New Orleans' Best-kept Secret

Since 1996, Le Parvenu has been serving up "Innovative American Creole" cuisine---including oyster doubloons, paneed lobster, and mirliton bisque--in historic Rivertown just 5 minutes from the airport. Enjoy an elegant night out away from the hustle and bustle with a delicious five-course ever-changing menu and full bar with 25 vintage wines by the carafe. See our menus for Brunch, Lunch, Dinner, and the Wine List.
Thanks to owner/chef Dennis Hutley, the menu at Le Parvenu is different from anywhere else. After 25 years cooking in five-star French and Creole restaurants, Chef Dennis prepares Le Parvenu's signature entrees by combining European techniques with New Orleans flavors into an "Innovative American Creole" experience.

Creole Cottage Setting

At Le Parvenu, it's easy to feel at home. The restaurant resides in a 75-year-old former tea house, since retrofitted with white-linen tables and art depicting the jazz era and bayou life. Reservations are highly recommended (504-471-0534), although you can peruse our charming gardens while you wait.

Our four dining rooms have been painted in warm, inviting hues, and the kitchen has been converted into a cozy bar area. In typical southern fashion, and whitewashed wraparound deck offers extended seating and great al fresco ambiance. In the spacious lawn, feel free to peruse our award-winning gardens. We offer fine dining in a business casual atmosphere.

Southern Hospitality

Le Parvenu is happy to host your private event. We can easily accommodate Bridal Luncheons, Showers & Teas, Rehearsal Dinners, Private & Business Dinner Parties, Business Luncheons, & Sunday Brunch.
