Etoile

The service , the atmosphere and the food are all amazing. Their cocktail program is phenomenal. Very small #s of patrons seated. You truly feel like you have been invited into someone's home for a wonderfully catered dinner party. Trust me and make reservations here

Food service ambience was all amazing. Loved the whole experience. From the beginning to the send-off we were pleasantly surprised.

Etoile is an incredible food & wine experience that is one not to be missed! They are currently open Thursday-Friday-Saturday and are on Tock for reservations. Calling to make reservation is another way to secure a seating or to book an event (504-582-9920). They gave us a tour of the home and they have an incredible space upstairs for larger parties. They even have a private smaller dining room downstairs. There website is etoileorleans.com. Here you can make a reservation and review sample menus. We eat at our regular restaurants when we are in town, but this one will now be on our list every time we come to the city. The food is exquisite and locally sourced by farmers. The wine pairings were perfect. The food is presented in portions that are the perfect size and each look like a work of art. You can tell Chris Dupont's heart and soul go into making your experience worth it. The detail of the beautiful home, service and most of all the food and wine make this a destination for locals and anyone visiting the City.

This restaurant is in a beautiful former home and I think it was a former restaurant at some point on magazine Street. It is very well appointed and very pretty. We went to a tasting menu dinner and were served seven very small portions of very delicious food. If you add the (small portions) wine pairing, you are looking at probably $250 a person at least. It was great to have the experience, but I don't think I would do it again for that price. Someone else chose the restaurant and we didn't inquire much about it in advance. Glad we went and enjoyed it, but again it was pretty expensive for what you got. My SO was still hungry after.

Wow - Chef Dupont did it again. This was my first visit to Etoile, but his food at Cafe DuPont in Birmingham, AL was always amazing. Having had a couple of days to reflect I can say that this was my top dining experience of the year, and it is a shame that only 24 people can eat here on the few nights they are open. The service was personal, warm, and near perfect. I would compare it to Eleven Madison Park, Addison, and AbaC. The dishes at Etoile were beautifully constructed and cocktails, mocktails, and wine paring were all selected and perfected to deliver a transformative experience. Etoile orchestrated an experience that made eight of us feel part of something more than dinner. They have one seating and a set tasting menu, with a well-planned option for vegetarians. The "cocktail hour" before the meal pulled us in and opened the experience in a way that let us know we were being welcomed "home" and about to take part in a bigger dinner party. There were three groups having birthdays and without any of us realizing it they placed the three candled cakes down in synch so the room filled with people singing Happy Birthday. The little details made the night. Once people have discovered it there will be no way to get a reservation and I for one feel privileged to have eaten here. I hope they don't change a thing and i can get a table the next time I am in town. Don't think about it just book Etoile. You will not be disappointed!

The food and experience were fantastic. In my opinion the caviar Red Potato Gratin dish was my favorite of the night on 8/1/24. Christiana and Kaylynn were spectacular and made a great team. They were both very friendly and attentive. Chef Doupont did an amazing job putting together a unique delicious menu.Why go to Commanders and beg for a table to get their tasting menu when you can go Etoile and have a better experience in a more intimate setting in a stunning building! Thanks for a great night!Cfolse

The crab, fried tomato gazpacho was delicious. So many layers of flavor! Chef Dupont made this play on a French toast that I can't even describe. It was inventive and delicious. It's wonderful to see Chef in his new restaurant, sharing his talent and love for food with New Orleans. Chef DuPont is one of our favorite chefs. He was in Birmingham for many years, and we loved his restaurant, Cafe Dupont. We had our wedding party at his restaurant, and he created the most memorable party for us. New Orleans, you are lucky to have Étoile!
