    This place is normally right up my alley. Unique, wine bar, with original food and a romantic atmosphere. However, it was super smokey and the wine list was disappointing. I may have high expectations after just going tasting last weekend in Sonoma; but for wines by the glass it was pretty grim. I didn't even finish my glass of white. I ordered the crab cakes; and I wished for something a bit more substantial; they were creative. I would like to try this place again and see if it does a better job the second time around.

    Not much that I can add... Great atmosphere for drinking wine, and lounging back with friends. Great chef specials (seriously, and yes, they do have food, not just alcohol) OK appetizers (I didn't really care for the pate, or the frites)

    Cute little place right on St. Charles Ave. Great spot to meet friends for a glass of wine. We did order a cheese plate and it was pretty pricey for what we got. There is some outdoor seating, which is great when the weather is nice. The only negative about the patio, is the fact that it is "fenced" in by a bunch of barricades. If I were meeting friends out, I wouldn't suggest it, but if a friend asked me to meet there, I would definitely join them.

    Lisa was our bartender and was excellent. Knowledgeable and we had some of the pomme frites, french fries for you all with that yummy garlicky sauce. It was excellent! The bar has extensive menu with excellent menu if you have the munchies, a cheese plate that is great. Beer, wine, liquor, you name it---they seem to have it along with any other beer you havent tried. Parking is offstreet, be careful at night. Give a try.

    Good food. Slow service. Not the friendliest bartenders - in fact they were downright rude. Would not go back.

  • Chelsea M.

    Still incredible. I don't EVER eat french fries, for example I can be in a car full of hot and "fresh" french fries from McDonalds while they are consumer by others (classy I know) and I still do not want them. Yet, I FREAKIN crave Delachaise's fries. I am pretty positive that they add some sort of addictive chemical to them, maybe it's the goosefat they fry them in. And their cheese? Amazing. This bar will always have my vote. Lately, they've had a nice bartender, Thierry, from France. I think I am in love because he knows his cocktail.

    The Delachaise is one of my favorite bars in the entire world. It's not the most impressive wine bar - the list is short-ish - but I always take the bartender's word on what I should be drinking and they have never been wrong. Moreover, the cocktails are dynamite. They might have the best sazerac I've ever tasted, and I have had a sazerac everywhere. The food - especially the duck fat fries - is always delicious. The bartenders are always super friendly. The interior is perfect for dates to small/medium sized groups - intimate, a little dark, clean lines, albeit a bit smoky (welcome to NOLA!). It's right on the streetcar line and a short walk from some Magazine Street craziness, if you crave something different as the night goes on. In short, NOLA has a wealth of bars but this is my favorite one, so you should love it too.

    I used to adore Delachaise back when I lived nearer to Uptown. it definitely had the potential to be one of my more favored bars in New Orleans, but I haven't been there lately. Anyway, to put it succinctly this is more like a junior wine bar than a fully stock OMG WINE!!! bar. It does also offer a nice array of beers for you manly men out there who refuse to touch wine (look, I know you exist!). There's also a nice selection of appetizers or full on meals to accompany your various adult beverages. I've only had some of the sampler platter, vegan options are sparse, but my friends who've ordered the other items have all been quite pleased. The venue itself is an elongated shape - shotgun style, perhaps? There are tables, seats, bar stools etc. kind of just shoved wherever they would fit - very limited is what I'm trying to say. As per usual, a very dimly lit establishment - possibly a nice date destination as it's usually not incredibly rowdy in here. I very much like Delachaise because it feels like it's a happening bar, without it being actually ramped up and happenin' - if you know what I mean. It's been the location of many nice evenings with friends - just chatting away, drinking wine, and chillaxing. This isn't the cheapest place, can be a little moderately pricey, but you pay for the ambiance and food and alcohol selection, I suppose.

    If you are looking for customer service look else where. The bar tender and bar backs are extremely rude. I refuse to go back. Last night was my third time there and I wanted to give it another chance. I will say it is consistent.... Consistent in that the bar tenders are not friendly, helpful or even happy to be working there.

    Delachaise is a sure thing if you are looking for a talkative crowd. The intimate quarters make it feel busy every evening and at $25 for a bottle of the house wine, you can talk for quite awhile at a reasonable cost. The quaint patio gives you a chance to watch the streetcars on St. Charles pass by and experience the crisp night air. The food has great presentation, but be prepared to wait for it. The crowd has the appearance of a Tulane book club, but where else would an intellectual crowd hang out if not at a wine bar. A wonderful experience overall.

  • Jill W.

    This reminds of the bars and cafes where I used to go when I was living in Europe. I love this place. Great atmosphere, great food, great selection of alcohol. I have special memories here, including a first date. Before, the smoking used to throw me off (I don't mind smoking, but it was toooo much), now it's nonsmoking. Great place. Last I remember it doesn't open until five, unless that changed.

    New Orleans is like no other place in the country and is incapable of producing cookie-cutter restaurants. Delachaise is no exception. Rumor has it, the sous-chef here was just rated the best in NOLA in "Where Y'at." This is a spot I have been dying to try for quite some time and is now easily accessible on the St. Charles Streetcar line. Came here with about 10 people for my sister's 21st birthday and it was perfect for our size. We took over the round corner window and moved a few tables together. The venue does not have a waitstaff so you have to order everything at the bar. Could be a huge downfall if you're expecting a normal dinner setting, so this is important to know. I will add that the employees to bussed the food were extremely knowledgable, helpful and thoughful in making sure everyone had a taste of the shared dishes. The wine list is extensive and well-priced. I guess wine knowledge is much like the wine itself: improves with age. As the eldest of the group I chose a 2005 Malbec and Viognier for the table, since the tastes of my fresh-faced 21-year-old companions often do not extend past Franzia. We split all the dishes which included the Chef's Cheese Platter, 2 orders of Pommes Frites with a side of tomato aoili to start. We then devoured two orders of Crab Cakes topped with wasabi caviar. (Absolutely exquisite) and Beefy Bruscetta, which knocked the socks off everyone at the table. The meal was the completed with chicken and pork chop topped with a fritter-dirty rice. We wined and dined in candelight, laughing and celebrating. If you are looking for a a low-key, mouth orgasming experience outside the French Quarter, get on the streetcar and geaux to Delachaise!

    My sister brought me here over Christmas break - she loves this place and comes here a few times a week! I really loved the cozy cute interior, the great (cheap!) house red wine, and the duck fat fries. She raves about the cheese plate - I will have to be back to try that at a later date! If I lived in the area I'd probably come here nearly as often as she does.

    Delachaise is a great place to hang out with friends for drinks. I love to sit on St. Charles Avenue and have drinks and appetizers. I was super excited when they decided to make the place non-smoking. The drinks here are great, they are never skimpy on the liquor, there are always specials on bottles of wine and they have a large selection to choose from. Then there are great things to eat too. I will start with the pommes frites, these are the best fries in NOLA. They are fried in goose fat for cryin out loud!!! They come with two great dipping sauces and they are hard to stop eating. Then there is the cheese board, it's always a different selection of cheeses, and you can get 2, 3 or 4 different ones on the board. It usually comes with some apples, nuts and maybe some hone on the plate, and the baguette. Mmmmmm. My one complaint, they need to do something about the smell of sewerage that plagues the place. I'm sure it's due to the fact that it probably has mega old plumbing, but the smell from the bathroom fills the place now that there is no smoking. Think they need to invest in a plumber. Besides this little problem, I need to be going back soon!

    This is the place that started the hip wine/cocktail bar with amazing food boite trend that has (happily) blanketed a swathe of New Orleans over the last few years. Stronger on wine than their mimics, Delachaise may still be the coolest of this category (higher quotient of hipsters to yuppies and very few older folks), nesteled in a rail car like space that occupies a little isthmus of a block on Saint Charles. Much of the food is delicious, including smoked salmon johnny cakes and the grilled cheese Anabella. Also, I've heard moans of eye rolling pleasure over the flank steak bruschetta. The cheeses available are great, though the portions are pretty skimpy (not a phrase I make often..I don't like monsterous servings of food).There are plenty of dishes that qualify as genuine "dinner" entree's if you wish to take a not-so'tapas journey, but be warned: the tables are pretty small and often uncertain of their footing..this is still more bar than eatery. Finally, I am always pleased with what is playing on the ipod...and if you are hammered, the streetcar is right outside.

    After reading the others reviews, I completely understand. If you want to check it out, definitely go during non-peak hours and simply enjoy the ambiance, the friendly/knowledgable staff, and the tasty food. Going for a drink before going elsewhere would be fun as well. Looking for an intimate setting with your boo, this would work. Going out for a bachelorette party, no way. Not everyone is going to walk away happy.

    Leave your passport at home and hop onto a barstool at Delachaise for the satisfying pseudo-Euro drinking experience Uptown relishes. The staff here know their clientele and service the throngs and masses better than most. Pair that with the crazy inventory of delectable alcohols and stumble out sated.

  • Leah O.

    Great atmosphere both inside the bar and on the patio. There is a great 50's vibe inside. We sat on the patio and watched the streetcars go by. Drink prices are average. Based on some reviews I expected the staff to be rude but fortunately that was not the case.

    I had a creme brulee here that may have been my favorite ever. The whiskey selection is pretty solid.

  • Kelly M.

    I've gone here a few times over the past couple of months, and actually primarily for the food, not for drinks. I've gotten the cheese plate a couple of times, which is always good. I got their grilled cheese--most definitely the BEST I have ever had because they use I think 3 different kinds of delicious fine cheeses (though I don't remember which ones). French fries fried in duck fat. Delicious. The other customers always always a bit stuffy and kind of unpleasant to be around, but the food & service is solid.

  • D M.

    One of the best collective selections of beer, wine and liquor I've come across in Louisiana. They have a relatively small food menu, but most of it is worth the price. The cheese plate is usually my go-to, but if they have a good special running (especially the steak) I'll get that plus a nice rye whiskey you can't get at most bars in Nola .

    i am writing this review pretty much on ambiance only as i met someone there for some wine and that was about it. i didn't try the food and i didn't get a chance to try what looked like a decent bourbon menu (next time, because i would like to try this place out with a different sort of intent in mind). When i got there about 7:30 it was quiet with people spread out at the tables outside and inside and some at the bar. it was nice to be able to sit and have a conversation in a building that I've been driving by since i moved to nola. i was very happy to see that i felt pretty instantly like i was walking into an old northern style Italian restaurant... something about the place felt less fashionable and more comfortably worn than they may be going for, but i liked that. the bench seats were comfortable and the high ceilings helped to make what would be an otherwise ridiculously narrow space feel big. i could see sitting down here to eat at the round table in the window with a few friends and a glass of bourbon, or even reading a book in one of the corner bench seats by the door where we sat. but i would very much have to do this before the crowd of 20 somethings and early 30's dropped by around 9 and the place got HOPPIN. and by hoppin i mean loud and crowded. i didn't even try to get up and go to the bar again or to squeeze through the bar area to get to the bathroom, it was packed, wall to wall. it got to the point that i could no longer hear barely anything my company was telling me and so we decided to leave. so lesson to myself... go early around dinner noshin time and bolt before the popular crowd comes in. also, they had no table service when we were there... I'm not certain if that's a regular thing as the sign was paper with magic marker writing on it and i barely just noticed it as i was looking over the wine menu (which seemed to be extensive in my quick perusal). Everything had to be ordered at the bar, which was easy whenever it was just a smattering of people, but when the crown came in it was nigh impossible. and i noticed that there were several areas where boxes of booze were just sitting stacked. I'm not sure if they had just gotten inventory in or not, but they didn't seem interested in moving any of the boxes while i was there. overall I'd like to give this place another try sometime... see if it can impress me more, like i said, i really dug the ambiance in the beginning.

    Thank you Yelp for this find! Delachiase is responsible for the single most delicious edible during our six day stay in New Orleans; the apricot Riesling Creme Brulee. Absolutely amazing. We stuck with the specials of the evening and I would recommend that strategy to anyone. We got the chef's cheese plate, followed by Prosciutto wrapped prawns over a super tasty polenta. Then we hit the desert menu; the apricot Riesling Creme Brulee practically drove us insane with its deliciousness, and after a conversation with the Chef, he brought out the second desert, black rice sitting in a soup of Tahitian vanilla coconut milk & cantaloupe juice/soup. Oh so good. The drink menu was extensive. We stuck to the wine for the most part. Part of me wishes they had a greater selection of wines by the glass, but part of me enjoyed having only one glass of each wine type. It simplifies things. If you've never been to Delachaise and are thinking of going.... just go.

    There's nothing like checking in on Foursquare and getting the "Lookin' for Love" badge when you first try a place. It's like one of the brochures Emma Pillsbury has on "Glee" -- "So the bar you just walked into is a singles bar". I looked at my husband and he just shrugged. We looked over the huge blackboards over and around the bar before deciding on two beers. I went to the bar and ordered. They were out of both beers. Isn't that the point of blackboard menus? That they're easy to keep up to date? The bartender suggested the Blanche De Chambly instead of the wit. I hesitated because that was my husband's beer order, so the bartender said "It's Canadian." To which I replied, "Yes, Unibroue." He seemed shocked that I knew the brewery. We got the Chambly and a Chimay White plus an appetizer. I tried to order a second round, but we decided we didn't want to give them any more money and just asked for the check.

    I went here for a few glasses of wine and didn't get to try the food. I was somewhat disappointed in the wine list. With that being said I am somewhat biased and/or spoiled because I live in a city where wine is taken very seriously. For New Orleans, the list was somewhat good. The first glass of wine I ordered (Tempranillo) was bad and I sent it back. Wanting something a little lighter I ordered the Pinot Noir, and didn't love it. However, the staff was very friendly and service was great. If I'm in New Orleans and looking for a nice place to hang out I will go back.

    A welcome refuge from the madness of Mardi Gras... After making my first visit to New Orleans this past February for Mardi Gras, Delachaise was a stand-out among the dozen-or-so watering holes we visited. If I lived in New Orleans, I'd probably be a regular. Granted we visited ~10:30pm on a Saturday; I'm not sure if this place brands itself as a restaurant or bar, though it definitely felt the latter on this particular visit. Fine by us. Chill, but not too chill. I found myself energized by the crowd and ambiance; rather than tiring and craving bed as some quieter wine bars sometimes do. Good variety of drinks. Friendly, if slightly slow bartenders (but, okay, this is New Orleans--everything felt a bit slower than what I'm used to on the coasts). Comfortable booth seating. Oh, and good bar food -- props for keeping the kitchen open late, and even offering some healthy selections! Though the cheese plate took forever, we also shared a fresh vegetable plate w/ muhamara (sp?), something I seldom see offered at bars... Bottom line: like it.

    I don't like the crowd at this place. It's best described as lowbrow yuppie. There also seemed to be some awkward OK Cupid meetups going on when I visited. Also tipsy secretaries. Gross. They have a good selection of wine, beer and liquor, but their menu leaves a lot to be desired. The pate is tough, bland and does not appear to have been made on the premises. When I visited with my sister one busy Thursday night, she ordered the Salad Nicoise, only to be told the salad was "out." When she asked what specific ingredients the kitchen was out of (i.e. eggs, tuna, etc.), they said: "Everything." Very unhelpful. My sister then requested a simple green salad with some of the flank steak from the steak bruschetta appetizer on top. Even though this was a simple request, the bartender/server refused, offering no reason as to why they could not fulfill this request. The bar itself was a bit dirty, and the men's room smell kept wafting through the restaurant. I will not be returning.

    Amazing food. If you want a hip, chill place for great food and drink this is the spot! Order @ the bar and don't expect to get fawned over with service but you will lick your plate and get every pennies worth. Best fries in town (warning no ketchup though) and the shrimp Clemenceau is great! Open late. Outdoor seating lunch late in the week

    I feel like I should like this place more than I do. Yeah, it's a wine bar, yeah, they serve tapas, and yeah, it's datey as hell, but I have a problem with places where I have to walk a bartender through the steps of certain classic cocktails (read: if you cannot make an old fashioned, you should not tend bar). Anyway, this place will persist in popularity, I'll get brought there with big groups/dates, and I'll just pay the $5 for a beer next time, saving all of us the embarrassment.

  • Melissa R.

    Food and wine was great, but the service was terrible. It was a Monday night and there were several empty tables. They gave me a dirty wine glass, but it happens I guess. At times, there were 3 people behind bar where you order food and wine. Most of the time they were just standing in the corner talking to each other. One bartender who was just rude and made the whole experience awful. There are a lot of great places to eat in New Orleans so don't waste your time.

  • Cindy C.

    The atmosphere & food are great. ... But the seating arrangements leave much to be desired. It was difficult for 3 of us to talk. Our food came out sporadically. The 2 shrimp dishes came out, then about 5 minutes later a grilled cheese came out, then out came our tomato soup for dessert--we thought we would get this before our main courses. Huge wine selection. We like these types of out of the way places. If they can fix the meal delivery problems, I'd give them 4 stars; 5 if they work on seating. They have an outdoor patio but you have to contend with smokers.

    For those wanting a very cool atmosphere to enjoy quality wines, beers and liquors, then this is the place you should go. The menu is also very good and the cheese list is to die for! Best time to get there is around 7 before it gets too crowded and enjoy a glass of wine and order up some food. A great place to meet your friends or to take your date. My favorite wine bar in NOLA.

    so i find myself on a late-night prowl for harry connick jr. stumbled into delachaise for a breather. this place is great for late nite drinks and fromage! btw-- they make a perfect sazerac, and the bottle of wine complemented our cheese selection nicely. wow, such great energy and hospitality. sadly, no harry connick jr. OR brangelina. boohoo. waiter-- i'll DEFINITELY have more cheese with my whine.

  • Anne M.

    Excellent wine selection, and beer. Love this place for later night food when you weren't planning on going out for a nice meal and didn't have reservations. Tough for a group but a couple or a three is reasonable. Had the specials on the menu last night, the gazpacho was good (nothing spectacular), the crawfish mac and cheese was not our favorite- alot of lemon flavor with cheese just dent taste quite right, but the pork vindaloo was awesome- and the plantains were a great accompaniment!

  • Wendy K.

    If you've read my other reviews, you know that I'm not one to full out hate someplace, or give vague reasons why I don't like something. SO...I do not hate The Delachaise, but I do have several specific reasons why I did not have a good experience there. 1. It is small and not well equipped to being a restaurant, staff-wise. 2. There was smoking allowed indoors, and no ventilation. 3. We had to literally argue with another party to get a table outside, when we had been waiting for over an hour. *4. The service. If you're interested in hearing about the service, please read below. We sat down at our table (finally) and had to go up to the bar to order food - there was a waiter, but it looked like he was just there to deliver the meals. And talk on his phone. Our food finally came! Yay! It was 10:00 or so, and we were all really hungry. So, anyway, our food came. No - wait - everyone else's food came and my stomach continued to growl. I waited for about ten minutes before going up to the bar to inquire about my missing grilled cheese sandwich, and when I did, bartender A told me he'd check on it. I stood there watching him not check on it for ten more minutes, before asking the other bartender. I was told by bartender B, that because so many people order the grilled cheese, the oven was backed up. "It'll be out in a few minutes." Mmm Hmm... So I waited for another fifteen minutes and went back in again. Me: "Hi, I still haven't gotten my sandwich." Bartender B: "You still haven't gotten it? Hang on..." When he came back, he told me that it was on it's way out. I was almost in tears at this point I was so hungry and frustrated (I know, silly, but true) and said that I thought it made sense if the sandwich was on the house. He had no idea what I was talking about, and asked me if I had changed my mind about the sandwich. "No, I still want it - the rest of my table has already had their food for over a half and hour. I think it should be free." I went back outside and waited for an addition ten minutes, before going in again with my fightin' words ready to go. Still no sandwich, but bartender B went and found it (piping hot) in the kitchen and gave it to me. I settled my tab at the bar with bartender A, who had no problem taking my sandwich off the bill, and everything was - ehem - fiinnne after that. Not the end of the world, but I expect better from people who earn their wages in tips and work six feet from the place where the food is cooked. The wine was good - I had the Malbec, and people I was with had beers and scotches, all of which seemed to satisfy them. Alcohol is definitely this place's forte - they should probably leave the restaurant business to people who know what they're doing.

    Delachaise is a bar to check out if you want a nice atmosphere and good food and drink. I was actually quite pleased with the wine selection. It may not be super extensive but it covers most commonly-liked variatals, and they have a much greater selection than other bars in the area. For those non-wine drinkers, there is also a good selection of beer and liquor. For food, I tried the frogs legs which were not bad. Well flavored but a little pricey ($10 for 4 legs). Good place for a date night. Bartenders were friendly and attentive. Worth the trip.

  • Joi B.

    This may come as a shock to anyone who knows me, but... I'm somewhat of a wino. That's right. I said "wino." Not "Oenophile." Listen, I know barely anything about wine except for the usual feeling of "I want some now." I don't sip. I've been known to gulp. The idea of using a spittoon after "tasting" is a hilarious concept to me. If it's red and it's dry, it's usually good enough (that's actually no longer true, sadly). I do know that I love me some dry Italian reds and that Shiraz is too sweet for me. Luckily for me, Delachaise has a fair amount of Italian reds by the bottle and a perfectly drinkable Chianti by the glass (not everyone loves an Italian red, it's true). So, a few things. I think I'd prefer this place on a quieter night, as I was here on an extremely busy Friday and it's not the kind of place that I, personally, want to be in when crowded. I mean, wine drinking is a pretty civilized activity, best done while speaking in dulcet tones, perched on the edge of dark velvet lounges--not shrieking across a table at my companions. Delachaise is quite perfect to this end, with its low lighting and loungy seating in the front and back (I love the front window area!). The bar is long, very long, lending itself well to the long, narrow structure. I just can't get behind the whole packed, two person-deep at the bar thing. And you have to order your food at the bar (they do bring it out to you). Again, I totally would be down to do this anytime when it's easy to do so.That said, the food we ordered was astonishingly delicious, especially the eggplant cannolis!! The cheese platter is also quite incredible (you can pick or leave it up to them. We did the latter which was the best idea for sure). I suppose I should be glad that you order at the bar, for this made me order far less wine that I would have normally. Yep. Had a server been back to check on us, I guarantee we all would have had at least 2 more glasses each. I fully expect to increase my star rating when I return on a less busy night.

    Delachaise is my one of my favorite spots. It has a chill, relaxed ambiance. My friends and I go here quite often for a casual night of drinks. There's a wide selection for all you wine connoisseurs. Not only do they offer great wine, but the food here is tasty, too. I can't keep away from their fries! I love that you can build together your own plate of cheese. Brie and goat cheese for the win!!!The Johnny Cakes, mussels, and steak are hits as well.

  • Tiffany B.

    Delachaise deserves a 4 or 5 star rating for the atmosphere, beverage selection, and a select few of the food menu items (goose-fat fries, grilled cheese - to name a few) BUT because of the terribly rude service that I have experienced time and time again, I am rating it 2 stars. The (bald, accent) bartender/order taker/server is consistently miserable and ignores customers. I hope that this establishment decides to take action on this, as the reviews say it all. There are far superior happy hour bars in NOLA to spend my time & money.

    I love bars and restaurants with a view of the street. I can't explain why, other than I like to sit and watch people and things. Delachaise is a bar where you can do just that. On a recent night out in the city, a friend suggested this bar. I have passed it numerous times wondering how it was, so I was glad to finally check it out. We sat at the bar and ordered some $5 red. After a little while at the bar, we moved outside. While I really enjoyed the patio area, I think my drinking companion preferred the bar. The outside area has a great view of St. Charles Ave and the convenience store next door. All kinds of characters go in and out of the convenience store which makes for interesting viewing. At one point we though a robbery may have been going down, but it ended up just being a figment of our imagination. I did enjoy this bar and will gladly return later. Maybe next time I can try the food and write a more thorough review update.

    The atmosphere is perfect here. The food is great and the endless list of alcoholic choices is great. Big complaint here is that the service is consistently terrible. It's almost as if the servers think you should be so grateful to be graced with their presence. Constantly having to wait 15+ minutes to order a drink and rude table side service. However, because of the atmosphere and menu, I keep going back.

    What a great Thursday! My boyfriend and I went here for the Dining Out for Life HIV prevention event in New Orleans. Delachaise was one of the establishments that agreed to donate 25% of all profits to HIV/AIDS organizations. We got there pretty early, around 5:30 PM and it was just starting up. We stopped by the bar and looked over the great $25 bottle specials offered that night and ended up on a sparkling rose. We also drooled over the cute little cheese clipboard as we marked off our four selections: a french blue, a "funky" goat cheese, an interesting cheddar with mustard seeds and ale, and one other goat cheese. We then took our wine in its nice silver ice bucket and proceeded outside to sit and talk while we gazed on St. Charles and people watched and listened to the big old streetcars amble by loaded with tourists heading to and from downtown. Our cheese selections came out on a smart slate cheeseboard. They were accompanied by a toasted baguette sliced in perfect thin pieces, some spiced walnuts, and some apple sliced just so. The cheese portions were acceptable, but, definitely on the smaller side of what was expected. But, it was a great plate nonetheless. As we ate our cheese and drank our bubbles the clouds rolled in as they do every afternoon during NOLA summers and we darted inside as it began to rain. Now inside in the great little porch like front seating area we decided since it was rainy outside we would prolong our stay get more wine and more food and just enjoy. We ordered a carmenere, steak bruschetta, and some goose fat fries. Everything was so delicious. The steak was cooked rare and was tender and easy to bite which can be a problem with bruschetta and was delicious with the herb spread on the crusty french bread. The fries were also amazing, super crisp with nice flaky sea salt on them. They came with garlic mayo and a asian inspired peanut sauce both of which I enjoyed very much. Overall this was the PERFECT wine bar experience and I cannot wait to go back. Great for a nice casual date full of conversation, delicious food, and of course tasty wine.

    My favorite wine bar because of its extensive selection, outdoor seating and romantic setting and most of all the late hours of operation. Plus very reasonable prices makes it a winner in my book.

    Definitely one of my top five places to get a glass and eat later in the evening after work. The flank steak bruschetta is INSANE! Just have some mouth wash or gum in you're on a date for after. A bit garlic/pesto amazingness that likes to hang on a while.

    Great place to hang out and catch up with friends. Very cozy tight fitting inside, but outside is a little more roomy and nice when the weather permits. Good wine selection. Good cheese selection to go with that wine. If you want some bites to share you must get an order of the fries fried in goose fat served with 2 fancy sauces, one of which is not ketchup...I know, right? It gets crazy. I've had other dishes and all were pleasantly good! I would recommend Delachaise for happy hour, pre-dinner or after dinner drinks.

    My wife really enjoys this spot, and I think it's good, too. But not really great. First things first, though: the selection! Other than the superb location along Saint Charles Ave, the selection of alcohol and interesting foods has to be Delachaise's most redeeming quality. My wife and I have had small plates, appetizers, and even a steak and fries there. All were very tasty. My wife likes to experiment with her drinks to a certain extent, and Delachaise doesn't disappoint. If you like an upscale crowd, this is your place. Polo shirts literally everywhere (even on the staff) and more short skirts and dresses than you can find anywhere else other than Bourbon or a beach wedding (per square foot). This is a place where people come to see and be seen. You can pretty much tell as soon as you walk in the door. If you walk in with your own sense of style - especially if it's trendy - you will (at least briefly) receive all eyes. So "dress to impress" is my suggestion. The bar itself is surrounded by windows, but the lights are kept especially low at night. Look for the "christmas" lights along the eaves and railings when approaching from the street. The biggest drawback to this place, I think, is the method of service. There is, technically, table service. But it's not the usual sort. You have to jostle (literally) other patrons at the bar or guess which line of people (on a busy night) is going to move you to the bar first. You only order food standing at the bar, then you get to fight against everyone else in the place for a table. One of the two times were there, my wife and I got literally the worst (and last) table out on the porch. I kept getting bumped by people going by - and I was trying my best to stay out of the way (I'm 5-10, 180, usually not big enough to be in anybody's way). If they would add a hostess stand and normal table service (at least on their busy nights) this place would be among the best in town. But until they do, you should be prepared to get elbowed out of the way by some thick-headed brute in a poorly chosen polo shirt at least 50% of the time you try to place an order for anything ... which of course, must be done at the bar.

    Somehow until recently I have never actually eaten here- which makes me realize I have been missing out! I like the vibe this place gives off and I never fail to have a great time catching up with friends. Started off with a nice wine and a cheese place- was not disappointed! The mussels were also very good and quite a large portion, definitely enough for a meal. I had a special - I can't quite remember the name, but it was gnocchi. And oh my it was delicious! Served with a red sauce and some slow cooked pork goodness. If this is being offered again, I highly recommend!

    It is a bar, but has nice seating areas indoors and in the patio, and serves full-size entrees until 2AM! A great place for a late night dinner date. Indoor dining areas can be too noisy, but outdoor seating facing St. Charles can be quite nice depending on the weather. Cuban twice-cooked pork (moderately priced) was one of the best dishes I had in NOLA. Highly recommended. But note that it is a bar, and all the orders and payments are taken at the bar. Although servers bring food to your table, there is little table-side service, which may actually be a good thing too.

    Delachaise is exactly what I want out of a wine bar - plus more. The wine selection is good here, but it's nice that a full bar services the venue. I've been here for the occasional glass of wine, but the best time was a Gin and Tonic sort of an evening, making for an interesting night in a dream-like atmosphere. I think Delachaise sets the mood for a laid back, slightly romantic evening. Not in the sense that it's the best date spot in town (although it's in the running), but that being on the patio along St. Charles while the sun is going down almost makes one feel like they are buzzed amongst Tinkerbell's stopping grounds (which to me, sounds pretty magical). The service is excellent. My bartenders have always been friendly and generous, giving suggestions, charging reasonable amounts, and ensuring that the guests are entertained and satisfied. The food is also delicious - even the fries. This will continue to be a place that I habit on relaxing evenings in my neighborhood.

    Great food, amazing drinks, nice bartenders, but the music and crowd absolutely blooooooows. Dumb upper 20's/early 30's lawyer types trying to avoid the ridiculously over dressed, wedding ring chasing bobble heads to the soundtrack of Jimmy Eat World and Matisyahu. Luckily, if you go with a large enough group of chainsmokers, you can take over the outdoor patio.

    I've always been a fan of Delachaise. It's a cozy little nook. Best variety cheese plate in the city IMO. Great parings and the specialty waiters actually know what they're talking about with the cheese delivery. I've been several times and ordered different types of cheese. I'm not a "stinky" cheese fan but have a girlfriend that is, she ordered an "extra stinky" cheese plate. Meh... My preference is the milder flavored creamy ones and the waiters are happy to help you choose. Love the small plates, steak is a fave. Pomme frittes are excellent. Some people love their grilled cheese sandwiches. They're okay. Seating can be a challenge, especially with groups but standing really isn't a problem. Service has always been good, even when busy. Sometimes it's hard to get waited on at the bar if you're 2 or 3 people deep, but if you cozy up to a seated guest, they usually help you out. Outdoor seating is nice in cool weather or they have umbrellas to keep you from melting in the heat, otherwise stay inside. Parking is in the street, may have to walk a few blocks on a busy night. Guys, be a hero, drop her off at the door if she's wearing heels... thankkksss

    Delachaise is one of the more interesting venues to visit Uptown. It has been doing the same thing all of the new "Gastropubs" were doing years before anybody decided to call a bar serving semi-fancy food that silly name. The food is generally a bit pricey and ranges from average to very excellent with frequently changing items. They also offer several cheese plate selections that are very nice quality. The food seems to be more of a French Bistro style than what has been done at the other "Gastropub" incarnations. They unfortunately don't offer Abita Amber but they generally do have some very good wine and some German beers that will satisfy me. The charm and curse of this place is the long and narrow architecture of the building that limits seating and allows it to easily get crowded. The bathroom situation really doesn't do well with crowds. Service can be slow when the bar is crowded and if I can't get a seat at the bar I just go elsewhere as I'm not waiting that long. The crowd is variable and some nights it is great and other nights I have no clue what alien planet landed their ship outside the bar and let their refugees out. It is certainly a good place to hang out if you can get I seat and I prefer the less crowded times.

  • Jen L.

    Delachaise has good food (although don't expect a full meal if you're a big eater) and a great selection of wines by the glass. They also have good selections of hard liquors...except last time I went, they couldn't find bottles for the first 2 bourbons I requested. And Mr. Euro bartender was tres annoyed with me. Whatever. But they stay at 4 stars for becoming non-smoking last year. Honestly I had stopped going after the time I came out smelling like I had rolled in an ashtray.

    It isn't a dive. And it ain't a speakeasy. This bar is a more romantic variety, which is always nice. Who doesn't need a bit of romance in their life? What goes better together than romance and drinking? :) It isn't lowly and depraved, you see, because it is bathed in the nostalgic glow of a a Parisian "bar au vin" except that one finds this little alcove on St. Charles Avenue with the Street car passing by in the window. Midnight in Paris, move over because La Delachaise is the sort of NOLA bar where stories happen, classy stories, people!, where random encounters turn into lifelong friends and persistent lovers, where your dreams become a slightly twisted version of their original Disneyesque intentions, enabled by the lubricant of peaty 12 year old scotch. The interior decor is somewhere between French cafe and boxcar, and with a bit of light and a bit of class, and the grand avenue with the grand southern mansions just outside, an altogether winning combination, and all in all a real swell place to have a drink. If you want to get drunk, and you want it to be lovely, and do not give a $&%$ how much it is gonna cost you, or if you want to find a corner table with dim lighting, and shift your friendship into romance, La Delachaise is alright. You feel kinda embarrassed even bringing up the issue of price when talking about an establishment as soulful as this one. I mean the rent along St. C can't be cheap, and you want, need DLC to survive, now don't you? Cuz Columns down the block has already been invaded by the devil. Maybe DLC has been invaded too. But when I asked what kind of scotch I should order, it stimulated a conversation all along the bar, barmen joining in to offer the last word. You see, they have a heck'of a collection. If you come alone, don't worry, because with a bit of effort, you'll make friends easily enough. The patrons and the waitstaff are friendly although the latter is occasionally out-gunned, overrun by the natives, and by the tourists who seem to trickle in from the nearby hotels... sigh. Last time we were there, we got real friendly with some group who had come in to NOLA from Austin to give their buddy a big send off before le marriage. Speaking of French, they have a great winelist. Besides, La Delachaise is an institution, a refuge from the storm for any uptown Mardi Gras, parade when this little beautiful box of a bar seems even more like Heaven. One of the most romantic bars in NOLA . . . idn't it? Plus, their French fries and other delices are awesome (although slightly over price). Location, location, location. You are paying for that and the vibe, but at LA DLC it is kinda worth it?

    I'm from out of town, and this place was within walking distance from the hotel. My family and I went on a Sunday night, there was plenty of seating at the bar, but we sat outside on the patio. It was really a nice atmosphere. There was a large wine/beer selection. I would good back next time I'm in town.

    Stopped at Delachaise while on a cross country road trip with my younger cousin. The food and the atmosphere was great. I'd describe Delachaise as being comfortably cosmopolitan and the emphasis is on really good food.

  • Ashley A.

    Let me preface this review by explaining that I'm a local bartender who is extremely particular about the establishments I spend my time in. I've been working in the service industry in N.O. for ten years. I frequent the Delachaise about once every two months. The reason for this is because you cannot enjoy yourself there without spending a bit of money. One glass of wine (just ask for the House whatever...they'll give you the best one because they don't want their choice to reflect badly) runs about 7-9 dollars. A small plate is about 13 and of course you'll need two or three to accompany your two or three glasses of wine. Your bill will easily hit 80 or more buckaroos. It's COMPLETELY WORTH IT. I come to Delachaise to have their salmon johnnycakes. Literally the best thing I've ever eaten in New Orleans. The goose fat pomme frites annoy me....because they're amazeballs!! I dream about them at night. I dip out of parties on St. Charles because Delachaise is close by and I can get pomme frites. The peanut sauce?!?!?! STOP IT. The grilled cheese? Ridiculously rich and crispy--dipped in the tomato soup it's truly truly excellent. I have never, ever had a bad food experience. A word on the bartenders. Yes, they tend to be *annoyed* that you're there. But probably because your making them stand there and listen while you ask which Californian Cab pairs best with your steak bruschetta. B*TCH just pick a wine. It all goes down the same. These bartenders don't have time to hold your hand and wipe your butt, and if they do, they don't care to. This isn't some touristy quarter bar that specializes in Sazaracs. This is the kind of bar where you yell over the heads of people to the bartender "give me a bottle of dry Savingon Blanc and two glasses--here's my card!" My advice to patrons is to KNOW WHAT YOU WANT when they come to take your order. Give them your entire order at once! Pay for everything up front with cash and tip them GOOD. Your food will come out perfect and fast and if you need anything later, they'll remember you. In fact, I hope more people DON'T go to Delachaise...it's crowded enough already and I love it so much I want to keep it all for myself. I hope the bartenders weed out annoying patrons who feel like they need one-on-one baby time.

    Mussels in broth happens to be something that I feel I MUST get if it's on a menu at a well-acclaimed restaurant. Usually the broth is crack. I have experienced this and written about my mussel-broth-crack addiction in two previous reviews, and I was looking for a fix. Delachaise provided me with the opportunity and I took it, guns a blazing, tiny mussel fork in hand, waiting to suck down some serious shellfish and broth crack. WELL, their broth was so sodium-laden I could not get through it. It actually got caught in my throat when I tried to use the bread to soak it up (one of my favorite pastimes). Ouch. This makes me sad. Overall, the experience is ok-- everyone raves about the fries, they're fries-- you know? Tasty fries. The prices are pretty extravagant for the lack of friendly service and the fighting over tables you have to do. I'm just extra judgey because I didn't get my fix and you know how the jones' make ya bitchy. Thus, mussels, I'm looking for you elsewhere... may your broth be salty but not to the point where I feel like I'm going to shrivel up like a snail.

    I had no idea I'd not reviewed the Delachaise. It is one of my favorite places to hang out both with friends and alone. I have spent many a Saturday afternoon having a glass of Chianti, reading a good book, and listening to the hiss and pop of the streetcars wobbling down the Avenue. I have also spent many an evening having a lovely converstaion with a great friend or friends. The wine selection by the glass is pretty good, by the bottle better. The food is very interesting and very tasty. My favorite menu items are the cheese plate, flank steak bruschetta, frog legs, and pomme frites. I can't say I'm a big fan of the eggplant cannolis which sound better than they taste nor of the mussels which are overpowered by too much citrus and what I seem to remember was lemongrass. And I will say that lately I find the dishes not executed as well as they used to be. Of course, that could just be the New Orleanian in me--nothing is as good as it used to be. Regardless, it is still one of my go to places.

    Wow a true gem! Luckily our first night in Nola we were staying at the Hubbard Mansion (check my profile to see my review!) across the street. I found Delachaise through the Nola Eater 38. Our first night in town we decided to start things off with a little cheese plate and some wine. I love the ambiance of this place. Unfortunately the weather wasn't quite warm enough to sit outside, but looks like the little seating area there would be lovely and a nice night. We got a cozy spot though inside and ordered some delicious glasses of wine. We enjoyed ourselves so much, that we ended up staying here for a couple hours even though our intention was to just do a stop in before heading to Frenchman street. We couldn't tear ourselves away though, just soaking up the scene and some delightful Basque wine. The reason why I am giving this 4 stars and not 5, is because I wasn't blown away by the cheese. We may be partially to blame for that, perhaps we just didn't order correctly, but we only really loved one cheese. Although the hot bread it came with was wonderful. Well worth a stop if you are in the area, and if you are not, worth going out of your way!

    Delachaise, oh I fucking love you. I love your little quaint decor. I love your selection of cheeses. I love you wine list, your booze, your everything. If you came with a penis, I'd marry you. Cozy spot with a great menu. Everything on the menu is good. This place does tend to get busy. I don't blame them, the prices are very reasonable. Come in seat your fucking self and order at the bar... They give you a table number.. Your food comes out. Service gets busy but they know wtf they are doing. There's also plenty of pretty people here.

    Delicious fries, though a bit salty. Loved the dipping sauce. I had the best ham and Brie sandwich EVER, it had arugula stuffed in the middle of it which made for a nice crunchy taste. Thought it was kinda weird that you had to order at the bar ... I got water so of course there were no refills, though I suppose I could have gone up to the bar for one. Wasn't sure how much to tip either since they bring you the food and that's about it. Big selection of beer and wine though we didn't drink that night, too.

    I've been to Delachaise on a few different occasions. I've been with J to enjoy a quiet outdoor dinner, we've been for a late night snack and drinks and I've been just for cocktails. Every time I'm here I have a great time. There's nothing amazing about this place but also nothing terrible. It's super close to J's house so that's why we visit so often. The staff is generally a little stuck up and rude so you'll have to get past that if you care to visit. I wish they were a little more helpful when it comes to suggesting drinks since they have such a large selection, oh well! During my first visit I tried the Pommes Frites (fried in goose fat) and yes I'm a vegetarian but all the reviews talked about them so I felt like I was missing out on something. They were delicious but I could feel my arteries clogging while I ate them. It's a nice splurge every once in awhile. We've also tried the Eggplant Cannolis (Grilled Eggplant with Piped in Ricotta, Chevre, Herbs, & served w/ Muhammara) and they were delicious. I normally get the Grilled Cheese Anabella (asiago pressato, fiore sardo & our house made apple butter on semolina) because it's really the only main course that a veggie can eat. The food is generally good but definitely over priced. Being able to walk down St. Charles a few blocks and enjoying a beer with J is well worth it and we'll definitely be back.

    This is mainly a wine place but the Goat can drink his vodka here and they make very good vodka drinks. They don't have good Vegan food here and everything is covered or fried in goose or duck fat or cheese plates. Very many kind and wholesome good looking women seem to frequent this place and Goat is sure they would appreciate more wholesome good Vegan options to make their hearts happy and blood pressure low and avoid all the obese diabetic unhealthy diet of too much unhealthy food eaten in mass quantities. Be happy like the Goat and have wine and vodka but watch out for the food that isn't the Vegan feast! Two girls got very drunk and spilled their champagne on the Goat here and teased him about not wanting to share their cheese or goose fries. The Goat does NOT do the Goose Step!!!

    This is the wine bar which you wish was just around the corner from where you lived. The Delachaise was packed on a Friday night as you might expect but the service and food was swiftly served and worth talking about. The special of the night was the duck plate....yum yum yum. And the goose fat fries are worth contracting your arteries for. The wine and beer list is impressive and reasonable. I will be returning.

  • Molly B.

    I LOVE the vibe of this place and always take out of town guests here. It's so cute and convenient for bar hopping/touring the city. They always have specials on their glasses of wine which is a bonus. Their fries are fried in goose fat and now I don't want fries any other way. I'm not a very good vegetarian... It comes with some sort of malt vinegar aioli that I want to smother myself in. Eeek TMI.

  • Torea T.

    I must say I'm a fan of any place that can whip up a proper cocktail. My favorite cocktails are the Aviation, Grand Gimlet, Sazerac, etc etc(you get the point). They also have an excellent beer and wine selection. There are usually really good $5 wine specials on the board too. It can get quite busy in the evening but I've never had a major issue finding a seat at the bar. Feel free to go solo, with a date, or friends. There's definitely enough seating options available, bar, banquets, booth, and an outdoor patio. Now on to the best part...FOOD! Don't expect typical bar food here. The chef at Delachaise has worked diligently to plan a great menu with interesting special. I love their Pomme Frittes because they are fried in Goose Fat! The frog legs, smoked salmon johnny cakes, and cheese plate(many choices) are equally delicious!! This is by far one of my favorite places to eat, drink, and unwind. The interior is now smoke-free, so that's another reason to love Delachaise.

  • Sarah S.

    Absolutely WORST service I have ever had a restaurant. After waiting for about an hour for the last member of our party to get her food, she asked the waiter to check on it. He looked at our tickets and said everything would have been made together, so we must not have gotten it. In response, the member of our group told him if her food hadn't been made to just not make it, to which the waiter responds "thanks". No apology whatsoever for my friend not getting her food. The waiter comes back out a few minutes later and said that what she ordered had been made and brought out, and he looks at another member of our party who ordered the same thing and says, "he ate your food". At this point, our whole party is livid, and the member of our party goes into the bar to figure it out and it turns out the bartender never put in his food order. The restaurant messed up, and made no acknowledgement of this mess up, nor offered any condolence or solutions to the problem. The group left angry and one of us left hungry from not getting dinner. And to comment on the food, the fries were good and the grilled cheese was not.

  • J B.

    Indeed, my wallet weeps when I hit up the Delachaise but it is always totally worth it. A few industry foodie-friends raved about this wine bar and I was always convinced that it wouldn't be for me, when we arrived I was convinced. Whether outside on the patio, chatting up the bartender at the bar or having an intimate conversation in the U-shaped street-car replica seating beneath the Christmas lights, I secretly ponder if I started paying rent would just let me live there in the beautiful atmosphere? They have a fantastic wine list, if you know anything about wine but they also have a great selection of cocktails, mixed drinks and beers to make any sort of drinker happy. And the FOOD... the frog legs call to me! I crave them on the regular.. And ahem, to guarantee a good time... try the "Black Bubbles" (Shinglebock). It will not disappoint :)

  • Matthew H.

    Really good food with an excellent wine and solid beer selection make for a break from the normal. The best food options are the pate du jour, the flank steak bruschetta and of course the duck fat fries. They also have really good daily specials. The wine list really is the star here, with choices from all over the globe accommodating any size of wallet. An eclectic beer selection and full bar are available for the non vinophiles. The only complaint I have here is that it often is really crowded, making seating difficult with not much space to wait. Also, be advised, there is no table service - you order everything at the bar and they bring it to you. I like this personally, as you can take your time, and it makes for fewer people occupying the aforementioned lack of space.

    Classy. Cute stand alone intimate restaurant. Outdoor seating with romantic string lights hung up. What I like about this restaurant: great wine selection scrawled across hanging chalk boards, kitchen is open late, and the bar food comes in smaller portions (which I love) and it's, like, "fine" bar food. This was the first place I've ever eaten frog legs which were lightly battered and fried and I thoroughly enjoyed them! Sometimes it's a bit hard to get a seat which is a bummer. Not the end of the world, though.

  • Betty N.

    As a Cali girl I will tell you STRAIGHT-UP it's NOT truly a "wine bar". Wine list was weak sauce. Food-wise? It can do better. A true "wine bar" would offer real Spanish tapas, preferably for under $16 if it's seafood. A bit on the pricey side. Ended up with grilled cheese sandwich and a martini. The sandwich was good, but $8. Really? At a wine bar? Come on. And the martini was so-so. Again, if you are looking for a genuine "wine bar", go elsewhere. If you want a late-night option near uptown, this may be it.

    Great selection of wine & booze. Delicious food. Fantastic bar-tending eye candy. (I'm looking at you Christopher). I personally like to visit early to mid-week, because it can become an uptown cougar den on the weekends - nothing wrong with that, just not my vibe.

    Only one thing I have to say about this place : Pomme Frittes! Fried in duck fat and served with two different sauces : Peanut asian inspired sauce is my favorite. I know its a $8 but believe me its worth it. * Note: You have to order @ bar. They will deliver to your table. Also, if you are with a big group don't expect to be served at the same time.

    I went to Delachaise last night to have a drink with an acquaintance of mine. One drink turned into three, and by the end of the evening we were old friends. I had heard so many great things about this place, and I have to say that they were all right. An intimate setting with a long bar, couple of small booths and low lighting make this a wonderful place for getting to know new friends or catching up with old ones. I arrived at about 6:30. There were a few people there, but not many. That didn't last. It didn't get overly packed, but I was surprised at how busy they got as the night went on. It was a Monday night, after all. Being a wine bar, I though it only fitting that I ordered wine. I'm a fan of the reds; especially Cabernet Sauvignon. While there was only one on the menu, it was pretty good. My friend and I split the Flank Steak Bruschetta: grilled marinated flank steak, peruvian garlic sauce & shaved aged manchego on ciabatta crostini. It was DELICIOUS! I highly recommend it. After eating we ordered a few more drinks. I had a French 75, with cognac, of course. It was superb. It was the 2nd best French 75 I have ever had. It was so great, I ordered another. This time from a different bartender. Unfortunately, this second bartender did not make it the same way. It was okay, but I would definitely make sure to get that first bartender to make them when I go back. Another reason to like this place: There are menus of liquors like tequila and bourbon (the good stuff) written out on chalk boards above the bar. The only problem was the service was a little slow. They were very nice, and it's not that they were completely ignoring us; they were just kind of slow. It seems they could benefit from having just one more person behind the bar during their busier times. But I will definitely be going back. I just have to try their bourbon, tequila and those amazingly fragrant duckfat fries.

    The matzo ball soup sold me on this place as i had gotten soaked to the bone out in the rain all day. Hoping a delicious warm bowl of matzo ball goodness would warm my insides and help me not to get sick (it is Jewish medicine after all). After a somewhat in appropriately long wait for my soup to arrive (hence gettin knocked down a star) it finally came. A giant ball o matzo in the middle surrounded by plenty of carrot and chicken breast chunks arrived. The ratio of ball to carrot to chicken was perfect and the broth was flavorful without being too salty as sometimes it can be. Savoring every delicious bite, it warmed me, healed me, and was The Best bowl of matzo ball soup I've ever had. This soup special should be a permanent fixture on the menu and executive chef RJ Tsarov be given an award by Jews everywhere for the magical soup all our Jewish mothers and grandmothers dream about making.

    A friend of mine wanted to catch up and recommended we go here. It was my first time and I was impressed. The place is a little tight but they offer outdoor seating. We came on a Wednesday night and the place was packed. Loves how they have all the items displayed on a black chalkboard. They also serve food, albite a very limited menu. Will come again soon!

    We spotted this place from the streetcar as we were passing by and later went back. I had their grilled cheese; my girlfriend had the Shrimp Clemencau. Both were superb. Nothing is ordinary here! I am a big grilled cheese fan and it's so hard to find good kind. This was amazing. The only setback was they didn't serve our food together so we had to wait a little bit for the other plate. Outdoor seating is great too!

    I've been a frequent diner/drinker at Delachaise since 2008 and have always enjoyed my experiences and have always brought lots of friends from out of town there. The last 2 times I've been, the experiences have been less than pleasant. The first instance was a particularly surly food runner who told my friend, after she politely said hello to him and that we had ordered a lot of food (the fry baskets were crowding table) and that he could take some of the empty items, that he "didn't really care much" and snatched the items off the table. Strike one.. Strike two came a week or so later when my husband and I went around 10:45 on a Thursday to order takeout and get a drink while we waited. There was a good crowd of people but we quickly got a place at the bar, ordered our food and our drinks for the wait. We ordered fries, a grilled cheese sandwich, and a meat sandwich that I forget the name of. Nothing too crazy and we see food coming out of the kitchen left and right. 20 minutes passes, then 30 minutes passes. Finally as the bartender is serving a new person next to us we see a look of acknowledgement that we are still standing at the bar. She walks to the kitchen, nothing is said to us, and then walks back to the register prints out a ticket and goes back to the kitchen. At this point we've realized that she forgot to put the order in but she says nothing to us and stays at the other end of the bar. We've now been waiting for 45 minutes. Another bartenders comes by and I tell him that we've been waiting for 45 minutes and ask if the kitchen is that busy. He says it is but that he'll check on the food. He comes back and says that it'll be another 10 minutes for the grilled cheese because they use a lot of cheese and have to put it in the broiler and it takes a really long time. Okay, but other items on the menu that take a really long time have that notated on the menu and I've gotten a grilled cheese 10 times before and it has never taken that long. In the mean time my husband swears that the female bartender is telling the male bartender that she forgot to put our order in, but he's not a lip reader so that's not confirmed. The worst part is that we paid for our food when we paid for our drinks so we waited 20 more minutes and miraculously the food appeared. The kicker.. They bring out 3 boxes with no bag. My husband asks if we can get a bag to carry our 2 sandwiches and fries to the car over an hour after we ordered them and the guy says. We ran our of bags! When we got home and I opened my box expecting a thick Theo's style grilled cheese, I was met with a grilled cheese with minimal cheese that had been cooked so long it was hard. Strike 3. Delachaise, we will be taking a long, long break from each other.

    While on a weekend jaunt in NOLA I was staying around the corner from this place and popped in on the recommend of a friend. Good thing I did. Great place, the adult beverage menu is EXTENSIVE, the food was REALLY good especially the steak and the offerings diverse which is a real surprise for bar food . The vibe was reminiscent of Williamsburg. The only down side to this place is you have seat yourself and its mucho packed so if you are travelling with a big group like I was then give up hope of being seated together and take the every-man for himself approach. NOTE: This is a bar not a restaurant so if you go in there with this frame of mind you will appreciate its offerings.. OH and one more thing.. THE FRIES... good god almighty, I think its fried with voodoo potatoes it was so good. I missed it when I got home...sigh!

    Wine Bar. Great atmosphere. I actually went here 2 nights in a row. The plates are well presented, even if the service was a little slow. Had the Pate du Jour (pork & shiitake mushroom) which was served with pickled onions and green tomatoes. How different from gherkins! But still excellent. Then had the Mussels in a Thai broth with the duck fat fries. The fries were very tasty, but barely detected a difference between that and another high quality oil. The mussels were a different flavor profile then what I'm used to with shellfish (either buttery OR tomato based). Good heat and a clean flavor. I saw 2 cheese plates go by and will definitely be trying those. There is indoor and outdoor seating. This is a perfect date-nite place to go. I will be going back and my goal is to try everything on the menu!

    I always enjoy myself at Delachaise. It's great for happy hour, post-dinner, first dates, second dates and any night of the week. One of my favorite things about this little wine bar is the $5 house wines. They always have a red, white, rose and sometimes a sparkling. It's normally a pretty decent wine for a great deal. Food is also delicious. Extensive cheese selection. The goat cheese they offer with honey drizzled over the top is hands-down my favorite (Note: I was corrected by a Delachaise employee that this cheese is not on the menu; perhaps it is something I remember from years past.) Their spiced pecans are also quite yummy. Another great thing to try is the Flank Steak Bruschetta and their gourmet grilled cheese. Everything is fried in goose fat. Fantastic! A few new things about Delachaise in the past few months is Free Wi-Fi, lunch available during the weekends and here's the best thing: They've gone SMOKE-FREE!

    I've never reviewed Delachaise? Really? Totally thought I did. Well then, let's fix that... Okay, so I'm going to sound like a hypocrite/asshole/douchebag for saying this, and apologies to the many people who I'm about to offend, but Delachaise is one of those places that I really really like, except for the crowd. Not crowd as in it's always packed, but as in, I like the space, I like to go, but I'm not a huge fan of the people who go there. Ridiculous? Perhaps. Still true, though. My favorite thing about Delachaise is their round the world wine special, or whatever it's called. Every day they feature a different wine -- one red and one white -- and for $5 you can get a little decanter thingy (which is the same thing as ordering a glass of wine, but more fancypants to get it in a tiny decanter, like you would in Europe). It's always, always good when I order it, to the point that I never even bother to look at their (extensive to the point it's mind boggling) menu of wines, beers, and booze.

  • Erin V.

    This wine bar has a very nice atmosphere and a large selection of drinks but that's pretty much it. The bartenders are very rude and not helpful, especially the European man who is always here. There is such a large selection of drinks and beers it would be nice if they could offer a specialty or some assistance. Otherwise I just order what I always do at any other bar... There are like 5 beers on tap so it is mainly for people who like wine and liquor. But they don't do shots which is wierd for a liquor bar.... That said with the atmosphere and really cute patio area with white lights and great location, I do go there for a drink but just wish the service was better and not so snobby.. very rare in New Orleans. The bathrooms are also really gross with the door not even closing properly and falling off its hinges!

    I LOVE DELACHAISE! Been here numerous times and this is my first Yelp Review for it. What I love most are the selections of wines, beers, mixed drinks that they offer, cheese plates, and of course the small plates of food!! Recently, we discovered that they carry our favorite Japanese White ALe: Hitachino!!! Yes, You must try this beer! So crisp and fragrant! Overall, Yes I'm a Fan!

    Sweet, sweet, sweet mother of God. Not only is the food good, the drink priced right, and the selection fantastic, but my god in heaven! The service! Any of these fools on here that say anything (ANYTHING!) about the poor service obviously has never seen Josh Hall in action. Don't know Josh Hall? Not my problem; you my friend, are missing out. To high-five Josh Hall is like high-fiving sunshine (without the 3rd degree burns). Every time I go there it's like that time I went to Seaworld and got a blowjob from Shamu. No joke (and long story). Go to Delachaise and give Josh and friends all your money. And quit bitching about no table service you baby; this is New Orleans, and you're obviously an asshole.

  • Heidi S.

    Perfect lighting in this fancy dive. Also, Morrissey in music rotation! What else? My salad with quince vinaigrette was phenomenally better than expected, especially since it was the last plate sent out the night the Saints won the Superbowl. Obviously staff, and everyone in town, was jovial about this last point, but they were also admittedly tired and ready to be home or celebrating with friends... The bartender was our best friend for the night and he even "bought" my beautiful partner, who looks good in any light, his last drink of the evening.

    DO NOT GO THERE. Service was crap. Not only did we (4 people) wait 1h 30 without getting our food, but the manager refused to give us our food (even though it was ready apparently) because we had asked for our money back. such a shame that place has such management and we are highly disappointed. But a place is known for how it treats its customers so i'd recommend not going and spending your money elsewhere more worthwhile.

    This review is not for the food; we came by for a drink. It was a little too cold to sit outside, so we sat at the bar. The wine list is extensive and affordable. Oldies were on the radio. The red walls, dim lighting, candles and alcohol....... this place is SEXUAL. PERFECT for a date night... too bad I didn't have a sexy man with me (sorry, friend :) ).

  • Rene D.

    Sure, it's a wine bar...maybe. That's very limiting. Let's just say there's an emphasis on wine, but I think the hardcore oenophile wouldn't be happy. There's an ample full bar, and a menu if you need a nosh or a full meal. Darkly lit, and gives a good 1st or 2nd date vibe. It's even on the streetcar line, if you want to avoid driving. What else do you want?

  • Michael L.

    Really cool spot with a big city feel smack in the middle of the Garden District. Outdoor dining is a hit and makes for great people watching. The whole "order your food from the bar" and stalk out an empty table game is a little obnoxious, especially if you're starving. I'd have to advise against coming here at peak times if you're in a hurry. If you've got plenty of time on your hands, which everyone in New Orleans seems to, you're in for a treat. I'm learning to be patient and I'm glad I was. The wine, beer and spirits lists are well priced and quite extensive. They also offer $5 wine specials which are hard to pass up. As for food - The ribeye is up there with the best steaks I've ever tasted. $24 gets you a perfectly cooked, 12 oz cut topped with a decadent blue cheese butter and a mound of goose-fat fries with a garlic aioli. Un-friggin-real and totally worth the triple bypass that I'll probably need.

  • Perrey L.

    "You mean the place that looks like the streetcar?" I really like the Delachaise, but it is imperative to get there early if you don't like smoky, overcrowded meat markets. The wait staff is friendly and helpful and are very good at suggesting favorites from the menu and good wine pairings. I love getting a god booth near the windows up front, so you can observe the activity on St. Charles. The food is great and I find that this is a perfect place to meet with friends for a glass or two of wine and some shared small plates before heading out for the night. After about nine, though, it gets big time crowded and loses its quaint appeal.

    Delachaise is stumbling distance from my house. Operative word here being "stumbling." I very rarely leave this place with the ability to walk a chalk line! The food is very good (although some would say not quite as good as it was before Chef Chris DeBarr left and started Green Goddess), but of course, I have my favorites: * Flank Steak Bruschetta - Flank steak, garlic sauce & manchego cheese on a crostini. Not only are they melt-in-your-mouth delicious, but they are HUGE. * Grilled Cheese Anabella - I think this started out as a Chef Chris DeBarr original (especially since there is now a similar version at Green Goddess), but it is still totally drool-worthy, even in his absence. It's really all about the apple butter here, folks. Yes, apple butter. * Smoked Salmon Johnny Cakes - teeny little corn pancakes topped with smoked salmon, vodka creme fraiche, and caviar! They are ridiculous, and when I try to share them, I usually end up cradling the plate in the corner of the booth, muttering, "My precious . . ." I find Delachaise to be an excellent first date restaurant, as long as you go on a week night. My reasons: 1. Week nights are less crowded, and as a result, less noisy (it can get LOUD in there when it's packed). 2. If I go on a date there, I don't have to buy my own drinks, which is good, because I find their drinks to be a little pricey. 3. (and this one really just applies to me) If I don't like the guy, I can just fake sick and run across the street to my house! Of course, then the guy will know where I live . . . hmmm . . . maybe I need to rethink this a little . . . Oh man, I think I need to stop reviewing this place, because now I'm giving away all of my evil female dating tricks and for what? For you Yelpers! Well, I hope you appreciate it! P.S. Their cheese boards are good. Cheeeeeeese.

    The food was great but the service was bad! The bald bartender was pretentious and refused to give water without a tip. Also I'm pretty sure the house white wine was watered down. There are much better options in New Orleans that are more reflective of the vibrance of the city.

  • Jill S.

    The Delachaise is good for: winos, liquor snobs, cheese lovers, first dates, tenth dates, girls' nights, streetcar watching, dressing up, dressing down, talking to your friends, talking to strangers, talking to the bartender, dinner, desserts, and french fries. I love this place! Just wish it was open earlier / later.

  • Mary Walker B.

    I think I went to Delachaise at least 5 days every week in summer 2011. It is a tiny wine bar located on St. Charles uptown. The drinks list - a delicious gumbo of cocktails, wines and beers - is long and probably one of the best in town. The food menu is just as tasty. The french fries cooked in duck fat is one of my favorite Delachaise snacks. The bar has little indoor and outdoor seating, so getting a table is hit or miss because it can fill up any day of the week. It's a great place to chill with friends and spice up your week.

    This is the first place I stopped when I came to New Orleans house hunting, and what a great experience it was! The place was super packed but the bartender was so fast and so nice. But really the food is just outstanding. My sister and the steak and fries- really wonderful. I had some roasted pork thing with mango and it was just so delicious! I'm glad I came to Delachaise because it just made me feel really happy to move to New Orleans.

  • Jay D.

    Oh, Delachaise, how do I love thee? Let me count the ways - 1) Frog legs: I wish kissing these delicious delicacies would turn into Prince Charming. Cuz damn, he'd be YUMMY. A crispy yet airy batter, smothered in a spicy sauce, I fantasize about these at least once a week. 2) Fries: Now, I'm not a big potato fan, and usually skip the fries at a burger joint (onion rings generally partner better to the hamburger in my opinion), but Delachaise fries are fried in goose/duck fat and holy shizzle, these are definitely the BEST fries in this city, if not galaxy. I love the peanut sauce - perfect accompaniment. Be prepared to get 1 order for every 2-3 people if you want to be satisfied...these babies go quick. Specifically, from multiple experiences, I've realized one order is not enough for four. 3) Ambiance: I like the lounge like, classy yet low key vibe and the playlist is usually playing good stuff. I've heard Portishead and Sia as well as some more uptempo Ozomatli-ish stuff too. The twinkly lights year round make me happy, and the outdoor patio is great to watch the world go by on St. Charles. Plus, no smoking inside is a major bonus for those of us who don't like smelling like an ashtray at the end of the night and would prefer to smoke outside anyways (I moved here from California, okay?). 4) Bartenders/Drinks/Wine List: Fabulous wine list, and great bartenders who can concoct great potions if you tell them what you like. I'm a gin girl, and discovered it pairs excellently with St. Germain here. Most of their bartenders are awesome - Julia, who works there on Wednesdays and Fridays, rocks! How don't I love thee (ie why not a 5 star review?) 1) Crowd: A couple of my friends also love the food and drink, but won't come here with me anymore due to their interactions with the weekend clientele...the crowd here can be particularly more yupp-ity than most places in NOLA, especially on Friday and Saturday. I prefer to come mid-week when it's mellow and chill. However, kind of wish I could come here on the "big" nights of the week and not have some d-bag in an Armani shirt jabbing me obliviously trying to get Julia's attention. 2) Price/$$$: Sadly, my wallet cannot afford more than a once or twice a month Delachaise habit. Woe is me. NOTE: you order food at the bar, this isn't a "sit down and order" type of place, but that's what makes it a great place to just hang out, drink and grub.

    I love this place. It reminds me of the cafe outside of my after-college-backpacking-across-Europe Parisian hostel. I didn't give Delachaise 5 stars because, the last time I went, smoking was still permitted inside (TRES francais, je sais...) and I can't handle that. They've since expanded to open their patio, which is absolutely lovely on a weather-cooperating day. The menu is delicious, very French-bar-fare; with some of the best pomme frites EVER. They fry 'em in duck fat and serve 'em in a cone with 3 different dipping sauces. Whoever happens to be with me ends up inevitably having to fight me for the last fries. Great alcoholic selection as well. It does tend to get crowded, and seating can be a challenge at a time with a group, but I've never had a problem ultimately finding it. Ask the mixologist for a "corpse reviver" and try to limit yourself to 2.

    We came here on a Saturday night for dinner, it's awesome because it is one of few places that serves food late, we got here after 10pm. I had the Steak & Fries. My friends had the Pork dish they have and other stuff which I can't remember the name, but I do remember the food was good, we were all satisfied with our meals. Great place, outside seating. Most entrees come in good portions enough to fill you up. Most dishes are French and they have a full bar and an exquisite selection of wines (the best of all)!!!!

  • Clark C.

    One the most relaxing bars in New Orleans. The beer and wine menu is expansive and includes drinks from all over the world. The food is solid as well. The grilled cheese I had once left a lasting impression. And I'm sure most people know how good the fries are by now. You can't go wrong eating or drinking at this place -- all for a very decent price. The outdoor area is nice as well since you can watch the iconic New Orleans streetcars go by. The only downside is that it can get packed early (great for them!) so it comes down to luck finding a place to sit sometimes.

  • Tara D.

    WISH I could give it a 3.5!! So torn between that 3 and 4. Overall: Come here for an entree, some wine and enjoy the romantic, cozy place. Not a place for an entire dinner, though it has some good things on the menu. I would give it a 4 for a romantic bar scene and a 2 for restaurant scene. Skip the overpriced olives. Though their bloody mary is supposed to be really good, I didn't think that much of it. The steak bruschetta was amazing, and so were the fries. Everything else on the menu seems to be pretty awesome, though, and the wine deals are really great. I like the ambiance of the place- though we did have to sit in side because it was wet and rainy outside (think I would've liked it better outside... nothing beats the St. Charles location) - however the layout of the inside kind of stinks: It's not functional unless you sit at the bar.

  • Dana D.

    Delachaise's ambiance is classier than your average bar, and has a romantic and refined vibe. They have a great wine menu, specialty beer, and a selection of specialty mixed drinks that are delicious, but too expensive to consider getting drunk on. You won't find sloppy cheese fries here at all- but you will find gourmet goose fat french fries aka Pommes Frites. Usually pretty crowded, and the bar area is easily congested. IMO, the outdoor seating is the best choice- its less cramped and who doesn't love to watch the streetcars go by on St. Charles Ave? I think this place is perfect for dates or romantic evenings, or evening out with the girls. The only reason why I wouldn't give them more stars is because the vibe is a little snooty- I feel like I can't go in with shorts and flip flops- which sucks for me because I live in flip flops. Maybe I just don't make them appear classy enough, who knows. But, nonetheless, there is something good to be said about places that offer a nicer, upscale scene. Not everyone wants Budweiser paired with a Marlboro with a hooker sitting next to you.

  • Catie K.

    I don't write a lot of bad reviews, but I think this place warrants it. This restaurant tries to offset its pretentiousness by having you order at the bar before you sit down. Fine. I ordered from who I can only assume is the owner/manager because he was in white while the rest of the staff was in black and he was much older than the rest of the staff. When I had the audacity to order my food before my drinks he literally stopped me mid-sentence and insisted I order the drinks first. The entire ordering experience was the worst I've ever had....never have I been treated so rudely in a restaurant/bar. Our food came out over ten minutes apart and was mediocre at best. The wine was good; they should stick to what they know. I'm absolutely flabbergasted at the good reviews this place gets. It may have been an off night, but I will never go back.

  • Chris D.

    Nice place to just relax and have a well made drink. The bartenders are great, the location is perfect. Not a place to end a night, more like an early night rendezvous that was too good to leave. The crowd is very awkward to describe. Every one keeps to themselves and their own conversation, but you feel like your somewhere thats great for casual mingling and conversing about the wine, cheese, and mutual friends. Its a bar if it has a pool table, and this place is the last place that would have one, which I love about it. I know that this place will never change. This place has character, sex appeal, the perfect first date. Its more of a wine lounge, with great upper scale snacks of cheese, and chess, chess, and frog legs. Its a whole different experience that you should really give a try. Not a place to party, but a place to enjoy some company of others.

    Don't remember coming here but left my phone (and metrocard, compact, etc.) at the bar and bartender was nice enough to text a friend from my phone informing them that someone had forgotten their cell there. Went back the next day and they had it waiting for me. What nice people. A BILLION TRILLION THANKS to whomever kept my crap safe and sound. Definitely want to return and REMEMBER this awesome place.

  • Michael S.

    Great decor, good drink selection, decent bartenders, fantastic location, and typically a good mix of people. The food is alright but a bit overrated. The fries you read about are good but the steak I had was pretty poor. My biggest knock on Delachaise however is the price. It is one thing to carry a unique selection of beer but some of the prices for certain beers are far too steep. In addition, several of their more novelty beers can be a bit flat because they've probably been sitting in the back of a fridge for several months.

    Kinda reminds me of NYC. Long narrow space with a warm yellow glow. I instantly feel comfortable especially with a glass of Hoegaarden or Chimay. The duck sliders are a perfect combination of textures and flavors. Tender pieces of duck with bits of crispy skin sandwiched between a buttery roll with a touch of salt. I just wish there would have been a third little guy on the plate. The $17 crawfish pasta missed the boat. I could have made it at home with a little butter and heavy cream. But, I guess the noodles were a little "fancy". The frog legs were friggin awesome. Four juicy, tender legs crispy on the outside glazed with a wonderfully spicy sauce. Finger-lickin good for $10. Don't come here expecting to be served. You'll stand in line to order at the bar, and they'll drop your food at the table. Don't expect um to smile either. Maybe it is like NYC.

    Rico love to drink glass of sarah wine so Dechase is good. Rico no like to be in dechaise with 1000 pretty people who agrvate in nice clothes so have to begin early in bar. When Rico start early drinking srah wine the night become another adventure. Rico give crazy look at freind if asked to go here for the weekend night. Bring towel so you always have shining glass.

    Oh, Delachaise, what has happened to you? I still love this bar, but a little less than I did yesterday. I visited last night for drinks with a friend. It was crowded as usual but they needed one more bartender. It took us awhile to find a spot at the bar to even order; once we did, some seats became available. We were served drinks in a reasonable amount of time and then NEVER SAW OUR BARTENDER AGAIN (he was mostly working the other end of the bar but we were not able to get the attention of the other bartender either). We finally asked the barback for our second round. He was nice enough but seemed unfamiliar with the wines/liquors. Finally, after we had been there two hours, our bartender checked on us, just in time to close our tab. Delachaise, two bartenders is not enough on a Saturday night, especially now that you've added additional seating outside. Please fix this. I look forward to spending many more evenings with you, hopefully when you are more appropriately staffed.

    Adorable little spot for a drink with a friend or two. Given the size, I wouldn't recommend coming here with a group unless you planned to stake out a table outside. Looking forward to coming back for an extension of my wine to please my palate with its mate.

    I love the atmosphere indoors and out. It's a great location and has unique architecture. The menu is hit or miss. I recomend the shrimp clemenceau and the goose fat french fries. I was disappointed in the sazerac oysters. I found them bland. There's good wine selection, but I had a bad experience with a Malbac, which is one of my favorite wines. I suspect the wine had gone bad. I'm not a wine connoisseur, I just know what I like and what tastes good to me. This Malbec was acidic and almost grainy. I didn't feel confident enopugh to complain, that's not my style anyway. I just wount order Malbec there again. I've been satisfied with the pinot noir that I've selected on later visits. They also have a great beer selection. Great place for a date night!! I usually get 3 small plates and split.

    Unreal selection of liquors, completely unreal quality small plates -- it's not often that I can't figure out HTF a dish was made, but there must be pure wisdom, or magic juice, or something, put into every dish. They're fabulous and I'm at a complete loss for how to recreate them -- at an entirely unpretentious bar that almost has a dive-feel, because all styles of dress, ages of patrons, and moods are appropriate. My new favorite NOLA bar! Good job guys!

    Seriously, one of the best places in New Orleans. Even though nowadays you can barely find a place to stand, much less sit. I remember the good ole' days, violating every H.R. policy by getting hammered with my Delmonico Staff. Great Cheese selection, great liquor selection, and if you're a bit overextended, always some great deals on wine. I won't go on and complain about how douchy the crowd can be at times. Face facts people douchebags spend money chasing the ladies. It's nature at work. Just suck it up, and get a few free cocktails out of the deal. Food=Great, Drinks=Great, Evans wardrobe=Pimp! 'Nuff said!

    So I like to drink nice wines and eat fancy pub food. There is always a really decent glass of wine here for very little money offered any night of the week. I can't stand stanky wine and you have to be careful in this town. I'm never disappointed with the food either. I think the fries are cooked in duck fat. Not sure about that but whatever they are cooked in I want to coat my pillow with it at night as I sleep.

    Delachaise 3405 St. Charles Ave. (Uptown on St. Charles Streetcar Line) delachaise.com Reason: A charming night to spend with friends around fine alcohol and artisan cheeses. Drink: $5 daily wines are always a great steal Drank: French 75 Drunk: The liquor selection is immense; seek out a unique gin or scotch you've yet to try. mindless musings: If we're friends, it's likely we've shared a drink together at Delachaise. If we're good friends, it's likely we've shared a cheese plate as well. Our darling Delachaise gets it right time and time again. And let us add a disclaimer that this opinion of adoration lies completely independent from the on-again, off-again bartender love triangle x 5 which one LOCer happens to be involved in. Nor is it relevant that because of this love triangle that our drinks are frequently comp'ed. Nope, attractive bartenders and free drinks are just an added bonus. At Delachaise we were lucky enough to form a list of people who easily became the biggest supporters of our drinking habits and of our pocket books. The list went a little something like this: - friends of friends that think you're cute - bartenders that think you're cute - those whom you're actually dating - those whom that feel guilty that they stopped dating you - your current roommate's ex - your current roommate's ex that she is now currently dating - your current roommate's ex that is now also currently your roommate - your current roommate's ex that screwed her over yet once again - chefs that have always had a thing for your current roommate Sadly, over the last month or so, practically all these options ran out and we actually had an experience in which we were required to pay for our bill in its entirety (We were appalled. Even worse, we even had a female birthday in the group. And do you know how hard girls take it when they don't get free drinks on their birthdays? Exactly, there was an episode.) Therefore, we refrained from visiting Delachaise for a month or so... and then one of our roommates and her ex started dating again... But even if you aren't lucky(?) enough to experience any of Delachaise's delectable drama, you're sure experience many other delectable qualities about this bar. I.e., we've still found countless reasons to visit the bar regardless of the status of the list listed above. In particular, our favorite time to visit Delachaise is at night and our favorite area to drink in the night is the outdoor patio. It's amazing how a few strings of twinkling Christmas lights can bring a soft elegance to this otherwise underwhelming area (you practically forget that you're sitting on rackety patio furniture with nothing but a neighboring gas station and a street car line for ambiance.) Maybe it's all the wine we drink, the fabulous food we eat, or the great people that accompany us here - but there is a distinct feeling that overcomes us every time we're enjoying ourselves on that patio. It's as if we're nestled away in a quaint, romantic spot of the city in which everyone around us is experiencing the same soft appreciation of life as we are. Of course, as you venture inside, it is much more upbeat with the hustle and bustle of bartenders trying to wait on the impatient nightly crowd. The one downside to Delachaise is the long, oval shape of the bar that takes up much of the inside space, and the fact that you must order all food and drinks from this here bar. You can wait 20 minutes to place your order at 9pm on a Friday and this high activity level can last well until 1am - definitely detracting from the delicate appeal mentioned above. Yet, be patient and take pleasure in the fact that, just like you, many others have made their way out to appreciate this gem of a bar. But don't be too patient...! Speak up, order our drinks and hurry back to our table outside! We're sick of awkwardly not making eye contact with the awful saxophonist who we somewhat enjoy until he goes around asking for money! "Laissez les bon temps rouler" - LOC Lovers of Love Triangles (Proud LoveOurCityNOLA Team Members) Insider Tip: (1)As mentioned, all food and drinks must be ordered at the bar and on a Friday and Saturday night you will begin to notice your soul painfully trying to escape from your body as you wait to order beer after beer. Thus, if you're with a group, have one person go inside to order each round. Or else choose a strong drink that you can sip on over a long period (FYI a double vodka water with lime is not the way to achieve this. Bleh.)

    It was nice to get out of the touristy stickiness of the French Quarter for a night and I thank Yelp for pointing me Uptown to the charming Delachaise. Normally a place like this is right up my alley but, here, if the food wasn't so gawddamned good, it'd simply get an "A-OK" from me. I heard so many good things about the pommes frites, but was chagrinned to discover that they're fried in duck fat. I mean, I understand that some people eat animals, but duck fat, to me, sounds particularly nasty. Boo. However, the grilled cheese Anabella made up for it, with its ooey-gooey and perfectly melted asiago pressato and fiore sardo, ingeniously combined with house-made apple butter on semolina, and garnished with slivers of Granny Smith apple. Hot damn! My friend ordered the frites and grilled cheese and I ordered the Delachaise salad and the grilled cheese. She got both of her dishes, but I didn't get my salad. I was dying for some ruffage, so twenty or so minutes, well after we'd gotten all our other dishes, had cleaned our plates, and had them bussed, I mentioned it to the bartender. He said it was coming, but didn't check on it. I asked again in another ten minutes, and finally it came out. The runner was very sweet and apologized for the delay. It was a pretty standard salad, really, but good. My friend and I ordered dessert. She, the chocolate molten soufflé, and I, the bourbon-vanilla creme brulée. Again, my friend got her dessert and ate it all up. Time passes. Where the frak is my dessert, yo? I work in a restaurant, so I hate to be a pest, but again, I mentioned it to the bartender. Service had picked up in the 90 minutes we'd been there and he was busier and got downright snippy with me when I asked. He said, "it's coming as fast as it can, you know." (Are you calling me fat? Ha!) Normally, I'd be all, oh, cool, man, whatever, but I was due at a Fringe Fest show at 9 and it was fast gaining on 8:30. I asked a food runner about it instead. I apologized for being a pest, but I just had a place to be, you know? The dessert finally came out and, sadly, 'twas not good. My friend tried it as well and agreed. And we are not picky about dessert. We left the mostly uneaten portion on the table and bolted. Sadly, that Fringe Fest show at which we were meeting friends was sold out when we got there, thanks in part to this subpar creme brulée. I think the order-at-the-bar thing is problematic. This is essentially a gastropub (or gastrowinebar; is that a thing? No? Well, it should be.) and the menu and seating are extensive enough to warrant table service. I don't mean, like, a sit-down, fancy dinner, but at least assign bartender-types to work the floor. That said, NOLA Hopitoulas IPA is where its at, beer-wise. I'll preface this alcoholic confession by stating that I was not driving: I drank three, would've drunk more, too, if I didn't have elsewhere to be.

    I love this place despite the slowest, most impersonal bartenders in town--perhaps they're perennially understaffed? Awesome outdoor and indoor areas, dope wine specials, good cocktails, and plentiful bittys. I've never forked out the cash to eat here, but it shore smells good.

    Despite being a proud, non-wine enthusiast who frequents with a avid group of winos, Delachaise is still one of my favorite spots for a drinking session of any length. As for food, I've been on a roll with ordering the steak bruschetta. It's really the the Peruvian garlic sauce that seals the deal. Also, everyone (minus the vegees who shy away fromgoose fat) seem to enjoy the pommes frites. I like well-organized, eye-catching menus and their chalkboards meet such an inane fascination They provide the place of birth of all beers (liquors and wines too if I remember correctly). I appreciate knowing how far my drink of choice has traveled. As far as I know, they carry moderately priced and delicious wines. My expertise is with beer and I admire a diverse selection of draught and bottled beers. Draughts include: Anchor Steam Liberty Ale, Chimay, and NOLA Brewery's Hopitoulas. They carry a solid 25+ bottled beers as well (including some of my favorites: Brooklyn Lager, Dead Guy Ale and Harpoon). The service is solid and they do a good job of getting food out to the patio. Location is prime for people watching and easy to access as it sits about half way between downtown and uptown.

    Delachaise, it's whatever you want it to be. It's a lively group happy hour on Friday. It's stealing a drink with your boyfriend on a quieter night, just because. It's catching up with a girlfriend on a table outside over wine and -- wait for it -- flank steak bruschetta, pork pate, and (obviously!) goose fat pomme frittes -- I seriously never knew they had such good food! I had always only gone for drinks, but Delchaise is perfect for dinner too! And if you prefer wine to hand grenades, you will find a kindred spirit in Delechaise. They easily have one of the better wine lists in the city, plenty of them by the glass if you're feeling less adventurous, and from all over the world. They don't disappoint with beers and liquor either, if that's your persuasion. The only down side is that you always have to order at the bar, even if you plan on sitting at a table, and then you have to go back to the bar to pick up your check at the end. A little inconvenient if you're looking for a more sit down evening, but definitely not a deal breaker.

    Thanks for steering me in the right direction, my friends. I'm staying down the street from Delachaise and just had the steak frites based on a few good reviews. I was not disappointed! Someone said it reminds them of a NYC type of bar. I agree. In fact I'd say this place is very similar to d.b.a. in the East Village...but with New Orleans style, I can only guess (I've been here 3 hours). - 6 well chosen taps (Spaten, Schneider Weisse, Flying Dog...) - I opted for local and had the NOLA Hopitoulas. - Lots of bottles. - Excellent menus for aged Scotch (Macallen, Lagavulin...), Irish Whiskey, Bourbon, and Gin (Hendricks, Plymouth, Old Raj...). - New punk and alternative (The Killers, Radiohead...) played relatively low, but it was dinner time. - Steak frites were great - relatively thin steak, but juicy and cooked to order. Frites are fried in duck fat cut with oil. They were crispy and had a rich oil flavor. I did not have any problem with the service. I was there on Labor Day, and there was only one bartender for several customers, but he managed it well and the food came quickly.

    This place was fantastic on many levels. Four of us from out of town went here and we all will most definitely come back if we are ever back in New Orleans. The food was absolutely amazing; the fries were awesome, the cheese selection was tasty, the steak we had was cooked to perfection, the Cuban pork was exquisite, the deserts were divine...you all get the point. Everything was cooked to our specifications and the flavor was spot on. To add to our wonderful dinner was the fantastic wine, beer, and liquor menu. Aside from the amazing variety of spirits, the bartenders actually know WTF they are doing there! Our cocktails were mixed to perfection and the beer & wine recommendations were great. As Marisa X said in here review..."Delachaise, oh I F$#$#*% love you!"

    Here is a little bar, located right on St. Charles Ave., that is small and bursting with flavor! I've been frequenting this place since 2005, pre-Katrina, and it's still one of my favorite spots in Uptown. Inside, you'll find the surroundings dimly lit, each table housing a cute little candle and white Christmas lights in the windows facing St. Charles Ave. out front. Some may find the interior small, as do I. In fact, it is VERY small, in my opinion. However, I think that is also one of this bars strong points, too. Tables are set close together and at the very end of the bar, there is a solid wrap-around booth. This allows clientele to meet new people, chat and share drinks. I, personally, have never met a jerk in this place. Everyone is very cordial and often, I meet people who are in New Orleans for the first time in their lives. Before you know it, we're sharing stories and it's more like being in a living room with a good friend than a bar. They have something called 'around the world' wine....or something of that nature. They have a mass of wine selections from different countries around the world so you're def bound to find something that suits your fancy! If it's not on the board mounted to the wall, ask for the menu. The selection continues to thicken like a plot out of a Hardy Boys novel. When you order a wine from the board, it is given to you with a glass and a decanter. This adds a nice, sophisticated touch. In addition, you can easily get two full glasses from one serving! Not bad in my book! Wine is not the only thing featured here, however. Feel free to order any drink you wish, as they have a full and very extensive bar. Delachaise also serves food, which I think most people tend to forget....and from what I've sampled, it's very good! My group ordered a round of pomme frites, which I recently learned is fried in goose fat. That's why they were so good! I've also had the desserts, in the form of the Chocolate Molten Souffle' (with port caramel) and the Crème Brulee' (which has a seasonal inspiration and you'll need to ask). I've not given this establishment a full 5 stars (maybe I should??) because smoking is allowed and when the bar is full, the air is blue. Don't get me wrong....this place is NOT always full of smoke. It's only when it gets really, really busy that people begin to fire up their cancer sticks. Usually, this is quite late in the evening. Even so, when it gets that busy, it means it's about time for me to head out. I suggest anyone who has not been here before, is new to New Orleans or a native in search of a good time, check this place out. It's a fun, cute little place to spend alone, meeting new people or a place to bring a date!

    Came here for a nice glass of wine and a bite after work. Because really, one can only have so much Miller High Life (I know that's not true, but you know what they say about variety). I admit I don't know a TON about wine, but the "by the glass" list didn't leave me wanting anything. I had plenty to choose from, and had two glasses of a Spanish Tempranillo. It was great. The food was even better. Goose fat fries, olives, and the frog legs. Everything was well cooked, well seasoned, and tasted great. I would absolutely come here again, both to eat and drink. Thoroughly enjoyed it.

    Four stars for location, ambiance, and their bar/patio space. Three starts for cheeses. Zero starts for their men's bathroom. Even though I live pretty close to Delachaise, I hadn't been there in the last year. In looking for something other than the same'ol places we go to, we decided to go in for some wine and cheese. In arriving as per usual, the seating area was lively with lots of people having a good time enjoying their drinks. Ordered the five cheese plate and a couple of drinks-- sat down and the food came out pretty quickly. The cheeses were good, served with bread and spicy walnuts, but I think it would have been better if there was a preservative/jelly of some sort as well. On our way out I decided to use the men's bathroom... now, just to preface my past experience with bathrooms-- I'm not a person that requires much. I've been to very poor countries around the world (think rural Bolivia bus station) and managed just fine. But when I opened Delachaise's men's bathroom door and turned on the light-- it was like someone had dropped a cockroach bomb in there. At least 15-20 of different sizes and colors all over the floor advancing towards me as if I had walked in without invitation into their space. I instantly opted to apologetically retreat. Still, one brave roach stood up to me on behalf of the gaggle and attacked. While I'm not proud of what happened next, suffice to say I did what had to be done. But you have to understand, it was me or him! On a positive side, my GF said the lady's room was just fine-- though I have no personal knowledge of its state.

    Best wine menu in New Orleans. Not extremely extensive, but smartly put together. Want to impress some winos; bring them here. The beer and liquor is very well put together. Food is very good! I wouldn't recommend large groups because the place is pretty small, but groups of 4-6 works.

    Cool place, nice music, great out side seating.... There's a few eccentric characters here, but that's what keeps it interesting. My friend ordered us Moscow mules...

    The lady friend has turned me into a wine drinker against my earlier wishes. I quite enjoy it now and like places that I can try a variety of wines by the glass. Delachaise is primarily a wine bar where you can do just that along with eat, and/or get a beer or cocktail. The bar is long and the seating is somewhat limited inside on weekend nights. There is an outdoor seating area in the front on the St Charles St side with adequate heating lamps in the winter months. Perfect place to watch the streetcars fgo by while enjoying their great fries with a cocktail or glass of vino.

  • Katrina O.

    So food was decent once we got it, but everything else was horrible and my friend and I went out of our ways to not eat here any other time during our stay even though it was the closest place to our hotel. First off, you go in and the people who work here just walk by you with no recognition that you are visiting their establishment. Very awkwardly stood by the doors, then we sat decided to grab a table and sat down when no one acknowledged us. Then realized after 5-10 minutes of sitting at the table that there is no table service and food is ordered at the bar. Which I'm not opposed to and can understand. What I don't understand is how the people bringing you food basically drops the food at your table and tries to get away as quick as they can so they don't have to deal with customers or customer requests. My friend managed to insert a request before our guy practically ran back to the kitchen to hide. She asked for a water refill, no biggie and takes all of 2 minutes since it's a small place. The guy tells us we need to head to the bar for a water refill and he slinks off. Is it really that difficult to take the glass and refill it with water??? It seems like this place hires people who do not like customer service and do not know how to interact with others. if the food was great, I might be able to persuade myself to eat there again, but the food wasn't great. So why go to a place that offers mediocre food, and subpar service?

    This is a perfect little date place. Good food and great ambiance. Too bad for the bartenders who really ruin it for this place. Went on a Thursday night and the bartenders were absolutely miserable. Every time we'd order another drink they'd roll their eyes like it wasn't their job to pour you a drink. We sat with empty glass for too long. Miles was the only friendly bartender. The other guy and woman working that night should probably find a new profession.

    Good location. Good space. Great outdoor seating on this first Fall like night. Great wine selections and good food choices. Five stars right? Bartenders kill the vibe.

  • Janie T.

    Great food! We had the steak with Pomme frites and muscles with Pomme frites. The steak was cooked well which reminded me of my mom's homemade steak. The butter was a bit too salty so it made the steak too salty which sort of ruined the balance since the fries were also salted. The Pomme frites were delicious and nicely crunchy. The muscles were good as well. Very acidic broth which I think complemented the muscles well. It wasn't too hard to grab our own seating; we arrived around 6:45-7pm. The table was sort of on uneven ground and my knee hit the table a bit too much and I spilled my Lambic all over myself but they kindly replaced my Lambic. Oh I almost forgot the cheese and pate plates! Delicious!! We had a party of four and this was pretty good portion size. Highly recommend.

    This place is a must for late night dinning. Serving a full menu until midnight most days. The delachaise also has a killer by the glass program. And the bar tenders will gladly pair a glass with anything from a cheese plate to a lamb burger.

  • Catherine C.

    I don't care what else you order, but you must order the fries. This place is my go to bar for any attitude. It's relaxed enough to pass as casual, with a nice enough ambiance to pass as classy. Crowd is young professional (25-40), drink selections is amazing, food is even better. Tons of outdoor seating with heaters, indoors can get pretty crowded.

    I'm definitely a fan of Delachaise, and will be returning again. I started with the cheese plate and white wine - which like any other cheese plate, was scrumptious for this cheese lover. I didn't care too much for the pile of corn nuts that tagged along. Next I tried the mussels (moules et frites), which came freshly steamed in a decadent broth complete with lime leaves, cherry tomatoes, and thai chili. It also came with their lovely goose-fat fries on the side. Later, I couldn't resist snatching a bite of their lamb burger (pictured below). It was good too. The food, as you can see was great. The wine was great too! But, why 4 stars and not 5? The reason is due to the ambiance... The location is great, down St. Charles Ave., but the ambiance is somewhat like an old school diner, however instead of eggs and hash browns, there's a bar filled with wine and a kitchen filled with cheese. The narrow bar is a bit too narrow for my taste if they're going to have unopened boxes of unknown stuff cluttering the hallway. They've got strings of old christmas tree lights hanging, that aren't even turned on to give the illusion of christmas cheer. I think they could really use a decorator, to make the outside fit what's going inside (the food). Their food is great, but it's cheapened by their decor.

    If I could put fewer stars I would. This place ruined my night with absolutely terrible service; I get ordering from the bar, but "forgetting" to put my order in and being cavalier about the mistake an HOUR afterward just lost these guys extremely loyal customers. Not to mention it RUINED my last night with my boo before she moves. Never again.

    After the noise and commotion on Bourbon st. We were looking for something more refined. The walk was soooooo worth it. We took the double decker bus over to the garden district shops and just walked over. They played really fun music from the 70s 80s and on up to current. The wine list was terrific too. We started out with a glass of wine and the cheese plate. We left the chef choose but begged him not to choose goat cheese. He did a wonderful job. We then over dosed with the most gorgeous and delicious grilled cheese ever imagined or ingested. TRY IT. We ended with their crime brûlée which deserves its own personal review but I am too lazy. Go eat and enjoy!

    Why didn't I give Delachaise 5 stars the first time around? I honestly have no idea. It really has become my go-to spot for delicious late night food and drinks. You MUST get the Flank Steak Bruschetta, Moules et Frites, Steak Frites, and if you're not hungry, you MUST at least get the Duck Fat Pommes Frites. They're out of this world! And the sauces that accommodate them make it the perfect concoction. They also offer a vast selection of excellent wines that will acquire to anyone's preferences. And if you're not into wine, they also offer good beers and alcohol for all. I'm a red wine kind of gal and the Malbec served here has to be one of the best I've tried. So deliciously smooth and full-bodied. I love how charming and relaxed the atmosphere is. It makes for a great place to hang out with friends and indulge in numerous conversations. Delachaise always guarantees a wonderful time. If you haven't been, GO! P.S. Delachaise tends to get pretty crowded, even on weekdays so try to come early for a good spot.

    This is a nice place for a happy hour. They have some $5 glasses of wine. The fries, as everyone says, are amazing. I thought that $16 was slightly pricey for the mussels and fries combo but it was certainly enough to split between two people. It is very popular, so can be a bit crowded and noisy. The staff are very nice and I will go again, though it is far from my neighborhood, because I have a friend it is convenient for.

    I gave this place 4 stars only because the bartenders are a bit absent considering there are no servers and you have to order everything through the bar. They have a full patio and bar plus cocktail tables. Bartenders and food runners that's it. CMON!!!! (You know the basics guys) Anywho the food is BANGIN!!! I had Johnny cakes, flank bruschetta and spicy frog legs. Everything was prepared perfectly although I do think the bruschetta needs a little more acid but it's still delicious. It's a cool spot, a little uppity but who cares when the food is excellent. Get some servers, improve service skills and THIS PLACE COULD BE A UNFORGETTABLE!!! I'll be back

    An extensive bar with a huge selection of liquors and wines as well as a great kitchen! This was my first time sitting down to eat at Delachaise. It's usually so packed on the weekends, and so I've just grabbed a cocktail or glass of wine and some of their goose fat fries to enjoy, usually on the small patio and listen as the streetcars rattle by every once in a while. This day, the weather wasn't so great, and the crowd was lighter, though still a good bit of people in there. We were lucky enough to score an inside spot in the front curved area. This place resembles the shape of a streetcar in it's design, kinda cool right there on St. Charles. I love eating out with Joi because she sneaks veggies into my diet. This time she did it through the grilled eggplant cannolis and their cup of assorted olives. I don't even like olives, and I was going to town on these. I think I ate all the caperberries (taste like giant capers). The eggplant was canoodling with chevre and ricotta. I was only going to have a bite, but somehow a whole cannoli made its way into the depths of my belly. I love that it was grilled and not fried. Go Joi! We also had an assorted cheese plate that the waiter was extremely, and I'm talking EXTREMELY well educated on. I most enjoyed the cave-aged cheese. No idea what it was called so I failed Cheese 101 but not for lack of a good teacher. We also shared the mussels, which I ate 75 percent of between 4 people. I'm going to say it...Best in Town, and it kills me because there is another place that is a close second. But it's their unique use of ginger (I think) that gives it a floral "spicy" kick that is sometimes lacking in mussels. And they give you ample bread and fries to dip into the delicious goodness. Thank God I didn't have a straw. My only gripe is that there isn't any table service. You do have to order from the bar, and though the staff is very attentive, I still wish they were able to provide ordering from tables. Also, mini word of advice, there are a few people around the area that ask for money outside (totally unassociated with the restaurant) just to let you know. But, occasionally, there is a saxophone player (also unassociated with the restaurant) but not too shabby if you want to throw him a bone.

    What's the big deal about these goose fries? Really they are not all that. Mussels were tasty but overpriced. Drinks, consistent.

    This place gets 4.5 stars. It's the perfect place to have a second date. Very romantic and a wide selection of wines and liquors. My wife loves to come here and order a cheese plate. The only problem I have is parking and the prices are a little bit too high... BUT it doesn't stop me from going back time after time.

    Took my annual trip to New Orleans and as always made it a point to go here . Nothing's changed. It's great . Best part is the outdoor seating. Even though you are right on a busy street (St Charles) and a sidewalk with quite a variety of passerbys, it has a charm . It's delightful.

    Horrible experience... . This time I'm playing tourist in New Orleans where I am a little more than a tourist, since I lived in NOLA for several years. We got in late and were just looking for something to go. I ordered a pate plate. The pate tasted like rubber. When the order came out it came out to be served at a table. Same with the cannolis. No napkins or utensils.

    What if I told you I knew the secret regaining happiness after being delayed and having your bags lost? Well that secret is eating here at 11:30 PM on a week night. A friend requested me to find a place still open after I arrived five hours late to New Orleans. Using my Yelp super powers, this place came up as well rated and open late. The atmosphere was pretty relaxed and seemed to be made up of a lot of couples and a few groups of friends. I tried to order the special but they were out of the meat, so I got the muscles. After the first bite, I found myself forgetting I was stranded in New Orleans until my bags were found. Then I'd remember and smile, knowing that meant I could eat here again!

  • Lauren W.

    Not a huge menu - mostly designed for drinking and chatting. I got the grilled cheese, made with asiago and served with apple slices. It was tasty, but I don't think i'd pay $11 for it again. Cutesy, trendy spot serving good (but over-priced) food.

  • Catherine G.

    Although I wasn't a fan of the crowded spaces and super loud music/atmosphere, the food was great. We had the cheese plate, chicken stuffed plantain and salmon griddles. All excellent! This is a casual hangout good for friends.

    I was kind of over being in New Orleans on the last night of our trip, so we decided to take the St. Charles Streetcar and explore a few parts of the city that we hadn't already seen. I spotted the Delachaise while we were in motion and demanded that we stop by (having no idea what it was) on our way back to the French Quarter. I am so, So, SO very glad we stopped. If I were to be reincarnated as a wine bar, I would want to be reincarnated as The Delachaise. I loved everything from the architecture of the building to the chalkboard menus and random Christmas lights everywhere. They have an amazing selection of wine and their by-the-glass pricing is very reasonable. We sat at a small table next to the bar and enjoyed the music, people watching and the ambiance in general. I wish we'd found this little gem earlier in our trip! If we ever find ourselves back in the Crescent City, The Delachaise will be our first stop!

  • Miklos P.

    Highly recommended! One of the coolest, greatest places to hang out at, drink, eat and be merry in NO. Amazing cheese plates (you can choose from 20 diff int'l cheeses) great wine selection. The food was scrrrrumptious, delissshhh! Prices are moderate and well worth the quality. The specials on the blackboards looked amazing full of local seafood stuff, definitely going to try them next time as I will surely be back in a few days! It's a smoker's hangout with smoking permitted along the bar and eating areas, so if you're allergic to smoke, this place is not for you.

    Their pommes frites are basically all that a french fry can aspire to be. Fried in goose fat, served with dill aioli, it's basically a little piece of fried heaven. Add to that an extensive wine selection, great cheese boards, and regular awesome specials (like their flavored creme brulee of the day) and it's pretty much all you can ask for in a wine bar.

    Love love love love love this place. I've been meaning to try it for a seriously long time and the perfect opportunity presented itself tonight. My friend L and I wanted to do something but didn't know what. We did know that we wanted drinks and food, so we searched for late night bites and Delachaise came up in the search. It was about 11 pm so we checked to make sure the kitchen was still open and then we were on our way. I was half expecting a wait but the late night thing played out in our favor. There was no wait, we ordered our bottle of wine and 3 items from the food menu and went to sit down. We were sipping on the Riesling and talking and before we knew it, our food was brought to our table. First, the mussels. Oh the mussels. What a great sauce! We dipped the fries AND the bread that came with in the sauce and it wasn't enough so we started using the bread from another dish. L wanted a little more of a kick so we asked for hot sauce and we were presented with some Thai chili sauce that the chef/cook who brought our food out went back and whipped out. Second, the shrimp clemenceau. Also very good. I knew it was in a curry sauce but the thickness of it still surprised me somewhat when I was fishing for the potatoes and peas in the sauce. Lastly, the flank steak bruchettas. These are not bruchettas. They are sandwich size. I love flank steak so I was looking forward to these but the marinade was very mild, especially compared to the two other dishes that were very flavorful. Absolutely loved my experience and I will definitely be back.

    Came here on New Years Eve. I've never been here but I have passed if many times like others always putting it on my "Try it one day list." It was late and NYE, Superior Seafood had a 2 hour wait at 9:30 so we rolled down St. Charles to stop at Delachaise. We ordered at the crowded bar then sat outside next to the fire "flame"...don't think on a cold night that it's going to keep the patio warm, it's mostly just for show. The Steak Brushetta was one of the best guilty pleasure meals I've had in a damn long time. Awesome wine selection. I will be back to bring people in simply for the Steak Bruchetta, tender slices of steak upon perfectly crunchy fresh toasted bread slices with a Cilantro garlic creamy aioli that is out of this world. This is the MUST get dish. Everything else was great as well, a little Thai inspired and unexpected. A random and loaded man walks by and starts playing the saxophone in a bad way. He was disrupting all of the outside table. I finally have him some money and asked him if he could take it elsewhere because it was to loud. He just walked to the other side of the patio and continued living in his world of pretending he was a famous sax player. Walk up bar service only.

    This is one of my favorite little places to go for drinks and a lite bite. The wine and beer selection is always superb. For food, the flank steak bruschetta is a must. The horseradish sauce that they serve with it makes the dish! I tried the mussels for the first time during my last visit and was blown away. The broth that it is served in is so flavorful....ask for more bread for dipping. The mussells are also served with the duck fat pomme frites....and these are as delicious as you imagine. This is the perfect spot to stop by pre-movie!

    While I have eaten here, it's been years (although I do remember it being good food), so this is just a review of The Delachaise as a place to grab a drink. On a Tuesday we decided to go to The Delachaise to just grab a drink before dinner. I had a good Rose and the selection of beer is ample--considering this place bills itself as a wine bar. To that end, the wine list is relatively extensive but well curated. The atmosphere at the Delachaise--at least for me--is the perfect combination of "a little bit classier" and laid back. It feels relaxed, romantic and cozy but also vibrant and fun. One of my favorite places in NOLA. I've never had a problem with service, although it is true that you have to order at the bar (as there is no table service). I have also always known exactly what I wanted so I'm not sure if the servers/bartenders are friendly and helpful in guiding you in drink selections. Anyway, make sure you're ready to order at the bar and then have a good time!

    We went to delachaise at about 8 on a Saturday night. We weren't looking to spend a ton of money on good food, and we'd heard positive things. When we got here, it was PACKED! The kitchen was backed up about 35 minutes, so we knew we were in for a wait. It took thr bartender about 10 minutes to notice us, which irked me. We ordered the steak frites, the grilled cheese arabella, a side of the French fries, and the creme Brulee of the day. The pomme frites got here first and they were excellent! I wasn't huge on the aoli, though - it tasted like mayo. The other sauce was quite good. It had an interesting Asian taste that my boyfriend described as addictive. Next was the grilled cheese, which was so good that my boyfriend informed me he'd be leaving me for the chef. In my opinion, there should have been a touch more apple, but I am a fruit addict. The cheese was delicious and perfectly melty, and the bread was the perfect compliment. The steak came a few moments after - the kitchen backup must not have been that bad! It was cooked very well and the butter sauce was tasty, but the best part was MORE FRITES. The creme brulee of the evening was vanilla bourbon. I LOVE creme brulee and have it everywhere. Unfortunately, this wasn't quite as good as it could have been. I would have preferred a less pronounced bourbon taste and a slightly thicker custard; however, this is me nitpicking. It was still good! Overall, I quite liked Delachaise! They lose a star because of rude service and the heavy bourbon hand, but I'll definitely be back again!

    This is the worst place I have ever been. The owner/manager is the most unprofessional person I have ever encountered at a restaurant. He ran a table of 6 out of his restaurant patio because our party had a sleeping child with us after the manager said it was no problem and that we all could sit on the patio. We were all looking to eat and drink for a while there. This owner/manager is awful. You lost some extremely loyal customers.

    The Universe brought me to the doors of this cozy wine bar on a rainy winter's night. You see, we had originally planned to grab a bite by our hotel in the French Quarter but something had knocked out the power so we made a B-Line for anywhere that had electricity! Lights are pretty important when you want to see your food. We ran from our car through a curtain of cold rain to the dimly lit warmth of this little neighborhood wine bar. Although not terrible clean, because our tables had not been bussed, or upscale in any way, this spot reminds me of lovely cafes I've enjoyed in Paris. We ordered a bunch of items from the menu and each one was delightful. Marinated olives, ricotta stuffed eggplant and a ridiculous cheese plate which danced a tango in your mouth. That's right, I said it danced a tango. Our waiter explained each cheese in detail but all I heard was: "Twenty months aged, blah blah blah blah, cheese, cheese, cheese." I'm sorry, I was still suffering from the trauma that I might need to sleep in a dark haunted hotel room. Oddly enough the dish I enjoyed immensely was their matzah ball soup that was their special for the night. Maybe it was the stormy weather or the cold howling wind or my being homesick for my family, but I enjoyed that pimped out chicken soup more than I've ever enjoyed another bowl of soup before. It was a soul experience to say the least and it made my heart fly with happiness. And the two glasses of wine I had probably didn't hurt my mood either. Great spot for a date because everyone looks good in that lighting but the food still feels refined and thoughtful. Come with friends or a lover or heck, by yourself and enjoy a night where everything you eat feels like you're holding hands while walking down a cobble stone road down the Champs Elysees. Except for the matzah ball soup, that just feels like Mom is hugging you.

    It's definitely a fend for yourself. You have to prefer at the bar. Which is fine. But they completely throw you attitude when you ask for napkins, plates or silverware. Not water. And the server that brought the cheese, chef selection, seemed annoyed that we were interested in knowing the THE CHEF chose for us. And by the way the food was fine. Nothing remarkable. Go to Lynne S. to read more about our lousy experience.

  • Matt C.

    Didn't have a good go at it. 2.5 stars Everything started off fine... I thought it was some sort of craft cocktail place with all the chalkboards-n-stuff... Then I realized that was just the list of their boos. Why?... Ordered some wine, a couple appetizers... Still doing good. First appetizer comes around. Then an hour passes. Really an hour. We inquired twice and the second appetizer finally came out. I had beef bruschetta and it was terribly, terribly salty. Pretty bad actually. As for the hour wait I grew increasingly disenchanted; with some pretty poor customer service also. Especially from the little guy / bar-backer behind the bar... who, was wearing a T-shirt, lifted the T-shirt to scratch his bare belly, then used the same hands (not washing) to take clean dishes out of the dishwasher. Added to the agitation. If I had received the food in a timely manner and had more attentive service and not seen the scratch belly dude my experience may have been different.

    This has become one of my favorite places in the city. Since my review over 2 years ago, I have tried much of the food, a lot of the wine and some of the beer. Delachaise is the perfect little bistro when you want to enjoy a night out, but you don't want to get overly fancy. My favorites on the food menu are the gourmet grilled cheese and the cheese plate. I have tried many cheeses on the cheese plate and I've always been delighted by my choices. The gourmet grilled cheese is to die for. It's so rich that you can pretty much split it with a friend. I really like the seating area by the window, and it's always a perfect night when I am lucky enough to grab this limited spot. Sitting on the patio is perfect for early evening as the sun begins to set and the night winds down. There is an extensive wine selection so you are sure to find something that suits your tastes.

  • Ann E.

    1 star for the service! We were aggressively ignored despite our friendly attempts to make eye contact and simply order a glass of wine to take out to the patio. No smiles and just one word answers when they did acknowledge us. If we hadn't taken a taxi all the way over here, we would have turned around and walked out. 4 stars for the cheese plate and wine ... 3 cheeses for $16 ... Voignier and Grenache ... when we finally did get served. If you want to sit on the patio, plan on going back inside to order another drink or some thing more to eat. They don't serve outside. Pleasant patio but kind of weird having a gas station right next door.

    So I can't wait to go back here when they are actually open for a meal. Was recommended the Delachaise by a good friend so my husband and I walked over from Magazine street since we had a few hours to kill before a dinner reservation elsewhere. Josh, the bartender from a small town in Florida, was super nice and engaged us, the ONLY customers at 3pm on Christmas Eve, in good conversation. (Kitchen was not open until 5pm.) He gave us recommendations for other bars (with good mixologists that he personally knew--Bar Tonique and Cure) and clubs (d.b.a. on Frenchmen) to visit and introduced us to the NOLA beers which we drank on tap at other places on the rest of our visit (much better than Abita beers though not 100% amazing). He even let my husband sample part of a can of a craft porter which he then finished himself while chatting with us. The exterior of this place is odd--like a 1950s throwback drive through or something, but the interior is warm and wood-filled with old chairs. Their wine, beer and liquor lists are extensive and their menu looked great too. Hopefully, someday we'll be back to sample the other goods that this place has to offer. For now, thanks Josh for a nice afternoon. If you're in Chicago, look us up.

    One of my favorite bars in New Orleans, with some of the best food in the city. Never mind that the bartenders always seem a little surly... give me a carafe of wine and those pommes frites and I'm all set.

  • Allison M.

    Like Matthew M, I also just moved back to NOLA after a seven year hiatus, and I loved the bar. It feels relaxed and sophisticated, yet still has a certain funkiness that makes it comfortable and endearing. The selection is fantastic and the prices are very affordable. On the particular night I visited, I guess there were some issues with the service crew. The owner was behind the bar and super stressed and made us wait for nearly 10 minutes for the second half of a glass of champagne (he emptied a bottle with the 1st half). Then, he was talking to someone else while he finished the pour, but didn't tell us how much we owed him. My friend became quite pissed, as she was in town visiting friends and didn't want to be staring at this stressed out bartender--she wanted to be with her peeps. Understandable. I thought this would be a good opportunity to try out a theory. I wanted to sort of shame this guy into good service since we'd be there for a few more rounds, so we left him an $8 tip for his crappy service for our 2 glasses of wine. It totally worked. However, this is not a tip to service industry-types who may read this. He didn't get a tip at all the next round, so it came out even anyway. Also, he knew the people at my table, as it turns out, but once he got things under control, he came around to wait on our table regularly. So, I'm not sure if it was my smartass/jackass theory or him knowing people, but at least we had perfect service after that. This would be a fantastic date spot, by the way.

    I haven't been back yet, but Chef Chris DeBarr no longer works at the Delachaise according to an email I received from him. Too bad, he was such an awesome, down-to-earth guy who was willing to come out and chat with his patrons. He really has a passion for amazing food.

  • Steve M.

    I wasn't as bowled over as some of the reviewers. Yes, they have a good selection of wine and beer and the food is delicious, but you're basically paying $6-$10 for drinks and $12-$15+ for appetizers. The high prices are presumably for the atmosphere, but is it really that great? Mainly it's so loud you can't talk to anyone without shouting. Although I realize this is what some people are looking for in a bar, I'd rather spend the same money to have a good meal somewhere else.

  • Steph M.

    We only had one drink here, but I've heard the food is great. I loved the building itself though, and everyone seemed helpful. It was really busy but didn't feel like it; it was just a relaxed vibe that I enjoyed. We were on our way somewhere else, but I would have enjoyed staying there for a few more drinks and maybe some food!

    (4)

  • Allison J.

    I really like this little place. It's got a good wine list and is open relatively late so that restaurant industry people can come in after work and grab a cheese plate or some appetizers. It's a great date place and the staff is pretty friendly.

  • Maria B.

    This place is a little expensive, so it attracts a mostly white, upper-class crowd. However, it is a great concept, and perfectly possible--with a little suave--to secure a bite to eat and a drink for a totally reasonable price. The drink selection is impressive, with excellent prices on beers from around the world, and a good basic $5 house wine, white and red. It's also great to have a wine bar with free WIFI, yay. Delicious food and you can get a full meal for a mid-range price of around $13 although most entreés are in the $20s. There's also a range of appetizers if you're just feeling peckish. Like other reviewers, I recommend the "goosefat fries", which if a little expensive for fries, are abundant and unique and come with really cool sauces and blazing sea salt. Atmosphere (music, comfort) is great and it's a really cute little place--definitely fun and unique. It's possible to bring your computer and work, especially if you have headphones--or a date.

  • Matthew M.

    Having moved back to the NOLA area a few months ago following a seven year hiatus, I found that several new bars spontaneously generated in the meantime. Delachaise is one of the first ones I happily happened upon. The bourbon selection (if that's your thing) is quite impressive as is the decent array of wine. There is Chimay on tap - you don't see that too often down here. There is a Manhattan bar feel to the place without the Manhattan prices. The ambiance, well, let's just say it's a great place to bring a new friend or a first date. It's dark (but not too dark), and quite comfortable. You can actually hear the other party with whom you are conversing. Although not a quite a restaurant, there is food, and the food is pretty darn swell. If you're headed Downtown from Uptown - it's on the way. Thumbs up, folks!

  • Carolyn C.

    I can't even begin to tell you how happy I was after my first visit here, you see, I just moved to the area and was looking for some new watering holes and this place is Grreat! Seriously, a wine bar with an incredibly vast selection of wines and cheeses with a creative menu that changes frequently .. it can't get better. This place is only open in the evenings, but serves food until midnight. This really isn't the place to go for a full blown dinner, but it is a great date night beginning. You should check it out. It isn't a restaurant, there are no servers - you will have to go to the bar, but I really like the atmosphere and don't personally mind having to serve myself.

  • Shannon E.

    Interesting spot i hit around 10PM. Everyone orders at the bar, wait for your drinks right there, take a number to a table for any food; ordering system works ok, packed place and only took a few min to get orders in. Wine options abound on the menu, I got a bourbon. Weather was great so I grabbed a table outside, seat yourself anywhere you find an opening, in or out. Mussels with frites in duck fat: mussels in a thi style lime broth, a bit over powering flavor and the mussels themselves had meat a little larger than a pea; doubtful i'll order again. Frites in duckfat, maybe the bourbon numbed too many taste buds cuz I didn't experience any unique flavor explosion, just fries. 3 stars just cuz was a fairly bustling and chill spot to strike up a conversation with a fetching fellow patron

  • Liz C.

    Delachaise is a really nice little spot. Great wine, lovely service, and actually pretty tasty food! It's conveniently located on St. Charles, so you can sip your cocktail or wine right on the street car line (I can imagine tourists love that). I find that the best time to enjoy everything Delachaise has to offer is early on a weekday (~ 5-7pm); otherwise, you're not likely to find a spot to sit unless you're by yourself or with 1-2 other people and can squeeze in somewhere the second a couple people get up to leave.

  • Cristen F.

    I just had one of the top 5 sandwiches in my lifetime here! When you visit, order The Boz-Tuscan ham, Brie, and arugula on ciabatta. Yummy goodness. It's very rich and considering it comes with fries cooked in goose fat this isn't for the faint of heart or stomach! But, it's phenomenal.

    (5)

  • Roxanne C.

    The Delachaise is truly decadent in atmosphere, food, and drinks. It's a wine bar, which you can either get by the glass or bottle. Their selection is extensive. If you're not sure what to get, ask the bartender, and they would be happy to recommend you something. Torn between 2 choices? They did allow me to sample the 2 I was torn between. I would hate to pay for something that I'm not sure if I would like or not. Now onto their food! DELICIOUS! Most recently I came here for a friend's birthday, and I got the Grilled Eggplant Cannolis. SUPERB! Whether you're coming here for date night or just with a small group of friends, you will enjoy this place. I really don't know why I don't come here more often.

  • Abby N.

    Nice place to meet after work (or after a day of toddler chasing in my case). I had the grilled cheese, which I think had all the cheese in it. After reading all the rave reviews, I had some of the fries. While they were good, I'm not sure they were worth the price tag.

    I went on a quiet night just for drinks. The mood was really nice except for a drunk saxiphonist "playing" who kept interrupting my conversation. Nice ambiance. Good food. Good drinks. Great place for a chill night during the week.

  • JW F.

    Nice enough place but at the end of the day it was simply a bar ( and there are plenty of those here ) with a humorless bartender who hailed from France and was dressed in drag for Carnival w/e. Great costume but you'd of thought he was into the whole Mardi Gras atmosphere what with his get up. It wasn't that crowded ( at first ) when I ordered and whereas most barkeeps in this city are fairly engaging even when slammed w/ customers this guy couldn't be bothered to even mutter a reply or manage a smile of any sort. Not looking for a best friend, just a civil attitude from someone who deals w/ the public everyday. From all the reviews I read it may have been an off day for the guy. Just saying, it colors one's impression of a place and makes you hesitant to return.

  • Lynne S.

    We had a lovely evening there on our last NOLA visit 4 years ago, but this was a real disappointment. We ordered at the bar (that's how it works here). That in itself I am fine with. However, then we went and sat at a table to wait for our food. The "wait staff" is completely indifferent. We had to ask for silverware, plates and napkins. And we were told that if we needed more, we could locate our own utensils at the wait station around the corner. (Wtf???) The waiter who came with our cheese plate had no interest in telling us anything about what we were eating. It all seemed to be quite a bother to him. Then throughout our meal there was a local vagrant man in a wheelchair who moved from table to table talking to everyone and inserting himself into their evening. Needless to say, we won't be back. It's such a shame.

    Quiet wine bar type bar uptown. They will have food specials, it's been a while but I believe I had some type of Duck Sliders, which was very good. Also they have a pretty good wine/beer selection. They don't seem to focus on spirits and specialty mixed cocktails although they do have options. I'd recommend this spot, it's quiet, low key in a really busy area.

    Order your food/drinks at the bar, then find your own table. Quaint outdoor patio with a sign that says no food or drink outside. But, once you order, they tell you that they'll bring your food to you outside if you want to sit out there. While the ordering process is a little weird, the food is fantastic. Got the shrimp Bangkok style. It was fantastic! While I was eating at the bar, two other people came up to order, looked at my plate and chose that as their meal because it smelled so good. A little pricey. $6 for a glass of beer on tap

    Very cozy and unique atmosphere. Love the ambiance at night. Had the ham & Brie sandwich with the amazing fries that are cooked in duck fat. I only ate half of my meal because it was very filling, brought the rest to-go. Had a glass of the house wine and beer for the remainder of the evening. Very enjoyable experience.

    absolutely THE WORST dining experience I've ever had in New Orleans...to clarify: stopped in for dinner and ordered a few drinks and a soup/sandwich from the bartender (who was lovely). Unfortunately, things went downhill very quickly from there. The ticket machine for food was broken, which is completely understandable. However, after 50 minutes of waiting at our table we finally asked a waiter if our food had been forgotten. He explained about the broken machine, which of course we understood, and said the food would be out shortly. Half an hour later we were still waiting on a bowl of soup....No apologies or updates from any of the wait staff. When all the food was finally delivered, we (brashly, I admit) asked if the food would appear on our tab or if we would be comped. The waiter could not have been any harsher in replying that no, we would not be comped and no, we could not continue to eat the t-1 hour 45 minute late food that was in front of us. At which point, he whisked the food away in a huff and all but flipped us the birdie. I have never been more disappointed by a restaurants "service" or wait staff, especially because I had been really optimistic :( That being said, the bartender really was great and the 1/4 of the grilled cheese I ate (and was charged in full for) was delicious. UPDATE: when I called to speak with a manager, a man named Damien answered the phone, heard I wanted to talk to a manager, paused for a moment and changed the tone of his voice PRETENDING to be a manager...don't know what's going on with this place, definitely wouldn't recommend to a friend. maybe to a worst enemy...

    Good beer and wine selection but the bartenders are a bit highbrow for me. The place is very crowded and they could have used a few more bartenders as well.

    Classic cocktails, wonderful scotch list, great daily specials, goose fat fries... What's not to love? The bartender knew not to shake my gin martini. (It bruises the juniper.) He didn't make it dirty enough, especially considering I asked for it filthy. But I probably didn't need all that salt anyway. Next was a lovely bottle of Tempranillo with pâté. The pâté was interesting, not bad, but a little coarse for my liking. We finished with creme brûlée, which I don't typically like and never would've ordered. But if you like the stuff, this was superb. Upon deciding it was time to go, I ordered an Old Fashioned... TO GO! (I'm home, finally!) It was possible the best (at least in the top 3) OF I've had. We spent too much money, but it was all delightful and pretty well worth each penny. I will definitely be back.

    This is a great place to take a girl on a date. We come here regularly. Although I read a lot of complaints on service, it's very busy here all the time. You have to have a little patience. I can see how some of the staff can be rude, but I am pretty sure it just comes from being so busy. If you're planning on coming here to eat and go, this is not the place for you. It's made for sitting down and having a good long chat with friends and eat.

    I'm sorry but I have to do this. I must channel my inner Buffy to review Delachaise. You were warned. OMG, this place is so super amazeballs, y'all! They have an overcrowded bar that makes it super difficult to order drinks but that's awesome because I just stand there like a deer in the headlights and take up room so other people can't order. I give the people behind me super-judgey looks so they feel inferior and want to leave. I don't move when the waitresses are trying to get around me because I want them to know that I am sooo more important than them. Don't they know me?!? I love this meat market so much that I wish I could be here like 24/7. I have no idea how much anything costs because I just charge it on Daddy's Visa FTW! Ok, back to Lindsay. I used to love hang out on the patio of the Delachaise, listen to Cracky McSax (homeless saxophone player), drink some wine, and eat some cheese with my friends. The last several times I have gone to Delachaise it has been nothing but an overcrowded meat market filled with pretentious twits and nimrods. So I limit time there now. It's probably very nice on a Wednesday night. The staff is usually pretty nice, the selection is OK, but the prices are a bit on the high side now. So 4 stars for what it used to be, 2 stars for the Buffys.

    This very well may be the best little wine/cocktail bar in New Orleans! The service is very efficient and the prices are more than reasonable concerning both wine and liquor. The ambiance is intimate with Christmas lights adding a romantic touch for the night time crowd. They have a small patio for those who would like to enjoy the weather and the local scenery (if the weather happens to be enjoyable at the time). The usual way at Delachaise is to purchase a bottle of wine and split it among friends (or just yourself) at a nearby table. However, they do serve wine by the glass. If your any lover of cheese than you should look into their cheese plates. You can pick any number of cheese from their very impressive cheese menu and pair it with fruits, nuts, and French bread. It gets very cramped in this intimate place at night but if you show up around 8pm-9pm than you are sure to find a cozy spot... TO GUARD FOR THE REST OF THE NIGHT! The crowd varies a bit but is mostly made up of young professionals, mid-twenties to early-thirties, and a very select few young college kids who are damn lucky that they get to hang out among the rest of us :-)

    This place is just down the road from where I am living at the moment and while I have been there a few times and love their variety of drinks, and much of the food is creative and good, the main negative is the balding bartender who is usually there - gruff to the point of rudeness and absolutely without charm. I don't know who owns the place but take note, this bartender does your business no good

  • Stephanie S.

    Super cute place! There was a nice special the night I was there - $5 glass of wine. We also got the chefs choice cheese board. Very yummy for the price though the service is a little confusing. You have to order everything at the bar which got super backed up.

    I am kind of upset with myself now that I realized I've never written a review of this place. It is by far my favorite bar in New Orleans for a few reasons: 1 - It's romantic. I am a hopeless romantic. A sweet young lady just waiting to be swept of her feet by Prince Charming. So yes, I like the dim lights, narrow and close atmosphere, sexy music and a wall full of wines. 2- The food is delicious. Not that you should indulge in a huge meal here, but the plates are a great size to share for a snack. 3 - Wines. Wines. Wines. Galore. Their wine list is quite extensive. I'll admit, I do not know a WHOLE lot about wines, but I know what I like and what I don't. 4- Indoor and outdoor seating. Oh New Orleans, how I love you so, but the weather that you offer is not the best for my easy-to-frizz-hair. 9 out of 10 times I sit inside, but when the weather is good, like in the fall or the beginning of winter, the outside tables are nice. My heart is taken at the moment, and I hope it stays that way. But if any guy every wants to put a huge smile on my face... take me to Delachaise.... then sweep me off my feet :)

    I would definitely recommend this place. FOOD: Amazing. The flank steak bruschetta was so good. I hear the frog legs and mussels are really great as well. DRINKS: Solid selection of beers for a New Orleans bar (meaning not just Abita). Lots of Belgians and other good stuff. SERVICE: Good. The bartender made great recommendations and was really fun. It also has pretty cool vibe/atmosphere.

    I can't believe what just happened. Ordered dessert which is supposed to take 15 minutes . 30 minutes later the bartender checks on us and tells me he didn't know what happened but they gave our dessert to the table behind us. I am so furious right now. It's my last night in town and I just completely wasted my time. The bartender didn't apologize or anything. What is wrong with people? Douche bags.

    Great atmosphere and amazing food. I had to give Delachaise only 3 stars because of the confusing situation when you first enter the restaurant and the terrible service received. The bartenders are friendly and helpful, but service definitely needs some help. Atmosphere is great and romantic.

    I took a couple out-of-towners here on a Wednesday night around 12. It was not crowded, service was fairly fast, and we found a comfortable booth to sit and chat. We had sazeracs, as it was on my list of "must-try NOLA drinks" for my friends, but I wish we had tried something else as well. They didn't seem to be a specialty, so looking back it seems silly for us to only get these. But they were strong, so I guess that was a plus. My friend was a vegetarian so she had the eggplant dish and it was...meh. This was definitely a classier place than I am used to going, which is fine if you're into that kind of thing, but I'm not a huge fan. I prefer divier places where everyone has had a few too many and talks to complete strangers for 45 minutes and forgets their names. This place didn't have that vibe. I think I will try to go back sometime and sit on the patio...it seemed really cute and cozy.

  • Robert G.

    Strangely enough, there is a large wine selection of many horrible varieties. The bar is fully stocked, but the drinks are not well made, such as the case while muddling an entire lime slice, including the rind, in the mojito (the effect, causing a bitter drink, instead of a refreshing one). I have to give credit that the drinks were fast. I did not like the lack of late night table service, even with a patio area and such high prices. The Malbec that was paired with my meal was stale with fast legs, therefore, the stale, high alcohol content of the wine was less than expected. The food was cold and the steak bruschetta was not good. Cold and roast beef taste! Never again.

  • Grace C.

    Been here three times. My favorite thing about this place is the daily wine specials. $5 for a decent pour of a choice of several types - white or rose (flat or sparkling) or red. Seriously the best wine I've had by the glass in New Orleans so far and a great deal. The frites fried in goose fat are pretty spectacular too. The cheese/pate plate is mediocre - I was appalled at the bread-and-butter pickles in place of cornichons and I'm sure the chef has never even heard of aspic. The pate was dry and crumbly with not much flavor. The cheese was meh. My least favorite thing is the bartenders. The bald french (I assume, his accent could actually be anything) dude clearly hates people and his life must be utterly miserable in his profession. His female protege who actually has a long nose, seems to like looking down it at customers. They bunch up in the middle of the bar, preferring their own company to that of the paying customer, who end up waiting overly long for a refill.

    Great atmosphere, yummy fries...I would have given then 5 stars if the service wasn't awful. They acted as if they could care less if we were there AND we left and came back with 30 minutes and none of the 3 bartenders recognized us. Weird.

  • Monique K.

    This place is great, loved it - the service? Not so much. The rudeness level totally killed it for me. After hours on a plane I was in desperate need food and drink - literally dying. I was happy to find this place. Warm, intimate, extensive wine and spirits menu displayed on chalkboards, tons of hipster couples - reminded me of home. Loved the vibe. The bottle of tempernillo was great, but it started to go downhill from there. You have to order everything from the bar, food included, and the customer service was severely lacking. They were out of the ingredients for the salad nicoise. life = ending, as i had my heart set on their amazing nicoise. Ordered the foie gras du jour instead and it tasted as unappetizing as it looked. Tough, over-salty, deemed unedible by the entire table. When ordering the basic Delachaise salad that I unfortunately had to settle on, I was told they wouldn't add anything to it, period ---- Annoying. I asked the (rude) bartender woman twice to please toss the dressing with the salad... It was the least they could do, but it came untossed.. oh well, no big deal.. The plain delachaise salad was actually quite good for what it lacked in variety of ingredients - the dressing was so-so, but the combination of flavors pleased my jet-lagged tastebuds. Unianimous decision - "we should have ordered the duck fat fries," which seriously looked AMAZING and smelled mouth-wateringly good... my body was literally aching watching poeple devour them. Spent the rest of the meal downing Jameson and wine. If it weren't for the bad service, running out of ingredients, and the staff's poor recommendations, I'd probably go back. Probably won't...

  • David C.

    This place is a lot of fun. The first thing that strikes you as different is that there is no table service. All of the service comes from the bar, and in order to get someone's attention to order you have to go and order from the bar. I was very impressed with the bartender's understanding of their craft when I approached one gentleman with instructions from my wife to bring her something with sweet vermouth and rum neat. The bartender was able to come up with a concoction that pleased her, so points for that. The portions, on the other hand, leave a little to be desired. The location more than makes up for that. Sitting on the corner of a side street and St. Charles, the outdoor seating area is one of the best that I've been to in the city so far. Bonus points.

  • Dennis G.

    My lovely girlfriend wanted to go here for her birthday. I like wine, but I'm definitely a beer guy. I admit, I was a bit worried about having to find a wine I'd like but they have a fantastic beer selection, both bottled and draft. But the star of the evening was GOOSE FAT FRIES. Delachaise uses good fat in their fryer and man does it show. These fries are amazing. My order of fries was part of my dinner, their take on fish and chips. Hake fillets in a Hoergaarden beer batter was delicious and the aioli served with it really sealed the deal. Finishing my meal was pistachio creme brule. Overall a great meal to celebrate a birthday. For the wine drinkers, the daily special is a $5 wine, usually a house red or white. For that low fee you get a mini-carafe that will easily pout two glasses of wine. You can't beat that.

    On a Friday night you can expected a packed house, a fight to the death for seating. Extensive wine and liquor list (a little overwhelming). They have a fair share of food options. The cheese platter is amazing and they have some of the best fries in the city. Definitely a dating vibe associate with the ambiance. They also have additional seating outside along St. Charles to add to the experience. I recommend it for date night or for a night out with some friends to explore the wine world.

    A great little bar with a wonderful selection of wines and beer. The goose fat fries with the aioli sauce are delectable. Always a great place to meet friends for a drink and/or a meal. The outside patio and twinkle lights definitely add to the charming atmosphere. One word of advice, however. When ordering any kind of wine, don't ask for the "house" version- there is no such thing and chances are they'll only give you the most expensive glass of wine for that variety... If you're budget conscious, be specific!

  • Gabriela M.

    Disappointed in this place after I had heard such good things from many people. Went here for a date night. Both my date and I were very excited because it seemed like a fun spot and, like I said, people seem to like it! First we tried to order drinks at the bar and were ignored for a solid five minutes. I don't mean that the bar was busy and I was being impatient; I mean the bar was NOT busy, we were the only people trying to get drinks, and the bartender seemed to size us up and in his mind (and through his actions) say "Nope!". Cool. Off to a great start. Someone from the kitchen grudgingly came and gave us our drinks, which were fine, no complaints there except that they maybe would have tasted better without feeling that I was ~greatly inconveniencing~ this person. My date and I then sat outside to have a meal. We were told someone would be with us shortly. I guess shortly means 20 minutes. That is simply unacceptable. Again, not super busy. In fact, we had beaten the rush, because after we finally ordered our food many more people came. Fortunately during this time, my date and I kept each other great company because as far as people watching goes here, um, just don't bother. A pretty vanilla crowd, to say the least. Finally our food arrived and my plate was the incorrect item, simply not what I had ordered. I'm not a super picky eater and would have eaten anything (especially at that point, given how hungry I was....) but in this case it was seafood that I couldn't have. So, after waiting an even longer while (because the waiter left IMMEDIATELY after dropping our food off), I respectfully asked if they could please take the dish back and give me what I had ordered. Well, no surprise, that took forever and I am sure I was their least favorite customer of the night through no fault of my own. To top it all off, the food was only so-so in my opinion. So, yeah. I know plenty of people who love this place but from the experience I had I can't see why. One mistake or one instance of rudeness from a staff member I could tolerate and give this place another try, but so many mistakes in sequence and such rudeness from multiple people in one night makes me think it's more a systemic issue; there are other places in New Orleans I am more willing to give my time and money.

    Cool atmosphere, feels very European, right down to the stern service, ha ha. The food was extremely good, I could not stop eating it!! We ordered several plates to share. The pommes frites fried in duck fat (or goose fat) are so crispy, they are exactly to my taste. The malt vinegar aioli is my crack!!! The Thai peanut dipping sauce is good too. Our cheese plate had a nice array of cheddar, manchego, gouda and honey goat cheese. The honey goat cheese was to die for! I have got to find out where else I can get this locally. Next time I am going to get an order of that just for myself! The olive plate was scrumptious and paired perfectly with my champagne cocktail. My friend ordered the steak bruschetta. It was not one of my faves but she loved it. I'm looking for an excuse to go back as soon as possible!

    Delachaise has so much potential to be a really amazing bar and restaurant. It is sad that they do not take advantage of their wonderful location on St Charles Ave. I have visited them several times over the past years and each time I get the same impression, waisted potential. The service is hit or miss. The wine list is extensive, but when asked about certain qualities of their offerings I was brushed off and left to "fend for myself". As far as any drinks other than wine, forget it. They aren't even willing to think outside of the wine box and make a great mixed drink. Wine bar or regular bar,it is still a bar and should offer at least a fun speciality drink, it can involve wine. I will say that the food was very good. Nice flavoring and pairings of ingredients. The cheese platter is always a fun one to order and duck grease fries are devilishly delicious. The atmosphere leads much to be desired. The furniture needs updating, some of the seats where loose. The arrangement did not lend well to large groups. I guess if its dark enough and you have had a few drinks it all sort of becomes a blur. Be wary of the bathroom, its not the cleanest. At the end of the day most of these things could be over looked if the personel where a bit more welcoming. In particular, the French man behind the bar as well as some of the other staff reflected no interest in our group's business. For this reason we will find a better place where we fell welcomed.

    This would actually be 3.5 stars, but since that's not an option, 3 it is. Let me preface this review by saying Delachaise has great potential. They are one of the only wine bars in Uptown, they are open late, and serve a full menu. Unfortunately, the service leaves so much to be desired. Not that it's always bad, just inconsistent. Perhaps they don't care because they own the niche, who knows. Maybe it's the order-at-the-bar method that puts the bartenders in such bad moods. I can understand. There are a million people at the bar all trying to get drinks and food. Why not hire a couple servers to make that easier? They are bridging the gap between bar and restaurant. But if you are going to serve bottles of wine and full entrees, why wouldn't you have table service? The selection of wine/beer/spirits is great. The food is delicious. The bathrooms are dingy and the furniture in the place is falling apart. Wasted potential. The service is, for the most part, inconsistent. I could be waiting for 10 minutes for a bartender to even make eye contact, even when I'm standing next to someone who's ordering! Last night my friend never got his food, then after 45 minutes went to inquire about it. "Oh sorry", the bartender said, "it never got made." That's it! No comped drinks or anything. I come here because it's a wine bar that's open late with food. But if there was another option around with the same kind of amenities, I'd be there in a second.

Well, no surprise, that took forever and I am sure I was their least favorite customer of the night through no fault of my own. To top it all off, the food was only so-so in my opinion. So, yeah. I know plenty of people who love this place but from the experience I had I can't see why. One mistake or one instance of rudeness from a staff member I could tolerate and give this place another try, but so many mistakes in sequence and such rudeness from multiple people in one night makes me think it's more a systemic issue; there are other places in New Orleans I am more willing to give my time and money.

    This is the wine bar which you wish was just around the corner from where you lived. The Delachaise was packed on a Friday night as you might expect but the service and food was swiftly served and worth talking about. The special of the night was the duck plate....yum yum yum. And the goose fat fries are worth contracting your arteries for. The wine and beer list is impressive and reasonable. I will be returning.

    I LOVE the vibe of this place and always take out of town guests here. It's so cute and convenient for bar hopping/touring the city. They always have specials on their glasses of wine which is a bonus. Their fries are fried in goose fat and now I don't want fries any other way. I'm not a very good vegetarian... It comes with some sort of malt vinegar aioli that I want to smother myself in. Eeek TMI.

    I must say I'm a fan of any place that can whip up a proper cocktail. My favorite cocktails are the Aviation, Grand Gimlet, Sazerac, etc etc(you get the point). They also have an excellent beer and wine selection. There are usually really good $5 wine specials on the board too. It can get quite busy in the evening but I've never had a major issue finding a seat at the bar. Feel free to go solo, with a date, or friends. There's definitely enough seating options available, bar, banquets, booth, and an outdoor patio. Now on to the best part...FOOD! Don't expect typical bar food here. The chef at Delachaise has worked diligently to plan a great menu with interesting special. I love their Pomme Frittes because they are fried in Goose Fat! The frog legs, smoked salmon johnny cakes, and cheese plate(many choices) are equally delicious!! This is by far one of my favorite places to eat, drink, and unwind. The interior is now smoke-free, so that's another reason to love Delachaise.

    Absolutely WORST service I have ever had a restaurant. After waiting for about an hour for the last member of our party to get her food, she asked the waiter to check on it. He looked at our tickets and said everything would have been made together, so we must not have gotten it. In response, the member of our group told him if her food hadn't been made to just not make it, to which the waiter responds "thanks". No apology whatsoever for my friend not getting her food. The waiter comes back out a few minutes later and said that what she ordered had been made and brought out, and he looks at another member of our party who ordered the same thing and says, "he ate your food". At this point, our whole party is livid, and the member of our party goes into the bar to figure it out and it turns out the bartender never put in his food order. The restaurant messed up, and made no acknowledgement of this mess up, nor offered any condolence or solutions to the problem. The group left angry and one of us left hungry from not getting dinner. And to comment on the food, the fries were good and the grilled cheese was not.

    Indeed, my wallet weeps when I hit up the Delachaise but it is always totally worth it. A few industry foodie-friends raved about this wine bar and I was always convinced that it wouldn't be for me, when we arrived I was convinced. Whether outside on the patio, chatting up the bartender at the bar or having an intimate conversation in the U-shaped street-car replica seating beneath the Christmas lights, I secretly ponder if I started paying rent would just let me live there in the beautiful atmosphere? They have a fantastic wine list, if you know anything about wine but they also have a great selection of cocktails, mixed drinks and beers to make any sort of drinker happy. And the FOOD... the frog legs call to me! I crave them on the regular.. And ahem, to guarantee a good time... try the "Black Bubbles" (Shinglebock). It will not disappoint :)

    Really good food with an excellent wine and solid beer selection make for a break from the normal. The best food options are the pate du jour, the flank steak bruschetta and of course the duck fat fries. They also have really good daily specials. The wine list really is the star here, with choices from all over the globe accommodating any size of wallet. An eclectic beer selection and full bar are available for the non vinophiles. The only complaint I have here is that it often is really crowded, making seating difficult with not much space to wait. Also, be advised, there is no table service - you order everything at the bar and they bring it to you. I like this personally, as you can take your time, and it makes for fewer people occupying the aforementioned lack of space.

    Classy. Cute stand alone intimate restaurant. Outdoor seating with romantic string lights hung up. What I like about this restaurant: great wine selection scrawled across hanging chalk boards, kitchen is open late, and the bar food comes in smaller portions (which I love) and it's, like, "fine" bar food. This was the first place I've ever eaten frog legs which were lightly battered and fried and I thoroughly enjoyed them! Sometimes it's a bit hard to get a seat which is a bummer. Not the end of the world, though.

    I'm from out of town, and this place was within walking distance from the hotel. My family and I went on a Sunday night, there was plenty of seating at the bar, but we sat outside on the patio. It was really a nice atmosphere. There was a large wine/beer selection. I would good back next time I'm in town.

    Stopped at Delachaise while on a cross country road trip with my younger cousin. The food and the atmosphere was great. I'd describe Delachaise as being comfortably cosmopolitan and the emphasis is on really good food.

  • Betty N.

    As a Cali girl I will tell you STRAIGHT-UP it's NOT truly a "wine bar". Wine list was weak sauce. Food-wise? It can do better. A true "wine bar" would offer real Spanish tapas, preferably for under $16 if it's seafood. A bit on the pricey side. Ended up with grilled cheese sandwich and a martini. The sandwich was good, but $8. Really? At a wine bar? Come on. And the martini was so-so. Again, if you are looking for a genuine "wine bar", go elsewhere. If you want a late-night option near uptown, this may be it.

  • Lori T.

    Great selection of wine & booze. Delicious food. Fantastic bar-tending eye candy. (I'm looking at you Christopher). I personally like to visit early to mid-week, because it can become an uptown cougar den on the weekends - nothing wrong with that, just not my vibe.

    I went to Delachaise last night to have a drink with an acquaintance of mine. One drink turned into three, and by the end of the evening we were old friends. I had heard so many great things about this place, and I have to say that they were all right. An intimate setting with a long bar, couple of small booths and low lighting make this a wonderful place for getting to know new friends or catching up with old ones. I arrived at about 6:30. There were a few people there, but not many. That didn't last. It didn't get overly packed, but I was surprised at how busy they got as the night went on. It was a Monday night, after all. Being a wine bar, I though it only fitting that I ordered wine. I'm a fan of the reds; especially Cabernet Sauvignon. While there was only one on the menu, it was pretty good. My friend and I split the Flank Steak Bruschetta: grilled marinated flank steak, peruvian garlic sauce & shaved aged manchego on ciabatta crostini. It was DELICIOUS! I highly recommend it. After eating we ordered a few more drinks. I had a French 75, with cognac, of course. It was superb. It was the 2nd best French 75 I have ever had. It was so great, I ordered another. This time from a different bartender. Unfortunately, this second bartender did not make it the same way. It was okay, but I would definitely make sure to get that first bartender to make them when I go back. Another reason to like this place: There are menus of liquors like tequila and bourbon (the good stuff) written out on chalk boards above the bar. The only problem was the service was a little slow. They were very nice, and it's not that they were completely ignoring us; they were just kind of slow. It seems they could benefit from having just one more person behind the bar during their busier times. But I will definitely be going back. I just have to try their bourbon, tequila and those amazingly fragrant duckfat fries.

    The matzo ball soup sold me on this place as i had gotten soaked to the bone out in the rain all day. Hoping a delicious warm bowl of matzo ball goodness would warm my insides and help me not to get sick (it is Jewish medicine after all). After a somewhat in appropriately long wait for my soup to arrive (hence gettin knocked down a star) it finally came. A giant ball o matzo in the middle surrounded by plenty of carrot and chicken breast chunks arrived. The ratio of ball to carrot to chicken was perfect and the broth was flavorful without being too salty as sometimes it can be. Savoring every delicious bite, it warmed me, healed me, and was The Best bowl of matzo ball soup I've ever had. This soup special should be a permanent fixture on the menu and executive chef RJ Tsarov be given an award by Jews everywhere for the magical soup all our Jewish mothers and grandmothers dream about making.

    A friend of mine wanted to catch up and recommended we go here. It was my first time and I was impressed. The place is a little tight but they offer outdoor seating. We came on a Wednesday night and the place was packed. Loves how they have all the items displayed on a black chalkboard. They also serve food, albite a very limited menu. Will come again soon!

  • Rosamar T.

    Only one thing I have to say about this place : Pomme Frittes! Fried in duck fat and served with two different sauces : Peanut asian inspired sauce is my favorite. I know its a $8 but believe me its worth it. * Note: You have to order @ bar. They will deliver to your table. Also, if you are with a big group don't expect to be served at the same time.

    We spotted this place from the streetcar as we were passing by and later went back. I had their grilled cheese; my girlfriend had the Shrimp Clemencau. Both were superb. Nothing is ordinary here! I am a big grilled cheese fan and it's so hard to find good kind. This was amazing. The only setback was they didn't serve our food together so we had to wait a little bit for the other plate. Outdoor seating is great too!

    I've been a frequent diner/drinker at Delachaise since 2008 and have always enjoyed my experiences and have always brought lots of friends from out of town there. The last 2 times I've been, the experiences have been less than pleasant. The first instance was a particularly surly food runner who told my friend, after she politely said hello to him and that we had ordered a lot of food (the fry baskets were crowding table) and that he could take some of the empty items, that he "didn't really care much" and snatched the items off the table. Strike one.. Strike two came a week or so later when my husband and I went around 10:45 on a Thursday to order takeout and get a drink while we waited. There was a good crowd of people but we quickly got a place at the bar, ordered our food and our drinks for the wait. We ordered fries, a grilled cheese sandwich, and a meat sandwich that I forget the name of. Nothing too crazy and we see food coming out of the kitchen left and right. 20 minutes passes, then 30 minutes passes. Finally as the bartender is serving a new person next to us we see a look of acknowledgement that we are still standing at the bar. She walks to the kitchen, nothing is said to us, and then walks back to the register prints out a ticket and goes back to the kitchen. At this point we've realized that she forgot to put the order in but she says nothing to us and stays at the other end of the bar. We've now been waiting for 45 minutes. Another bartenders comes by and I tell him that we've been waiting for 45 minutes and ask if the kitchen is that busy. He says it is but that he'll check on the food. He comes back and says that it'll be another 10 minutes for the grilled cheese because they use a lot of cheese and have to put it in the broiler and it takes a really long time. Okay, but other items on the menu that take a really long time have that notated on the menu and I've gotten a grilled cheese 10 times before and it has never taken that long. In the mean time my husband swears that the female bartender is telling the male bartender that she forgot to put our order in, but he's not a lip reader so that's not confirmed. The worst part is that we paid for our food when we paid for our drinks so we waited 20 more minutes and miraculously the food appeared. The kicker.. They bring out 3 boxes with no bag. My husband asks if we can get a bag to carry our 2 sandwiches and fries to the car over an hour after we ordered them and the guy says. We ran our of bags! When we got home and I opened my box expecting a thick Theo's style grilled cheese, I was met with a grilled cheese with minimal cheese that had been cooked so long it was hard. Strike 3. Delachaise, we will be taking a long, long break from each other.

    While on a weekend jaunt in NOLA I was staying around the corner from this place and popped in on the recommend of a friend. Good thing I did. Great place, the adult beverage menu is EXTENSIVE, the food was REALLY good especially the steak and the offerings diverse which is a real surprise for bar food . The vibe was reminiscent of Williamsburg. The only down side to this place is you have seat yourself and its mucho packed so if you are travelling with a big group like I was then give up hope of being seated together and take the every-man for himself approach. NOTE: This is a bar not a restaurant so if you go in there with this frame of mind you will appreciate its offerings.. OH and one more thing.. THE FRIES... good god almighty, I think its fried with voodoo potatoes it was so good. I missed it when I got home...sigh!

    Wine Bar. Great atmosphere. I actually went here 2 nights in a row. The plates are well presented, even if the service was a little slow. Had the Pate du Jour (pork & shiitake mushroom) which was served with pickled onions and green tomatoes. How different from gherkins! But still excellent. Then had the Mussels in a Thai broth with the duck fat fries. The fries were very tasty, but barely detected a difference between that and another high quality oil. The mussels were a different flavor profile then what I'm used to with shellfish (either buttery OR tomato based). Good heat and a clean flavor. I saw 2 cheese plates go by and will definitely be trying those. There is indoor and outdoor seating. This is a perfect date-nite place to go. I will be going back and my goal is to try everything on the menu!

  • Rachel K.

    I always enjoy myself at Delachaise. It's great for happy hour, post-dinner, first dates, second dates and any night of the week. One of my favorite things about this little wine bar is the $5 house wines. They always have a red, white, rose and sometimes a sparkling. It's normally a pretty decent wine for a great deal. Food is also delicious. Extensive cheese selection. The goat cheese they offer with honey drizzled over the top is hands-down my favorite (Note: I was corrected by a Delachaise employee that this cheese is not on the menu; perhaps it is something I remember from years past.) Their spiced pecans are also quite yummy. Another great thing to try is the Flank Steak Bruschetta and their gourmet grilled cheese. Everything is fried in goose fat. Fantastic! A few new things about Delachaise in the past few months is Free Wi-Fi, lunch available during the weekends and here's the best thing: They've gone SMOKE-FREE!

    I've never reviewed Delachaise? Really? Totally thought I did. Well then, let's fix that... Okay, so I'm going to sound like a hypocrite/asshole/douchebag for saying this, and apologies to the many people who I'm about to offend, but Delachaise is one of those places that I really really like, except for the crowd. Not crowd as in it's always packed, but as in, I like the space, I like to go, but I'm not a huge fan of the people who go there. Ridiculous? Perhaps. Still true, though. My favorite thing about Delachaise is their round the world wine special, or whatever it's called. Every day they feature a different wine -- one red and one white -- and for $5 you can get a little decanter thingy (which is the same thing as ordering a glass of wine, but more fancypants to get it in a tiny decanter, like you would in Europe). It's always, always good when I order it, to the point that I never even bother to look at their (extensive to the point it's mind boggling) menu of wines, beers, and booze.

  • Erin V.

    This wine bar has a very nice atmosphere and a large selection of drinks but that's pretty much it. The bartenders are very rude and not helpful, especially the European man who is always here. There is such a large selection of drinks and beers it would be nice if they could offer a specialty or some assistance. Otherwise I just order what I always do at any other bar... There are like 5 beers on tap so it is mainly for people who like wine and liquor. But they don't do shots which is wierd for a liquor bar.... That said with the atmosphere and really cute patio area with white lights and great location, I do go there for a drink but just wish the service was better and not so snobby.. very rare in New Orleans. The bathrooms are also really gross with the door not even closing properly and falling off its hinges!

    I LOVE DELACHAISE! Been here numerous times and this is my first Yelp Review for it. What I love most are the selections of wines, beers, mixed drinks that they offer, cheese plates, and of course the small plates of food!! Recently, we discovered that they carry our favorite Japanese White ALe: Hitachino!!! Yes, You must try this beer! So crisp and fragrant! Overall, Yes I'm a Fan!

    Sweet, sweet, sweet mother of God. Not only is the food good, the drink priced right, and the selection fantastic, but my god in heaven! The service! Any of these fools on here that say anything (ANYTHING!) about the poor service obviously has never seen Josh Hall in action. Don't know Josh Hall? Not my problem; you my friend, are missing out. To high-five Josh Hall is like high-fiving sunshine (without the 3rd degree burns). Every time I go there it's like that time I went to Seaworld and got a blowjob from Shamu. No joke (and long story). Go to Delachaise and give Josh and friends all your money. And quit bitching about no table service you baby; this is New Orleans, and you're obviously an asshole.

  • Heidi S.

    Perfect lighting in this fancy dive. Also, Morrissey in music rotation! What else? My salad with quince vinaigrette was phenomenally better than expected, especially since it was the last plate sent out the night the Saints won the Superbowl. Obviously staff, and everyone in town, was jovial about this last point, but they were also admittedly tired and ready to be home or celebrating with friends... The bartender was our best friend for the night and he even "bought" my beautiful partner, who looks good in any light, his last drink of the evening.

    DO NOT GO THERE. Service was crap. Not only did we (4 people) wait 1h 30 without getting our food, but the manager refused to give us our food (even though it was ready apparently) because we had asked for our money back. such a shame that place has such management and we are highly disappointed. But a place is known for how it treats its customers so i'd recommend not going and spending your money elsewhere more worthwhile.

    This review is not for the food; we came by for a drink. It was a little too cold to sit outside, so we sat at the bar. The wine list is extensive and affordable. Oldies were on the radio.

    Sure, it's a wine bar...maybe. That's very limiting. Let's just say there's an emphasis on wine, but I think the hardcore oenophile wouldn't be happy. There's an ample full bar, and a menu if you need a nosh or a full meal. Darkly lit, and gives a good 1st or 2nd date vibe. It's even on the streetcar line, if you want to avoid driving. What else do you want?

  • Michael L.

    Really cool spot with a big city feel smack in the middle of the Garden District. Outdoor dining is a hit and makes for great people watching. The whole "order your food from the bar" and stalk out an empty table game is a little obnoxious, especially if you're starving. I'd have to advise against coming here at peak times if you're in a hurry. If you've got plenty of time on your hands, which everyone in New Orleans seems to, you're in for a treat. I'm learning to be patient and I'm glad I was. The wine, beer and spirits lists are well priced and quite extensive. They also offer $5 wine specials which are hard to pass up. As for food - The ribeye is up there with the best steaks I've ever tasted. $24 gets you a perfectly cooked, 12 oz cut topped with a decadent blue cheese butter and a mound of goose-fat fries with a garlic aioli. Un-friggin-real and totally worth the triple bypass that I'll probably need.

  • Perrey L.

    "You mean the place that looks like the streetcar?" I really like the Delachaise, but it is imperative to get there early if you don't like smoky, overcrowded meat markets. The wait staff is friendly and helpful and are very good at suggesting favorites from the menu and good wine pairings. I love getting a god booth near the windows up front, so you can observe the activity on St. Charles. The food is great and I find that this is a perfect place to meet with friends for a glass or two of wine and some shared small plates before heading out for the night. After about nine, though, it gets big time crowded and loses its quaint appeal.

  • Lyndsey Y.

    Delachaise is stumbling distance from my house. Operative word here being "stumbling." I very rarely leave this place with the ability to walk a chalk line! The food is very good (although some would say not quite as good as it was before Chef Chris DeBarr left and started Green Goddess), but of course, I have my favorites: * Flank Steak Bruschetta - Flank steak, garlic sauce & manchego cheese on a crostini. Not only are they melt-in-your-mouth delicious, but they are HUGE. * Grilled Cheese Anabella - I think this started out as a Chef Chris DeBarr original (especially since there is now a similar version at Green Goddess), but it is still totally drool-worthy, even in his absence. It's really all about the apple butter here, folks. Yes, apple butter. * Smoked Salmon Johnny Cakes - teeny little corn pancakes topped with smoked salmon, vodka creme fraiche, and caviar! They are ridiculous, and when I try to share them, I usually end up cradling the plate in the corner of the booth, muttering, "My precious . . ." I find Delachaise to be an excellent first date restaurant, as long as you go on a week night. My reasons: 1. Week nights are less crowded, and as a result, less noisy (it can get LOUD in there when it's packed). 2. If I go on a date there, I don't have to buy my own drinks, which is good, because I find their drinks to be a little pricey. 3. (and this one really just applies to me) If I don't like the guy, I can just fake sick and run across the street to my house! Of course, then the guy will know where I live . . . hmmm . . . maybe I need to rethink this a little . . . Oh man, I think I need to stop reviewing this place, because now I'm giving away all of my evil female dating tricks and for what? For you Yelpers! Well, I hope you appreciate it! P.S. Their cheese boards are good. Cheeeeeeese.

  • Allison D.

    The food was great but the service was bad! The bald bartender was pretentious and refused to give water without a tip. Also I'm pretty sure the house white wine was watered down. There are much better options in New Orleans that are more reflective of the vibrance of the city.

  • Jill S.

    The Delachaise is good for: winos, liquor snobs, cheese lovers, first dates, tenth dates, girls' nights, streetcar watching, dressing up, dressing down, talking to your friends, talking to strangers, talking to the bartender, dinner, desserts, and french fries. I love this place! Just wish it was open earlier / later.

  • Mary Walker B.

    I think I went to Delachaise at least 5 days every week in summer 2011. It is a tiny wine bar located on St. Charles uptown. The drinks list - a delicious gumbo of cocktails, wines and beers - is long and probably one of the best in town. The food menu is just as tasty. The french fries cooked in duck fat is one of my favorite Delachaise snacks. The bar has little indoor and outdoor seating, so getting a table is hit or miss because it can fill up any day of the week. It's a great place to chill with friends and spice up your week.

    This is the first place I stopped when I came to New Orleans house hunting, and what a great experience it was! The place was super packed but the bartender was so fast and so nice. But really the food is just outstanding. My sister and the steak and fries- really wonderful. I had some roasted pork thing with mango and it was just so delicious! I'm glad I came to Delachaise because it just made me feel really happy to move to New Orleans.

  • Jay D.

    Oh, Delachaise, how do I love thee? Let me count the ways - 1) Frog legs: I wish kissing these delicious delicacies would turn into Prince Charming. Cuz damn, he'd be YUMMY. A crispy yet airy batter, smothered in a spicy sauce, I fantasize about these at least once a week. 2) Fries: Now, I'm not a big potato fan, and usually skip the fries at a burger joint (onion rings generally partner better to the hamburger in my opinion), but Delachaise fries are fried in goose/duck fat and holy shizzle, these are definitely the BEST fries in this city, if not galaxy. I love the peanut sauce - perfect accompaniment. Be prepared to get 1 order for every 2-3 people if you want to be satisfied...these babies go quick. Specifically, from multiple experiences, I've realized one order is not enough for four. 3) Ambiance: I like the lounge like, classy yet low key vibe and the playlist is usually playing good stuff. I've heard Portishead and Sia as well as some more uptempo Ozomatli-ish stuff too. The twinkly lights year round make me happy, and the outdoor patio is great to watch the world go by on St. Charles. Plus, no smoking inside is a major bonus for those of us who don't like smelling like an ashtray at the end of the night and would prefer to smoke outside anyways (I moved here from California, okay?). 4) Bartenders/Drinks/Wine List: Fabulous wine list, and great bartenders who can concoct great potions if you tell them what you like. I'm a gin girl, and discovered it pairs excellently with St. Germain here. Most of their bartenders are awesome - Julia, who works there on Wednesdays and Fridays, rocks! How don't I love thee (ie why not a 5 star review?) 1) Crowd: A couple of my friends also love the food and drink, but won't come here with me anymore due to their interactions with the weekend clientele...the crowd here can be particularly more yupp-ity than most places in NOLA, especially on Friday and Saturday. I prefer to come mid-week when it's mellow and chill. However, kind of wish I could come here on the "big" nights of the week and not have some d-bag in an Armani shirt jabbing me obliviously trying to get Julia's attention. 2) Price/$$$: Sadly, my wallet cannot afford more than a once or twice a month Delachaise habit. Woe is me. NOTE: you order food at the bar, this isn't a "sit down and order" type of place, but that's what makes it a great place to just hang out, drink and grub.

    I love this place. It reminds me of the cafe outside of my after-college-backpacking-across-Europe Parisian hostel. I didn't give Delachaise 5 stars because, the last time I went, smoking was still permitted inside (TRES francais, je sais...) and I can't handle that. They've since expanded to open their patio, which is absolutely lovely on a weather-cooperating day. The menu is delicious, very French-bar-fare; with some of the best pomme frites EVER. They fry 'em in duck fat and serve 'em in a cone with 3 different dipping sauces. Whoever happens to be with me ends up inevitably having to fight me for the last fries. Great alcoholic selection as well. It does tend to get crowded, and seating can be a challenge at a time with a group, but I've never had a problem ultimately finding it. Ask the mixologist for a "corpse reviver" and try to limit yourself to 2.

    We came here on a Saturday night for dinner, it's awesome because it is one of few places that serves food late, we got here after 10pm. I had the Steak & Fries. My friends had the Pork dish they have and other stuff which I can't remember the name, but I do remember the food was good, we were all satisfied with our meals. Great place, outside seating. Most entrees come in good portions enough to fill you up. Most dishes are French and they have a full bar and an exquisite selection of wines (the best of all)!!!!

    One the most relaxing bars in New Orleans. The beer and wine menu is expansive and includes drinks from all over the world. The food is solid as well. The grilled cheese I had once left a lasting impression. And I'm sure most people know how good the fries are by now. You can't go wrong eating or drinking at this place -- all for a very decent price. The outdoor area is nice as well since you can watch the iconic New Orleans streetcars go by. The only downside is that it can get packed early (great for them!) so it comes down to luck finding a place to sit sometimes.

    WISH I could give it a 3.5!! So torn between that 3 and 4. Overall: Come here for an entree, some wine and enjoy the romantic, cozy place. Not a place for an entire dinner, though it has some good things on the menu. I would give it a 4 for a romantic bar scene and a 2 for restaurant scene. Skip the overpriced olives. Though their bloody mary is supposed to be really good, I didn't think that much of it. The steak bruschetta was amazing, and so were the fries. Everything else on the menu seems to be pretty awesome, though, and the wine deals are really great. I like the ambiance of the place- though we did have to sit in side because it was wet and rainy outside (think I would've liked it better outside... nothing beats the St. Charles location) - however the layout of the inside kind of stinks: It's not functional unless you sit at the bar.

    Delachaise's ambiance is classier than your average bar, and has a romantic and refined vibe. They have a great wine menu, specialty beer, and a selection of specialty mixed drinks that are delicious, but too expensive to consider getting drunk on. You won't find sloppy cheese fries here at all- but you will find gourmet goose fat french fries aka Pommes Frites. Usually pretty crowded, and the bar area is easily congested. IMO, the outdoor seating is the best choice- its less cramped and who doesn't love to watch the streetcars go by on St. Charles Ave? I think this place is perfect for dates or romantic evenings, or evening out with the girls. The only reason why I wouldn't give them more stars is because the vibe is a little snooty- I feel like I can't go in with shorts and flip flops- which sucks for me because I live in flip flops. Maybe I just don't make them appear classy enough, who knows. But, nonetheless, there is something good to be said about places that offer a nicer, upscale scene. Not everyone wants Budweiser paired with a Marlboro with a hooker sitting next to you.

    I don't write a lot of bad reviews, but I think this place warrants it. This restaurant tries to offset its pretentiousness by having you order at the bar before you sit down. Fine. I ordered from who I can only assume is the owner/manager because he was in white while the rest of the staff was in black and he was much older than the rest of the staff. When I had the audacity to order my food before my drinks he literally stopped me mid-sentence and insisted I order the drinks first. The entire ordering experience was the worst I've ever had....never have I been treated so rudely in a restaurant/bar. Our food came out over ten minutes apart and was mediocre at best. The wine was good; they should stick to what they know. I'm absolutely flabbergasted at the good reviews this place gets. It may have been an off night, but I will never go back.

  • Chris D.

    Nice place to just relax and have a well made drink. The bartenders are great, the location is perfect. Not a place to end a night, more like an early night rendezvous that was too good to leave. The crowd is very awkward to describe. Every one keeps to themselves and their own conversation, but you feel like your somewhere thats great for casual mingling and conversing about the wine, cheese, and mutual friends. Its a bar if it has a pool table, and this place is the last place that would have one, which I love about it. I know that this place will never change. This place has character, sex appeal, the perfect first date. Its more of a wine lounge, with great upper scale snacks of cheese, and chess, chess, and frog legs. Its a whole different experience that you should really give a try. Not a place to party, but a place to enjoy some company of others.

    Don't remember coming here but left my phone (and metrocard, compact, etc.) at the bar and bartender was nice enough to text a friend from my phone informing them that someone had forgotten their cell there. Went back the next day and they had it waiting for me. What nice people. A BILLION TRILLION THANKS to whomever kept my crap safe and sound. Definitely want to return and REMEMBER this awesome place.

  • Michael S.

    Great decor, good drink selection, decent bartenders, fantastic location, and typically a good mix of people. The food is alright but a bit overrated. The fries you read about are good but the steak I had was pretty poor. My biggest knock on Delachaise however is the price. It is one thing to carry a unique selection of beer but some of the prices for certain beers are far too steep. In addition, several of their more novelty beers can be a bit flat because they've probably been sitting in the back of a fridge for several months.

    Kinda reminds me of NYC. Long narrow space with a warm yellow glow. I instantly feel comfortable especially with a glass of Hoegaarden or Chimay. The duck sliders are a perfect combination of textures and flavors. Tender pieces of duck with bits of crispy skin sandwiched between a buttery roll with a touch of salt. I just wish there would have been a third little guy on the plate. The $17 crawfish pasta missed the boat. I could have made it at home with a little butter and heavy cream. But, I guess the noodles were a little "fancy". The frog legs were friggin awesome. Four juicy, tender legs crispy on the outside glazed with a wonderfully spicy sauce. Finger-lickin good for $10. Don't come here expecting to be served. You'll stand in line to order at the bar, and they'll drop your food at the table. Don't expect um to smile either. Maybe it is like NYC.

    Rico love to drink glass of sarah wine so Dechase is good. Rico no like to be in dechaise with 1000 pretty people who agrvate in nice clothes so have to begin early in bar. When Rico start early drinking srah wine the night become another adventure. Rico give crazy look at freind if asked to go here for the weekend night. Bring towel so you always have shining glass.

    Oh, Delachaise, what has happened to you? I still love this bar, but a little less than I did yesterday. I visited last night for drinks with a friend. It was crowded as usual but they needed one more bartender. It took us awhile to find a spot at the bar to even order; once we did, some seats became available. We were served drinks in a reasonable amount of time and then NEVER SAW OUR BARTENDER AGAIN (he was mostly working the other end of the bar but we were not able to get the attention of the other bartender either). We finally asked the barback for our second round. He was nice enough but seemed unfamiliar with the wines/liquors. Finally, after we had been there two hours, our bartender checked on us, just in time to close our tab. Delachaise, two bartenders is not enough on a Saturday night, especially now that you've added additional seating outside. Please fix this. I look forward to spending many more evenings with you, hopefully when you are more appropriately staffed.

    I love the atmosphere indoors and out. It's a great location and has unique architecture. The menu is hit or miss. I recomend the shrimp clemenceau and the goose fat french fries. I was disappointed in the sazerac oysters. I found them bland. There's good wine selection, but I had a bad experience with a Malbac, which is one of my favorite wines. I suspect the wine had gone bad. I'm not a wine connoisseur, I just know what I like and what tastes good to me. This Malbec was acidic and almost grainy. I didn't feel confident enopugh to complain, that's not my style anyway. I just wount order Malbec there again. I've been satisfied with the pinot noir that I've selected on later visits. They also have a great beer selection. Great place for a date night!! I usually get 3 small plates and split.

    Unreal selection of liquors, completely unreal quality small plates -- it's not often that I can't figure out HTF a dish was made, but there must be pure wisdom, or magic juice, or something, put into every dish. They're fabulous and I'm at a complete loss for how to recreate them -- at an entirely unpretentious bar that almost has a dive-feel, because all styles of dress, ages of patrons, and moods are appropriate. My new favorite NOLA bar! Good job guys!

    Seriously, one of the best places in New Orleans. Even though nowadays you can barely find a place to stand, much less sit. I remember the good ole' days, violating every H.R. policy by getting hammered with my Delmonico Staff. Great Cheese selection, great liquor selection, and if you're a bit overextended, always some great deals on wine. I won't go on and complain about how douchy the crowd can be at times. Face facts people douchebags spend money chasing the ladies. It's nature at work. Just suck it up, and get a few free cocktails out of the deal. Food=Great, Drinks=Great, Evans wardrobe=Pimp! 'Nuff said!

    So I like to drink nice wines and eat fancy pub food. There is always a really decent glass of wine here for very little money offered any night of the week. I can't stand stanky wine and you have to be careful in this town. I'm never disappointed with the food either. I think the fries are cooked in duck fat. Not sure about that but whatever they are cooked in I want to coat my pillow with it at night as I sleep.

    Delachaise 3405 St. Charles Ave. (Uptown on St. Charles Streetcar Line) delachaise.com Reason: A charming night to spend with friends around fine alcohol and artisan cheeses. Drink: $5 daily wines are always a great steal Drank: French 75 Drunk: The liquor selection is immense; seek out a unique gin or scotch you've yet to try. mindless musings: If we're friends, it's likely we've shared a drink together at Delachaise. If we're good friends, it's likely we've shared a cheese plate as well. Our darling Delachaise gets it right time and time again. And let us add a disclaimer that this opinion of adoration lies completely independent from the on-again, off-again bartender love triangle x 5 which one LOCer happens to be involved in. Nor is it relevant that because of this love triangle that our drinks are frequently comp'ed. Nope, attractive bartenders and free drinks are just an added bonus. At Delachaise we were lucky enough to form a list of people who easily became the biggest supporters of our drinking habits and of our pocket books. The list went a little something like this: - friends of friends that think you're cute - bartenders that think you're cute - those whom you're actually dating - those whom that feel guilty that they stopped dating you - your current roommate's ex - your current roommate's ex that she is now currently dating - your current roommate's ex that is now also currently your roommate - your current roommate's ex that screwed her over yet once again - chefs that have always had a thing for your current roommate Sadly, over the last month or so, practically all these options ran out and we actually had an experience in which we were required to pay for our bill in its entirety (We were appalled. Even worse, we even had a female birthday in the group. And do you know how hard girls take it when they don't get free drinks on their birthdays? Exactly, there was an episode.) Therefore, we refrained from visiting Delachaise for a month or so... and then one of our roommates and her ex started dating again... But even if you aren't lucky(?) enough to experience any of Delachaise's delectable drama, you're sure experience many other delectable qualities about this bar. I.e., we've still found countless reasons to visit the bar regardless of the status of the list listed above. In particular, our favorite time to visit Delachaise is at night and our favorite area to drink in the night is the outdoor patio. It's amazing how a few strings of twinkling Christmas lights can bring a soft elegance to this otherwise underwhelming area (you practically forget that you're sitting on rackety patio furniture with nothing but a neighboring gas station and a street car line for ambiance.) Maybe it's all the wine we drink, the fabulous food we eat, or the great people that accompany us here - but there is a distinct feeling that overcomes us every time we're enjoying ourselves on that patio. It's as if we're nestled away in a quaint, romantic spot of the city in which everyone around us is experiencing the same soft appreciation of life as we are. Of course, as you venture inside, it is much more upbeat with the hustle and bustle of bartenders trying to wait on the impatient nightly crowd. The one downside to Delachaise is the long, oval shape of the bar that takes up much of the inside space, and the fact that you must order all food and drinks from this here bar. You can wait 20 minutes to place your order at 9pm on a Friday and this high activity level can last well until 1am - definitely detracting from the delicate appeal mentioned above. Yet, be patient and take pleasure in the fact that, just like you, many others have made their way out to appreciate this gem of a bar. But don't be too patient...! Speak up, order our drinks and hurry back to our table outside! We're sick of awkwardly not making eye contact with the awful saxophonist who we somewhat enjoy until he goes around asking for money! "Laissez les bon temps rouler" - LOC Lovers of Love Triangles (Proud LoveOurCityNOLA Team Members) Insider Tip: (1)As mentioned, all food and drinks must be ordered at the bar and on a Friday and Saturday night you will begin to notice your soul painfully trying to escape from your body as you wait to order beer after beer. Thus, if you're with a group, have one person go inside to order each round. Or else choose a strong drink that you can sip on over a long period (FYI a double vodka water with lime is not the way to achieve this. Bleh.)

    Somehow until recently I have never actually eaten here- which makes me realize I have been missing out! I like the vibe this place gives off and I never fail to have a great time catching up with friends. Started off with a nice wine and a cheese place- was not disappointed! The mussels were also very good and quite a large portion, definitely enough for a meal. I had a special - I can't quite remember the name, but it was gnocchi. And oh my it was delicious! Served with a red sauce and some slow cooked pork goodness. If this is being offered again, I highly recommend!

  • Y. C.

    It is a bar, but has nice seating areas indoors and in the patio, and serves full-size entrees until 2AM! A great place for a late night dinner date. Indoor dining areas can be too noisy, but outdoor seating facing St. Charles can be quite nice depending on the weather. Cuban twice-cooked pork (moderately priced) was one of the best dishes I had in NOLA. Highly recommended. But note that it is a bar, and all the orders and payments are taken at the bar. Although servers bring food to your table, there is little table-side service, which may actually be a good thing too.

    Delachaise is exactly what I want out of a wine bar - plus more. The wine selection is good here, but it's nice that a full bar services the venue. I've been here for the occasional glass of wine, but the best time was a Gin and Tonic sort of an evening, making for an interesting night in a dream-like atmosphere. I think Delachaise sets the mood for a laid back, slightly romantic evening. Not in the sense that it's the best date spot in town (although it's in the running), but that being on the patio along St. Charles while the sun is going down almost makes one feel like they are buzzed amongst Tinkerbell's stopping grounds (which to me, sounds pretty magical). The service is excellent. My bartenders have always been friendly and generous, giving suggestions, charging reasonable amounts, and ensuring that the guests are entertained and satisfied. The food is also delicious - even the fries. This will continue to be a place that I habit on relaxing evenings in my neighborhood.

    I've always been a fan of Delachaise. It's a cozy little nook. Best variety cheese plate in the city IMO. Great parings and the specialty waiters actually know what they're talking about with the cheese delivery. I've been several times and ordered different types of cheese. I'm not a "stinky" cheese fan but have a girlfriend that is, she ordered an "extra stinky" cheese plate. Meh... My preference is the milder flavored creamy ones and the waiters are happy to help you choose. Love the small plates, steak is a fave. Pomme frittes are excellent. Some people love their grilled cheese sandwiches. They're okay. Seating can be a challenge, especially with groups but standing really isn't a problem. Service has always been good, even when busy. Sometimes it's hard to get waited on at the bar if you're 2 or 3 people deep, but if you cozy up to a seated guest, they usually help you out. Outdoor seating is nice in cool weather or they have umbrellas to keep you from melting in the heat, otherwise stay inside. Parking is in the street, may have to walk a few blocks on a busy night. Guys, be a hero, drop her off at the door if she's wearing heels... thankkksss

    Delachaise is one of the more interesting venues to visit Uptown. It has been doing the same thing all of the new "Gastropubs" were doing years before anybody decided to call a bar serving semi-fancy food that silly name. The food is generally a bit pricey and ranges from average to very excellent with frequently changing items. They also offer several cheese plate selections that are very nice quality. The food seems to be more of a French Bistro style than what has been done at the other "Gastropub" incarnations. They unfortunately don't offer Abita Amber but they generally do have some very good wine and some German beers that will satisfy me. The charm and curse of this place is the long and narrow architecture of the building that limits seating and allows it to easily get crowded. The bathroom situation really doesn't do well with crowds. Service can be slow when the bar is crowded and if I can't get a seat at the bar I just go elsewhere as I'm not waiting that long. The crowd is variable and some nights it is great and other nights I have no clue what alien planet landed their ship outside the bar and let their refugees out. It is certainly a good place to hang out if you can get I seat and I prefer the less crowded times.

    It isn't a dive. And it ain't a speakeasy. This bar is a more romantic variety, which is always nice. Who doesn't need a bit of romance in their life? What goes better together than romance and drinking? :) It isn't lowly and depraved, you see, because it is bathed in the nostalgic glow of a a Parisian "bar au vin" except that one finds this little alcove on St. Charles Avenue with the Street car passing by in the window. Midnight in Paris, move over because La Delachaise is the sort of NOLA bar where stories happen, classy stories, people!, where random encounters turn into lifelong friends and persistent lovers, where your dreams become a slightly twisted version of their original Disneyesque intentions, enabled by the lubricant of peaty 12 year old scotch. The interior decor is somewhere between French cafe and boxcar, and with a bit of light and a bit of class, and the grand avenue with the grand southern mansions just outside, an altogether winning combination, and all in all a real swell place to have a drink. If you want to get drunk, and you want it to be lovely, and do not give a $&%$ how much it is gonna cost you, or if you want to find a corner table with dim lighting, and shift your friendship into romance, La Delachaise is alright. You feel kinda embarrassed even bringing up the issue of price when talking about an establishment as soulful as this one. I mean the rent along St. C can't be cheap, and you want, need DLC to survive, now don't you? Cuz Columns down the block has already been invaded by the devil. Maybe DLC has been invaded too. But when I asked what kind of scotch I should order, it stimulated a conversation all along the bar, barmen joining in to offer the last word. You see, they have a heck'of a collection. If you come alone, don't worry, because with a bit of effort, you'll make friends easily enough. The patrons and the waitstaff are friendly although the latter is occasionally out-gunned, overrun by the natives, and by the tourists who seem to trickle in from the nearby hotels... sigh. Last time we were there, we got real friendly with some group who had come in to NOLA from Austin to give their buddy a big send off before le marriage. Speaking of French, they have a great winelist. Besides, La Delachaise is an institution, a refuge from the storm for any uptown Mardi Gras, parade when this little beautiful box of a bar seems even more like Heaven. One of the most romantic bars in NOLA . . . idn't it? Plus, their French fries and other delices are awesome (although slightly over price). Location, location, location. You are paying for that and the vibe, but at LA DLC it is kinda worth it?

  • Ashley A.

    Let me preface this review by explaining that I'm a local bartender who is extremely particular about the establishments I spend my time in. I've been working in the service industry in N.O. for ten years. I frequent the Delachaise about once every two months. The reason for this is because you cannot enjoy yourself there without spending a bit of money. One glass of wine (just ask for the House whatever...they'll give you the best one because they don't want their choice to reflect badly) runs about 7-9 dollars. A small plate is about 13 and of course you'll need two or three to accompany your two or three glasses of wine. Your bill will easily hit 80 or more buckaroos. It's COMPLETELY WORTH IT. I come to Delachaise to have their salmon johnnycakes. Literally the best thing I've ever eaten in New Orleans. The goose fat pomme frites annoy me....because they're amazeballs!! I dream about them at night. I dip out of parties on St. Charles because Delachaise is close by and I can get pomme frites. The peanut sauce?!?!?! STOP IT. The grilled cheese? Ridiculously rich and crispy--dipped in the tomato soup it's truly truly excellent. I have never, ever had a bad food experience. A word on the bartenders. Yes, they tend to be *annoyed* that you're there. But probably because your making them stand there and listen while you ask which Californian Cab pairs best with your steak bruschetta. B*TCH just pick a wine. It all goes down the same. These bartenders don't have time to hold your hand and wipe your butt, and if they do, they don't care to. This isn't some touristy quarter bar that specializes in Sazaracs. This is the kind of bar where you yell over the heads of people to the bartender "give me a bottle of dry Savingon Blanc and two glasses--here's my card!" My advice to patrons is to KNOW WHAT YOU WANT when they come to take your order. Give them your entire order at once! Pay for everything up front with cash and tip them GOOD. Your food will come out perfect and fast and if you need anything later, they'll remember you. In fact, I hope more people DON'T go to Delachaise...it's crowded enough already and I love it so much I want to keep it all for myself. I hope the bartenders weed out annoying patrons who feel like they need one-on-one baby time.

    Mussels in broth happens to be something that I feel I MUST get if it's on a menu at a well-acclaimed restaurant. Usually the broth is crack. I have experienced this and written about my mussel-broth-crack addiction in two previous reviews, and I was looking for a fix. Delachaise provided me with the opportunity and I took it, guns a blazing, tiny mussel fork in hand, waiting to suck down some serious shellfish and broth crack. WELL, their broth was so sodium-laden I could not get through it. It actually got caught in my throat when I tried to use the bread to soak it up (one of my favorite pastimes). Ouch. This makes me sad. Overall, the experience is ok-- everyone raves about the fries, they're fries-- you know? Tasty fries. The prices are pretty extravagant for the lack of friendly service and the fighting over tables you have to do. I'm just extra judgey because I didn't get my fix and you know how the jones' make ya bitchy. Thus, mussels, I'm looking for you elsewhere... may your broth be salty but not to the point where I feel like I'm going to shrivel up like a snail.

    I had no idea I'd not reviewed the Delachaise. It is one of my favorite places to hang out both with friends and alone. I have spent many a Saturday afternoon having a glass of Chianti, reading a good book, and listening to the hiss and pop of the streetcars wobbling down the Avenue. I have also spent many an evening having a lovely converstaion with a great friend or friends. The wine selection by the glass is pretty good, by the bottle better. The food is very interesting and very tasty. My favorite menu items are the cheese plate, flank steak bruschetta, frog legs, and pomme frites. I can't say I'm a big fan of the eggplant cannolis which sound better than they taste nor of the mussels which are overpowered by too much citrus and what I seem to remember was lemongrass. And I will say that lately I find the dishes not executed as well as they used to be. Of course, that could just be the New Orleanian in me--nothing is as good as it used to be. Regardless, it is still one of my go to places.

    Wow a true gem! Luckily our first night in Nola we were staying at the Hubbard Mansion (check my profile to see my review!) across the street. I found Delachaise through the Nola Eater 38. Our first night in town we decided to start things off with a little cheese plate and some wine. I love the ambiance of this place. Unfortunately the weather wasn't quite warm enough to sit outside, but looks like the little seating area there would be lovely and a nice night. We got a cozy spot though inside and ordered some delicious glasses of wine. We enjoyed ourselves so much, that we ended up staying here for a couple hours even though our intention was to just do a stop in before heading to Frenchman street. We couldn't tear ourselves away though, just soaking up the scene and some delightful Basque wine. The reason why I am giving this 4 stars and not 5, is because I wasn't blown away by the cheese. We may be partially to blame for that, perhaps we just didn't order correctly, but we only really loved one cheese. Although the hot bread it came with was wonderful. Well worth a stop if you are in the area, and if you are not, worth going out of your way!

    Delachaise, oh I fucking love you. I love your little quaint decor. I love your selection of cheeses. I love you wine list, your booze, your everything. If you came with a penis, I'd marry you. Cozy spot with a great menu. Everything on the menu is good. This place does tend to get busy. I don't blame them, the prices are very reasonable. Come in seat your fucking self and order at the bar... They give you a table number.. Your food comes out. Service gets busy but they know wtf they are doing. There's also plenty of pretty people here.

    Delicious fries, though a bit salty. Loved the dipping sauce. I had the best ham and Brie sandwich EVER, it had arugula stuffed in the middle of it which made for a nice crunchy taste. Thought it was kinda weird that you had to order at the bar ... I got water so of course there were no refills, though I suppose I could have gone up to the bar for one. Wasn't sure how much to tip either since they bring you the food and that's about it. Big selection of beer and wine though we didn't drink that night, too.

    I've been to Delachaise on a few different occasions. I've been with J to enjoy a quiet outdoor dinner, we've been for a late night snack and drinks and I've been just for cocktails. Every time I'm here I have a great time. There's nothing amazing about this place but also nothing terrible. It's super close to J's house so that's why we visit so often. The staff is generally a little stuck up and rude so you'll have to get past that if you care to visit. I wish they were a little more helpful when it comes to suggesting drinks since they have such a large selection, oh well! During my first visit I tried the Pommes Frites (fried in goose fat) and yes I'm a vegetarian but all the reviews talked about them so I felt like I was missing out on something. They were delicious but I could feel my arteries clogging while I ate them. It's a nice splurge every once in awhile. We've also tried the Eggplant Cannolis (Grilled Eggplant with Piped in Ricotta, Chevre, Herbs, & served w/ Muhammara) and they were delicious. I normally get the Grilled Cheese Anabella (asiago pressato, fiore sardo & our house made apple butter on semolina) because it's really the only main course that a veggie can eat. The food is generally good but definitely over priced. Being able to walk down St. Charles a few blocks and enjoying a beer with J is well worth it and we'll definitely be back.

    This is mainly a wine place but the Goat can drink his vodka here and they make very good vodka drinks. They don't have good Vegan food here and everything is covered or fried in goose or duck fat or cheese plates. Very many kind and wholesome good looking women seem to frequent this place and Goat is sure they would appreciate more wholesome good Vegan options to make their hearts happy and blood pressure low and avoid all the obese diabetic unhealthy diet of too much unhealthy food eaten in mass quantities. Be happy like the Goat and have wine and vodka but watch out for the food that isn't the Vegan feast! Two girls got very drunk and spilled their champagne on the Goat here and teased him about not wanting to share their cheese or goose fries. The Goat does NOT do the Goose Step!!!

    Came here for a nice glass of wine and a bite after work. Because really, one can only have so much Miller High Life (I know that's not true, but you know what they say about variety). I admit I don't know a TON about wine, but the "by the glass" list didn't leave me wanting anything. I had plenty to choose from, and had two glasses of a Spanish Tempranillo. It was great. The food was even better. Goose fat fries, olives, and the frog legs. Everything was well cooked, well seasoned, and tasted great. I would absolutely come here again, both to eat and drink. Thoroughly enjoyed it.

    Four stars for location, ambiance, and their bar/patio space. Three starts for cheeses. Zero starts for their men's bathroom. Even though I live pretty close to Delachaise, I hadn't been there in the last year. In looking for something other than the same'ol places we go to, we decided to go in for some wine and cheese. In arriving as per usual, the seating area was lively with lots of people having a good time enjoying their drinks. Ordered the five cheese plate and a couple of drinks-- sat down and the food came out pretty quickly. The cheeses were good, served with bread and spicy walnuts, but I think it would have been better if there was a preservative/jelly of some sort as well. On our way out I decided to use the men's bathroom... now, just to preface my past experience with bathrooms-- I'm not a person that requires much. I've been to very poor countries around the world (think rural Bolivia bus station) and managed just fine. But when I opened Delachaise's men's bathroom door and turned on the light-- it was like someone had dropped a cockroach bomb in there. At least 15-20 of different sizes and colors all over the floor advancing towards me as if I had walked in without invitation into their space. I instantly opted to apologetically retreat. Still, one brave roach stood up to me on behalf of the gaggle and attacked. While I'm not proud of what happened next, suffice to say I did what had to be done. But you have to understand, it was me or him! On a positive side, my GF said the lady's room was just fine-- though I have no personal knowledge of its state.

    Best wine menu in New Orleans. Not extremely extensive, but smartly put together. Want to impress some winos; bring them here. The beer and liquor is very well put together. Food is very good! I wouldn't recommend large groups because the place is pretty small, but groups of 4-6 works.

    Cool place, nice music, great out side seating.... There's a few eccentric characters here, but that's what keeps it interesting. My friend ordered us Moscow mules... This was my first Moscow mule and it was delicious. This is a nice shoot to hang with friends.... Of they talk loud because it's quite noisy

    The lady friend has turned me into a wine drinker against my earlier wishes. I quite enjoy it now and like places that I can try a variety of wines by the glass. Delachaise is primarily a wine bar where you can do just that along with eat, and/or get a beer or cocktail. The bar is long and the seating is somewhat limited inside on weekend nights. There is an outdoor seating area in the front on the St Charles St side with adequate heating lamps in the winter months. Perfect place to watch the streetcars fgo by while enjoying their great fries with a cocktail or glass of vino.

    So food was decent once we got it, but everything else was horrible and my friend and I went out of our ways to not eat here any other time during our stay even though it was the closest place to our hotel. First off, you go in and the people who work here just walk by you with no recognition that you are visiting their establishment. Very awkwardly stood by the doors, then we sat decided to grab a table and sat down when no one acknowledged us. Then realized after 5-10 minutes of sitting at the table that there is no table service and food is ordered at the bar. Which I'm not opposed to and can understand. What I don't understand is how the people bringing you food basically drops the food at your table and tries to get away as quick as they can so they don't have to deal with customers or customer requests. My friend managed to insert a request before our guy practically ran back to the kitchen to hide. She asked for a water refill, no biggie and takes all of 2 minutes since it's a small place. The guy tells us we need to head to the bar for a water refill and he slinks off. Is it really that difficult to take the glass and refill it with water??? It seems like this place hires people who do not like customer service and do not know how to interact with others. if the food was great, I might be able to persuade myself to eat there again, but the food wasn't great. So why go to a place that offers mediocre food, and subpar service?

    This is a perfect little date place. Good food and great ambiance. Too bad for the bartenders who really ruin it for this place. Went on a Thursday night and the bartenders were absolutely miserable. Every time we'd order another drink they'd roll their eyes like it wasn't their job to pour you a drink. We sat with empty glass for too long. Miles was the only friendly bartender. The other guy and woman working that night should probably find a new profession.

    Good location. Good space. Great outdoor seating on this first Fall like night. Great wine selections and good food choices. Five stars right? Bartenders kill the vibe. Staff behind the bar were like.... "Night of the living dead." The coldest and most lacking of service skills folks I have encountered in the business. But don't forget to tip!

  • Janie T.

    Great food! We had the steak with Pomme frites and muscles with Pomme frites. The steak was cooked well which reminded me of my mom's homemade steak. The butter was a bit too salty so it made the steak too salty which sort of ruined the balance since the fries were also salted. The Pomme frites were delicious and nicely crunchy. The muscles were good as well. Very acidic broth which I think complemented the muscles well. It wasn't too hard to grab our own seating; we arrived around 6:45-7pm. The table was sort of on uneven ground and my knee hit the table a bit too much and I spilled my Lambic all over myself but they kindly replaced my Lambic. Oh I almost forgot the cheese and pate plates! Delicious!! We had a party of four and this was pretty good portion size. Highly recommend.

    This place is a must for late night dinning. Serving a full menu until midnight most days. The delachaise also has a killer by the glass program. And the bar tenders will gladly pair a glass with anything from a cheese plate to a lamb burger.

  • Catherine C.

    I don't care what else you order, but you must order the fries. This place is my go to bar for any attitude. It's relaxed enough to pass as casual, with a nice enough ambiance to pass as classy. Crowd is young professional (25-40), drink selections is amazing, food is even better. Tons of outdoor seating with heaters, indoors can get pretty crowded.

    I'm definitely a fan of Delachaise, and will be returning again. I started with the cheese plate and white wine - which like any other cheese plate, was scrumptious for this cheese lover. I didn't care too much for the pile of corn nuts that tagged along. Next I tried the mussels (moules et frites), which came freshly steamed in a decadent broth complete with lime leaves, cherry tomatoes, and thai chili. It also came with their lovely goose-fat fries on the side. Later, I couldn't resist snatching a bite of their lamb burger (pictured below). It was good too. The food, as you can see was great. The wine was great too! But, why 4 stars and not 5? The reason is due to the ambiance... The location is great, down St. Charles Ave., but the ambiance is somewhat like an old school diner, however instead of eggs and hash browns, there's a bar filled with wine and a kitchen filled with cheese. The narrow bar is a bit too narrow for my taste if they're going to have unopened boxes of unknown stuff cluttering the hallway. They've got strings of old christmas tree lights hanging, that aren't even turned on to give the illusion of christmas cheer. I think they could really use a decorator, to make the outside fit what's going inside (the food). Their food is great, but it's cheapened by their decor.

    If I could put fewer stars I would. This place ruined my night with absolutely terrible service; I get ordering from the bar, but "forgetting" to put my order in and being cavalier about the mistake an HOUR afterward just lost these guys extremely loyal customers. Not to mention it RUINED my last night with my boo before she moves. Never again.

    After the noise and commotion on Bourbon st. We were looking for something more refined. The walk was soooooo worth it. We took the double decker bus over to the garden district shops and just walked over. They played really fun music from the 70s 80s and on up to current. The wine list was terrific too. We started out with a glass of wine and the cheese plate. We left the chef choose but begged him not to choose goat cheese. He did a wonderful job. We then over dosed with the most gorgeous and delicious grilled cheese ever imagined or ingested. TRY IT. We ended with their crime brûlée which deserves its own personal review but I am too lazy. Go eat and enjoy!

  • Kim-Thao H.

    Why didn't I give Delachaise 5 stars the first time around? I honestly have no idea. It really has become my go-to spot for delicious late night food and drinks. You MUST get the Flank Steak Bruschetta, Moules et Frites, Steak Frites, and if you're not hungry, you MUST at least get the Duck Fat Pommes Frites. They're out of this world! And the sauces that accommodate them make it the perfect concoction. They also offer a vast selection of excellent wines that will acquire to anyone's preferences. And if you're not into wine, they also offer good beers and alcohol for all. I'm a red wine kind of gal and the Malbec served here has to be one of the best I've tried. So deliciously smooth and full-bodied. I love how charming and relaxed the atmosphere is. It makes for a great place to hang out with friends and indulge in numerous conversations. Delachaise always guarantees a wonderful time. If you haven't been, GO! P.S. Delachaise tends to get pretty crowded, even on weekdays so try to come early for a good spot.

  • Caitlin C.

    This is a nice place for a happy hour. They have some $5 glasses of wine. The fries, as everyone says, are amazing. I thought that $16 was slightly pricey for the mussels and fries combo but it was certainly enough to split between two people. It is very popular, so can be a bit crowded and noisy. The staff are very nice and I will go again, though it is far from my neighborhood, because I have a friend it is convenient for.

  • Ashlee H.

    I gave this place 4 stars only because the bartenders are a bit absent considering there are no servers and you have to order everything through the bar. They have a full patio and bar plus cocktail tables. Bartenders and food runners that's it. CMON!!!! (You know the basics guys) Anywho the food is BANGIN!!! I had Johnny cakes, flank bruschetta and spicy frog legs. Everything was prepared perfectly although I do think the bruschetta needs a little more acid but it's still delicious. It's a cool spot, a little uppity but who cares when the food is excellent. Get some servers, improve service skills and THIS PLACE COULD BE A UNFORGETTABLE!!! I'll be back

    An extensive bar with a huge selection of liquors and wines as well as a great kitchen! This was my first time sitting down to eat at Delachaise. It's usually so packed on the weekends, and so I've just grabbed a cocktail or glass of wine and some of their goose fat fries to enjoy, usually on the small patio and listen as the streetcars rattle by every once in a while. This day, the weather wasn't so great, and the crowd was lighter, though still a good bit of people in there. We were lucky enough to score an inside spot in the front curved area. This place resembles the shape of a streetcar in it's design, kinda cool right there on St. Charles. I love eating out with Joi because she sneaks veggies into my diet. This time she did it through the grilled eggplant cannolis and their cup of assorted olives. I don't even like olives, and I was going to town on these. I think I ate all the caperberries (taste like giant capers). The eggplant was canoodling with chevre and ricotta. I was only going to have a bite, but somehow a whole cannoli made its way into the depths of my belly. I love that it was grilled and not fried. Go Joi! We also had an assorted cheese plate that the waiter was extremely, and I'm talking EXTREMELY well educated on. I most enjoyed the cave-aged cheese. No idea what it was called so I failed Cheese 101 but not for lack of a good teacher. We also shared the mussels, which I ate 75 percent of between 4 people. I'm going to say it...Best in Town, and it kills me because there is another place that is a close second. But it's their unique use of ginger (I think) that gives it a floral "spicy" kick that is sometimes lacking in mussels. And they give you ample bread and fries to dip into the delicious goodness. Thank God I didn't have a straw. My only gripe is that there isn't any table service. You do have to order from the bar, and though the staff is very attentive, I still wish they were able to provide ordering from tables. Also, mini word of advice, there are a few people around the area that ask for money outside (totally unassociated with the restaurant) just to let you know. But, occasionally, there is a saxophone player (also unassociated with the restaurant) but not too shabby if you want to throw him a bone.

    This place gets 4.5 stars. It's the perfect place to have a second date. Very romantic and a wide selection of wines and liquors. My wife loves to come here and order a cheese plate.

    Took my annual trip to New Orleans and as always made it a point to go here . Nothing's changed. It's great . Best part is the outdoor seating. Even though you are right on a busy street (St Charles) and a sidewalk with quite a variety of passerbys, it has a charm . It's delightful.

    Horrible experience... . This time I'm playing tourist in New Orleans where I am a little more than a tourist, since I lived in NOLA for several years. We got in late and were just looking for something to go. I ordered a pate plate. The pate tasted like rubber. When the order came out it came out to be served at a table. Same with the cannolis. No napkins or utensils.

    What if I told you I knew the secret regaining happiness after being delayed and having your bags lost? Well that secret is eating here at 11:30 PM on a week night. A friend requested me to find a place still open after I arrived five hours late to New Orleans. Using my Yelp super powers, this place came up as well rated and open late. The atmosphere was pretty relaxed and seemed to be made up of a lot of couples and a few groups of friends. I tried to order the special but they were out of the meat, so I got the muscles. After the first bite, I found myself forgetting I was stranded in New Orleans until my bags were found. Then I'd remember and smile, knowing that meant I could eat here again!

  • Lauren W.

    Not a huge menu - mostly designed for drinking and chatting. I got the grilled cheese, made with asiago and served with apple slices. It was tasty, but I don't think i'd pay $11 for it again. Cutesy, trendy spot serving good (but over-priced) food.

    I was kind of over being in New Orleans on the last night of our trip, so we decided to take the St. Charles Streetcar and explore a few parts of the city that we hadn't already seen. I spotted the Delachaise while we were in motion and demanded that we stop by (having no idea what it was) on our way back to the French Quarter. I am so, So, SO very glad we stopped. If I were to be reincarnated as a wine bar, I would want to be reincarnated as The Delachaise. I loved everything from the architecture of the building to the chalkboard menus and random Christmas lights everywhere. They have an amazing selection of wine and their by-the-glass pricing is very reasonable. We sat at a small table next to the bar and enjoyed the music, people watching and the ambiance in general. I wish we'd found this little gem earlier in our trip! If we ever find ourselves back in the Crescent City, The Delachaise will be our first stop!

    Order your food/drinks at the bar, then find your own table. Quaint outdoor patio with a sign that says no food or drink outside. But, once you order, they tell you that they'll bring your food to you outside if you want to sit out there. While the ordering process is a little weird, the food is fantastic. Got the shrimp Bangkok style. It was fantastic! While I was eating at the bar, two other people came up to order, looked at my plate and chose that as their meal because it smelled so good. A little pricey. $6 for a glass of beer on tap

    Love love love love love this place. I've been meaning to try it for a seriously long time and the perfect opportunity presented itself tonight. My friend L and I wanted to do something but didn't know what. We did know that we wanted drinks and food, so we searched for late night bites and Delachaise came up in the search. It was about 11 pm so we checked to make sure the kitchen was still open and then we were on our way. I was half expecting a wait but the late night thing played out in our favor. There was no wait, we ordered our bottle of wine and 3 items from the food menu and went to sit down. We were sipping on the Riesling and talking and before we knew it, our food was brought to our table. First, the mussels. Oh the mussels. What a great sauce! We dipped the fries AND the bread that came with in the sauce and it wasn't enough so we started using the bread from another dish. L wanted a little more of a kick so we asked for hot sauce and we were presented with some Thai chili sauce that the chef/cook who brought our food out went back and whipped out. Second, the shrimp clemenceau. Also very good. I knew it was in a curry sauce but the thickness of it still surprised me somewhat when I was fishing for the potatoes and peas in the sauce. Lastly, the flank steak bruchettas. These are not bruchettas. They are sandwich size. I love flank steak so I was looking forward to these but the marinade was very mild, especially compared to the two other dishes that were very flavorful. Absolutely loved my experience and I will definitely be back.

    Came here on New Years Eve. I've never been here but I have passed if many times like others always putting it on my "Try it one day list." It was late and NYE, Superior Seafood had a 2 hour wait at 9:30 so we rolled down St. Charles to stop at Delachaise. We ordered at the crowded bar then sat outside next to the fire "flame"...don't think on a cold night that it's going to keep the patio warm, it's mostly just for show. The Steak Brushetta was one of the best guilty pleasure meals I've had in a damn long time. Awesome wine selection. I will be back to bring people in simply for the Steak Bruchetta, tender slices of steak upon perfectly crunchy fresh toasted bread slices with a Cilantro garlic creamy aioli that is out of this world. This is the MUST get dish. Everything else was great as well, a little Thai inspired and unexpected. A random and loaded man walks by and starts playing the saxophone in a bad way. He was disrupting all of the outside table. I finally have him some money and asked him if he could take it elsewhere because it was to loud. He just walked to the other side of the patio and continued living in his world of pretending he was a famous sax player. Walk up bar service only.

    Delachaise has good food (although don't expect a full meal if you're a big eater) and a great selection of wines by the glass. They also have good selections of hard liquors...except last time I went, they couldn't find bottles for the first 2 bourbons I requested. And Mr. Euro bartender was tres annoyed with me. Whatever. But they stay at 4 stars for becoming non-smoking last year. Honestly I had stopped going after the time I came out smelling like I had rolled in an ashtray.

    While I have eaten here, it's been years (although I do remember it being good food), so this is just a review of The Delachaise as a place to grab a drink. On a Tuesday we decided to go to The Delachaise to just grab a drink before dinner. I had a good Rose and the selection of beer is ample--considering this place bills itself as a wine bar. To that end, the wine list is relatively extensive but well curated. The atmosphere at the Delachaise--at least for me--is the perfect combination of "a little bit classier" and laid back. It feels relaxed, romantic and cozy but also vibrant and fun. One of my favorite places in NOLA. I've never had a problem with service, although it is true that you have to order at the bar (as there is no table service). I have also always known exactly what I wanted so I'm not sure if the servers/bartenders are friendly and helpful in guiding you in drink selections. Anyway, make sure you're ready to order at the bar and then have a good time!

    We went to delachaise at about 8 on a Saturday night. We weren't looking to spend a ton of money on good food, and we'd heard positive things. When we got here, it was PACKED! The kitchen was backed up about 35 minutes, so we knew we were in for a wait. It took thr bartender about 10 minutes to notice us, which irked me. We ordered the steak frites, the grilled cheese arabella, a side of the French fries, and the creme Brulee of the day. The pomme frites got here first and they were excellent! I wasn't huge on the aoli, though - it tasted like mayo. The other sauce was quite good. It had an interesting Asian taste that my boyfriend described as addictive. Next was the grilled cheese, which was so good that my boyfriend informed me he'd be leaving me for the chef. In my opinion, there should have been a touch more apple, but I am a fruit addict. The cheese was delicious and perfectly melty, and the bread was the perfect compliment. The steak came a few moments after - the kitchen backup must not have been that bad! It was cooked very well and the butter sauce was tasty, but the best part was MORE FRITES. The creme brulee of the evening was vanilla bourbon. I LOVE creme brulee and have it everywhere. Unfortunately, this wasn't quite as good as it could have been. I would have preferred a less pronounced bourbon taste and a slightly thicker custard; however, this is me nitpicking. It was still good! Overall, I quite liked Delachaise! They lose a star because of rude service and the heavy bourbon hand, but I'll definitely be back again!

    This is the worst place I have ever been. The owner/manager is the most unprofessional person I have ever encountered at a restaurant. He ran a table of 6 out of his restaurant patio because our party had a sleeping child with us after the manager said it was no problem and that we all could sit on the patio. We were all looking to eat and drink for a while there. This owner/manager is awful. You lost some extremely loyal customers.

    The Universe brought me to the doors of this cozy wine bar on a rainy winter's night. You see, we had originally planned to grab a bite by our hotel in the French Quarter but something had knocked out the power so we made a B-Line for anywhere that had electricity! Lights are pretty important when you want to see your food. We ran from our car through a curtain of cold rain to the dimly lit warmth of this little neighborhood wine bar. Although not terrible clean, because our tables had not been bussed, or upscale in any way, this spot reminds me of lovely cafes I've enjoyed in Paris. We ordered a bunch of items from the menu and each one was delightful. Marinated olives, ricotta stuffed eggplant and a ridiculous cheese plate which danced a tango in your mouth. That's right, I said it danced a tango. Our waiter explained each cheese in detail but all I heard was: "Twenty months aged, blah blah blah blah, cheese, cheese, cheese." I'm sorry, I was still suffering from the trauma that I might need to sleep in a dark haunted hotel room. Oddly enough the dish I enjoyed immensely was their matzah ball soup that was their special for the night. Maybe it was the stormy weather or the cold howling wind or my being homesick for my family, but I enjoyed that pimped out chicken soup more than I've ever enjoyed another bowl of soup before. It was a soul experience to say the least and it made my heart fly with happiness. And the two glasses of wine I had probably didn't hurt my mood either. Great spot for a date because everyone looks good in that lighting but the food still feels refined and thoughtful. Come with friends or a lover or heck, by yourself and enjoy a night where everything you eat feels like you're holding hands while walking down a cobble stone road down the Champs Elysees. Except for the matzah ball soup, that just feels like Mom is hugging you.

    It's definitely a fend for yourself. You have to prefer at the bar. Which is fine. But they completely throw you attitude when you ask for napkins, plates or silverware. Not water. And the server that brought the cheese, chef selection, seemed annoyed that we were interested in knowing the THE CHEF chose for us. And by the way the food was fine. Nothing remarkable.

    Didn't have a good go at it. 2.5 stars Everything started off fine... I thought it was some sort of craft cocktail place with all the chalkboards-n-stuff... Then I realized that was just the list of their boos. Why?... Ordered some wine, a couple appetizers... Still doing good. First appetizer comes around. Then an hour passes. Really an hour. We inquired twice and the second appetizer finally came out. I had beef bruschetta and it was terribly, terribly salty. Pretty bad actually. As for the hour wait I grew increasingly disenchanted; with some pretty poor customer service also. Especially from the little guy / bar-backer behind the bar... who, was wearing a T-shirt, lifted the T-shirt to scratch his bare belly, then used the same hands (not washing) to take clean dishes out of the dishwasher. Added to the agitation. If I had received the food in a timely manner and had more attentive service and not seen the scratch belly dude my experience may have been different.

    This has become one of my favorite places in the city. Since my review over 2 years ago, I have tried much of the food, a lot of the wine and some of the beer. Delachaise is the perfect little bistro when you want to enjoy a night out, but you don't want to get overly fancy. My favorites on the food menu are the gourmet grilled cheese and the cheese plate. I have tried many cheeses on the cheese plate and I've always been delighted by my choices. The gourmet grilled cheese is to die for. It's so rich that you can pretty much split it with a friend. I really like the seating area by the window, and it's always a perfect night when I am lucky enough to grab this limited spot. Sitting on the patio is perfect for early evening as the sun begins to set and the night winds down. There is an extensive wine selection so you are sure to find something that suits your tastes.

    1 star for the service! We were aggressively ignored despite our friendly attempts to make eye contact and simply order a glass of wine to take out to the patio. No smiles and just one word answers when they did acknowledge us. If we hadn't taken a taxi all the way over here, we would have turned around and walked out. 4 stars for the cheese plate and wine ... 3 cheeses for $16 ... Voignier and Grenache ... when we finally did get served. If you want to sit on the patio, plan on going back inside to order another drink or some thing more to eat. They don't serve outside. Pleasant patio but kind of weird having a gas station right next door.

    Interesting spot i hit around 10PM. Everyone orders at the bar, wait for your drinks right there, take a number to a table for any food; ordering system works ok, packed place and only took a few min to get orders in. Wine options abound on the menu, I got a bourbon. Weather was great so I grabbed a table outside, seat yourself anywhere you find an opening, in or out. Mussels with frites in duck fat: mussels in a thi style lime broth, a bit over powering flavor and the mussels themselves had meat a little larger than a pea; doubtful i'll order again. Frites in duckfat, maybe the bourbon numbed too many taste buds cuz I didn't experience any unique flavor explosion, just fries. 3 stars just cuz was a fairly bustling and chill spot to strike up a conversation with a fetching fellow patron

    Delachaise is a really nice little spot. Great wine, lovely service, and actually pretty tasty food! It's conveniently located on St. Charles, so you can sip your cocktail or wine right on the street car line (I can imagine tourists love that). I find that the best time to enjoy everything Delachaise has to offer is early on a weekday (~ 5-7pm); otherwise, you're not likely to find a spot to sit unless you're by yourself or with 1-2 other people and can squeeze in somewhere the second a couple people get up to leave.

    I just had one of the top 5 sandwiches in my lifetime here! When you visit, order The Boz-Tuscan ham, Brie, and arugula on ciabatta. Yummy goodness. It's very rich and considering it comes with fries cooked in goose fat this isn't for the faint of heart or stomach! But, it's phenomenal.

    The Delachaise is truly decadent in atmosphere, food, and drinks. It's a wine bar, which you can either get by the glass or bottle. Their selection is extensive. If you're not sure what to get, ask the bartender, and they would be happy to recommend you something. Torn between 2 choices? They did allow me to sample the 2 I was torn between. I would hate to pay for something that I'm not sure if I would like or not. Now onto their food! DELICIOUS! Most recently I came here for a friend's birthday, and I got the Grilled Eggplant Cannolis. SUPERB! Whether you're coming here for date night or just with a small group of friends, you will enjoy this place. I really don't know why I don't come here more often.

    Nice place to meet after work (or after a day of toddler chasing in my case). I had the grilled cheese, which I think had all the cheese in it. After reading all the rave reviews, I had some of the fries. While they were good, I'm not sure they were worth the price tag.

    I went on a quiet night just for drinks. The mood was really nice except for a drunk saxiphonist "playing" who kept interrupting my conversation. Nice ambiance. Good food. Good drinks. Great place for a chill night during the week.

  • JW F.

    Nice enough place but at the end of the day it was simply a bar ( and there are plenty of those here ) with a humorless bartender who hailed from France and was dressed in drag for Carnival w/e. Great costume but you'd of thought he was into the whole Mardi Gras atmosphere what with his get up. It wasn't that crowded ( at first ) when I ordered and whereas most barkeeps in this city are fairly engaging even when slammed w/ customers this guy couldn't be bothered to even mutter a reply or manage a smile of any sort. Not looking for a best friend, just a civil attitude from someone who deals w/ the public everyday. From all the reviews I read it may have been an off day for the guy. Just saying, it colors one's impression of a place and makes you hesitant to return.

    We had a lovely evening there on our last NOLA visit 4 years ago, but this was a real disappointment. We ordered at the bar (that's how it works here). That in itself I am fine with. However, then we went and sat at a table to wait for our food. The "wait staff" is completely indifferent. We had to ask for silverware, plates and napkins. And we were told that if we needed more, we could locate our own utensils at the wait station around the corner. (Wtf???) The waiter who came with our cheese plate had no interest in telling us anything about what we were eating. It all seemed to be quite a bother to him. Then throughout our meal there was a local vagrant man in a wheelchair who moved from table to table talking to everyone and inserting himself into their evening. Needless to say, we won't be back. It's such a shame.

    Quiet wine bar type bar uptown. They will have food specials, it's been a while but I believe I had some type of Duck Sliders, which was very good. Also they have a pretty good wine/beer selection. They don't seem to focus on spirits and specialty mixed cocktails although they do have options. I'd recommend this spot, it's quiet, low key in a really busy area.

    absolutely THE WORST dining experience I've ever had in New Orleans...to clarify: stopped in for dinner and ordered a few drinks and a soup/sandwich from the bartender (who was lovely). Unfortunately, things went downhill very quickly from there. The ticket machine for food was broken, which is completely understandable. However, after 50 minutes of waiting at our table we finally asked a waiter if our food had been forgotten. He explained about the broken machine, which of course we understood, and said the food would be out shortly. Half an hour later we were still waiting on a bowl of soup....No apologies or updates from any of the wait staff. When all the food was finally delivered, we (brashly, I admit) asked if the food would appear on our tab or if we would be comped. The waiter could not have been any harsher in replying that no, we would not be comped and no, we could not continue to eat the t-1 hour 45 minute late food that was in front of us. At which point, he whisked the food away in a huff and all but flipped us the birdie. I have never been more disappointed by a restaurants "service" or wait staff, especially because I had been really optimistic :( That being said, the bartender really was great and the 1/4 of the grilled cheese I ate (and was charged in full for) was delicious. UPDATE: when I called to speak with a manager, a man named Damien answered the phone, heard I wanted to talk to a manager, paused for a moment and changed the tone of his voice PRETENDING to be a manager...don't know what's going on with this place, definitely wouldn't recommend to a friend. maybe to a worst enemy...

    Classic cocktails, wonderful scotch list, great daily specials, goose fat fries... What's not to love? The bartender knew not to shake my gin martini. (It bruises the juniper.) He didn't make it dirty enough, especially considering I asked for it filthy. But I probably didn't need all that salt anyway. Next was a lovely bottle of Tempranillo with pâté. The pâté was interesting, not bad, but a little coarse for my liking. We finished with creme brûlée, which I don't typically like and never would've ordered. But if you like the stuff, this was superb. Upon deciding it was time to go, I ordered an Old Fashioned... TO GO! (I'm home, finally!) It was possible the best (at least in the top 3) OF I've had. We spent too much money, but it was all delightful and pretty well worth each penny. I will definitely be back.

    This is a great place to take a girl on a date. We come here regularly. Although I read a lot of complaints on service, it's very busy here all the time. You have to have a little patience. I can see how some of the staff can be rude, but I am pretty sure it just comes from being so busy. If you're planning on coming here to eat and go, this is not the place for you. It's made for sitting down and having a good long chat with friends and eat.

  • Lindsay A.

    I'm sorry but I have to do this. I must channel my inner Buffy to review Delachaise. You were warned. OMG, this place is so super amazeballs, y'all! They have an overcrowded bar that makes it super difficult to order drinks but that's awesome because I just stand there like a deer in the headlights and take up room so other people can't order. I give the people behind me super-judgey looks so they feel inferior and want to leave. I don't move when the waitresses are trying to get around me because I want them to know that I am sooo more important than them. Don't they know me?!? I love this meat market so much that I wish I could be here like 24/7. I have no idea how much anything costs because I just charge it on Daddy's Visa FTW! Ok, back to Lindsay. I used to love hang out on the patio of the Delachaise, listen to Cracky McSax (homeless saxophone player), drink some wine, and eat some cheese with my friends. The last several times I have gone to Delachaise it has been nothing but an overcrowded meat market filled with pretentious twits and nimrods. So I limit time there now. It's probably very nice on a Wednesday night. The staff is usually pretty nice, the selection is OK, but the prices are a bit on the high side now. So 4 stars for what it used to be, 2 stars for the Buffys.

    This very well may be the best little wine/cocktail bar in New Orleans! The service is very efficient and the prices are more than reasonable concerning both wine and liquor. The ambiance is intimate with Christmas lights adding a romantic touch for the night time crowd. They have a small patio for those who would like to enjoy the weather and the local scenery (if the weather happens to be enjoyable at the time). The usual way at Delachaise is to purchase a bottle of wine and split it among friends (or just yourself) at a nearby table. However, they do serve wine by the glass. If your any lover of cheese than you should look into their cheese plates. You can pick any number of cheese from their very impressive cheese menu and pair it with fruits, nuts, and French bread. It gets very cramped in this intimate place at night but if you show up around 8pm-9pm than you are sure to find a cozy spot... TO GUARD FOR THE REST OF THE NIGHT! The crowd varies a bit but is mostly made up of young professionals, mid-twenties to early-thirties, and a very select few young college kids who are damn lucky that they get to hang out among the rest of us :-)

  • Peter H.

    This place is just down the road from where I am living at the moment and while I have been there a few times and love their variety of drinks, and much of the food is creative and good, the main negative is the balding bartender who is usually there - gruff to the point of rudeness and absolutely without charm. I don't know who owns the place but take note, this bartender does your business no good

  • Stephanie S.

    Super cute place! There was a nice special the night I was there - $5 glass of wine. We also got the chefs choice cheese board. Very yummy for the price though the service is a little confusing. You have to order everything at the bar which got super backed up.

  • Cristy C.

    I am kind of upset with myself now that I realized I've never written a review of this place. It is by far my favorite bar in New Orleans for a few reasons: 1 - It's romantic. I am a hopeless romantic. A sweet young lady just waiting to be swept of her feet by Prince Charming. So yes, I like the dim lights, narrow and close atmosphere, sexy music and a wall full of wines. 2- The food is delicious. Not that you should indulge in a huge meal here, but the plates are a great size to share for a snack. 3 - Wines. Wines. Wines. Galore. Their wine list is quite extensive. I'll admit, I do not know a WHOLE lot about wines, but I know what I like and what I don't. 4- Indoor and outdoor seating. Oh New Orleans, how I love you so, but the weather that you offer is not the best for my easy-to-frizz-hair. 9 out of 10 times I sit inside, but when the weather is good, like in the fall or the beginning of winter, the outside tables are nice. My heart is taken at the moment, and I hope it stays that way. But if any guy every wants to put a huge smile on my face... take me to Delachaise.... then sweep me off my feet :)

    I would definitely recommend this place. FOOD: Amazing. The flank steak bruschetta was so good. I hear the frog legs and mussels are really great as well. DRINKS: Solid selection of beers for a New Orleans bar (meaning not just Abita). Lots of Belgians and other good stuff. SERVICE: Good. The bartender made great recommendations and was really fun. It also has pretty cool vibe/atmosphere.

    I can't believe what just happened. Ordered dessert which is supposed to take 15 minutes . 30 minutes later the bartender checks on us and tells me he didn't know what happened but they gave our dessert to the table behind us. I am so furious right now. It's my last night in town and I just completely wasted my time. The bartender didn't apologize or anything. What is wrong with people? Douche bags.

    I took a couple out-of-towners here on a Wednesday night around 12. It was not crowded, service was fairly fast, and we found a comfortable booth to sit and chat. We had sazeracs, as it was on my list of "must-try NOLA drinks" for my friends, but I wish we had tried something else as well. They didn't seem to be a specialty, so looking back it seems silly for us to only get these. But they were strong, so I guess that was a plus. My friend was a vegetarian so she had the eggplant dish and it was...meh. This was definitely a classier place than I am used to going, which is fine if you're into that kind of thing, but I'm not a huge fan. I prefer divier places where everyone has had a few too many and talks to complete strangers for 45 minutes and forgets their names. This place didn't have that vibe. I think I will try to go back sometime and sit on the patio...it seemed really cute and cozy.

  • Robert G.

    Strangely enough, there is a large wine selection of many horrible varieties. The bar is fully stocked, but the drinks are not well made, such as the case while muddling an entire lime slice, including the rind, in the mojito (the effect, causing a bitter drink, instead of a refreshing one). I have to give credit that the drinks were fast. I did not like the lack of late night table service, even with a patio area and such high prices. The Malbec that was paired with my meal was stale with fast legs, therefore, the stale, high alcohol content of the wine was less than expected. The food was cold and the steak bruschetta was not good. Cold and roast beef taste! Never again.

    It was nice to get out of the touristy stickiness of the French Quarter for a night and I thank Yelp for pointing me Uptown to the charming Delachaise. Normally a place like this is right up my alley but, here, if the food wasn't so gawddamned good, it'd simply get an "A-OK" from me. I heard so many good things about the pommes frites, but was chagrinned to discover that they're fried in duck fat. I mean, I understand that some people eat animals, but duck fat, to me, sounds particularly nasty. Boo. However, the grilled cheese Anabella made up for it, with its ooey-gooey and perfectly melted asiago pressato and fiore sardo, ingeniously combined with house-made apple butter on semolina, and garnished with slivers of Granny Smith apple. Hot damn! My friend ordered the frites and grilled cheese and I ordered the Delachaise salad and the grilled cheese. She got both of her dishes, but I didn't get my salad. I was dying for some ruffage, so twenty or so minutes, well after we'd gotten all our other dishes, had cleaned our plates, and had them bussed, I mentioned it to the bartender. He said it was coming, but didn't check on it. I asked again in another ten minutes, and finally it came out. The runner was very sweet and apologized for the delay. It was a pretty standard salad, really, but good. My friend and I ordered dessert. She, the chocolate molten soufflé, and I, the bourbon-vanilla creme brulée. Again, my friend got her dessert and ate it all up. Time passes. Where the frak is my dessert, yo? I work in a restaurant, so I hate to be a pest, but again, I mentioned it to the bartender. Service had picked up in the 90 minutes we'd been there and he was busier and got downright snippy with me when I asked. He said, "it's coming as fast as it can, you know." (Are you calling me fat? Ha!) Normally, I'd be all, oh, cool, man, whatever, but I was due at a Fringe Fest show at 9 and it was fast gaining on 8:30. I asked a food runner about it instead. I apologized for being a pest, but I just had a place to be, you know? The dessert finally came out and, sadly, 'twas not good. My friend tried it as well and agreed. And we are not picky about dessert. We left the mostly uneaten portion on the table and bolted. Sadly, that Fringe Fest show at which we were meeting friends was sold out when we got there, thanks in part to this subpar creme brulée. I think the order-at-the-bar thing is problematic. This is essentially a gastropub (or gastrowinebar; is that a thing? No? Well, it should be.) and the menu and seating are extensive enough to warrant table service. I don't mean, like, a sit-down, fancy dinner, but at least assign bartender-types to work the floor. That said, NOLA Hopitoulas IPA is where its at, beer-wise. I'll preface this alcoholic confession by stating that I was not driving: I drank three, would've drunk more, too, if I didn't have elsewhere to be.

    I love this place despite the slowest, most impersonal bartenders in town--perhaps they're perennially understaffed? Awesome outdoor and indoor areas, dope wine specials, good cocktails, and plentiful bittys. I've never forked out the cash to eat here, but it shore smells good.

  • Alex L.

    Despite being a proud, non-wine enthusiast who frequents with a avid group of winos, Delachaise is still one of my favorite spots for a drinking session of any length. As for food, I've been on a roll with ordering the steak bruschetta. It's really the the Peruvian garlic sauce that seals the deal. Also, everyone (minus the vegees who shy away fromgoose fat) seem to enjoy the pommes frites. I like well-organized, eye-catching menus and their chalkboards meet such an inane fascination They provide the place of birth of all beers (liquors and wines too if I remember correctly). I appreciate knowing how far my drink of choice has traveled. As far as I know, they carry moderately priced and delicious wines. My expertise is with beer and I admire a diverse selection of draught and bottled beers. Draughts include: Anchor Steam Liberty Ale, Chimay, and NOLA Brewery's Hopitoulas. They carry a solid 25+ bottled beers as well (including some of my favorites: Brooklyn Lager, Dead Guy Ale and Harpoon). The service is solid and they do a good job of getting food out to the patio. Location is prime for people watching and easy to access as it sits about half way between downtown and uptown.

    Delachaise, it's whatever you want it to be. It's a lively group happy hour on Friday. It's stealing a drink with your boyfriend on a quieter night, just because. It's catching up with a girlfriend on a table outside over wine and -- wait for it -- flank steak bruschetta, pork pate, and (obviously!) goose fat pomme frittes -- I seriously never knew they had such good food! I had always only gone for drinks, but Delchaise is perfect for dinner too! And if you prefer wine to hand grenades, you will find a kindred spirit in Delechaise. They easily have one of the better wine lists in the city, plenty of them by the glass if you're feeling less adventurous, and from all over the world. They don't disappoint with beers and liquor either, if that's your persuasion. The only down side is that you always have to order at the bar, even if you plan on sitting at a table, and then you have to go back to the bar to pick up your check at the end. A little inconvenient if you're looking for a more sit down evening, but definitely not a deal breaker.

  • Lucas B.

    Thanks for steering me in the right direction, my friends. I'm staying down the street from Delachaise and just had the steak frites based on a few good reviews. I was not disappointed! Someone said it reminds them of a NYC type of bar. I agree. In fact I'd say this place is very similar to d.b.a. in the East Village...but with New Orleans style, I can only guess (I've been here 3 hours). - 6 well chosen taps (Spaten, Schneider Weisse, Flying Dog...) - I opted for local and had the NOLA Hopitoulas. - Lots of bottles. - Excellent menus for aged Scotch (Macallen, Lagavulin...), Irish Whiskey, Bourbon, and Gin (Hendricks, Plymouth, Old Raj...). - New punk and alternative (The Killers, Radiohead...) played relatively low, but it was dinner time. - Steak frites were great - relatively thin steak, but juicy and cooked to order. Frites are fried in duck fat cut with oil. They were crispy and had a rich oil flavor. I did not have any problem with the service. I was there on Labor Day, and there was only one bartender for several customers, but he managed it well and the food came quickly.

    This place was fantastic on many levels. Four of us from out of town went here and we all will most definitely come back if we are ever back in New Orleans. The food was absolutely amazing; the fries were awesome, the cheese selection was tasty, the steak we had was cooked to perfection, the Cuban pork was exquisite, the deserts were divine...you all get the point. Everything was cooked to our specifications and the flavor was spot on. To add to our wonderful dinner was the fantastic wine, beer, and liquor menu. Aside from the amazing variety of spirits, the bartenders actually know WTF they are doing there! Our cocktails were mixed to perfection and the beer & wine recommendations were great. As Marisa X said in here review..."Delachaise, oh I F$#$#*% love you!"

  • Paul R.

    Here is a little bar, located right on St. Charles Ave., that is small and bursting with flavor! I've been frequenting this place since 2005, pre-Katrina, and it's still one of my favorite spots in Uptown. Inside, you'll find the surroundings dimly lit, each table housing a cute little candle and white Christmas lights in the windows facing St. Charles Ave. out front. Some may find the interior small, as do I. In fact, it is VERY small, in my opinion. However, I think that is also one of this bars strong points, too. Tables are set close together and at the very end of the bar, there is a solid wrap-around booth. This allows clientele to meet new people, chat and share drinks. I, personally, have never met a jerk in this place. Everyone is very cordial and often, I meet people who are in New Orleans for the first time in their lives. Before you know it, we're sharing stories and it's more like being in a living room with a good friend than a bar. They have something called 'around the world' wine....or something of that nature. They have a mass of wine selections from different countries around the world so you're def bound to find something that suits your fancy! If it's not on the board mounted to the wall, ask for the menu. The selection continues to thicken like a plot out of a Hardy Boys novel. When you order a wine from the board, it is given to you with a glass and a decanter. This adds a nice, sophisticated touch. In addition, you can easily get two full glasses from one serving! Not bad in my book! Wine is not the only thing featured here, however. Feel free to order any drink you wish, as they have a full and very extensive bar. Delachaise also serves food, which I think most people tend to forget....and from what I've sampled, it's very good! My group ordered a round of pomme frites, which I recently learned is fried in goose fat. That's why they were so good! I've also had the desserts, in the form of the Chocolate Molten Souffle' (with port caramel) and the Crème Brulee' (which has a seasonal inspiration and you'll need to ask). I've not given this establishment a full 5 stars (maybe I should??) because smoking is allowed and when the bar is full, the air is blue. Don't get me wrong....this place is NOT always full of smoke. It's only when it gets really, really busy that people begin to fire up their cancer sticks. Usually, this is quite late in the evening. Even so, when it gets that busy, it means it's about time for me to head out. I suggest anyone who has not been here before, is new to New Orleans or a native in search of a good time, check this place out. It's a fun, cute little place to spend alone, meeting new people or a place to bring a date!

    Still incredible. I don't EVER eat french fries, for example I can be in a car full of hot and "fresh" french fries from McDonalds while they are consumer by others (classy I know) and I still do not want them. Yet, I FREAKIN crave Delachaise's fries. I am pretty positive that they add some sort of addictive chemical to them, maybe it's the goosefat they fry them in. And their cheese? Amazing. This bar will always have my vote. Lately, they've had a nice bartender, Thierry, from France. I think I am in love because he knows his cocktail.

  • Kristin B.

    The Delachaise is one of my favorite bars in the entire world. It's not the most impressive wine bar - the list is short-ish - but I always take the bartender's word on what I should be drinking and they have never been wrong. Moreover, the cocktails are dynamite. They might have the best sazerac I've ever tasted, and I have had a sazerac everywhere. The food - especially the duck fat fries - is always delicious. The bartenders are always super friendly. The interior is perfect for dates to small/medium sized groups - intimate, a little dark, clean lines, albeit a bit smoky (welcome to NOLA!). It's right on the streetcar line and a short walk from some Magazine Street craziness, if you crave something different as the night goes on. In short, NOLA has a wealth of bars but this is my favorite one, so you should love it too.

    I used to adore Delachaise back when I lived nearer to Uptown. it definitely had the potential to be one of my more favored bars in New Orleans, but I haven't been there lately. Anyway, to put it succinctly this is more like a junior wine bar than a fully stock OMG WINE!!! bar. It does also offer a nice array of beers for you manly men out there who refuse to touch wine (look, I know you exist!). There's also a nice selection of appetizers or full on meals to accompany your various adult beverages. I've only had some of the sampler platter, vegan options are sparse, but my friends who've ordered the other items have all been quite pleased. The venue itself is an elongated shape - shotgun style, perhaps? There are tables, seats, bar stools etc. kind of just shoved wherever they would fit - very limited is what I'm trying to say. As per usual, a very dimly lit establishment - possibly a nice date destination as it's usually not incredibly rowdy in here. I very much like Delachaise because it feels like it's a happening bar, without it being actually ramped up and happenin' - if you know what I mean. It's been the location of many nice evenings with friends - just chatting away, drinking wine, and chillaxing. This isn't the cheapest place, can be a little moderately pricey, but you pay for the ambiance and food and alcohol selection, I suppose.

    If you are looking for customer service look else where. The bar tender and bar backs are extremely rude. I refuse to go back. Last night was my third time there and I wanted to give it another chance. I will say it is consistent.... Consistent in that the bar tenders are not friendly, helpful or even happy to be working there.

    Delachaise is a sure thing if you are looking for a talkative crowd. The intimate quarters make it feel busy every evening and at $25 for a bottle of the house wine, you can talk for quite awhile at a reasonable cost. The quaint patio gives you a chance to watch the streetcars on St. Charles pass by and experience the crisp night air. The food has great presentation, but be prepared to wait for it. The crowd has the appearance of a Tulane book club, but where else would an intellectual crowd hang out if not at a wine bar. A wonderful experience overall.

    This reminds of the bars and cafes where I used to go when I was living in Europe. I love this place. Great atmosphere, great food, great selection of alcohol. I have special memories here, including a first date. Before, the smoking used to throw me off (I don't mind smoking, but it was toooo much), now it's nonsmoking. Great place. Last I remember it doesn't open until five, unless that changed.

    New Orleans is like no other place in the country and is incapable of producing cookie-cutter restaurants. Delachaise is no exception. Rumor has it, the sous-chef here was just rated the best in NOLA in "Where Y'at." This is a spot I have been dying to try for quite some time and is now easily accessible on the St. Charles Streetcar line. Came here with about 10 people for my sister's 21st birthday and it was perfect for our size. We took over the round corner window and moved a few tables together. The venue does not have a waitstaff so you have to order everything at the bar. Could be a huge downfall if you're expecting a normal dinner setting, so this is important to know. I will add that the employees to bussed the food were extremely knowledgable, helpful and thoughful in making sure everyone had a taste of the shared dishes. The wine list is extensive and well-priced. I guess wine knowledge is much like the wine itself: improves with age. As the eldest of the group I chose a 2005 Malbec and Viognier for the table, since the tastes of my fresh-faced 21-year-old companions often do not extend past Franzia. We split all the dishes which included the Chef's Cheese Platter, 2 orders of Pommes Frites with a side of tomato aoili to start. We then devoured two orders of Crab Cakes topped with wasabi caviar. (Absolutely exquisite) and Beefy Bruscetta, which knocked the socks off everyone at the table. The meal was the completed with chicken and pork chop topped with a fritter-dirty rice. We wined and dined in candelight, laughing and celebrating. If you are looking for a a low-key, mouth orgasming experience outside the French Quarter, get on the streetcar and geaux to Delachaise!

    My sister brought me here over Christmas break - she loves this place and comes here a few times a week! I really loved the cozy cute interior, the great (cheap!) house red wine, and the duck fat fries. She raves about the cheese plate - I will have to be back to try that at a later date! If I lived in the area I'd probably come here nearly as often as she does.

    Delachaise is a great place to hang out with friends for drinks. I love to sit on St. Charles Avenue and have drinks and appetizers. I was super excited when they decided to make the place non-smoking. The drinks here are great, they are never skimpy on the liquor, there are always specials on bottles of wine and they have a large selection to choose from. Then there are great things to eat too. I will start with the pommes frites, these are the best fries in NOLA. They are fried in goose fat for cryin out loud!!! They come with two great dipping sauces and they are hard to stop eating. Then there is the cheese board, it's always a different selection of cheeses, and you can get 2, 3 or 4 different ones on the board. It usually comes with some apples, nuts and maybe some hone on the plate, and the baguette. Mmmmmm. My one complaint, they need to do something about the smell of sewerage that plagues the place. I'm sure it's due to the fact that it probably has mega old plumbing, but the smell from the bathroom fills the place now that there is no smoking. Think they need to invest in a plumber. Besides this little problem, I need to be going back soon!

    This is the place that started the hip wine/cocktail bar with amazing food boite trend that has (happily) blanketed a swathe of New Orleans over the last few years. Stronger on wine than their mimics, Delachaise may still be the coolest of this category (higher quotient of hipsters to yuppies and very few older folks), nesteled in a rail car like space that occupies a little isthmus of a block on Saint Charles. Much of the food is delicious, including smoked salmon johnny cakes and the grilled cheese Anabella. Also, I've heard moans of eye rolling pleasure over the flank steak bruschetta. The cheeses available are great, though the portions are pretty skimpy (not a phrase I make often..I don't like monsterous servings of food).There are plenty of dishes that qualify as genuine "dinner" entree's if you wish to take a not-so'tapas journey, but be warned: the tables are pretty small and often uncertain of their footing..this is still more bar than eatery. Finally, I am always pleased with what is playing on the ipod...and if you are hammered, the streetcar is right outside.

    After reading the others reviews, I completely understand. If you want to check it out, definitely go during non-peak hours and simply enjoy the ambiance, the friendly/knowledgable staff, and the tasty food. Going for a drink before going elsewhere would be fun as well. Looking for an intimate setting with your boo, this would work. Going out for a bachelorette party, no way. Not everyone is going to walk away happy.

    Leave your passport at home and hop onto a barstool at Delachaise for the satisfying pseudo-Euro drinking experience Uptown relishes. The staff here know their clientele and service the throngs and masses better than most. Pair that with the crazy inventory of delectable alcohols and stumble out sated.

  • Leah O.

    Great atmosphere both inside the bar and on the patio. There is a great 50's vibe inside. We sat on the patio and watched the streetcars go by. Drink prices are average. Based on some reviews I expected the staff to be rude but fortunately that was not the case.

    I've gone here a few times over the past couple of months, and actually primarily for the food, not for drinks. I've gotten the cheese plate a couple of times, which is always good. I got their grilled cheese--most definitely the BEST I have ever had because they use I think 3 different kinds of delicious fine cheeses (though I don't remember which ones). French fries fried in duck fat. Delicious. The other customers always always a bit stuffy and kind of unpleasant to be around, but the food & service is solid.

  • D M.

    One of the best collective selections of beer, wine and liquor I've come across in Louisiana. They have a relatively small food menu, but most of it is worth the price. The cheese plate is usually my go-to, but if they have a good special running (especially the steak) I'll get that plus a nice rye whiskey you can't get at most bars in Nola .

    i am writing this review pretty much on ambiance only as i met someone there for some wine and that was about it. i didn't try the food and i didn't get a chance to try what looked like a decent bourbon menu (next time, because i would like to try this place out with a different sort of intent in mind). When i got there about 7:30 it was quiet with people spread out at the tables outside and inside and some at the bar. it was nice to be able to sit and have a conversation in a building that I've been driving by since i moved to nola. i was very happy to see that i felt pretty instantly like i was walking into an old northern style Italian restaurant... something about the place felt less fashionable and more comfortably worn than they may be going for, but i liked that. the bench seats were comfortable and the high ceilings helped to make what would be an otherwise ridiculously narrow space feel big. i could see sitting down here to eat at the round table in the window with a few friends and a glass of bourbon, or even reading a book in one of the corner bench seats by the door where we sat. but i would very much have to do this before the crowd of 20 somethings and early 30's dropped by around 9 and the place got HOPPIN. and by hoppin i mean loud and crowded. i didn't even try to get up and go to the bar again or to squeeze through the bar area to get to the bathroom, it was packed, wall to wall. it got to the point that i could no longer hear barely anything my company was telling me and so we decided to leave. so lesson to myself... go early around dinner noshin time and bolt before the popular crowd comes in. also, they had no table service when we were there... I'm not certain if that's a regular thing as the sign was paper with magic marker writing on it and i barely just noticed it as i was looking over the wine menu (which seemed to be extensive in my quick perusal). Everything had to be ordered at the bar, which was easy whenever it was just a smattering of people, but when the crown came in it was nigh impossible. and i noticed that there were several areas where boxes of booze were just sitting stacked. I'm not sure if they had just gotten inventory in or not, but they didn't seem interested in moving any of the boxes while i was there. overall I'd like to give this place another try sometime... see if it can impress me more, like i said, i really dug the ambiance in the beginning.

    Thank you Yelp for this find! Delachiase is responsible for the single most delicious edible during our six day stay in New Orleans; the apricot Riesling Creme Brulee. Absolutely amazing. We stuck with the specials of the evening and I would recommend that strategy to anyone. We got the chef's cheese plate, followed by Prosciutto wrapped prawns over a super tasty polenta. Then we hit the desert menu; the apricot Riesling Creme Brulee practically drove us insane with its deliciousness, and after a conversation with the Chef, he brought out the second desert, black rice sitting in a soup of Tahitian vanilla coconut milk & cantaloupe juice/soup. Oh so good. The drink menu was extensive. We stuck to the wine for the most part. Part of me wishes they had a greater selection of wines by the glass, but part of me enjoyed having only one glass of each wine type. It simplifies things. If you've never been to Delachaise and are thinking of going.... just go.

    There's nothing like checking in on Foursquare and getting the "Lookin' for Love" badge when you first try a place. It's like one of the brochures Emma Pillsbury has on "Glee" -- "So the bar you just walked into is a singles bar". I looked at my husband and he just shrugged. We looked over the huge blackboards over and around the bar before deciding on two beers. I went to the bar and ordered. They were out of both beers. Isn't that the point of blackboard menus? That they're easy to keep up to date? The bartender suggested the Blanche De Chambly instead of the wit. I hesitated because that was my husband's beer order, so the bartender said "It's Canadian." To which I replied, "Yes, Unibroue." He seemed shocked that I knew the brewery. We got the Chambly and a Chimay White plus an appetizer. I tried to order a second round, but we decided we didn't want to give them any more money and just asked for the check.

    I went here for a few glasses of wine and didn't get to try the food. I was somewhat disappointed in the wine list. With that being said I am somewhat biased and/or spoiled because I live in a city where wine is taken very seriously. For New Orleans, the list was somewhat good. The first glass of wine I ordered (Tempranillo) was bad and I sent it back. Wanting something a little lighter I ordered the Pinot Noir, and didn't love it. However, the staff was very friendly and service was great. If I'm in New Orleans and looking for a nice place to hang out I will go back.

    A welcome refuge from the madness of Mardi Gras... After making my first visit to New Orleans this past February for Mardi Gras, Delachaise was a stand-out among the dozen-or-so watering holes we visited. If I lived in New Orleans, I'd probably be a regular. Granted we visited ~10:30pm on a Saturday; I'm not sure if this place brands itself as a restaurant or bar, though it definitely felt the latter on this particular visit. Fine by us. Chill, but not too chill. I found myself energized by the crowd and ambiance; rather than tiring and craving bed as some quieter wine bars sometimes do. Good variety of drinks. Friendly, if slightly slow bartenders (but, okay, this is New Orleans--everything felt a bit slower than what I'm used to on the coasts). Comfortable booth seating. Oh, and good bar food -- props for keeping the kitchen open late, and even offering some healthy selections! Though the cheese plate took forever, we also shared a fresh vegetable plate w/ muhamara (sp?), something I seldom see offered at bars... Bottom line: like it.

    I don't like the crowd at this place. It's best described as lowbrow yuppie. There also seemed to be some awkward OK Cupid meetups going on when I visited. Also tipsy secretaries. Gross. They have a good selection of wine, beer and liquor, but their menu leaves a lot to be desired. The pate is tough, bland and does not appear to have been made on the premises. When I visited with my sister one busy Thursday night, she ordered the Salad Nicoise, only to be told the salad was "out." When she asked what specific ingredients the kitchen was out of (i.e. eggs, tuna, etc.), they said: "Everything." Very unhelpful. My sister then requested a simple green salad with some of the flank steak from the steak bruschetta appetizer on top. Even though this was a simple request, the bartender/server refused, offering no reason as to why they could not fulfill this request. The bar itself was a bit dirty, and the men's room smell kept wafting through the restaurant. I will not be returning.

    Amazing food. If you want a hip, chill place for great food and drink this is the spot! Order @ the bar and don't expect to get fawned over with service but you will lick your plate and get every pennies worth. Best fries in town (warning no ketchup though) and the shrimp Clemenceau is great! Open late. Outdoor seating lunch late in the week

    I feel like I should like this place more than I do. Yeah, it's a wine bar, yeah, they serve tapas, and yeah, it's datey as hell, but I have a problem with places where I have to walk a bartender through the steps of certain classic cocktails (read: if you cannot make an old fashioned, you should not tend bar). Anyway, this place will persist in popularity, I'll get brought there with big groups/dates, and I'll just pay the $5 for a beer next time, saving all of us the embarrassment.

    Food and wine was great, but the service was terrible. It was a Monday night and there were several empty tables. They gave me a dirty wine glass, but it happens I guess. At times, there were 3 people behind bar where you order food and wine. Most of the time they were just standing in the corner talking to each other. One bartender who was just rude and made the whole experience awful. There are a lot of great places to eat in New Orleans so don't waste your time.

    The atmosphere & food are great. ... But the seating arrangements leave much to be desired. It was difficult for 3 of us to talk. Our food came out sporadically. The 2 shrimp dishes came out, then about 5 minutes later a grilled cheese came out, then out came our tomato soup for dessert--we thought we would get this before our main courses. Huge wine selection. We like these types of out of the way places. If they can fix the meal delivery problems, I'd give them 4 stars; 5 if they work on seating. They have an outdoor patio but you have to contend with smokers.

    Excellent wine selection, and beer. Love this place for later night food when you weren't planning on going out for a nice meal and didn't have reservations. Tough for a group but a couple or a three is reasonable. Had the specials on the menu last night, the gazpacho was good (nothing spectacular), the crawfish mac and cheese was not our favorite- alot of lemon flavor with cheese just dent taste quite right, but the pork vindaloo was awesome- and the plantains were a great accompaniment!

    If you've read my other reviews, you know that I'm not one to full out hate someplace, or give vague reasons why I don't like something. SO...I do not hate The Delachaise, but I do have several specific reasons why I did not have a good experience there. 1. It is small and not well equipped to being a restaurant, staff-wise. 2. There was smoking allowed indoors, and no ventilation. 3. We had to literally argue with another party to get a table outside, when we had been waiting for over an hour. *4. The service. If you're interested in hearing about the service, please read below. We sat down at our table (finally) and had to go up to the bar to order food - there was a waiter, but it looked like he was just there to deliver the meals. And talk on his phone. Our food finally came! Yay! It was 10:00 or so, and we were all really hungry. So, anyway, our food came. No - wait - everyone else's food came and my stomach continued to growl. I waited for about ten minutes before going up to the bar to inquire about my missing grilled cheese sandwich, and when I did, bartender A told me he'd check on it. I stood there watching him not check on it for ten more minutes, before asking the other bartender. I was told by bartender B, that because so many people order the grilled cheese, the oven was backed up. "It'll be out in a few minutes." Mmm Hmm... So I waited for another fifteen minutes and went back in again. Me: "Hi, I still haven't gotten my sandwich." Bartender B: "You still haven't gotten it? Hang on..." When he came back, he told me that it was on it's way out. I was almost in tears at this point I was so hungry and frustrated (I know, silly, but true) and said that I thought it made sense if the sandwich was on the house. He had no idea what I was talking about, and asked me if I had changed my mind about the sandwich. "No, I still want it - the rest of my table has already had their food for over a half and hour. I think it should be free." I went back outside and waited for an addition ten minutes, before going in again with my fightin' words ready to go. Still no sandwich, but bartender B went and found it (piping hot) in the kitchen and gave it to me. I settled my tab at the bar with bartender A, who had no problem taking my sandwich off the bill, and everything was - ehem - fiinnne after that. Not the end of the world, but I expect better from people who earn their wages in tips and work six feet from the place where the food is cooked. The wine was good - I had the Malbec, and people I was with had beers and scotches, all of which seemed to satisfy them. Alcohol is definitely this place's forte - they should probably leave the restaurant business to people who know what they're doing.

    Delachaise is a bar to check out if you want a nice atmosphere and good food and drink. I was actually quite pleased with the wine selection. It may not be super extensive but it covers most commonly-liked variatals, and they have a much greater selection than other bars in the area. For those non-wine drinkers, there is also a good selection of beer and liquor. For food, I tried the frogs legs which were not bad. Well flavored but a little pricey ($10 for 4 legs). Good place for a date night. Bartenders were friendly and attentive. Worth the trip.

    This place is normally right up my alley. Unique, wine bar, with original food and a romantic atmosphere. However, it was super smokey and the wine list was disappointing. I may have high expectations after just going tasting last weekend in Sonoma; but for wines by the glass it was pretty grim. I didn't even finish my glass of white. I ordered the crab cakes; and I wished for something a bit more substantial; they were creative. I would like to try this place again and see if it does a better job the second time around.

    Cute little place right on St. Charles Ave. Great spot to meet friends for a glass of wine. We did order a cheese plate and it was pretty pricey for what we got. There is some outdoor seating, which is great when the weather is nice. The only negative about the patio, is the fact that it is "fenced" in by a bunch of barricades. If I were meeting friends out, I wouldn't suggest it, but if a friend asked me to meet there, I would definitely join them.

    Lisa was our bartender and was excellent. Knowledgeable and we had some of the pomme frites, french fries for you all with that yummy garlicky sauce. It was excellent! The bar has extensive menu with excellent menu if you have the munchies, a cheese plate that is great. Beer, wine, liquor, you name it---they seem to have it along with any other beer you havent tried. Parking is offstreet, be careful at night. Give a try.

    So I can't wait to go back here when they are actually open for a meal. Was recommended the Delachaise by a good friend so my husband and I walked over from Magazine street since we had a few hours to kill before a dinner reservation elsewhere. Josh, the bartender from a small town in Florida, was super nice and engaged us, the ONLY customers at 3pm on Christmas Eve, in good conversation. (Kitchen was not open until 5pm.) He gave us recommendations for other bars (with good mixologists that he personally knew--Bar Tonique and Cure) and clubs (d.b.a. on Frenchmen) to visit and introduced us to the NOLA beers which we drank on tap at other places on the rest of our visit (much better than Abita beers though not 100% amazing). He even let my husband sample part of a can of a craft porter which he then finished himself while chatting with us. The exterior of this place is odd--like a 1950s throwback drive through or something, but the interior is warm and wood-filled with old chairs. Their wine, beer and liquor lists are extensive and their menu looked great too. Hopefully, someday we'll be back to sample the other goods that this place has to offer. For now, thanks Josh for a nice afternoon. If you're in Chicago, look us up.

  • Allison M.

    Like Matthew M, I also just moved back to NOLA after a seven year hiatus, and I loved the bar. It feels relaxed and sophisticated, yet still has a certain funkiness that makes it comfortable and endearing. The selection is fantastic and the prices are very affordable. On the particular night I visited, I guess there were some issues with the service crew. The owner was behind the bar and super stressed and made us wait for nearly 10 minutes for the second half of a glass of champagne (he emptied a bottle with the 1st half). Then, he was talking to someone else while he finished the pour, but didn't tell us how much we owed him. My friend became quite pissed, as she was in town visiting friends and didn't want to be staring at this stressed out bartender--she wanted to be with her peeps. Understandable. I thought this would be a good opportunity to try out a theory. I wanted to sort of shame this guy into good service since we'd be there for a few more rounds, so we left him an $8 tip for his crappy service for our 2 glasses of wine. It totally worked. However, this is not a tip to service industry-types who may read this. He didn't get a tip at all the next round, so it came out even anyway. Also, he knew the people at my table, as it turns out, but once he got things under control, he came around to wait on our table regularly. So, I'm not sure if it was my smartass/jackass theory or him knowing people, but at least we had perfect service after that. This would be a fantastic date spot, by the way.

    I haven't been back yet, but Chef Chris DeBarr no longer works at the Delachaise according to an email I received from him. Too bad, he was such an awesome, down-to-earth guy who was willing to come out and chat with his patrons. He really has a passion for amazing food.

  • Steve M.

    I wasn't as bowled over as some of the reviewers. Yes, they have a good selection of wine and beer and the food is delicious, but you're basically paying $6-$10 for drinks and $12-$15+ for appetizers. The high prices are presumably for the atmosphere, but is it really that great? Mainly it's so loud you can't talk to anyone without shouting. Although I realize this is what some people are looking for in a bar, I'd rather spend the same money to have a good meal somewhere else.

    We only had one drink here, but I've heard the food is great. I loved the building itself though, and everyone seemed helpful. It was really busy but didn't feel like it; it was just a relaxed vibe that I enjoyed. We were on our way somewhere else, but I would have enjoyed staying there for a few more drinks and maybe some food!

    I really like this little place. It's got a good wine list and is open relatively late so that restaurant industry people can come in after work and grab a cheese plate or some appetizers. It's a great date place and the staff is pretty friendly.

    Highly recommended! One of the coolest, greatest places to hang out at, drink, eat and be merry in NO. Amazing cheese plates (you can choose from 20 diff int'l cheeses) great wine selection. The food was scrrrrumptious, delissshhh! Prices are moderate and well worth the quality. The specials on the blackboards looked amazing full of local seafood stuff, definitely going to try them next time as I will surely be back in a few days! It's a smoker's hangout with smoking permitted along the bar and eating areas, so if you're allergic to smoke, this place is not for you.

  • Genevieve D.

    Their pommes frites are basically all that a french fry can aspire to be. Fried in goose fat, served with dill aioli, it's basically a little piece of fried heaven. Add to that an extensive wine selection, great cheese boards, and regular awesome specials (like their flavored creme brulee of the day) and it's pretty much all you can ask for in a wine bar.

    This place is a little expensive, so it attracts a mostly white, upper-class crowd. However, it is a great concept, and perfectly possible--with a little suave--to secure a bite to eat and a drink for a totally reasonable price. The drink selection is impressive, with excellent prices on beers from around the world, and a good basic $5 house wine, white and red. It's also great to have a wine bar with free WIFI, yay. Delicious food and you can get a full meal for a mid-range price of around $13 although most entreés are in the $20s. There's also a range of appetizers if you're just feeling peckish. Like other reviewers, I recommend the "goosefat fries", which if a little expensive for fries, are abundant and unique and come with really cool sauces and blazing sea salt. Atmosphere (music, comfort) is great and it's a really cute little place--definitely fun and unique. It's possible to bring your computer and work, especially if you have headphones--or a date.

    Having moved back to the NOLA area a few months ago following a seven year hiatus, I found that several new bars spontaneously generated in the meantime. Delachaise is one of the first ones I happily happened upon. The bourbon selection (if that's your thing) is quite impressive as is the decent array of wine. There is Chimay on tap - you don't see that too often down here. There is a Manhattan bar feel to the place without the Manhattan prices. The ambiance, well, let's just say it's a great place to bring a new friend or a first date. It's dark (but not too dark), and quite comfortable. You can actually hear the other party with whom you are conversing. Although not a quite a restaurant, there is food, and the food is pretty darn swell. If you're headed Downtown from Uptown - it's on the way. Thumbs up, folks!

    I can't even begin to tell you how happy I was after my first visit here, you see, I just moved to the area and was looking for some new watering holes and this place is Grreat! Seriously, a wine bar with an incredibly vast selection of wines and cheeses with a creative menu that changes frequently .. it can't get better. This place is only open in the evenings, but serves food until midnight. This really isn't the place to go for a full blown dinner, but it is a great date night beginning. You should check it out. It isn't a restaurant, there are no servers - you will have to go to the bar, but I really like the atmosphere and don't personally mind having to serve myself.

    Cool atmosphere, feels very European, right down to the stern service, ha ha. The food was extremely good, I could not stop eating it!! We ordered several plates to share. The pommes frites fried in duck fat (or goose fat) are so crispy, they are exactly to my taste. The malt vinegar aioli is my crack!!! The Thai peanut dipping sauce is good too. Our cheese plate had a nice array of cheddar, manchego, gouda and honey goat cheese. The honey goat cheese was to die for! I have got to find out where else I can get this locally. Next time I am going to get an order of that just for myself! The olive plate was scrumptious and paired perfectly with my champagne cocktail. My friend ordered the steak bruschetta. It was not one of my faves but she loved it. I'm looking for an excuse to go back as soon as possible!

    Delachaise has so much potential to be a really amazing bar and restaurant. It is sad that they do not take advantage of their wonderful location on St Charles Ave. I have visited them several times over the past years and each time I get the same impression, waisted potential. The service is hit or miss. The wine list is extensive, but when asked about certain qualities of their offerings I was brushed off and left to "fend for myself". As far as any drinks other than wine, forget it. They aren't even willing to think outside of the wine box and make a great mixed drink. Wine bar or regular bar,it is still a bar and should offer at least a fun speciality drink, it can involve wine. I will say that the food was very good. Nice flavoring and pairings of ingredients. The cheese platter is always a fun one to order and duck grease fries are devilishly delicious. The atmosphere leads much to be desired. The furniture needs updating, some of the seats where loose. The arrangement did not lend well to large groups. I guess if its dark enough and you have had a few drinks it all sort of becomes a blur. Be wary of the bathroom, its not the cleanest. At the end of the day most of these things could be over looked if the personel where a bit more welcoming. In particular, the French man behind the bar as well as some of the other staff reflected no interest in our group's business. For this reason we will find a better place where we fell welcomed.

    Such a chill environment. I absolutely love it. And their mussels are oh so delicious!!!! Reminds me of a Vietnamese dish I know :-). Must check it, especially if you're a wine drinker!

    This would actually be 3.5 stars, but since that's not an option, 3 it is. Let me preface this review by saying Delachaise has great potential. They are one of the only wine bars in Uptown, they are open late, and serve a full menu. Unfortunately, the service leaves so much to be desired. Not that it's always bad, just inconsistent. Perhaps they don't care because they own the niche, who knows. Maybe it's the order-at-the-bar method that puts the bartenders in such bad moods. I can understand. There are a million people at the bar all trying to get drinks and food. Why not hire a couple servers to make that easier? They are bridging the gap between bar and restaurant. But if you are going to serve bottles of wine and full entrees, why wouldn't you have table service? The selection of wine/beer/spirits is great. The food is delicious. The bathrooms are dingy and the furniture in the place is falling apart. Wasted potential. The service is, for the most part, inconsistent. I could be waiting for 10 minutes for a bartender to even make eye contact, even when I'm standing next to someone who's ordering! Last night my friend never got his food, then after 45 minutes went to inquire about it. "Oh sorry", the bartender said, "it never got made." That's it! No comped drinks or anything. I come here because it's a wine bar that's open late with food. But if there was another option around with the same kind of amenities, I'd be there in a second.

    Great date spot, nice but casual, fun. $5 wine special every night. The fries are a must, and I recommend the pork entree, crispy outside but so tender and juicy.

    I am local, the service from the bartender/staff is rude and insulting. With a 120 new restaraunts opening in NOLA a year don't waste your time with this bad service and bad attitude wait staff.

    A great little bar with a wonderful selection of wines and beer. The goose fat fries with the aioli sauce are delectable. Always a great place to meet friends for a drink and/or a meal. The outside patio and twinkle lights definitely add to the charming atmosphere. One word of advice, however. When ordering any kind of wine, don't ask for the "house" version- there is no such thing and chances are they'll only give you the most expensive glass of wine for that variety... If you're budget conscious, be specific!

    Delachaise deserves a 4 or 5 star rating for the atmosphere, beverage selection, and a select few of the food menu items (goose-fat fries, grilled cheese - to name a few) BUT because of the terribly rude service that I have experienced time and time again, I am rating it 2 stars. The (bald, accent) bartender/order taker/server is consistently miserable and ignores customers. I hope that this establishment decides to take action on this, as the reviews say it all. There are far superior happy hour bars in NOLA to spend my time & money.

    Very cozy and unique atmosphere. Love the ambiance at night. Had the ham & Brie sandwich with the amazing fries that are cooked in duck fat. I only ate half of my meal because it was very filling, brought the rest to-go. Had a glass of the house wine and beer for the remainder of the evening. Very enjoyable experience.

    This may come as a shock to anyone who knows me, but... I'm somewhat of a wino. That's right. I said "wino." Not "Oenophile." Listen, I know barely anything about wine except for the usual feeling of "I want some now." I don't sip. I've been known to gulp. The idea of using a spittoon after "tasting" is a hilarious concept to me. If it's red and it's dry, it's usually good enough (that's actually no longer true, sadly). I do know that I love me some dry Italian reds and that Shiraz is too sweet for me. Luckily for me, Delachaise has a fair amount of Italian reds by the bottle and a perfectly drinkable Chianti by the glass (not everyone loves an Italian red, it's true). So, a few things. I think I'd prefer this place on a quieter night, as I was here on an extremely busy Friday and it's not the kind of place that I, personally, want to be in when crowded. I mean, wine drinking is a pretty civilized activity, best done while speaking in dulcet tones, perched on the edge of dark velvet lounges--not shrieking across a table at my companions. Delachaise is quite perfect to this end, with its low lighting and loungy seating in the front and back (I love the front window area!). The bar is long, very long, lending itself well to the long, narrow structure. I just can't get behind the whole packed, two person-deep at the bar thing. And you have to order your food at the bar (they do bring it out to you). Again, I totally would be down to do this anytime when it's easy to do so.That said, the food we ordered was astonishingly delicious, especially the eggplant cannolis!! The cheese platter is also quite incredible (you can pick or leave it up to them. We did the latter which was the best idea for sure). I suppose I should be glad that you order at the bar, for this made me order far less wine that I would have normally. Yep. Had a server been back to check on us, I guarantee we all would have had at least 2 more glasses each. I fully expect to increase my star rating when I return on a less busy night.

    Wandered in and had the most perfect lunch. Great fries and the Boz sandwich, homemade olive brine. Worth a stop if you are visiting the cemetery or the garden district!!

    Delachaise is my one of my favorite spots. It has a chill, relaxed ambiance. My friends and I go here quite often for a casual night of drinks. There's a wide selection for all you wine connoisseurs. Not only do they offer great wine, but the food here is tasty, too. I can't keep away from their fries! I love that you can build together your own plate of cheese. Brie and goat cheese for the win!!!The Johnny Cakes, mussels, and steak are hits as well.

    This is one of my favorite little places to go for drinks and a lite bite. The wine and beer selection is always superb. For food, the flank steak bruschetta is a must. The horseradish sauce that they serve with it makes the dish! I tried the mussels for the first time during my last visit and was blown away. The broth that it is served in is so flavorful....ask for more bread for dipping. The mussells are also served with the duck fat pomme frites....and these are as delicious as you imagine. This is the perfect spot to stop by pre-movie!

    I love bars and restaurants with a view of the street. I can't explain why, other than I like to sit and watch people and things. Delachaise is a bar where you can do just that. On a recent night out in the city, a friend suggested this bar. I have passed it numerous times wondering how it was, so I was glad to finally check it out. We sat at the bar and ordered some $5 red. After a little while at the bar, we moved outside. While I really enjoyed the patio area, I think my drinking companion preferred the bar. The outside area has a great view of St. Charles Ave and the convenience store next door. All kinds of characters go in and out of the convenience store which makes for interesting viewing. At one point we though a robbery may have been going down, but it ended up just being a figment of our imagination. I did enjoy this bar and will gladly return later. Maybe next time I can try the food and write a more thorough review update.

    The atmosphere is perfect here. The food is great and the endless list of alcoholic choices is great. Big complaint here is that the service is consistently terrible. It's almost as if the servers think you should be so grateful to be graced with their presence. Constantly having to wait 15+ minutes to order a drink and rude table side service. However, because of the atmosphere and menu, I keep going back.

    What a great Thursday! My boyfriend and I went here for the Dining Out for Life HIV prevention event in New Orleans. Delachaise was one of the establishments that agreed to donate 25% of all profits to HIV/AIDS organizations. We got there pretty early, around 5:30 PM and it was just starting up. We stopped by the bar and looked over the great $25 bottle specials offered that night and ended up on a sparkling rose. We also drooled over the cute little cheese clipboard as we marked off our four selections: a french blue, a "funky" goat cheese, an interesting cheddar with mustard seeds and ale, and one other goat cheese. We then took our wine in its nice silver ice bucket and proceeded outside to sit and talk while we gazed on St. Charles and people watched and listened to the big old streetcars amble by loaded with tourists heading to and from downtown. Our cheese selections came out on a smart slate cheeseboard. They were accompanied by a toasted baguette sliced in perfect thin pieces, some spiced walnuts, and some apple sliced just so. The cheese portions were acceptable, but, definitely on the smaller side of what was expected. But, it was a great plate nonetheless. As we ate our cheese and drank our bubbles the clouds rolled in as they do every afternoon during NOLA summers and we darted inside as it began to rain. Now inside in the great little porch like front seating area we decided since it was rainy outside we would prolong our stay get more wine and more food and just enjoy. We ordered a carmenere, steak bruschetta, and some goose fat fries. Everything was so delicious. The steak was cooked rare and was tender and easy to bite which can be a problem with bruschetta and was delicious with the herb spread on the crusty french bread. The fries were also amazing, super crisp with nice flaky sea salt on them. They came with garlic mayo and a asian inspired peanut sauce both of which I enjoyed very much. Overall this was the PERFECT wine bar experience and I cannot wait to go back. Great for a nice casual date full of conversation, delicious food, and of course tasty wine.

    My favorite wine bar because of its extensive selection, outdoor seating and romantic setting and most of all the late hours of operation. Plus very reasonable prices makes it a winner in my book.

    Definitely one of my top five places to get a glass and eat later in the evening after work. The flank steak bruschetta is INSANE! Just have some mouth wash or gum in you're on a date for after. A bit garlic/pesto amazingness that likes to hang on a while.

    Great place to hang out and catch up with friends. Very cozy tight fitting inside, but outside is a little more roomy and nice when the weather permits. Good wine selection. Good cheese selection to go with that wine. If you want some bites to share you must get an order of the fries fried in goose fat served with 2 fancy sauces, one of which is not ketchup...I know, right? It gets crazy. I've had other dishes and all were pleasantly good! I would recommend Delachaise for happy hour, pre-dinner or after dinner drinks.

    My wife really enjoys this spot, and I think it's good, too. But not really great. First things first, though: the selection! Other than the superb location along Saint Charles Ave, the selection of alcohol and interesting foods has to be Delachaise's most redeeming quality. My wife and I have had small plates, appetizers, and even a steak and fries there. All were very tasty. My wife likes to experiment with her drinks to a certain extent, and Delachaise doesn't disappoint. If you like an upscale crowd, this is your place. Polo shirts literally everywhere (even on the staff) and more short skirts and dresses than you can find anywhere else other than Bourbon or a beach wedding (per square foot). This is a place where people come to see and be seen. You can pretty much tell as soon as you walk in the door. If you walk in with your own sense of style - especially if it's trendy - you will (at least briefly) receive all eyes. So "dress to impress" is my suggestion. The bar itself is surrounded by windows, but the lights are kept especially low at night. Look for the "christmas" lights along the eaves and railings when approaching from the street. The biggest drawback to this place, I think, is the method of service. There is, technically, table service. But it's not the usual sort. You have to jostle (literally) other patrons at the bar or guess which line of people (on a busy night) is going to move you to the bar first. You only order food standing at the bar, then you get to fight against everyone else in the place for a table. One of the two times were there, my wife and I got literally the worst (and last) table out on the porch. I kept getting bumped by people going by - and I was trying my best to stay out of the way (I'm 5-10, 180, usually not big enough to be in anybody's way). If they would add a hostess stand and normal table service (at least on their busy nights) this place would be among the best in town. But until they do, you should be prepared to get elbowed out of the way by some thick-headed brute in a poorly chosen polo shirt at least 50% of the time you try to place an order for anything ... which of course, must be done at the bar.
