Olivier's is an authentic French Quarter Creole restaurant cooking traditional recipes handed down through five generations of our family, plus some new innovations. Olivier's is family-owned and operated, moderately priced, and quintessentially New Orleans, right down to the Southern hospitality you'll experience at every meal.

In the kitchen at Olivier's, Chef Armand Olivier III cooks the same dishes his family and ancestors have been feasting on for the last five generations, along with his own inspired, innovative new creations. Here you'll find specialties such as Creole Rabbit, Pecan Breaded Oysters, Crawfish Etouffe, and our famous Gumbo Trio.

Editorial Review for Olivier's Creole Restaurant – by Citysearch Editors

In Short
Colorful linen and smart oak walls define the term "casually elegant." Sunlight streaming through expansive street-front windows dapples diners as French Quarter visitors pass outside. Fried fish and shrimp share menu space with down-home versions of rabbit (with oyster-sage dressing) and beef bourguignon (smothered with mushrooms, onions, peppers and a molasses and mint sauce). The gumbo sampler and the taster's platter (fish, shrimp, oysters, crab cake and gumbo) provide the definitive overview.

1 Star Rating: Not Recommended

its funny, this place has gotten several non-5-star reviews, yet it "averages" to 5-stars! how is this possible!? ive noticed they advertise heavily on the site as well. anyway, this place is long gone -- it may have been good when the grandfather of the current chef was cooking, i dont know. but currently, its just bland, bland. tacky decor too. i think it gets by on unsuspecting tourists... definitely not a serious player in the nola dining scene.

Pros: in the quarter

Cons: not worth eating at

5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

We dined at Olivier's for the first time last week. We were welcomed, seated, and treated to an absolutely wonderful experience. From the welcome at the front door to the good bye as we left, we were made to feel like old friends. The salad was crisp and fresh, each entre was so pleasing to look at, you almost didn't want to disturb the sight. (You get over that quickly when you taste!) There was a wonderful, non hurried pace that allowed you to truely enjoy the meal, the conversation, the beauty of quieter time. There is a romantic atmosphere in the high ceiling dining room with a beautiful staircase and tall windows with lace curtains. I was told there is additional seating on the second floor and they can accomodate large groups. What a wonderful place for a wedding reception. We are already making plans to return to New Orleans and we will make Olivier's our first dinner reservation.
