About

Bar: Full bar

La Petite Grocery isn't your typical French-Cajun bistro. It started life as a corner grocery, then a flower shop, before becoming the cozy, low-key spot it is today. The vibe is mixed-gay-straight and relaxed, with a well-dressed Uptown crowd. Chef Justin Devillier's award-winning menu changes daily, and happy hour (Tuesday through Saturday, 5:30-6:30pm) features $1 cocktails and small plates for just $3-6.

Lunch is a steal at around $12, while dinner prices climb higher. The full bar and outdoor seating make it easy to linger. Sunday brunch runs 10:30am-2:30pm, and reservations are recommended. It's the kind of place where regulars know to stop by for a quick bite and end up staying for hours.

La Petite Grocery is located in the Uptown / Garden District area near General Pershing St, drawing a polished local crowd from the surrounding neighborhoods.
