fast, and my combo of eggs, bacon, pancakes, hash browns, toast and pancakes was massive for $10. The eggs were properly cooked and the bacon and sausage were good. I would have liked my hash browns crispier, but they had good flavor so it was okay. But the star of the show was the pancakes, they were light and fluffy, but had crisped a little on the griddle, they were so, so good! My dad loved his eggs benefit and my mom thought her eggs were good too. The only person who wasn't a fan was my sister, she didn't like that the omelet ingredients were just in the middle of the omelette instead of mixed in with the egg mixture, but I think that was just her being difficult! If it wasn't for her dislike of the place, I am sure we would have gone again another morning....next time we will just have to overrule her vote!

David S.

We were tired of our free hotel breakfasts, so we set forth into the French Quarter and let Yelp take us here. Monday at 8am must have been a quiet time, because there was no line, though people arrived steadily after we did. Food was OK, not outstanding (veggie omelets), a bit on the greasy side. Service was counter-surly. Coffee was only so-so, and, of course, no refills. I'd go back, but I'd try somewhere else before doing so.

Awesome. And very filling. Hash brown heaven is exactly as it sounds and is definitely reccomended.

Ben L.

I wouldn't rate this 5 stars, but a strong adequate. We had ham, cheese, and egg croissants. The cheese was viscous, American, combining artificiality with flavor. Sort of like ballpark cheese -- something is wrong but a part of you likes it anyway. Cafe au lait was good. The system seems to work -- by the time you order, stand around a bit, and your food comes out there is usually a table open. Except for when fuckfaces behind you in line split up so one orders and the other squats on a table. Then the delicate celestial balance is ruined. Oh, and it's cheapish. That counts for something.

We were in desperate need of a legitimate breakfast. Neither of us had slept, and we were hungry. We had tried Cafe du Monde, but they only serve donuts and it seemed like we might wait forever to get those donuts (ok... beignets). So we went in search of breakfast, and Wanda came to our rescue. She was standing in the street trying to beckon people into the restaurant for which she works, and she directed us to Fleur-de-Lis. I ordered the egg and cheese sandwich on a croissant, and it came with hash browns. It was ok. It definitely sufficed. My coworker ordered a BLT. It seemed to definitely do the trick for him. You order at a counter and then they bring you the food. They have your normal diner fair, and it seemed to be a fairly busy restaurant. It is only open until 3pm, so it is definitely focused on the hungover crowd. I would eat there again because it was the only legit breakfast place we saw, but if I found another, I would definitely try something else.

Possibly the best breakfast in the French Quarter. Big portions at a small price. Seems more like a locals spot. Try the hash brown meltdown. A layer of hash browns topped with cheese, bacon, poached eggs then country gravy poured all over it. I am craving it again already. They also had a crayfish quiche that looked pretty damn good.
(5)
Mark N.

In NO on business, and always try to eat where the locals do, or at least avoid the chains. This place came highly recommended. I was all set for a great breakfast, and was so disappointed. Took 30 minutes to get food, which was overcooked after sitting under heat lamps. Totally uninterested and full of attitude service. They were busy, so may have something to do with it, but I won't be back.

Neither the Cajun or seafood omelets were very good. The omelet I had at Muriel's was much better. Was told this place was amazing, but there are dozens of better places to eat in the area. Would not go back.

Noisy, crowded and not a lot of seating when it's busy, but a good stop for a late breakfast if you can't make it to the IHOP that isn't far away. Good food. Bad coffee. I only had their breakfast sandwiches and hash browns, but everything was tasy.

Beware the dirty door. If you are brave enough to walk past them, then you are at your own risk of discovering that Denny's is actually above average to this hole-in-the-wall that should have been shuttered for good after 2003. What is worst than bad coffee, bad service. I ordered a cinnamon roll which took 20 minutes to arrive at my table. It was heated, but I had to remind the server after my coffee was halfway gone (and cold, after waiting about 20 minutes from when it started out to be tepid to start with) to bring me my cinnamon roll. When he did, it was not the one with nuts on top, so I had to send it back. This time, I stood by the counter to make sure I did not wait another 20 minutes just to get a cinnamon roll. Mind you, this cinnamon roll was on a tray inside a pastry display counter. Halfway through eating my cinnamon roll, the produce delivery showed up. This had to be rolled from the front of the cafe' so the delivery guy had to tap me on the shoulder to ask for me to make way. At this point, we stood up and left. Four doors down, we passed a coffee shop that seemed empty. I was willing to bet that they would have better coffee and better danish. I am here now for the last hour enjoying a nice sun-drenched table front and center to the French Quarter in NOLA. Now, my vacation is about to start. Read further on for my review of La Boucherie

For me, at 8:45 on a Sunday morning, the wait wasn't bad- I was maybe behind 5 people. I got the Fleur de Lis Omlette and cafe au lait. The cafe au lait was alright. The omlette came with toast, and nice peppry hashbrowns. The omlette itself was covered in a tasty crawfish sauce, and inside were crawfish tails, green peppers, onions, melted cheese ... and wax paper.

As it was already past noon on a Tuesday and we wanted breakfast fast, this was the right call. It is order at the counter, pay, and they bring it out to your table. Good sized omelets, with tasty hash browns and toast. Nothing fancy, but fits the bill for a filling breakfast with no hassle.

Wayne N.

Great breakfast. We had about 4 different meals and they were all great. Not much in the way of fruit, yogurt, or granola. The coffee also was below average. If you are in the mood for eggs, bacon, sausage, hashbrowns, and pancakes this is the place. They can make a breakfast sandwich to go, on sourdough, muffin, or bagels. A great start to the day.

Crystle W.

Had the crawfish omelette with sauce, it was o.k., would probably get a different omelette next time. My friend got the blueberry pancakes with sausage link, really delicious, we each had coffee, bill was $26 Quaint little business, service was fast, no problem getting a table, but it was a Wednesday. Would definitely go back.

Ann S.

The portions were generous and delicous! The eggs were a perfect sunny side up and the hashbrowns wonderful. My husband had a ham and cheese omelet with tons of ham in it. The coffee was good and the rolls looked great, but no room to try them. We were checked on several times to see if everything was ok, which was much appreciated. We were about to turn around and leave the first time we ate here as the place was packed and it did not seem possible that we would ever get a table. We were so wrong!! They have an incredible system here that keeps things flowing and we never saw anyone get their food with out having a table to sit at. The staff is amazing. They efficiently keep an eye on the line, the tables and the supplies, clearing tables instantly and seating you as soon as you have ordered. You come in and stand in line to order. DO NOT try to grab a table right away. That is not allowed! :-) I was very skeptical that we would get a table, but Flo promised me we would have one and she was right both days we ate there. They do an incredible job of serving great food at reasonable prices!! Go, try it!!

Nancy C.

I hate being the first person to write a negative review, but our brunch experience here was not pleasant. My friend ordered the vegetarian omelette with egg whites, and they made it with whole eggs. This was after they completely forgot about her order in the first place and we had to remind them that she has yet to get her food. Being a carboholic, I ordered banana pancakes, wrongly assuming that mashed bananas would be mixed into the pancake mix. Instead, banana pancakes meant greasy plain pancakes with a few slices of brown-colored bananas. (Cue chorus: "Ew.") I do like the local feel to this place, though. Give it a try if you're looking for a heavy breakfast/brunch to cure that hangover and you don't mind clogging a few arteries.

Zoey C.

One of the better breakfast's I had in the french quarter. You order at the counter and then someone brings the food out to you. They offer decent pastries, omelets, pancakes, breakfast sandwiches, etc. I'm not sure that the stuff is homemade from scratch.. I noticed the homefries were just your basic frozen in a box shredded potatoes. The coffee here is drinkable, which seems to be a hard thing to find in New Orleans! Staff is friendly.

Nathan S.

A great local breakfast spot, with very limited seating. The pancakes, an omelets were extremely tasty! It kind of blends in with some of the French Quarter garishness, so don't miss it!

Matt S.

Great place to grab a breakfast. Big servings of what you need to cure a hangover. You order at the counter and they bring it to your table. This is probably a 3.5 star place, but since there are so many bad places in the quarter, I'm rounding up.
(4)
K. G.

I depend so heavily on Yelp reviews that I feel I need to return the favor when I haven't gotten the full, ahem, flavor of the place from others' descriptions. First, the food is DELICIOUS!! Second, the staff could not have been more attentive or tried harder. They truly demonstrated the word "hustle". So why the three stars? Because I'm a "complete experience" person and I couldn't get past the ambience of the brown laminate tables, disposable grocery store plastic plates, plastic servingware, and fetching your own condiments (although I did see a server bring some to a forgetful diner upon request). For the same price, I can get the same excellent dishes - no real creativity on this menu - at many other competitive locations with better ambience. But, I do want to keep stressing the food was so delicious that I ate past the point of discomfort, you could see the cooks moving quickly with purposefulness, the servers would check on tables as they were returning to the kitchen AND they had a floor manager moving about constantly to ensure all was as it should be. the place is tiny - maybe 16 tables? - so that last detail floored me. I've gotten around my ambience hangup by ordering food to go, so there! They're still getting my business AND I'm creating a free table in the process!

Busy as advertised. You order at the counter then sit down and they deliver the food to your table. Coffee freshly ground and very good. Ordered Western Omelet which came with one slice of toast and shredded hash browns. Omelet only so-so. Very greasy. It contained sausage, bacon, and ham inside that were charred to the point of losing their original flavors. Observed others with pancakes and waffles which seemed more desirable. Would go back again because the coffee was good and there is a lot of other menu choices. Staff was friendly. Total cost with $1 tip in the tip jar was $16.09.

Cool place but nothing that amazing. Long line and long wait for food. Pretty standard diner food/quality.

Good breakfast and staff... the hash browns are killer but the coffee is on the mediocre side.

Fleur De Lis serves straightforward breakfast fare and sandwiches for lunch. Its surely better than having a hotel restaurant buffet and very close to the hotels near Canal. As other reviewers mentioned, the varieties of waffles or pancakes (pecan, blueberry, banana, etc) are simply plain waffles/pancakes with mediocre topping tossed on. The blueberries, which I ordered, seemed to be out of a jar. The waffles were not crisp. After sitting and watching other patrons order - I would recommend their cinnamon rolls, greasier fare such as eggs and bacon, and hash browns. The line ebbed and flowed on a Saturday at 9am but there wasn't a problem getting a table. Service at the counter was brusque but polite and food came out relatively quick.

Best breakfast in the quarter hands down. The seafood omelet is outstanding and their pancakes are some of the best i've ever had. It's a little pricey for breakfast/brunch, but well worth it.

We ate only one breakfast on our trip to NOLA (usually opting for lunches instead) but this place was a winner. We ate there Easter Sunday, and it still wasn't a horrible wait. As previously mentioned, go there, get in line, don't commandeer a table until you have an order number. Order at the bar, take a number, food will be delivered in an amazingly timely manner. Don't worry, you'll get a table. Everyone moves along, eats, and leaves. The kitchen operates at warp-speed. Great coffee. Spouse had the NOLA special and I had eggs benedict (which comes with a side of hash browns). For $27.22, we had enough nourishment to see us through to dinner. Food was just right for what it is and beats the heck out of the pricey brunches and hotel breakfasts in the French Quarter. NOTE: on some webpages this place is given under an address on St. Charles. Wrong. It is in the middle of the Quarter on Chartres St.

For a "hole in a wall" type of place it was just ok both the food and service wise. Prices are not as cheap as they claim to be and cleanliness not that great either. Although we have had worst we also had better breakfast at other places. I realize it "Big Easy" so not complaining of speed of service. If you are going for a breakfast be prepared to wait for the table because the place it fairly small, I'd say maybe total of 10 tables. Oh yea, and push the door instead of pulling on it - it helps :)

Where to go for breakfast in New Orleans? Quick click on Google for "the best breakfasts in the French Quarter." Up comes Fleur de Lis as one of the choices and as a French professor, how could I resist that name. So off I went. I found a small narrow cafÃ© on bustling Chartes Street and a friendly greeting from the hostess/waitress. It's been over a week and I am still talking about the shrimp and grits that I ordered. It was by far the best thing I ate in New Orleans and if my mother hadn't taught be better, I swear to you that I would have licked the bowl clean--it was that good! The grits were creamy, the shrimp fresh and perfectly done and the gravy to die for. Perhaps that's because the gravy was made with a base of butter and heavy cream. Not great for a Weight Watcher but worth every single Weight Watcher point that I used that day. First place I'll go back to next time in New Orleans. And the cafÃ© au lait took me back to France....

Visited this breakfast spot while in NOLA for the Essence Festival and like everywhere else they had long lines. the restaurant is very small for the lines of people that it draws which makes for a very TIGHT seating arrangement. For breakfast I ordered the big easy because it gave more of a variety for a first timer (Pancakes, sausage, bacon, hash brown or grits, 2 eggs and toast). The pancakes come with powdered sugar dusting which I didnt care for and was not easy to get them to leave off I guess because it was a habit for them to dust every plate! The food itself was very good as well as the portion sizing. During our visit it was difficult for us to get seating together (but we were a large group), silverware and drinks because thay ran out of alot of things due to the big crowd. My experienece Im sure wouldve been better outside of the touristy time of year the essence festival occurs. Hopefully, they are more prepared for crowds like this in the future.

Sara M.

Absolutely delicious breakfast. All four of us agreed the pancakes, moist, with a strong vanilla flavor, were amongst the best we had ever had, perhaps the best. The hash browns were also cooked perfectly, crunchy on the outside, soft on the inside. My eggs florentine had nicely sauteed fresh spinach and poached eggs atop a soft biscuit with just the right amount of hollandaise sauce. The only questionable items were the larger slabs of under-cooked onion. I pushed them aside. Service was excellent, attentive and personable.

Wes D.

Open air to the street is nice. Tables are WAY too small and cramped together. Service was especially slow with half the place empty. Bacon blood mary had a funny taste to it, I probably got a bad batch. Food was decidedly mediocre. Nothing I can really recommend about coming here.

Irene Z.

They had a sign out on their street menu board one morning that said, "Shrimp n Grits" and it was on my mind the entire time I was in NOLA. Finally had a chance to stop in my last morning in town. What a way to start my last day! I got there right when they opened, so no wait for a table or placing my order. Mine was simple - shrimp n grits and a black coffee. Staff were terrific, completely helpful and hospitable. Smaller restaurant but still plenty of seating, and it's wonderfully cozy. Grits were perfectly buttery and consistency was just right. The shrimp were large portions. About 6 of them and a nice mild, almost spicy, flavor to them. I devoured my bowl and debated having more and didn't, but wished I had. I will remember this place the next time I'm in town!

Really disappointed with this place. Breakfast came cold, they were out of the seafood plate that I wanted and the waiter SUCKED!!!! Oh and I forgot to mention how BAD the coffee tasted. On a positive note, my buddy got the bacon Bloody Mary and he liked it.

Ashkan R.

This place could easily be passed and looked over but it is a hidden pleasure amongst all the well known great places to brunch or have breakfast. It was purely on the biscuits that I chose the place because I woke up craving them and thank goodness I wanted biscuits, because their eggs Benedict with you already know biscuits was so good.

Christina B.

We came upon this place by accident and stumbled in ad an attempt to get out of the pouring rain. My husband had an omelette and hash browns and I had the gumbo. Disappointing on both accounts. The hash towns were not as crispy as promised and the gumbo had a skin on the surface and undercooked rice. Flavored were decent, but I was definitely underwhelmed.

Cafe Fleur De Lis you cured my hangover, good job. Think of a diner that serves crawfish in its omelets. I had a bacon / egg / cheese sandwich on wheat toast with a side of hash browns. It was solid enough for what I paid ($6.50). They forgot my order so I had to grab the manager and ask for it again, no big deal, I could tell they made it fresh on the spot. Friendly staff, willing to help. This was surprising given the huge Mardi Gras crowd that quickly gathered past 11am. I would definitely come here for cheap, post boozing, diner food.

We tried Cafe Fleur De Lis on our recent trip to New Orleans. Using the factors of atmosphere, taste, and pricing I was quite underwhelmed by this restaurant. I ordered the Cobb salad for lunch. It was $13. Not a crazy price, but high for a salad. The base of the salad was your basic bag lettuce you could pick up at any grocery store. I literally felt like they had cut open a plastic bag of lettuce, and dropped it into my bowl. Then they topped it with standard items. There was absolutely nothing special about it. I always want to have something at a restaurant that I can't easily make on my own at home. There was not one thing about the preparation of this meal that made it unique in any way.

Very busy on a Sunday morning, pre-Saints game. Note: do not take a table if you haven't ordered and rec'd the red number. Even if your friend is in line ordering, they will ask you to order before sitting. I had the waffle which took a while to cook. They said the first one didn't come out right so they were re-making it. When it did arrive, it was cooked perfectly so no harm, no foul. Unfortunately I did not get to try the hash browns, but I think my waist line is thanking me. If you're a part of a group of +2 or are hungry walking in, I'm not sure this place will satisfy you.

There was only 6 people or so in front of us and it took nearly an hour to place our order and get our food. I ordered the fleur de lis omelet. It came with hash browns and toast. It was good but not worth the wait.

Blythe Z.

We didn't have the pleasure of eating here. The tables as I has discussed with the bus boy are first come first serve. As I had seen other woman, walk right in and take a table literally seconds before me. My husband was giving the order at the counter and I pulled him out of line. I guess to make a long story short, some cheese ball wanted the table I sat at, even though one was opening up right behind me and grabbed a manager I presume to ask me to give it up. When I told this woman that I had just asked your busboy if it was alright to take this table and he told me yes, her response was "don't worry there will be plenty of other tables". It was a really cool morning, and it was hot as hell in there... very cramped. My husband did not want to to stay after I told him of the experience and it was a blessing in disguise - we found a great place right around the corner.

I had breakfast at this restaurant one morning while in New Orleans in November 2010. I found the lady that took my order was quite unpleasant, and she did not give me my coffees I ordered for my wife and I. I had to go back to the counter and ask for them. Then when our food was brought out, the plate my waffle was on was all greasy with some other food. I do not think I would return there again. However, the friends I was with had ordered bloody marys, and they commented that they were very good.

A solid four stars! Went for Christmas breakfast and was very glad I did. I got the Crawfish omelet with hash browns. The omelet was cooked perfectly and the hasbrown's , were amazing. It took a while to get the food, but the place was so warm and friendly i didn't mind. My friend got pancakes and they were cooked perfectly too! Crispy on the outside and thick and fluffy on the inside.

If you get there early in a weekday, before the work day, it's quiet and the servers could not be nicer. Beware of the size of the servings though! Mine could have easily fed two! (Tasty though!)

Let me start out by saying that I loved my breakfast! I had the crawfish omelet, and it was wonderful. Crawfish were fresh and hot. Rest of the meal was just average. It was crowded and load. But, I guess that is a sign of good food. My problem was that you had to move the mop bucket out of the way to get to the cooler with the juices and milk. ICK!! Staff was very friendly.

This is my type of place! A complete hole-in-the-wall little cafe with about ten tables with people coming in and out for delish food. I had my breakfast here today. I was going to just have their ham, egg, and cheese sandwich but then I noticed that they had a seafood omelet and a crawfish omelet. Their pancakes also looked amazing. With so many amazing breakfast options, I was a bit overwhelmed by this little place. In the end, with the help of the cashier, I committed to the seafood omelet. This gave me a chance to compare it to my other seafood omelet from Daisy Dukes, which is several stores down! Can I say that it was amazing? mMMmmm, with the first and last bite - the satisfying sensation was overwhelming. I loved it! Thumbs up! The omelet had a special cajun sauce, crawfish, shrimp, and mmm-mushrooms with hashbrowns! Delish! I can not even explain it into words! I finished my plate and licked it clean! The people here are super friendly and nice! My friend ordered the Easy Breakfast with sausage, bacon, eggs, hashbrowns, and pancakes. Their homemade pancakes were beautiful. I honestly do not care for pancakes, but these were perfectly light crisped on the outside and super fluffy on the inside. With a touch of butter and syrup, I am willing to return for the pancakes tomorrow morning.... maybe with a side of cajun crawfish omelet! Cafe Fleur De Lis is reasonable priced and a very pleasant dining experience. Thumbs up to awesome breakfast. If only breakfast could always be an experience like this.... I will die happy!

The breakfast was really nothing different than a waffle house smothered, covered and so on. Will not be returning. I give them 3 stars because they serve a good Bloody Mary. Other dishes looked better than the house special hash browns.

Rosalyn S.

This place is much more diner than cafe, i.e., not the cleanest place I've ever brunched. I ordered coffee and eggs benedict with hash browns. The coffee was typical diner coffee, watery but okay; the hash browns were good but super salty (and this is coming from a girl that loves a well salted meal); and the eggs benedict caused me the most inner conflict.. The eggs were poached perfectly but a little on the wet side, the hollandaise sauce was done quite well but the biscuit in place of the english muffin throws off the texture, and to add insult to injury, the ham they used was the super thin sliced lunch meat style ham, which was disappointing.

Anna B.

AMAZING!!!! Best breakfast I had in New Orleans by far!!!!! I came here starved on a Sunday at 1 PM and there was no line and no wait, we ordered our food and it came out pretty quickly. I got the three eggs scrambled with bacon and grits and a biscuit....delicious. They use real eggs instead of that already beaten kind and you can really taste the difference. The biscuit was nice and fluffy, and the grits were buttery and scrumptious. I also shared the belgian waffle with bananas and it was AWESOME. My friends had the tuna sandwich and they said it was great as well. Wanted to come back for lunch but I was so stuffed from breakfast!!! Plus its fairly inexpensive, especially for being in the French Quarter. LOVED IT!!!!

We went for breakfast on our last day in New Orleans because we had walked by a couple times and it looked intriguing. We ordered the waffle with bananas and ham, egg, cheese sandwich on a croissant. The food took a bit but that only meant it was being cooked to order for us. The hash browns were delicious and cooked just right with some crisp to them. The waffle was fresh and delicious with the added bananas on top, it was a bit thick but filling. The croissant was also fresh and a good size.

I've eaten at this little cafe about a dozen times on visits to the Big Easy and I love it. Great eggs bene, ultimate grilled cheese, hash browns and most of all, the pancakes... out of this world! The staff couldn't be friendlier and in true southern fashion, you feel more like a cherished friend when you step up to the counter to place an order than just a customer. This is usually my first breakfast visit on any trip to New Orleans.
(5)
Sophia L.

Honestly they have the best hash browns around. Maybe it's because I'm not a hash brown type of lady, but all I know is that they were full of flavor and I wish I had more on my plate! I ordered the two egg platter, which everything was delicious, including the sausage & eggs which sometimes are iffy anywhere you go. My fiance ordered some pancakes on the side and boy did I love them! I was so stuffed after eating here. We got our food to go, because the line was super long and we didn't want to wait around for our table with our 10 month old. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone visiting the French Quarter. It's cute, priced decently and YUMMY!

My husband and I came in this afternoon for some breakfast. We knew what this place used to be before they turned to table service. My husband got the French toast, which was really good despite the over use of nutmeg, and I got the healthy plate, which was just alright. Being that we are locals and I work in the food industry here, we're usually really forgiving when it comes to poor service. Today wasn't really the day for that. Our server, who did not provide a name, with dyed red hair, came to us a total of four times. The first was to quickly take our drink order. The second, our food order. The third and fourth time were to hurry us out of the restaurant. She never came to us when we got our meal, she never asked us how it was or if we even needed anything (like that glass of water we ordered first and had to hunt down the food runner to bring it to us when our food was already on the table). After we were finished and had payed she threw our book at us without a glance and hurried to finish her conversation with the other server who was rolling silverware and was "trying to get out" of there. We come to this place because it is right behind our apartment, we understand its a semi busy Sunday brunch, but we (especially because I am a server in this town) don't understand obvious disrespect towards guests who are paying your bills. She got her 20% tip which was obvious all she wanted, but if she were to ever walk in my resultant, rest assured she will get an ear full out of me. Lesson here: don't bite the hand that feeds you, for if you do, you might just end up with spit in your next meal around town. This is a community based town, we all talk, servers included.

Nothing fancy, nothing super original. Just good food. Service was a bit chaotic but friendly though we wanted a good 20 minutes for our food to come out. The gal at the grill was hopping so I can't bitch too much, but I was soooo hungry the wait seemed to last forever! Breakfast is served all day.

This place is the definition of no-frills. The food is decent and plentiful. The decor pretty standard. Another reviewer called it a "hole in the wall," and the description fits. You order at the counter, but it can get dicey if you haven't grabbed a table first if the place is crowded. Otherwise you might end up with a plate of hot food on the curb.

Had a great breakfast this morning. Met the manager Nick. Great guy. Loved the fact that he took time to go out of his way to talk to me and ask how my dining experience was. Great spot for the locals as well as the tourists. I had the Big Easy breakfast. Enough food for two. The pancakes were excellent. Good fast service, good food and overall good experience.

Sooooo slooooow. Took 45 minutes to get my food. Not how long I want to wait for breakfast (which by the time you get it should be called lunch). Grits were dry. Biscuits were dry.... nothing special.

Kim H.

I would have given this place more stars if it wasn't so packed and chaotic. Granted, I was there right at lunch time and it's in a touristy area (I was a visiting tourist myself). It's one of those places where you order, get a number, and then get a table. Or, in my case, wait for a LONG time for a table. It kind of works out because they are really slow with bringing the food, so by the time I found a table, it was just another 5 minutes before the food came out. I wasn't super hungry so I just got a spinach salad, with strawberries and feta. It was good. The menu is really varied. They have a lot of great breakfast items and sandwiches. There are plenty of options for vegetarians, and the portions are big. They just need more seating.
(3)
Pamela S.

The breakfast here is great. We were in NOLA for 5 nights/4 days & ate here for 3 days bcs we foolishly ate somewhere else our 1st morning. I wouldn't consider this a greasy spoon but more of a diner type breakfast. Their prices are reasonable especially with it being right in the French Quarter where price gouging seems to be the norm.
(5)
Dallas K.

Only had breakfast here, but it was to die for! Sausage is great, but it's the hashbrowns that seal the deal. Garlicy, buttery...perfection! Prices are good for how much you get. Can't finish a whole breakfast, even when really hungry!

Rae F.

Came here after reading some reviews and it was just average. I never realized how much I didn't like ordering a big breakfast without actually having a table first. That is the scariest, to order first then hope a table opens up by the time you get it. But then again, the food takes a while to come out...about 30 minutes on top of the 30 minutes you spent waiting for the table! Was the food worth the wait? We did not think so, and believe you me, I'll wait for tasty breakfast (coming from NYC a la Clinton St. Bakery!)

This place was good. I had the seafood omelet and I could have used a bit more seafood. As a local I'm used to places piling on the shrimp and crawfish so this felt skimpy but the flavors were great, everything was cooked well and the price was good. The service was great too and everyone was friendly.

Cindy V.

my husband and i were recently in NOLA for four days, which included three mornings. which, of course, meant three breakfasts. we ate breakfast at cafe fleur de lis twice. in fact, the only reason we didn't eat there all three mornings is because we ate at another restaurant the first morning. had we eaten here first, cafe fleur de lis would've been three for three. we saw a waiter leave a couple of times with trays of covered food and walk across the street to the hotel. it appears as though this place delivers room service to the guests there. we'll be staying there next time :) the pancakes were in-credible. i have no idea what my husband ate, i can't remember. i was far too involved with my strawberry covered, powdered sugar dusted, impossibly fluffy pancakes to really even notice. i'm pretty sure they brought me a plate of 3 pancakes, but it could just as easily have been 12. there was no way i was finishing them all and i was just a little sad about it...is it weird to miss pancakes? anyway, super friendly staff, reasonably priced (for b'fast in the quarter) and, of course, ridiculously good pancakes. eat here!!!!

This place is great! While it was pretty crowded on a friday morn, the food was great, the staff were super nice and the prices were very low. I got the big easy breakfast with 2 eggs, 2 bacon, 2 sausage, 2 pancakes and hashbrowns. All this for 10 bucks. Really. An incredible deal at an incredible place. I'll be back!

Sebastian E.

Unless you are still drunk from the night before...or better the late morning hours, I would not recommend this place. The food was ok, I did not try the hash brown madness noted in other reviews. As for the place, you are entered with a tray of sample food servings; in essence order what you see. The highly eclectic music mix, ranging from YMCA (great to have with your morning breakfast) to KC and the Sunshine band is so loud that even ordering is a bit of a challenge. It is not clear whether one is to order at the counter or wait for table service, if there is one, they are beyond slow. It is probably best to go and order at the bar at the end of the place. The grill was not what I would call clean so I made myself look the other way. Staff was very friendly at the bar, even though not really helpful. I eventually figured out what to order and also discovered the self serving rack on the side with Jam, butter and silverware. The food was brought to the table and was, as noted above, simply ok. Did not finish it and left this place behind...never to been seen again (by me).

We came here twice for Breakfast! AWESOMEly yummy! This restaurant was listed on our Hotel Concierge Best breakfast joints! I definitely agree! Firs visit, I ordered Fleur de Lis omelet (crawfish tails, pepper jack cheese, bell peppers, onions and topped with Cajun Crawfish sauce) for $11.95, it came with their heaven hash browns and white toast . Definitely worth it! It was the best omelet I have eaten in the French Quarter! My boyfriend ordered buttermilk pancakes. He liked it! Our second visit, I ordered a stack of Blueberry pancakes. I was hoping to have my blueberries mixed in with the pancakes, but it was just sprinkled on top my buttermilk pancakes. I've had better! My boyfriend ordered sausage & gravy hash brown heaven for $5.50. Definitely worth visiting if you're a breakfast person.

This is a fantastic place for breakfast and lunch in the French Quarter. It's just honest, simple, good food for a great price. I've had nearly everything from this little place. Pastries. Pancakes. Egg breakfasts. Chicken ceasar salads. Sandwiches. Mimosas... YES! They have mimosas! Just know that it's a pretty small place, and can get packed pretty quickly. But be patient. The line usually goes pretty fast, though the tables don't always clear fast enough for my liking. If you want something fast, delicious and of high quality for the price, I would definitely recommend this spot.

Bustling loud dive, we tried the lunch menu but the breakfast menu seemed popular. Lots of locals, young hipsters. Food was good, service prompt but casual. Nice atmosphere. Only about 20 tables so be ready to wait a sec at peak times.

The sign outside said "Shrimp and Grits--C'mon in!" but when we arrived, the waiter told us they were out of grits. For the record, they were also out of pasta salad. I ordered a dish with a seafood cake and hollandaise sauce. The cake was gooey in the middle ad burned on the outside, and the sauce had a bright acidic flavor that made me wonder if it had started to go bad. The waiter was inattentive and did little to conceal the fact that he couldn't wait for us to leave.

Stopped here on our 1st morning in NOLA because it was close to our hotel. WHAT A GEM! The hash browns are awesome and the bacon they use is very high quality. I've only had thick, meaty bacon like they use at Cafe Fleur de Lis at much more expensive places. I had the two egg plate and my husband had the shrimp & grits, which were also great. We liked this place so much we went back again before we left.

Tim P.

If you like butter, this is your place. If you like coffee, head elsewhere. Food was pretty average, but functional. Pancakes were thick with butter inside the mix. Coffee was watery, so if Starbucks or Peets is your pleasure then you'll be left wanting. Hashbrowns are actively stirred, so keep that in mind as hashbrown preferences vary widely. Service was great, and the woman directing traffic (people to tables) was fabulous. She turned what could be chaos into something that worked like a finely oiled machine.

Erin H.

Loved this place on a recent visit to town! First I'm all for places that have it together with the seating. You wait in line and then this awesome lady tells you which table to sit in. None of that "people grabbing tables to beat the line" crap you find in other similar businesses. And guess what it works? Also the staff HUSTLES - they are many of them and they are never standing still! I enjoyed the copious amounts if ice tea I had and the breakfast was delish! I had the 3 egg breakfast with grits and sausage - yummy! And my boyfriend DID enjoy the crispy hashbrowns - hard to come by. Definitely recommend for a good and quick meal.

We just arrived in New Orleans after a tiring red eye flight, and we were starving for some breakfast. Good old yelp came to the rescue and we found Cafe Fleur De Lis in walking distance. The place is jammed packed on a Friday morning, and the line takes forever. Speed is definitely not their forte here. But everyone's food looked so good, that we decided to wait it out. Omg the pancakes here are so delish!! I guess I don't order pancakes frequently, but this was miles better than what i've had at Stacks or IHOP back at home. So buttery, so yummy. I also loved the hash browns. YUM! Everything else was your standard breakfast fare, but overall I was satisfied and happy.

Besides busy hustle & bustle (which you would expect from any cafe in Nawlins anyway) this place is great! These guys serve up some pretty tasty hasbrowns and pancakes. I recommend the big easy breakfast.

The food here is great for breakfast. Nice portions. Egg dishes we well loved by everyone in the group. The hash browns were excellent some of the best I have had in my whole life. The staff is hard working and willing to check on if everything is fine. Very reasonable, good quality food, and nice clean dining area. A rare find in New Orleans.

This place serves up some of the best breakfast in the french quarter. We ate here on a recommendation from someone we met while drinking some beers in New Orleans on Magazine St. and he couldnt say enough good about the place. So glad we listened to him as it was one of the best omelets I've ever eaten. I had the signature Fleur De Lis omlelet which had crawfish tails, pepper jack cheese, bell peppers, onions, and was topped with a cajun crawfish sauce. Absolutely delicious, I wish i could eat like that every morning. The wait at this place can be a little long at times, and you have to stand in line to order, which may turn some off, but if you dont mind a little wait for some awesome breakfast food you cant go wrong with this place.

Good food at reasonable prices. Large crowds especially on weekends for breakfast and brunch. Tough to get a coffee refill. Both general American breakfasts and ones with a more Nawlins flavor.

Awesome and reasonable for breakfast in New Orleans. Cheaper than the hotels and much better than any fast food chain. Service is fast and counter help refers to you as "Baby" or "Honey" throughout the visit. Highly recommended.

Went here based upon the Yelp reviews, and had a decent experience. The biggest negative was the amount of time it took get get served - ordering took forever and a huge line formed behind us while we were waiting for them to enter our order. Once we ordered, it then took a good 50 minutes to get our Eggs Benedict and Seafood Gumbo which is way too long to wait for breakfast - granted it was a Sunday morning, but it's still way too long to wait. That being said, the food was quite tasty (not mind-blowing, but wonderful hash browns and the gumbo was quite good), and the despite the slow service the staff was at least all very friendly. Would go here again, but only on a slower day! The

Nice little setting. Warm atmosphere, though the staff certainly seemed apathetic to your being there. They just take your order, drop of your food without ever an exchange of words or eye contact. I had the crawfish omlette. The sauce was delicious, the omlet itself was nothing special, but the crawfish tails were delicious. I would have liked to see a bigger omlette for the price. 3 stars = ok, not great

I stopped here because it looked nice and my friends and I were starving. Upon entering we were yelled at to shut the door (we were literally just crossing the threshold when the waiter snapped at us) and then he took menus and literally threw them on a table and walked away. We waited for over 10 minutes before anyone ever greeted the table and the only reason anyone ever came was because I had to flag down another server when she walked passed us (and another table who had been seated just before us who also had no server) to greet a table who just walked in. Our server was the same guy who yelled at us earlier and when I suggested to my sister that she order her food with her drink he said "yeah lets just get this all over with at once". The burger was disgusting, it looked like a McDonalds hamburger but greasier. I just got coffee so I can't say I tasted it but if it had been served to me I would have returned it. I had to flag the server down for the check and when I put my card out to be taken (everyone else was paying in cash) he walked by literally six times without taking the card. I ended up just paying cash. I have served my entire college career so I understand what the job is like but to be blatantly hostile is something I will never understand. Yes, we are tourists just like probably 90% of the restaurant (it was Sugar bowl weekend so the team colors gave it away) but that is no excuse to treat people so poorly. This was the first time I have not tipped someone and this is the first time I've written a negative review but I was really that upset about it. I made sure to tell all my friends to steer clear of this place when they visit.

I had the Fleur De Lis Omelet and it was delicious. In town for a tech conference (SpringOne), I wanted to find an authenticy feeling place for breakfast, and this fit the bill. It was a casual, hole-in-the-wall atmosphere with a tiny kitchen and delicious food.

Ingrid H.

This was extremely difficult to rate. The food was really good. We had the French toast which came with a side of fresh fruit. All was very tasty. We actually stopped in hoping for a pastry and coffee as a nice break during our exploration of the city, but they didn't have any pastries, any chicory coffee or any iced coffee.. which were the very items we wanted. We settled on a latte, mocha and to split an order of French toast. The toast came out first.. we had to eventually ask for our drinks. The waitress did apologize for forgetting them and then comped them, but still all in all a very odd experience.

3 stars seems about right. Went in here twice, first time it was worthy of 4 stars and the second time it was worthy of 2. You average that out and you get 3 stars. Look at that public school education pay off for me.

Excellent shrimp and grits for breakfast! A nice spicy barbecue taste to it. My husband had the Boudin omelette and it was good but the boudin wasn't crisp and was and he thinks that would've been better, but the hashbrowns were phenomenal.

Angus W.

On our way for some Beignet's and got sidetracked. Nice atmosphere, kind of fun and loud. Good food, not special when it comes to the breakfast staples. Lisa enjoyed their house Grapefruit Mimosa I got the Big Easy breakfast.. in the future I would substitute the not so great sausage patties for more bacon. Big, soft fresh biscuits. They allowed me to substitute french toast for the pancakes and that was a pretty delicious idea. The french toast is made using Po' Boy bread.. so it's a nice amount of crispy and chewy. Good coffee in large cups, strangely they have to take the cups away to re-fill them. A good experience and we liked our server quite a bit.

Kara M.

Pros: the eggs Benedict was amazing and so was the French toast. I would recommend them both highly. The service was pretty good! Cons: the hostess looked like she hated her life, the air conditioning was very bad, the sausage was nasty. Overall, I would definitely recommend this place based on the food!!

3 words: Shrimp and grits. Recently vacationed to NOLA and the food was definitely the highlight of the trip. This little gem was definitely a frontrunner when it came to eateries. Located right across from our hotel, it's a small, but charming restaurant that specializes in bangin ass breakfast. We started with delicious strawberry and peach mimosas. My friend doesn't like to try new things and went with the shrimp and grits and had no regrets whatsoever. I love trying new things and loved every bite of the cheddar cheesy delicious dish served with a warm homemade biscuit. My friend went with eggs benedict but with a NOLA twist served on warm biscuits and she got the bread pudding which isn't really my thing but it was great too. The service was great and they gave us to go cups for our unfinished drinks. Take a trip to New Orleans if you aren't there already and get the shrimp and grits. Tell them Dom sent you. Jk don't they won't have any idea who I am...

Heather N.

I came to Cafe Fleur de Lis at the recommendation of a friend. She said to come have the pancakes or cheese grits, so of course I came and did neither. I opted instead for the shrimp and grits - my wife had eggs over easy, bacon, cheesy grits and toast. I did not like my shrimp and grits. The shrimp was overpowered by the taste of Worcestershire sauce. I do enjoy the flavor of Worcestershire but it detracted from the goodness of the cheese grits and definitely stole the show from what could have been some excellent gulf shrimp. My wife enjoyed her meal (and the grits were good!). Service was decent. Our check was only $23 so the prices were not bad. One of their special salads sounded intriguing - Cajun shrimp with watermelon and feta. If I had enough time left I might go back to try it...but with only a day and a half left in the city, I can't waste my time and risk a subpar meal when there's so much good eating left to do!!

Had the Spicy Boudin Omelette with hash browns; absolutely fantastic! The best breakfast we had had so far! Definitely a must when in New Orleans!

Jeannie G.

This place has all the breakfast basics, so nothing really special. I ordered the 2 egg omelette with asparagus and prosciutto - the asparagus was tiny and did not contain any spears but the prosciutto was adequate. I do not eat bread so I asked for a substitute for my toast. The server refused any substitute saying that "it just comes out of the kitchen that way" - fine. There are maybe 11 tables in this very small space so she could have literally walked two paces to the cook and asked him for options - but I was told I could just not eat the toast. My husband had the seafood Benedict which was served on a biscuit instead of an English muffin so that was a unique offering. However, the hollandaise sauce was excessively citrusy. The food wasn't necessarily bad but overpriced for what it was and there are many better places in the French Quarter.

I typically try to avoid going to places twice on my visits to unfamiliar cities, but this place & Sylvain have both made me bow down to the people in their kitchen and visit multiple times. My mom got something weird & basic, like scrambled eggs or something dumb, and she loved it. I got the eggs florentine and a mimosa and it was so banging I don't even understand. It's like the sun came out all over my taste buds. #hotdamn We were sat right up by the host stand and the ladies at the front were polite and funny, and unobtrusive. Our waiter John was a sweetheart and comically tall to be waiting on tables (but friendly and efficient when he does it!). Thank you Cafe Fleur de Lis, can't wait to see you later today for some breakfast!

Christina V.

This place is outstanding. Tucked on a quiet side street in the French quarter, we first walked into Cafe Beignet before being somewhat unimpressed & deciding to hop around the block to this place. What a GReAT decision! The place is fairly small, quaint older decor like you'd expect in a Nola coffee breakfast joint. My latte was excellent, & my husbands coffee had great flavor. We ordered the Fleur De Lis omelet (with crawfish), the spicy Boudin omelet (I wouldn't say it was spicy but it was fantastic) & were absolutely BLOWN AWAY by the Bananas Foster French Toast. The toast was excellent & the bananas, pecans & praline liqueur sauce just made everything sooo divine. I've literally never had such amazing French toast in my life! Ask for Bree, she's the best!

Perfect spot for breakfast. A group of us took a stroll over from the hotel and started our day off with a feast! Big cups of delicious coffee, boudin, and perfectly cooked eggs. This place is a hit. Decorated in light colors with some interesting art on the wall, the place has kind of a hipster vibe to it. But, not in the pretentious sense, more in the eclectic sense. The menu isn't huge, but is certainly comprehensive. I ordered this great eggs and boudin combo with grits. It was big, filling, and perfect. My permanent breakfast spot when I'm in town. Lost a star because, although very nice, server kept forgetting some things that we asked for...like water...and milk for coffee...I mean, nothing big, but c'mon man!
(4)
Daniele L.

Cute little spot. Really nice and attentive wait staff. Food comes out quickly and was delicious. The shrimp and grits were different than any I have tried before but I loved the flavor. My husband ordered the boudin omelette and it was fantastic too. We will have to be back to try the seafood Benedict because it looked amazing.

On the last morning of our trip we decided to walk around the French Quarter and pick out a place for a late breakfast. It looked nice and there wasn't too long of a line at Cafe Fleur De Lis so we decided to try it out. I was really hungry so I had the Big Easy Breakfast - "2 eggs cooked any style, bacon, sausage, 2 pancakes and a toast served with hash browns or grits." It was all pretty good, and was way more than I could eat. The hostess was awesome and our server was really nice. It's a fairly small place that feels very comfy once you settle in. I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a well above average breakfast or lunch.

Matt P.

Great breakfasts burrito and the cinnamon pancakes were awesome too. The hash-browns were salty and biscuit was okay.

Gabrielle M.

Excellent breakfast for the price point. We both enjoyed our omelets but the hash browns were nothing too special. The coffee was tasty and the bread pudding was a nice finish. We'd come back if there weren't so many other local options to try.

Donna D.

I really wanted some shrimp and grits for brunch and found this hole in the wall spot. From my experience those places are usually the best. It was fairly crowded but we were seated pretty quickly, however, they quickly forgot about us as well. Nonetheless, I ordered my shrimp and grits and was very disappointed. The sauce on top of the grits was a huge letdown. The flavors were terrible mixed with the shrimp and cheese grits. It tasted as if the sauce was spoiled... Way to lemony. It would probably pair well with grilled chicken and pasta but not on cheesy grits and shrimp. It would have been great if they eliminated the sauce. This was definitely not a win. When I'm back in NOLA, I've got to try somewhere else.

Kelsey W.

We met up with a couple friends for brunch on Memorial Day, and the service, food, and drinks were great!! Everything came out in a timely manner and was cooked well. The place is quite small, maybe 15 tables, and barely enough room to accommodate all of our plates (4 regular sized plates plus 2 smaller plates) plus drinks and waters. It was right around the corner from our hotel, which is why we chose it, and not too much of a wait, maybe 15 minutes. I would definitely go back if we're in the area again! Try their peach or strawberry mimosa!

Outstanding breakfast place. A real hole-in-the-wall that we would not have picked if not for the Yelp reviews. We had the breakfast wraps which were awesome, the breakfast combo (pancakes were the best) and the french toast (also great). Friendly staff and prices that were more than reasonable made this an easy five star.

Tamer A.

I'm writing about their new location at the edge of French Market, next to Louisiana Pizza Kitchen. Went with a large group & tasted a lot of the menu all at once. They poach those eggs with perfection for eggs Benedict. The coffee is awesome. They mix a delicious Bloody Mary. Chocolate chip pancakes are devine. Ambiance & decor is typical French quarter, but it is very clean. I'm going back until I go through the entire menu & more.
(5)
Ashley N.

Wow! Amazing food.... I had the big easy breakfast. It's a lot of food for the price. And those grits were divine, creamy and goody good. I also enjoyed the pancakes. Very cute spot in the French quarter. My waiter was a little off... Forgot a few things and was a little slow at getting them. No AC either, so on a hot day... It can get pretty toasty. Otherwise, delectable food! And highly recommended.

Steve L.

The owner of Fleur De Lis contacted me on Yelp soon after I posted my review to apologize and inform me of the steps he's planning to take to rectify the situation. Thanks for taking care of things and being responsive Charlie. The breakfast experience I had here was pretty okay. I enjoyed sitting near the kitchen and watching the cook pound out dish after dish without pause. I don't know how he worked in that hot kitchen with his beanie and long sleeves the entire time but it was inspiring to watch. My hash browns were made extra crispy just like I ordered them - a rare and very welcome treat. The sausage gravy for my biscuits was too salty though. My hungover friends seemed to enjoy their bacon bloody mary's very much.

Had the pancakes and were honestly not too impressed, almost tasted a bit raw. My friend had the shrimp and grits and the sauce for that was very tasty. Wouldn't return here but wasn't too bad either.

First of all this is a very small lovely quaint breakfast restaurant that has a lot of character. My wife and I are visiting New Orleans and staying local. we passed by decided to stop in. the service was fine and we tried two different breakfasts. I tried the spinach Florentine which was excellent. My wife had a basic breakfast eggs and hashbrowns which was good. We stopped in again the next day to try something different. I tried the eggs benedict which was very good, and my wife had french toast, and fresh fruit what she said excellent. Again, the service was very good the price was fair.

Kristie A.

I was looking for a good breakfast place and I was glad to have found this dime. I ordered Seafood Benedict and oh my- it was delicious! A biscuit with seafood patty and poached egg on top. It was absolutely delicious. It didn't need any more seasoning. The seafood patty is really where it's at! I was going to order French toast but I thought, hey I'm in New Orleans I gotta try something new. However, I did see my table neighbor ordering it and it did look delicious as well. Very big portions! I highly recommend this neat little cafe! I'm so glad I found it on yelp!

Very attentive staff and excellent decor. Had the seafood Benedict and my friend had the creole breakfast. The food was presented nicely and very memorable flavor especially the grits and the seafood cake. There was spice but not overpowering. I would recommend checking this place out if your from out of town you won't regret it.

OMG!! Their food is so good!! Seafood Benedict can't be topped. Eggs cooked perfectly and a kick of spice. Sausage is delish!

Mary E.

Our server was nice. The cook, not so much. After we ordered, a different server than our original one, brought us our food. My Wakeup Burger was served with an egg that was completely raw and cold on the top. It looked like someone sneezed an egg onto my burger. I asked that the egg be cooked more thoroughly, not thinking much of it, and after having the server point me out, the cook cast a glare at me and put my plate in the microwave, instead of simply cooking the egg a little more. My plate was returned with the egg still raw and the rest of the food ruined. Not sure why the 2nd server found that acceptable. It was pretty upsetting. Our original server offered to get me something else and removed the uneaten burger from my bill, which I appreciated, but I opted not to order anything else.

Stopped in for lunch. Waiter had no personality. None of the wait staff were really friendly, very somber atmosphere. A cook pointed out to our waiter that a table needed his attention. Had a Poor Boy shrimp sandwich. I think these sandwiches are special because of the roll. Hard to say but the roll seemed like it was day old and not fresh for the day. The meal came with fries, they were okay. Would i recommend friends to eat here , no. The place was very uninspiring.

This place is great! The service is wonderful, the staff is very friendly and kind; and the food... If I could have licked my plate I would have. Have the grits, they are well worth it. And the coffee will truly start your morning off right. Everything was so good in fact, that I had breakfast there two days in a row. A++ Chris from Chicago

Johnny P.

We come here often, and always enjoy our food. It is always fresh and there are moderately healthy and vegetarian options. It's the perfect breakfast after a night out, and the kind of place where you could order a coffee or a Bloody Mary with your food and either way it's all good. Two things to note are the mid-afternoon closing time and that there is no A/C.
(5)
Thomas A.

I love this homestyle like atmosphere of a restaurant/diner. It was pretty quiet when I went on a Saturday morning for breakfast. There was only 1 other table being served. As I was eating here, it was slowly getting more of a crowd. You know the place is a good place to eat when you see locals coming by and the servers know them. It means the food is good enough to come back on a consistent basis. The servers were friendly. I ordered shrimp and grits & a coffee. As I was drinking my coffee, i noticed the menu mentioned chicory coffee, so I inquired about it. Unknown to me, I already had some chicory coffee when I ate at cafe du monde the day before, but the flavors were masked by the milk. THe server mentioned that Chicory is a substitute to the coffee bean, and sometimes it comes as a mix since the New Orleans people are used to the flavor. It has an herbal/bitter taste to it, but I actually don't mind it. It adds another dimension to coffee flavor. The server was kind enough to provide me with a sample of the chicory coffee so I can taste the difference. The shrimp and grits were banging! Fresh Louisiana Gulf shrimp sautÃ©ed with garlic, butter and shallots served over generous portion of cheddar cheese grits. It was all that and then some. It had some brown drizzle that enhanced the flavor, which I'm pretty sure is Worcestershire sauce. The creaminess of the butter and cheese melting into the grits provided a nice smooth heavy balance to the juicy shrimp. It was salty, sweet, tart,...it hit all the palates of my taste buds, and I couldn't stop my spoon for scooping the bowl clean. I definitely will come back here again the next time I am in New Orleans since it is a short walk from Bourbon.

Rennette F.

Loved every part of our breakfast. We ordered the Creole Country breakfast & Shrimp & Grits. Spectacular, the biscuit & grits were awesome. The dish also came with Boudin sausage. It was my first time trying this pork & rice type sausage and it was ok just not my favorite because of the texture but great flavor. The hurrican was good "breakfast stength" could've used more of a punch! The shrimp and grits was great too esp the amount if shrimp you get. If you're not a fan of very saucy food you may want to get the shrimp/sauce on the side. Service was quick & friendly. They can be a wait, ours was 45 minutes, but it flew by without roam around Chatars Street

Cafe Fleuer De Lis is one of the great breakfast places that abound the French Quarter. Walk a few blocks from Bourbon Street and you are on a quiet street and nobody bothers you to enter a bar or club. Cafe Fleur De Lis offers a nice variety of omelets, pancakes and some of the thickest grits you will find. You don't jog after eating grits here. You might waddle but you won't be jogging for a day. Pancakes with bananas are my favorite and only about seven dollars.

It might not be the best breakfast of my life nor the place I would choose for every morning meal, but out of all other places in French Quarter, over the 5 days of us being here, it is by far the best. I got spinach feta wrap, and it was very tasty. Staff was super nice and helpful. Open on Xmas.

This place sparked my love for shrimp and grits! ...and bacon bloody marys. Yes, bacon bloody marys! Found this place with my handy Yelp app while wandering around New Orleans and so happy that I did. The inside is quite small so we did have to wait a few minutes for a table but it was definitely worth it. While standing in line I noticed a sign for bacon bloody marys so, of course, I had to try one... or two ;) They were amazing! Made with bacon flavored vodka, the perfect amount of spicy, and loaded with two strips of bacon, picked green beans and peppers. Their food menu is also great. Lots of unique items and everything is full of flavor. We ordered the shrimp and grits and pancakes (sweet potato I think). The shrimp and grits were amazing! Seriously, If you only try one thing here, you have to try the shrimp and grits! Loved this place so much that I ended up back here the next day... for more bacon bloody marys and shrimp and grits! (Can you tell I liked the shrimp and grits?)

The Shrimp & Grits made me cry... more like weep... more like pass out to the ground, die, then go to heaven just to tell the Lord how good these Shrimp & Grits have been to me. After I took a plate to the mountain, two angels grabbed me by the arms and brought me back down to earth just so I could finish my plate. I had to lift my hand up in the air and praise the chef. YASSSSSSSS lollll. When I left New Orleans my aunt and I discussed our 2 favorite dishes from the whole trip and the Shrimp & Grits here are my #1. I remember every single bite that I took, and this dish here stayed in my soul (and waistline). Trust me on tis review.... get the Shrimp & Grits. Side Note: This restaurant is located on a street full of good shopping.

Fantastic! Been here twice in two day inNOLA and will be here the next two days. Bacon Mary is the way to go and the sweet cream pancakes are the best pancakes I've ever had (and I've had A LOT). Staff is super friendly and will give you as many mimosas as you can carry to go.

Cinnamon roll pancakes were amazing!! They are warm and sweet with icing on top. Best pancakes I've ever eaten. Also had breakfast platter which was great! Eggs were perfect and the grits were gone fast. Others with us had the eggs Benedict and said it was the best they've tried.

A. J.

Saw so many raves for the shrimp and grits that I stopped by a couple of days ago for that. I have to say, maybe it's just not for me. It was drenched in this vinaigrette that made the whole plate overly acidic. The Bacon Bloody Mary (yes bacon) however, has given me a new fondness for the drink. The staff was friendly and hospitable. There was no wait time for a table. The menu looked good, I'll come back and try something else more breakfast like.

Camille P.

I stumbled across this place and decided to grab breakfast. The hosts texts you when your table is ready and I though that was pretty cool. I had a Bhaskar player that was pretty cool only thing is the space is extremely tight. But that's part of the Chartres street restaurant appeal. The strawberry mimosa was great and the waitstaff was pretty nice. only drawback is for such a basic breakfast and meal experience it is a bit pricey. Overall an ok experience.

This place is great! This was the scene of our final Nola breakfast at the end of my bachelorette weekend and it was the perfect ending. Since we were still on vacay, we obviously had to go with bloody marys - extra spicy. They were solid, but the real show stopper here was the iced coffee! I ordered a glass and couldn't stop raving about it so one of my friend ordered one too, and after her first sip, she shared my sentiments. Neither of us put anything in the coffee - no sweetener, no milk - because the flavor was just so great on it's own. I was seriously impressed. As for my food, I opted to try the spinach and feta wrap. It was quite tasty, but pretty messy. It was clearly cooked with butter/oil, so it was hard to pick up and eat. I'm not a butter fan, so I ended up using my fork and tearing apart the wrap to get the good stuff (aka eggs, feta, and spinach). Whatever works, right? It was served with hash browns and a biscuit, both indulgent and delicious. I only ate a bite of the biscuit because I was trying to have a little self control, but one of my friends ate the rest so it didn't go to waste. And the hash browns were the shredded kind, which are my favorite. I couldn't say no to those. Our server was also great and made the experience even more enjoyable. Like I said, a perfect ending to a perfect weekend!

Very busy place for breakfast; for a good reason. The welcoming and up-front service is friendly and fast, and, the food is good. So, what can you do with breakfast? 1) Good, strong coffee with real dairy offerings. 2) Biscuits or good breads. 3) Potatoes and onions that are fresh, not frozen. And, 4) thick-sliced bacon with a tasty flavor. They have other good-sounding offerings that I would gladly go back and try again. The prices are reasonable for the area and portions are better than many other places nearby. A star is withheld because of the coffee service treatment. The "endless-coffee" for $2.75 on the menu is not quite accurate. After one refill you get your check and no further attention until you pay your bill. Ask for coffee then, forget it as you are forgotten. The message is that it's time for you to leave the table. Lots of subtle cues to leave quickly during your meal as your dishes are bussed-away individually as each person finishes eating. Ok, I get people may be waiting for a table but I've not felt that "get out feeling" more anywhere else.

The hubs and I flew into NOLA late the night before, so we crashed near the airport instead of driving to the 'dell late. That meant a morning and afternoon to tool around the quarter before heading home! The hubs' brother suggested we drop into this cafe for some eats and to say hello to his wife, our sister-in-law. Cute, little place - delicious menu - too many choices! I saw someone's pancakes come out and they looked fluffy and nom-worthy, but I decided to go with something that had a little more local flavor. Enter... the seafood benedict! YUM!! The crab and crawfish patties were so tasty, the biscuit underneath was impossibly light. I liked the hollandaise sauce, but would have loved it if it had come out piping hot and not lukewarm. The hashbrowns that came on the side were WAAAAYYY too salty for my liking, but the hubs had no problem chowing down. Note to self, check his blood pressure. The man ordered shrimp and grits, one of our fave things to make at home, AKA a heart attack on a plate but you go out happy. Anyway, the shrimp were cooked well.. not overdone and rubbery the way they can get but I imagine in the Crescent City they know how to cook a scrimp! He said the grits were perfect - not too runny, not too solid. His only complaint was the gravy - he said it tasted strongly of worchestershire (did I spell that right!?) was overpowering. We'd absolutely go back to this place - there were more items I'd like to try. Tasty!

Great bacon bloody mary. Boudin omelet was delicious. Little bit of a wait but the have "no wait" technology that will text you when your table is ready so you can walk the French Quarter while you wait.

This is really 3.5 stars, but this place was so cute, I'm pushing to a 4. The Line Up: Chai Tea Latte Fleur De Lis Panini Big Easy Breakfast The Verdict: The latte was fantastic & was a nice treat on a cool morning. The panini was huge & tasty, I took 1/2 back to the hotel. Warning: this is not a standard pressed type panini. It was thick on amazing thick bread. It was an awesome leftover at the end of the night to nosh on after a day of VoodDoo Fest. Big Easy Breakfast...standard meal, the pancakes were a plus.

The staff was really nice and friendly! The food was good not great. I ordered the spinach feta wrap. Portions are very abundant, I couldn't finish my wrap. It came with a home made biscuit, that was good, I just wish they'd had a better jam selection. Only flavored were grape and mixed fruits from a small plastic container that looked pretty synthetic. There's no wifi.

My wife and I got the feeling that they couldn't be bothered with us. We are 40+ affluent creoles with executive jobs and know how to behave in a restaurant. The Caucasians were treated exceptionally well while we were ignored and our order was mistreated. My wife order a Bloody Mary that was never delivered but the white people that came in after us received a Bloody Mary. This went on with several tables were there were Caucasian people who were treated very well while we were not. It's a shame. I want every minority who visits the French Quarter to know that they are not welcome in the Cafe Fluer-de-lis!!!

Claire B.

Amazing breakfast had here, pancakes were cooked to perfection. We all three had the Big Easy Breakfast. Lots of food, all awesome except for the sausage...nothing to write home about. I opted for the grits which were some of the best I have ever eaten in.my.life . My husband and mother got the hashbrowns. They had a kick and were pretty dang delicious. We all had mimosas, all very tasty. Two of us got the flavored ones (strawberry and peach). I was worried the fruit would over power the mimosa but they were light and perfect. The ONE downside is the cramped quarters in the restaurant. Definitely not a choice for those who are claustrophobic. We will come back to this place every trip to NOLA.

This is another spot I must hit every time I visit in Nola. So delicious and cute and unassuming. The food is AMAZING. The pancaked are heavenly, seriously get some for your table and share you would be stupid not too. Also, their shrimp and grits are IT! Service is always on point and friendly. I heart this place.

I have a food allergy so I have to be careful of what I eat. Here I had the seafood Benedict with no biscuit and the hash browns and it was soo good! The sauce was delish, the seafood cakes were good and not too oily and fresh orange juice, I loved it

Vanessa B.

I had breakfast here. It was good. I wasn't wow'd by it. Maybe it was just my dish but it did not taste like fresh food and more like can food made in some ingredients. I got the chicory coffee, the waitress even had some coffee cups for us to go. That was nice of her. However, they don't serve white sugar. Confused by that we asked another server and he said "oh yea we do, I can grab some in the back for you." That spelt out laziness from our server. Overall, she did a decent job. I rate it 3 stars just in case it was a bad day for them but please give them a try. Oh and BTW, it's very small in there and you literally are having your food with the other guest table. It's close quarter dining so if you don't mind that you are good to go!

OFF-MENU FAVORITE: the loaded hashbrowns, please bring them back! CLASSIC: noisy but festive French Quarter bistro with tiled floors and tight seating; VERY AFFORDABLE: large cafe au lait and huge loaded hashbrowns: $8.50! Fleur De Lis is what its sister restaurant, CafÃ© Envie, aspires to be but is hindered by its creepy, faux-local crowd. Galatoire's is one of my family's favorite restaurants. What I first remember about it as a kid in the 1960s was its festive noisiness and forced familiarity because of the closeness of the tables and the tiled floors. For me from bistro to cafÃ© all the classic Vieux CarrÃ© eateries have this in common, including Fleur de Lis. The food is one of the best price/quality values in the Quarter. My large loaded hash browns (again, please put them back on the menu!!!) were a perfect mix of crispy potatoes and bacon, spicy sausage and a gooey blend of cheese and cream gravy. The cafÃ© au lait (latte) is large and frothy. After-tax my meal was under $10, and I took half home! BUT BEWARE: given where it's located it can get very busy and crowded!

Great service from Jamie and excellent shrimp and grits, French toast and seafood Benedict. French toast had toasty outside and soft inside. Fast and reasonably priced.

Wouldn't seat a large group. Said that it wouldn't be fair to other patrons. Not sure how that makes sense since we are patrons spending the same money as other patrons. Seems a little backwards if you ask me. Review is only for notice to large groups. Nothing about the food.

This place has been on my list of places to eat for a while, so clearly it was the first place that I had to eat at on my trip to NOLA. I wasn't planning on having a large meal here, just a few oysters, and then on to the next stop. I ended up ordering half a dozen raw oysters, half a dozen chargrilled oysters, and an oyster shooter. The shooter tasted like most shooters that I've had, but I don't really expect much from this. The oysters were GREAT though. I could not believe how big these oysters were. If you are a fan of oysters, you have got to try these! I convinced my mom to try the chargrilled oysters (she does NOT like oysters), and she actually enjoyed them. If you bring someone who is not an oyster fan here, make sure to get the chargrilled oysters. We arrived around 12:15pm on a Thursday afternoon, and there was already a small line outside. The restaurant was getting ready to close down from 12:30 PM until 6:30pm for a private event, but they continued to seat people right up until 12:30pm. I couldn't believe how many people walked right past the line and right into the restaurant though. Make sure to check out the line outside of the door before you try walking in! We sat at a table, as it was the first thing available and we wanted to make sure that we were able to get a seat before they closed. Even though they were closing, they never made us feel rushed, and let us stay until we were finished. I would definitely go back here again.

I was in NOLA for five days and ate here three times. It's that good; for brunch at least. Best staff, cutest little place with perfect lighting and amazing food. I still think about those pancakes and hash browns!

Loved it. The staff was great. The grits and breakfast sausage was out of this world. The definitive Louisiana breakfast once you've broken out of the beignet box.

Good food, nothing spectacular. Got the big easy breakfast, which is a lot of food for its cost. Pretty good. Also got a Peppermint Mocha Au lait that was too girly for my taste but hey, that's my fault. Peppermint Mocha Ai lait? I should've known better. Servers were excellent.

Dylan M.

Used to be counter service (which I actually miss) but now is a sit down place but the food is still the same good ole breakfast and lunch. Always have great meals here. There aren't a lot of budget conscious breakfasts that are fast and easy and GOOD in the quarter but if one place comes to mind it's here. Keeps me coming back. I recommend getting an egg sandwich on a biscuit they make a great biscuit.

Rachel L.

Came in on a busy Saturday morning. The waitresses began to argue with the "hostess" over their table assignments instead of seating us at an open table. Our waitress quickly took our order. 40 mins later after two couples that were seated after us - ate, paid their bill and left, we were told by our waitress that they were out of poached eggs and the next round would be done in 20 mins. She then offered us a whopping 15% off our bill. We needed up leaving without trying our food. Extremely disappointing!!

Great Bloody Mary selection, and really delicious brunch variety. Worth the wait, if there's a line!

The first day we tried to get to-go Bloody Mary's but we were completely ignored so we left. The second day we walked past and there was no line so we decided to grab brunch. The food and service were average. Not bad but don't wait outside 30 mins for it.

I'm from out of town and after carefully perusing yelp reviews I set out to eat breakfast here. Everything was great from the food to the service. Jessie was attentive with a great personality. All of the staff spoke while walking by and made me feel welcome since I was eating by myself. I had the breakfast platter with egg whites, grits, turkey bacon, pancakes, and toast with a coffee and mimosa to wash it down. For all of that with 2 mimosas my bill was under $30! I definitely recommend for anyone looking for a fun environment, good food, and friendly service that won't break your pocket.

Luigia C.

Do yourself a favor...don't come here for breakfast !!! The cappuccino was extremely hot (it took me more than half an hour to drink) as for the sausage I still don't know what it was made of. The only ok food was the eggs...and the only ok drink was the water!!! Better of going to McDonald's...seriously !!!

Galilee H.

Great place! Walked from my hotel for a quick breakfast before leaving town, and ended up leaving "late" due to the fact that the staff was so friendly and we got to visiting. Not to mention the food/coffee was amazing. I had a breakfast sandwich--which looked just like something I could make at home, but was way better! Yummy! Try it!
(5)
Arne H.

Food is fresh and delicious, atmosphere is clean and inviting, and the staff is friendly and capable. I had the french toast which was perfectly done, soft inside with just a touch of crunchy crust. My wife had the farmers omelet and grits, both of which were cooked to perfection. Our waitress was on point at every moment, and served us with a grace that would even charm I.J. Reilly. We will definitely be returning to this wonderful little spot. Don't forget to try the bacon bloody mary!

Great breakfast place, food very fresh, service awesome!! This was our second time to have breakfast here. Highly recommend, everything from, eggs, to amazing pancakes, to latte!! Great location just a block and a half off Canal!! We walked past several other places on our way to the cafe, and all those places had lines to get in, yet we walked right up and got a table and fantastic breakfast and coffee!! My daughter gave the pancakes the highest praise "freakin awesome" enjoy!!

Service here is hit or miss. Today it was pretty good. Eggs Benedict was delicious and these guys have a massive cappuccino to kickstart your morning! The guy in the back with the obnoxious whistle was a bit annoying but he finally stopped. As Mardi Gras gets near I'm sure the servers will get overwhelmed but that's expected during the crazy times here..

I loved this place!!! I ate the spinach and feta wrap and my mom had grits with eggs and biscuit and sausage!!! LOL my mom just said "the grits are really good and creamy" my server was the shit!!! I had a bomb ass strawberry Mimosa and she kept my glass full not to forget her coming and checking on us!!! Which means a lot so Jesse (The girl LOL) Thank You for serving is well!!! This restaurant is on my comeback list

This place is great. We arrived just before 9am and were seated immediately, but by the time we left around 10am there was a line out the door. Our waiter was knowledgeable, friendly, accommodating and the perfect amount of "chatty." He was really nice. The food is delicious - I had the pancakes and my friend had the shrimp and grits. It took about 30 minutes for the food to arrive, which is unusual for breakfast, but it wasn't a big deal as the ambiance is inviting and pleasant. Overall it was a great meal - food was amazing, service was spot-on, and it was a nice kick off to a fun day in NOLA.

This place is wonderful. Cozy with great food and service. I randomly decided to take my group here because the other reviews are great and when I saw a bacon Bloody Mary picture. I was sold. It's delicious and worth trying. The portions are huge and affordable. It's on the smaller side so if it's a big group you might have to wait a little but who cares you can walk around the area and check out the shops.

Excellent breakfast! The New Orleans Country Breakfast was enough to feed my husband and I with a couple extra eggs and hash browns. Grits were a little bland, but the Boudin, eggs, biscuit and hash browns were perfect! The atmosphere is light and fun and waitstaff all friendly.
(5)
Stephie Z.

My favorite breakfast spot in New Orleans. It helps that it is 1 block from my hotel. Best thing on the menu (out of the 3 I tried) was the shrimp and grits. It's not healthy, what with the oodles and caboodles of butter and cheese, but it does have a nice garlic shalloty flavor and you can tell the shrimp is fresh. We had great service one day, crap service the next. Oh well. *where did the tip button go? I would have much rather this been a tip than a review. Sorry y'all.

Teresa S.

This was another touristy must do spot to eat that was also packed and had a long line. The setup of this place was a bit different. You order your food first, pay for your individual meal which I loved and then grab a table. One of the servers informed us by the time we placed our order there would be tables for us and that was true. I was shocked because of how crowded the place was. I ordered the American special of eggs, bacon, grits and pancakes that was delicious. I tasted one of my friends chocolate pancakes which was different but a bit too much chocolate for breakfast in my opinion. This place really deserves 4 stars but their unpreparedness for a large crowd during a popular festival weekend warrants a deduction. They ran out of flatware and some of the juice and tea dispensers were empty. I informed staff and they sincerely apologized and stated they would get to it.They definitely needed more staff. The other thing I didnt like was that you waited in line in the middle of the restaurant and can be literally breathing on other patrons eating their food. Well that's how it felt and it was just too tight and the set up wasnt comfortable at all.

Sheree C.

My goodness! This good was amazing. I had the Big Easy which came with eggs your way, bacon, boudin sausage, grits or hash browns, toast or biscuits and pancakes. :-). Everything was flavorful and the staff was welcoming and friendly. I will be back. :-)

Seth J.

The food was edible, the servers polite. I will give them that. We arrived a bit after 2pm, the place was packed, but they had a table ready for us quickly. The menu selection looks good, and my fiancÃ©e says the mocha was good. I had a iced chocolate coffee. It was VERY watery. He ordered the eggs Benedict, the muffin was scorched, ham was overlooked, and hollandaise sauce was overpowered by the hot sauce they added. I had the big easy breakfast platter, which had pancakes, bacon, 2 eggs, sausage, hash browns, and toast. All of it was cold, the bacon was a bit chewy, sausage was meh, pancakes were pretty good, though not exceeding average. I had ordered provolone cheese on my hash browns, and it had melted into them (good) and then then congealed due to getting cold. As to the service, it wasn't much better. After being seated, it was several minutes before the waitress came by to greet us and get our order. After that, another several minutes before she came back with the drinks. The food probably took 20+ minutes to come out after the order was placed. The waitress did not come by at all in this time frame.

by far my favorite breakfast spot in New Orleans! service is always great and the food is too. my mom describes the pancakes as "the best I've ever had" and the peach mimosas are amazing! I also recommend the farmers omelette - delicious!

The food here is amazing! I had the shrimp and grits and it was by far the best I have ever had! Along with that, the bacon Bloody Mary was delicious! Every table was packed and the service stayed friendly and on point! This will be a place I return to for sure next time I'm in New Orleans!

Linda T.

This restaurant was great! I visited for breakfast and the shrimp and cheddar grits were very flavorful and filling. Located conveniently in the French Quarter close to Jackson square and it was packed for breakfast but I guess I arrived at a good time because I didn't have to wait. I'm coming back tomorrow to try another menu item!

Fleur de Lis omelette is outstanding. Full breakfast bar menu includes fruit flavored mimosas and bacon bloody Mary's. Great casual spot for a big, tasty breakfast.

Kelly M.

So good came two days in a row for breakfast/brunch. Day 1 there was 4 of us. We all ordered different items and it was overall satisfying. Shrimp and grits - the good = the grits are really good. The decent = the shrimp was good as it was cooked in a nice buttery garlic sauce. The bad = too much sauce for my liking poured all over the grits taking away fro their amazingness. The Big Easy - lots of yummy food for a great price. The pancakes are to die for. After taking a couple bite of these from my husbands I knew on day 2's visit I had to order my own pancakes. They are big and filling. The short stack was more than enough. I couldn't even finish it. I was so full. Mimosas are also good. 3 flavors to choose from. I liked the peach best. Another diner with us got and loved the seafood Benedict. While another got another one of the breakfast plates with boudin sausage and a flaky homemade biscuit. This place is a winner. Def check it out of in the area and in the mood for a good breakfast.

This place was great for breakfast with great service and delicious food. Hubby had pancakes with hash browns eggs and sausage with cafe late for drink he was very please (he is not easily impress with food and he was happy with everything so that's good for me) Kids had pancake with fresh fruit and French toast with fresh fruit which they also love for drinks they had chocolate milk and fresh squeeze OJ. For me Eggs Benedict with hash browns and a house coffee. Best hash browns I ever had will recommend anybody this place which by the way we found with the help of Yelp :)))

Travel B.

The best bread pudding in NOLA. I happen to be a bread pudding connoisseur (pronounced common sewer) and it's the best here. Also the best bloody marys, omelets and just about everything they have on the menu. Is that a crawfish in your bloody? Yes it is!
(4)
Lauren E.

The staff there is not very friendly. I got eggs Benedict which was covered in way too much hollandaise sauce. The sauce also had way too much cayenne pepper on it which made it unnecessarily spicy. The biscuits were salty. The only good part was the hash browns that came with the meal.

Peter B.

This place was right across from our hotel, the W so we kind of stumbled in. So glad we did. I had traditional eggs Benedict and they far beyond diner quality. The service is awesome. Will definitely go back when I return to NOLA.

Kristina B.

This place was excellent! Food was delicious, especially the Big Easy Breakfast. Some of the best pancakes I've had in a long time. Only give it a 4 star though because our waitress the first time we went was a bit of a crackhead. Otherwise everyone else has been nice whenever we've gone back.

Tressa S.

We stumbled across this place while walking through the French Quarter on Sunday morning. My Hand Grenade-induced hangover would not allow me to walk much further without risk of passing out, so once I saw this place, there was no hesitation. Add to the fact that the cafe serves shrimp and grits...I was sold. The service was great - the waitress was very attentive and asked where we were from (visiting from Boston but both native Southerners, so we already have a love affair with New Orleans). My boyfriend and I both ordered the shrimp and grits, which I accompanied with a sweet tea and he accompanied with a Bloody Mary. The meal was absolutely delicious and hit the spot. The grits were cheesy and creamy, and the shrimp were HUGE! The brown sauce they put on there added to the dish's delectability...yum! The price was also great - around $30 or so for two shrimp and grits as well as beverages. When we were brought the check, I found it a bit odd that there was "suggested" gratuity listed at the bottom. It wasn't added to the total but was there as more of a reminder. I tipped the waitress well as she was great, but I don't like the fact that the restaurant needed to give its diners recommendations on tips. Oh well, maybe they were tired of getting short changed from the groups of bachelor parties who had spent all of their $1 bills at the strip club the night before. In any case, I'll be sure to visit this place next time I'm in New Orleans. They had so many things on the menu at a great price that I'm eager to try!

Ahhhhhh New Orleans, so much to eat, so much to drink .... but not a lot of really don't think about breakfast that often, at least I don't when I am in the Big Easy. Loved tho splice, had the Famers Breakfast It think, sausage, grits, two eggs over easy ... wasn't stuffed, but was fulfilled and the food was good.

What's great about this little breakfast and lunch place is that the food is not greasy. That's an odd way to start a review, but this is New Orleans after all, where deep fat reigns supreme. I had an omelet with prosciutto and grilled asparagus tips, and even the hash browns were tasty and light. Great coffee, and the food is served on china with silverware, not paper plates and plastic forks as evidenced elsewhere for the same prices. Sweet waitresses too!
(4)
Katie W.

We ate here twice for breakfast during our stay in New Orleans. Its a busy place and the service is slow, so its not someplace to drop into for a quick bite if you have a schedule to keep. But the food is really good - we were all big fans of the farmers omelette and the strawberry pancakes!! Good coffee too.

Callie D.

Very friendly service. I ordered a cappuccino and the spinach and feta wrap. Both were excellent. Service got a little slow when the restaurant filled up, but I was in no hurry so that didn't bother me. I would definitely eat here again.

Amazing Eggs Florentine! And the hash browns are second to none! You would be crazy not to come here. Staff is very friendly and service is quick!

Cory B.

This place is just incredible, the ambience is totally chill when compared to a lot of the French Quarter and the food is awesome. The trick, according to the extremely nice girl that waited on me, is to get there on or before 8 in the morning as they start getting really busy around 9. As a person who really needs my caffeine, it was really cool that they also give you a to-go cup for your coffee. Highly recommend this place for anyone looking for a unique and tasty breakfast experience.

Karson L.

Let's talk about GREAT pancakes! This place is a must eat NOLA breakfast joint. Everything was delicious in this little twenty table restaurant just a few blocks off Canal Street in the French Quarter. The staff was very friendly, even offering water to guests as we waited in line for a table. This place is defiantly worth the twenty minute wait. On my two recent trips I have enjoyed the Big Easy Breakfast which was way too much food and included two eggs, sausage patties, bacon, hash browns, toast, and two pancakes. I also indulged in the Eggs Benedict on scratch-made biscuits. Both were excellent; but if you made me choose one I would go for the pancakes. Solution; go two days and try them both!

Marina C.

This place was perfect for my next day hang over meal. They have the best Hash Browns, perfectly greasy to soak up all the alcohol I consumed. The food took a little longer than I would have liked it to considering there was only one other table in the restaurant(25 minutes). I asked for a scramble and the chef didn't know what to do. ..so basically you order straight from the menu only. Nothing too special about this one.

M K.

My husband picked this spot for breakfast because it had good reviews and was a quick walk from our hotel. We weren't planning to have our socks blown off, just to refuel for the day. Holy mother- I ordered a bacon Bloody Mary (because vacation) and the Bayou Benedict: a biscuit topped with boudin, a poached egg, spicy hollandaise and ham. I'm usually not a member of the clean plate club, but I was that day. The food was so good we came back again and both ordered the Benedict. It's a winter special, so grab it while you can!

Tray R.

What a great little spot. The food was good, simple breakfast food but the service was spectacular! Ophelia was our waitress and she was so sweet and attentive even with a super busy place. All the servers seemed attentive. Our drinks were never empty and she even brought us full to go cups of tea without asking! Sometimes it's the little things. Great spot.

Maggie S.

Ok, so the grits were the best I had in NOLA, but NO GLOVES being used by cooks. I watched two men touch their shirts, dip hand in a sanitizer bucket, then use hands to put bacon and arrange pancakes in the window on plates. Just watch...you can see them back there clearly. I didn't eat my biscuit as I watched the guy handle it out of a warmer or microwave. Get your gloves on and you got a great thing going on. Waitress was nice and I tried the boudin sausage and I loved it with syrup!

Great pick for breakfast in New Orleans!! Friends had come here on the day of arrival while I was still in transit - loved it and had nothing but great things to say about the Shrimp & Grits, the delicious coffee and the Healthy Breakfast, too. (I know, I know) So a few days later, the three of us decided to check it out since service was prompt & delightful and also because the line out the door (during Essence Music Fest) was not quite as long as some other establishments on the same block. Our waitress was SO great about helping us customize our orders! See, I had fallen in love with so many of the pix on the Yelp mobile app that we all began craving items that were no longer on the menu. Good thing for us, they will make whatever your heart desires!! My Seafood Omelet was LOADED with Shrimp, Crawfish, Crabcake, veggies and cheese - amazingness to be precise! Had it alongside the hasbrowns with gravy on top but the biscuit on the side! Yes, you heard me right. Now let's talk about the mimosa - fresh squeezed OJ and champs, with a splash of peach flavor in a big ol' glass. They don't do anything small in this city apparently. You will leave here fealing fat & happy :) I highly recommend Cafe Fleur de Lis!

Very nice casual breakfast / lunch venue. There is a reason for the line. Great po-boy selection. Perfecty runny eggs benny.

I've eaten at this place several times lately and have to say it's a great place for breakfast and really wonderful place to get a lunch poboy! So here are my favorites. For breakfast get either the Fleur d Lis Omlet... Has crawfish and is GREAT! (Especially if you have a hangover. :-). My next favorite breakfast is the Big Easy... Pancakes, bacon, sausage, eggs toast... Perfect if you want a traditional breakfast like your grandma makes. For lunch try the Shrimp Poboy or if you're feeling adventurous try the Alligstor Sausage Poboy....really good. Also, don't forget the French fries, they are fresh cut!!!!! Can't go wrong with this place cher!

Food is delicious and largely portioned. There is sometimes a wait list but they are great at dealing with it by calling you when you're table is ready so you are able to wonder near by while you wait. Service was great.

Great combination of Super friendly service with a delicious breakfast! Enjoyed their signature omelet. I will go back to this place many more times in the future! Next time I will get the iced chocolate coffee and a Bloody Mary. Perfect place to go!

The Big Easy Breakfast did not disappoint! Light fluffy buttermilk pancakes, bacon and sausage (2 of each) plus hash Browns and toast. My husband and I split this as light eaters and we're well satisfied. Our server was friendly and prompt, and the coffee cup looked more like a bowl then a mug - no refill needed but offered along with a to go cup if desired. Our server was friendly and prompt making it easy to say we will be back!

Um, 5 stars and here's why: Customer service: promptly greeted, my party and I were told good morning by the cashier, a cook, and two busboys. Our waters were promptly filled and we were asked if we needed any additional condiments or silverware. Nice. Speed: Cashier was prompt. Food was brought out within 10 minutes. Portions: Is it a southern thing to have portions the size of your head?! My mom and I SHARED the Big Easy Entree for breakfast: eggs, bacon, 2 pieces of sausage, two pancakes (omg), hash browns, and two pieces of toast. Where they do that at?!!!!!! N'awlins! Holla. Food: The pancakes were the best I ever had. How in THE world do they get them so fluffy, light, and the perfect golden brown? Oh, and powdered sugar on top, too! The hash browns were perfectly seasoned, by the way. Prices: $10 for the Big Easy entree! Can't beat that price. Tourists, come hungry...leave full and satisfied.

Very cute & very New Orleans! I'm not a Bloody Mary person, but after having a sip of my boyfriend's, this place could persuade me to change my mind! He also had the Fleur De Lis omlette, which was out of this world! Two thumbs up! My eggs Benedict was divine, especially the house made biscuit! Fantastic coffee as well. I took off one star because our table was a little dirty and it's a bit crowded but overall as great place that I would highly recommend!

Oh what comedy there is to be found in a restaurant door that won't close by itself. I was endlessly amused watching the tables closest to the entrance fight with that door! Cue the hungry customers walking in and trying to figure out where they needed to go to get their names on the waiting list. They inevitably left the door open, and then one of the patrons closest to it would stand up and angrily close the door...just as the next customer and his party was walking in and the door was left open again. Haha good times. Yes it was chilly out, so I don't blame them for being upset. Fortunately, a solid breakfast rewarded them for their angst. The blueberry pancakes are mysteriously delicious. Is crisp fluffiness an oxymoron? If it is, then oxymoronic pancakes are what I like, and these were closest to an elusive stack of Ritz Carlton pancakes that rank as my best I've ever had. And this may start a war with my fav dining partner, but I liked these better than Clinton St. Baking Co. in NYC. Everything else was very good not great: tasty hash browns, just fine over easy eggs, and run of the mill sausage. I would call it high quality diner food, and all of it barely held together with service that was nice but easily overwhelmed by a large crowd. So for a FQ breakfast this is well worth it...just make sure you leave the door open to start a little drama!

Such a disappointment! After days of eating heavy, we wanted a light breakfast, so we ordered egg whites and a veggie omelette---that was cooked in BUTTER. It was disgusting and we could not eat it. We were so disappointed. There are so many other breakfast spots that are far superior. I recommend skipping this one!

Kate M.

I happened on the place when I was looking for lunch. (I should add I live here, so I was not staying at a hotel.). I ordered a bacon and blue cheese burger which came with either hash browns, fruit and some other option that I don't remember. I ordered the hash browns. When my food arrived, there were two very thin beef patties, cold bacon on top, and a little blue cheese. The burger was placed on some very greasy hash browns. I put napkins on the hash browns and they sucked up some of the grease. The bottom of the burger was inedible because of the grease the bottom of the bun had sucked up from the hash browns, and two thin patties....really? I think this is probably a great breakfast place, but I wouldn't recommend for lunch.

Mei L.

I had the the regular american breakfast. Why the 4 stars and not 3 stars like Ruby Slipper Cafe? The pancakes, they were absolutely delicious! It was buttery, crispy on the edge and so fluffy in the middle. I would definitely come back for the pancake! Everyone enjoyed the various breakfast food in my table, coffee was good and strong too.

I love spending time in the quarter when its peaceful, its like a whole different place than at night and reminds me of afternoons spent roaming through streets in Europe. Since breakfast is a perfect way to start a peaceful french quarter day, I've been searching for a good breakfast spot with some healthy eating options. Cafe Fleur De Lis hits the spot perfectly. I would recommend ordering the big easy breakfast or the healthy breakfast platter. The hash browns and pancakes are delicious so if your meal doesn't come with this, add it on the side. The ambience is laid back, yet has character. Sit by the window to people watch on Chatres Street.

We stopped here for a snack. They have a very nice ambience. We ordered a side of grits and pancakes. The grits were amazing! I really enjoyed the food here

Stopped here for breakfast recently and the food was damn good. I had a mango mimosa with breakfast and it was great, it didn't taste like they were using the cheapest champagne but something quality. My shrimp and grits were absolutely excellent, almost as good as NOLA. Service was a bit slow and the table and chairs are uncomfortable but the food makes up for it.

Laurie H.

Best breakfast ever! We ate at the hotel buffet and the quality and cost were horrible. Today we ventured out and tried Cafe Fluer and we were impressed. Quality food at a reasonable price. You have to try the biscuits, they are amazing! And so is the French toast. Super cute cafe with a true New Orleans feel. Would have given 5 starts but service was slow. Other than that a definite must try!!

Was famished, this place looked cute. DH, my toddler and I went in and were welcomed. I was looking forward to a latte and a panini. I had to take my daughter back to change her diaper. On the way back I noticed a lot of silverware lying around. Then we had to walk around a ladder to get to the ladies room. Where when I started to change her diaper, several cockroaches came to visit. Nope. Done. Cancelled order and left. If they are in the bathroom, they are everywhere. Gross.

Morning Burger (egg and hash browns on it) was super tasty. Service, and seating were quick even though they were very busy. A few locals mixed in so you know they aren't just serving tourist tastes. Many of the other meals looked good on other peoples tables, but I could only eat one.

Great shrimp and grits and good service. This hidden cafe in the middle of the FQ is a nice getaway from the chaos. Food is definitely reasonably priced and the quality is good.

I visited the CafÃ© Fleur De Lis several years ago. Alone in New Orleans, wandering the streets in the early morning hours, I chose the restaurant because it was cute, and having lived in Louisville, KY, the Fleur De Lis name seemed like a bit of home. It was a great decision! Despite the amount of time that has passed, I've never forgotten the Fleur de Lis omelet; it was so good. I'd jump at the chance to visit NOLA, again, just to be able to return to the cafÃ© for breakfast.

Lisa K.

Cute little restaurant, you come in and order your food at the counter, sit yourself at any open table and they bring out your food. I got the big easy breakfast, comes with 2 big pancakes, 2 sausage patties, 2 bacon strips, hash browns/grits, 2 eggs, and white/wheat toast. I am a small girl but can eat a lot, even my waitress laughed and said she was surprised I ate it all! Everything was tasty but I could do without the lifeless soft bacon! I like my bacon extra crispy :) Oh, and I ordered my eggs over medium and they were sadly overcooked, like a fried egg! 2nd visit, for a quick breakfast I got the cinnamon oatmeal with blueberries to go. Definitely not one of their best items, I would pass on it if I were you! Bleck.

Kaylan A.

This place was so warm and welcoming. It's easy to miss if you're not looking for it. The staff was wonderful and the service was great. The pancakes were the perfect blend of butter and fluffiness. The asparagus omelette was delicious, there was tad too much prosciutto in it for my taste, but still a must try! The drinks are strong, so if your into some delicious brunch and a little buzz, try this place.

Chrishelle C.

Awesome spot in the French Quarter. We had breakfast here and was quite satisfied. It is a quaint unassuming spot that takes a fresh approach to down home. The mellow jazz playing in the background allows you to reflect on (or forget) the prior 12+ hours of debauchery and prepare for a new day of adventure. My husbands Big Easy Breakfast was HUGE and pancakes were good. My shrimp and grits were pretty tasty. I love garlic so I would have preferred a bit more but all in all a great experience.

Jeannetta J.

This is the best place to eat breakfast if you are in the fq!! The omelettes are enough to make you want to kiss the cook!!!!!!!!! From the hash browns that they use garlic seasoning with down to the pancakes. This place isn't that big, and every time I come its filled. I will always come here for breakfast anytime im in the fq

Super disappointing. After standing in the rain to get in, the food was not good. My husband ordered the 2 egg breakfast with bacon and hashbrowns. There was one slice of bacon and the hash browns were bland and watery. I got the shrimp and grits. The shrimp had a really good flavor but the grits were really bland. I have to believe that the kitchen was having an off day because of all the positive reviews. However, based on our experience we won't be back.

I didn't eat my food because the woman who runs the cash register was touching money then touching our food. There's a reason I wash my hands before I eat and that totally canceled it out! I was nice to give three stars to this place. Bagels are small. It's not a bad idea to stay away from any place with a neon sign.

When I tell you my eyes rolled to the back of my head, just know it was in a very good way. This is my Mecca. Slap my fanny and call me quadroon cause I am home. Buttermilk pancakes as big as the plate, fluffy yet dense and moist, on another elemental plane. Hash browns, hash, bacon, omlette with seafood ettoufe. This was hands down the second best meals I ever had. And then there was the bloody Mary. It was Drake- The best I ever had. And no one looks at you funy at 9;30 am when you order unless you ask for a virgin. They top'em with pickled okra, olive, and green bean- like manna from heaven. Now I know why old ladies in Florida drink'em. Is 35 old cause I'm starting also. Now. Except I'm going to retire inNew Orleans.

Great place for brunch! The restaurant is a little small but the service is great and their mimosas and bloody Mary's were awesome. Definitely order the pancakes! I wish the grits were a little more interesting but overall the food and service was good.

Simply awful. Our friendly waitress recommended the benedict dishes, which are served atop their biscuits. My wife had the florentine, which she thought was not bad, but the hash browns got a single bite. I couldn't eat mine either. No crisp anywhere, and a strange buttery lemony flavor. Not good. I had the crab cake benedict, which was a disaster. The waitress said everything was super fresh and made to order. Our plates were out, I kid you not, in less than two minutes. The poached eggs were room temperature and overcooked, and the crab was cold, and way, way too salty. I had one bite and scraped it aside. I then moved my biscuit away from the too heavy hollandaise, and just ended up eating the miserable poached eggs. At $7 per egg, I was disappointed.

Sue T.

The kind maitre d' greeted me at the door and found me a seat at one of the few tables in this small cafÃ©. It was so small that he had to use my table for pitchers of water and tubs of dishes as he cleared other tables. But he was really nice about it. I recommend the Fleur-de-lis omelet--green peppers, onion, provolone and bits of sausage, covered with a mildly spicy red sauce and crawfish. This came with wholegrain toast and fried hash browns. The bloody Marys with bacon-infused vodka and full strips of bacon swizzle sticks looked amazing--it was just too early for me to indulge.

Bill W.

The eggs Benedict on homemade biscuit was very good. However, their less than accommodating behavior toward a service animal will prevent me from returning. Plus I watched how they try to seat older people to less desirable tables. On the bright side our server Jessica was awesome!!! So ask for Jessie's girl and she will take care of your breakfast needs. Ps Jessie is a local and gives great tips on where to go and what to see while in the big easy.

Natalie C.

Visited this place again cause I loved it so much the first time and it didn't disappoint. I ordered the same big easy as I had before and regretted once I saw my friend's French Toast.. It was sooooo good!! Even though I enjoyed my food I wish I would have order that instead!! Wish I can find a place in Dallas that serves French toast like that!!!! You won't regret it!!
(4)
Brian R.

Excellent breakfast. The boudin sausage was great, as were the grits and the biscuit was amazing. My wife had the Seafood Benedict of which I had a bite and it was amazing! Service was great. If you are here for a few days, Try this place, Jimmy J's and Cafe at the Square. All great. To address other reviews: Yes it's small and cramped, but you go there for the food. Get over it. It's New Orleans.
(4)
Rebecca S.

Best breakfast I had in New Orleans. I got their pancakes which were amazing and tried grits here for the first time. Of all the grits I tasted over the course of my trip these were the best. It's not a particularly fancy place and it is cluttered but that said for what it is- its great. Prices are very fair and the food is solid.

Gloria H.

Glad I bookmarked this place. Just blocks from the hotel, it was a nice easy walk to get some good breakfast. Go straight toward the register to place your order - DO NOT sit down or ask anyone in your party to grab a table, that's a no-no and you'll be asked to move. Their policy on the table is first come first serve so no table unless you have a order number. The menu is right above the register and to the left. If I am not mistaken, there's one person working on the grill for everyone's meals - kudos for turning the orders around so quickly! The line may look long because everyone in the parties are standing around but it moves relatively fast so know what to order when it's your turn. We ordered the Big Easy Breakfast and 2 small coffee and the order was plenty for the two of us. It has everything - pancakes, toasts, eggs, bacon, sausage and your choice of grits or hash brown. We opted for the hash brown. The eggs (over easy) were perfectly cooked. The hash brown was delicious. The stars to us were the sausage patties and the pancakes - YUM! It was such a good experience that we returned for our last breakfast in NOLA before heading to the airport.

Jessie M.

A small and quaint little breakfast/lunch diner. My friend and I actually stumbled in after getting lost trying to find another cafe. We started off with two huge cups of coffee and a cute little pitcher of cream. He got the Fleur De Lis omelet, and said it was the best one he'd ever had. It had kind of a seafood twist to it that made it unique. I got the basic two egg platter, but it was still amazing right down to the toast and hash browns (which I usually hate). Overall it was a great little place to start the day and the waiter was really friendly and suggestive. I recommend!

Thought we were in the wrong place based on the pictures posted on Yelp. It no longer has a walk up and order counter. Now you seat yourself and get your order taken. Again with the cooks standing outside the restaurant smoking and on their phones. As we were being seated, one cook walked in from outside while putting on his "sanitary" gloves. No hand washing... just gloves being put on with dirty hands to dirty hands. Am I the only person that cares about hygiene and that is concerned about disease? We had to eat here because the kiddos were antsy and starving. The French toast was good. Pancakes were good. Absolutely nothing special about this place, though. Basic breakfast place with very poor hygiene.

My fiance and I came here yesterday morning before going to Jazzfest. We wandered around looking at places on the western end of The Quarter for a place to grab some breakfast until we decided to come back here. This place might deceive someone who thinks that a 'pretty' little place like this won't fill them up with all this is right and good about breakfast but you're in the French Quarter, you should know better! Elaine had the prosciutto and asparagus omelette, I had the shrimp and grits. The shrimp and grits were better than the shrimp and grits we had the night before at The World Famous Oyster Bar-and those were very good! At first it looked like there were only three or four shrimp but there were at least six. Warm, creamy happiness with perfectly spiced shrimp. If I were a cat, I would have been purring. The omelette was as loaded with goodies and came with a side of hash browns. It was delicious. Then there were the drinks. The mimosa was a very good size. Not the little dainty drinks that most places serve, The Bloody Mary was also a good size and both were very good and very potent. So good we each got one to go! We both loved this little gem. It has the whole package...good food, good portions, good service and great ambiance. If we lived there, it would be somewhere we would frequent on a regular basis. I think that sums it up best!

LOVED the shrimp and grits-- and I am a Northerner. The biscuits were light and buttery yummy. Beware of the crowds in the morning, they have text wait system. But the hostess told me I would receive two texts and the wait would be 20 minutes. After 40 and no text, I returned and was told I was taken off, she was argumentative and even when I showed her my phone she insisted I missed my table. I did get seated--- make sure to check back if you are waiting long. Also we ended up a table near the open doors and my food was cold before I was finished. The waitress laughed and said, "Oh well".

....and I am being generous with that 1 star! Second day in NOLA, we wanted to try another breakfast place beside MENA's Palace (4 stars). We were staying at the W Hotel and one of the workers there suggested this place. You go up to the counter to order your food. Hubby and I decided we will share the Crawfish etouffee omelette. While waiting at least 15mins for our food we watched delivery guys going in and out of this place hauling stuff in. The highly raved omelette finally arrived. I took the first bite and it was COLD in the middle! What? Really? The hubby took it back to let them know that our food was cold. Not to make a big deal about it he even asked to just have it nuked in the microwave (I would've asked for a new one). 5mins past, then 15min, then 20mins!!! We patiently waited thinking that they felt bad and was going to make us a new one. Some lovely guy (NOT!) dropped our plate on our table. My husband and i stared at each other in disbelief! They gave us the same dish back sans our toast that we left on the plate. Horrible, horrible, experience! If you wanna have a nice breakfast walk a little further down the road to Mena's Palace. You won't be disappointed.

best breakfast for an affordable price! during Mardi Gras season they offer king cake french toast (a bit too sweet sounding for us but it's charming addition). The standard egg, pancake, bacon breakfast was under $20 for two folks. Seems to be a hidden treasure with the highest ratings on google for the lowest amount of food. good location, but be careful where you lock your bikes up as folks live in the adjoining homes and don't appreciate your bike blocking their front door. wheelchair accessible bathroom and location.

Lara P.

Have the French toast or the fleur de lis omelette! Both are de-lis-cious! We went in twice- the first day, the service and the food were AMAZING! The second day, our server told us that they did not serve decaf coffee- which we had the day before... other than that, all stars though.

Patricia M.

We had an appointment at noon but needed to get a snack for our kids to tide them over. We let Noah, our waiter, know that we were in a hurry. He rushed the order and brought the check at the same time. While cutting up their fried shrimp, I couldn't resist taking a bite. Oh my goodness, the shrimp may well have been the best shrimp I've ever had. I wasn't keen on the batter so I give 4 not 5 stars. :)

Brad S.

Clean, bright nice decor, and not loud, all the things I like. Service was excellent and so was the food. Priced just right. Had the Seafood Benedict for $12.95. Only complaint would be the menu seemed a little limited. But maybe that's why the food was good. Would definitely come back.

Justin K.

Great breakfast food and fantastic friendly service. We tried to go grab breakfast at Cafe Soule but they stopped serving breakfast early. The waiter at Cafe Soule was kind enough to recommend Fleur-De-Lis for a late breakfast, and we couldn't have enjoyed his recommendation more. The food at Cafe Fleur-De-Lis was fresh and delicious. It had just the right amount of New Orleans style seasoning without being overly Cajun. In fact, other than the hash browns the food was very close to what you would get in an authentic New York Diner. The Hash browns were crispy with a hint of spice, the eggs were fresh and not over cooked and the coffee and cappuccino drinks were perfectly made. Our waitress was friendly, funny and new the menu without having to think about it. She poured some of my fiancÃ©s Cappuccino on herself, and even though she was burned and there was barley more than two drops missing from the drink, she quickly returned to the bar to make a fresh one. I would highly recommend this place to anyone in the French Quarter looking for a great and not overpriced breakfast.

We found this place by accident and we were so glad we did. Employees were very friendly from the moment we opened the door. We did have about a 30 min wait, but it was worth it. They text you when your table is ready, so we got to browse the nearby shops while we waited. Service was top notch. Zero complaints about the breakfast. It was plenty of food - the biscuits were awesome and everything cooked perfectly. Loved every bite! The coffee was also good and the server kept my cup full. When we left, she offered to give me a coffee to go...big bonus in my book. The only negative was the size of the place was very small - it was a little hard to get in and out of our table...people at the table beside us had to move so we could get out of our table. Would not keep me from going back though!

Tricia S.

I'm from New York City so I'm used to omelets and oatmeal for breakfast and that's not an easy thing to find in New Orleans. I can't even fathom eating fish for breakfast. I found Cafe Fleur de Lis and saw that it had a normal menu so I figured I'd try it out. I called to find out if the oatmeal was made with milk or water and the person who answered the phone had no idea and was completely thrown for a loop. When I got there I asked if I could get the farmers omelet with egg whites and my waitress had no idea (it turns out you can). My omelet wasn't' bad, but wasn't amazing. The person I was dining with ordered the pancakes and you have a choice of a few things that you can get with them, so he chose bananas. Again, the server had no idea what he was talking about when he ordered the pancakes with bananas. Then when they came to the table she held them up and examined the plate because she thought that they had made them and forgotten the bananas (they didn't). Also, the pancakes were alright, not great. I wouldn't go back here. If you're in the area go to the Camellia Grill down the street. It's so much better.
