As a party of four attending brunch, we ordered 3 small plates and 3 large selections. Our server brought them to the table in succession so we could all share each item. The flavors of fresh ingredients each containing a hidden surprise element of citrus, tang, spice, crunch, heat, or herbal addition made for a taste-bud success. Don’t let the description “Italian Cuisine” pigeon-home the menu. It is quite varied and ethnically eclectic.

My wife and I went in for our anniversary after reading multiple reviews and we were really blown away. The food, atmosphere and service were great and a real social distance program was enforced but not militant or a hindrance. We appreciated the extra steps to protect both us and their staff.
I entertain for business a good bit and am always searching for new places to add to our list of the old and established spots out of town guests want to experience. Paladar 511 is wonderful and we are out the MS River for work project and I surprised the wife with a return visit a week later.
Not sure how we will ever have items other than the following truly wonderful appetizers and entrees. The Arancini, Tuna Crudo and Cavatelli were mouthwatering good, full of flavors and textures and just head bopping good from the first bite. The Seared Red Snapper and Wagyu Hangar Steak were just perfectly cook and prepared and our return visit we had theLamb Merguez Sausage pizza and it was truly wonderful.
Folks rave about the pizza and now we know why, but it is the type of place you could easily frequent twice a week for menu exploration. On both trips were were just giddy because of the wonderful food we were blessed with. I tend to be critical in all things so far the only complaint I have is I would recommend they serve the Snapper with a sharp no serrated knife. The skin was perfectly cooked and crispy but fell apart cutting it with a butter knife.
Paladar 511 is in our list to return to soon and my friends and family that follow me are all asking about it after posting some photos. We’ll Be Back, Ya Hear...

We landed at Paladar 511 on a whim. Having arrived in NOLA after a woeful day of delays and rebookings, we missed our ghost tour and needed to find some food. After reading up on some reviews, we randomly picked Paladar 511.
Our meal here ended up being our favorite of the entire trip! The atmosphere is hip without being hipster. The staff was very friendly and accommodating, adeptly answering our questions as we had food allergies in our group.
Everything we ordered was fantastic. Squid ink pasta, farm egg pizza, local lettuces, carrots, and seared red snapper! Everything amazing! We finished with the lemon tart. The only weak link in our opinion was the wine list. We tried a few between us and couldn't find one we really liked. Very minor critique as this place will be on our must go list on any return trip.

During our New Years family trip to NOLA, we were so excited to visit Paladar 511. We made reservations about 3-4 weeks in advance. Upon arrival (5pm when the doors open) our experience took a turn immediately. Now, we are a party of 6 adults ranging in age from 24 to 57, and we know that a larger than average party can present issues on seating etc. That is why we made rezzies at 5pm, opening hour. Keep in mind that 3 family members work in the food and service industry. We were seated briefly by the host and then our server took over and immediately identified where we must sit, in relationship to the table. I never received advice like this in all my years dining or working in the industry, but she explained that her reasoning was to be able to access her service area, near the pizza station. Mind you, no one in our party was obese and i should have instantly asked to move to another area. But sadly I did not. We were the last table in the corner. From there, our server couldn't be more rude and condescending. I will say that with the exceptions of the errors she made in taking/placing the order the food was delicious. But the experience was terrible. Errors on orders, errors on wine selections and drinks and serving food at all different times, (like soup served after entree) Adding insult to our visit was when she added 22% gratuity to our check.....after the taxes were totaled. what? so you must pay gratuity on taxes? for terrible service? at 22 percent ?? To be clear, the next day I called Paladar 511 just to clarify if this was common practice or simply a server mistake. I left a v-mail and the message I left was clear on all of the servers insults and mistakes as well mentioning that apart from service, food was very good. I left my name , my telephone number and hotel that I was staying. Sadly Paladar 511 never returned my call. I chalked it up as the server having a crappy day and taking it out on customers. But the biggest disappointment was never receiving a return phone call. I travel to NOLA 2-3 x a year and many of my associates also visit. I can not recommend this restaurant until I or someone in my family returns and gives Paladar 511 one more chance at redemption. Until then ...initial experience was a terrible experience had by all.

You may not think “Italian” when visiting NO, but this newer restaurant is excellent - made the Picayune’s top 10 list and was featured in NYT. Located on Marigny at Decatur in a repurposed warehouse, the brick walls, tall ceilings and openness make it feel nice enough for a romantic dinner and fun enough for a group of friends. Wait staff was great! Food was mmmmaybe a top 3 all time dinner for me. I liked the smaller but not too small entree’ portions and while they were able to serve the fish gluten free for me, I just don’t know how it could have been any better.

At the suggestion of a friend, we came to dinner at Paladar tonight. We had the Roasted Squash Salad, the Spicy San Marzano Tomato, Marscapone and Wild Arugula Pizza, and the Meyer Lemon Tart with Candied Kumquat. We also had the Vertigo cocktail and the Espresso Martini. Everything was fantastic. I want a vat of the browned butter vinaigrette from the salad. Simply delicious and visually pleasing.
Our server, Morgan, made our dinner even better. She was helpful with picking dishes and drinks and gave us outstanding service. She was personable, anticipated our needs and made us feel like her only table (we weren’t). Owners, give Morgan a bonus!
Thanks for one of the best dinners I have had in a while, Paladar and Morgan.

We were craving a brick-oven for pizza, and Paladar 511 did not disappoint. Began with a scrumptious fried cauliflower starter that exceeded any expectations I could have had, then moved to a delicious spicy San Marzano pizza with mascarpone cheese and arugula, and finished with the perfect Almond Semifreddo.
On top of it all, the seating and atmosphere were cozy with a very friendly and helpful staff. Definitely recommend to any who visit the city!

Great meal, service and atmosphere for my wife and me. Our waitress was very nice and took great care of us. We tried the fried cauliflower, little gem salad, cheese pizza, pappardelle and almond semifreddo for dessert. All were very fresh, well prepared and delicious. Making a reservation was easily done. They have reduced capacity for Covid and we felt very safe. Overall, great experience.

Nice space with good service. Appetizers were diverse and tasty as well as my fish dish but my wife and daughter, who love salt, said steak was way too salty. I agreed after taking a bite.

Perfect Brunch! If the beautiful space doesn’t wow you, nestled in the Bywater, the food will astound you. We started with light brunch drinks and our group of 6 mostly ordered the eggs Benedict and breakfast pizza; however, it was the three orders of lemon ricotta pancakes we shared that we actually fought over. Everything was perfect and the the service was impeccable. Don’t miss out on this great spot - I’d suggest reservations, I’d possible, especially for a group our size
I’ve been to New Orleans dozens of times, Paladar 511 goes on my list of must- do’s for my next visit.

This marvelous restaurant was an easy four blocks' stroll from our hotel. I think most people who are interested have considered going for dinner, but their brunch is wonderful. The lemon-ricotta pancakes with blueberry compote may be the best thing I ate in New Orleans, and you know that's saying a lot! The hostess and waitstaff were cheerful and courteous, and service was prompt. Highly recommended.

Exceptional experience at Paladar 511. This was our 2nd visit to New Orleans and was looking forward to trying more cuisine this time around. We had one of our friends who used to live in New Orleans have an acquaintance highly recommended this restaurant.
We had ordered 4 appetizers that absolutely delivered in every sense. The combination of flavors/textures was exquisite. Portions were more than generous but not too much. Plating was well throughout and beautiful.
Also had the chance to try one of their pizzas which was just as impressive. First thing to notice was the flavor of the crust which is the foundation of any pizza.
Cannot forget the cocktails that we had ordered as well which were delicious and well paired with our meals.
Couldn’t say anything better about the entree Saltimbocca which exceeded well past my expectations.
This restaurant at the moment is ranked #12 out of over 1,300 restaurants in New Orleans.
They deserve to be in the top 3 hands down.
Well done. Will be coming back to New Orleans mostly for this killer of a restaurant.
Thank you.

Holy cow what great food! Visited for Sat brunch. From the coffee to the sublime lemon ricotta pancakes everything was an A+. I don’t usual rave about “breakfast” but this went above and beyond. Highly recommend! My wife’s breakfast sandwich with a side of avocado was excellent. The accompanying potatoes: outstanding. My farm egg spicy pizza was off the chart. Even the generous portion of a side of bacon was exemplary both in size and flavor. Morning cocktails were well made. Service was attentive. One hint: you can order just one pancake if you want to try (and you should) without doing a full portion. They only serve their brunch menu on Sat and Sun. I have to believe — given the quality of the meal I experienced— that dinner won’t disappoint. In the Marigny…easy five minute walk from south end of the French Quarter. I heard it can get busy so make a reservation. Go.

My wife and I dined at Paladar 511 on our last night in NOLA. We were not disappointed. Jack, our server, provided excellent advice on the menu. The bartenders delivered on a somewhat unique cocktail request and our food was delivered promptly, piping hot and beautifully presented. We shared the Spicy San Marzano pizza and the Pappardelle. The pizza was undoubtedly one of the best pizzas we have ever had. The pappardelle was done perfectly with a nice hint of spice. We would highly recommend exploring Paladar 511.

We were staying in an Airbnb on Franklin street so this place was nearby. I’d booked it before we’d even taken our trip but then it was so good we came back on New Years Eve to get a walk-in seat at the bar/open kitchen. Loved the menu and small plates, it’s a place to definitely share food. First time we ate the burrata with red pepper, the raw tuna, the crab dish & rabbit with gnocchi. All excellent. Second time we ate the Arancini, the roasted cauliflower, the beet salad and the lamb sausage pizza. Highly recommend this place, lovely building, very well designed inside and buzzing atmosphere. It was great to see at the bar and open kitchen to watch them all work SO had! Well done Paladar for an awesome experience.

Faubourg Marigny
Nestled between the French Quarter and the Ninth Ward, the Faubourg Marigny environs are largely residential. Of course, folks around here love to go out and have a good time as much as they do anywhere in NOLA. And if out-of-towners want to join in the festivities, well then so much the better! Home to some of the most revered live music venues in New Orleans, an eclectic gaggle of gourmand dining destinations, and a come-as-you-are vibe that’s as infectious as it is alluring, this is real deal New Orleans oozing with southern hospitality and the promise of a most epic night out. For endless opportunities to boogie, to admire row upon row of lovingly restored homes, and to escape the fray of the more touristic parts of town (but still live it up in grand style) head to Faubourg Marigny.
