The Elysian Bar

Welcome to the Elysian Bar, where breakfast dreams come true! The Elysian Breakfast serves up fluffy eggs, crispy bacon, and roasted potatoes that practically beg for a selfie. But let's not forget the fried grits--golden, crunchy bites of happiness that redefine comfort food! Pair that with a vanilla cappuccino, a frothy masterpiece that whispers sweet nothings to your soul. If you're in New Orleans, don't miss this spot. It's a breakfast experience that'll leave you smiling brighter than a jazz musician on a sunny day!

This place was beautiful. It's in an old church or monastery. It was very dark and romantic if you're into that kinda thing or need a date night. We split some tuna crudo to start. Very good. I think I picked the best thing on the menu the grilled gulf fish (it was snapper that night) it was amazing. Lima bean bed and the fish sauce great.

We made reservations for a Saturday night in the Atrium before going to a show at the Marigny Theater. The restaurant, bar, and atrium are very beautiful and the lighting gives it a romantic vibe. Our food was delivered quickly and was delicious. We got a tuna crudo to start and the sauce below the tuna was fabulous! I got the chicken under a brick which had a great crunchy skin. The salad like part of the dish was okay but I could have done without it. My SO got the gulf fish and his whole dish was delicious. Our friend got small plates: the gnocchi, focaccia, and olives. The gnocchi was definitely a highlight and the olives came warmed which was nice. Our only issue was with the service from the bar. We were seated quickly and ordered 2 glasses of wine and a cocktail. It took them about 15-20 minutes for them to realize they didn't have the ingredients for the cocktail and another 15 minutes before the replacement cocktail was delivered. Then we made a mistake and ordered another round of cocktails thinking we had enough time to drink them before heading to the show. 20 minutes quickly passed and we had to find our waiter to have the 2 old fashioneds we ordered be poured into go cups. It's been a while since I've been somewhere that takes forever to make a simple old fashioned. Definitely go for the food and the drinks if you don't have plans afterwards.

Elysian Bar has been our favorite meal to date this trip to NOLA. The restaurant has an adorable ambiance and we sat in the parlor room, which was beautiful. Service was great by Ryan. Our favorite dishes in this order were-Poached Shrimp-Chicken Under a Brick-Little Gem Salad-Gnocchi-Fresh Fettuccine -Focaccia The focaccia was the least favorite - it was dry, and the fettuccine didn't have very much crab. The bathroom was clean with nice amenities. Overall, the spot was a great find and we'd highly recommend it!

I recently visited The Elysian Bar for brunch on a Friday morning with friends who were staying at Hotel Peter and Paul. We all loved it!The food was absolutely fantastic. I ordered the breakfast sandwich, which came on a homemade biscuit that was just incredible. We also ordered a plate of French toast to share, and it was hands-down my favorite dish of the meal. And the mimosas made with freshly squeezed orange juice were the perfect touch. The atmosphere was another highlight. We sat in the atrium, which was cozy and charming. The bar area looked super cool as well--I'm already planning to come back here for drinks at the bar next time.Service was good too, friendly and efficient. Overall, The Elysian is a hidden gem for brunch in New Orleans. Highly recommend, whether you're a local or just visiting!

The atmosphere is charming and the food was fantastic. The service was friendly, although a bit lacking in follow through. We started with the focaccia that is supposed to come with whipped honey butter. It was with a small dish of olive oil instead. We had to wait until our server walked past again and ask about the butter. She went to go get it, and came back and said that more was being made. We didn't see her or get the butter from her. Our entree's arrived and we asked again about the butter. The server (maybe a manager?) apologized and said she would bring out a new bread (since this one got cold) and the butter. It came out within 3 minutes and was very good. My husband got the pork entree and said it was delicious. I got the chicken under a brick and am so glad I did! It was delicious. Crispy skin that adhered to the chicken and very well seasoned. I recommend it!

Polly and Tim are some of the best bartenders out there! This place not only has the looks (well, of course it's beautiful) and the drinks, but the food is DELICIOUS! I came down to the Elysian Bar every day of my stay. Everyone at this hotel was hospitable to a T and I could not recommend checking this place out enough! I wish I had visited more when I lived in the quarter. Make sure to go for apertivio hour!

In addition to the unique and gorgeous interior, the food and craft cocktails were amazing. The pasta dish I had (with crab) was one of the best things I have ever eaten. It was a unique and very special experience. Cannot wait to go back.

We returned as we wanted our sister in law to see the hotel and bar for when she returns with her husband.We had dinner and it was very good and the wine list had improved. We ordered the Mendocino Cab and it was a good choice.Too hot to sit out in the gorgeous courtyard so ate in the Atrium overlooking it. Small space there but the ambiance was good though the space can get a bit loud as tables are close together.Service was excellent and the pricing was reasonable.The beef tartare was good but the mains and dessert were excellent.Fish of the day and Tri Tip highly recommended; the latter might be the best Tri Tip we've ever had.Desserts were on the large side but delicious as were the slow to come cocktails.

Great food, with a beautiful ambiance with some great wines to choose from. The service from the welcome (thanks Hope) to the table and then the bar was great! I started with oysters, focaccia (with the honey butter without the salt) and the octopus; all great starters with the white wine (great suggestions by Jocelyn) My main dish was the brick chicken which is definitely a hit for The Elysian Bar. I wiped the dish clean so be sure to get this. Travis saw me eyeing the bar and helped me to get a seat, which is where I ended the night with Andres, who had other great beverage selections. Certainly a great time and I'll be sure to dine with them again. Check them out. You won't be disappointed. Enjoy!
