Silver Whistle Café

A small classic breakfast cafe, it was very wonderful and the staff were informative and kind. The food was on point very delicious and not very heavy on the stomach. The cafe was quaint and beautiful!

They make perfect eggs. A couple of times I just got eggs and a croissant. I was amazed at how perfect the yolks were done. Fast service. Charming ambiance in a historic hotel. A nice way to start the day.

Sandwich was simple, but had a burst of flavor with some delicious garlic aioli! The grits were so creamy, perfectly seasoned, I wanted to eat two helpings but I was so full!! Also a delicious cappuccino and a beautiful little space. It's in a historic hotel in towns and it's absolutely perfect and quaint. The team of staff was very attentive and friendly, I appreciate so much that the manager (I think) came to speak to us directly !! I saw the eggs Benedict all over Yelp and that's what I was looking forward to, he explained some changes; and I found a delicious alternative! Definitely a place to stop by on your way through New Orleans!

The Silver Whistle Café, inside the Pontchartrain Hotel. One of my family's favorite breakfast spots. Convenient location, right off St Charles Street, excellent food, excellent service. Being a breakfast spot, there is a limited menu and limited hours, sadly, 7am to 11am. So you need to be a morning person (shudder!) to enjoy their delicious breakfasts. For what the Silver Whistle Café is, Five-Star food and Seven-Star service.

The pastries are a highlight here. One of the best pan au chocolates I've had in a really long time. Coffee is ok, but the service shines here. From the host to the baristas to the wait staff, everyone was always so kind and amenable. I really appreciated their positivity in the early AM.

I was really excited about this spot, great location inside a historic hotel. Breakfast menu is small but sufficient. They also have a variety of coffee offerings include espresso, lattes, etc. My mother and I ate here on a Tuesday morning. It was NOT busy and they had 3 ladies working the front. What rates them 3 stars is the fact that it took them 20+ minutes to make my latte and deliver it to the table. My food ended up coming out before the latte and the chef ended up making it himself. I don't know what the other 2 ladies were doing but they definitely weren't organized. Extremely irritating for something that can be made in less than 2 minutes. Really ruined the experience for me. I recommend the food but bring your own coffee!!

Great coffee in first floor of Pontrachain hotel... service is terrific and easy spot for a quick pick me up.

This place was less than a block from our hotel and I am glad it was. We enjoyed the classic New Orleans breakfast of eggs, bacon, toast and grits a few times. It hit the spot. The grits were the best I have ever had, the bacon was crispy and the rest just hit the spot. The coffee and chai were also delicious. We were always getting ours to go, but the cafe is in a delightful old building that has been tastily restored.

Most of the Popular Dishes listed in Yelp are no longer available at Silver Whistle. They've scaled back drastically: they don't even have 2% milk, just whole. What they have is adequate and better than the food from a 7 Eleven, but the attempt to do the bare minimum is seen in every choice. I don't usually give a review at all if it's below 4 stars (the world doesn't need more haters), but the previous Yelp reviews and item mentions would leave too many people misinformed of the changes for me not to say something. Other than that, the place is at least kind of cute.

Delicious breakfast and charming restaurant. Only open for breakfast. Staff went out of their way to accommodate special requests and substitutions.
