What People Are Saying About Bon Ton Cafe

The Scene – Hometowners who know where to get good food and hotel visitors hungry for authentic local dining love this place. Brick walls and cast iron sconces create a uniquely New Orleans atmosphere. The dining room is charmingly small. The staff is professionally attentive. – – The Food – Traditional Cajun creations made from the fruits of the bayou. Favorites such as crawfish étouffée, shrimp Creole and crawfish bisque are the dishes that defined this culinary genre. The crawfish dinner is an excellent way to try the many ways Bon Ton cooks this Cajun…

i dream about the food i had
by 50burgersangel at Citysearch
It's been years since my visit to Bon Ton. In 2004 I was in New Orleans for a business trip. I luckily went to Bon Ton early in the trip and had time to go a second time.
The turtle soup, etouffee, and bread pudding with whiskey sauce invade my dreams. I will admit i'm not from New Orleans, rarely get to eat etouffee, never had turtle soup but i lived on bread pudding. I haven't been able to get that meal out of my head all these years. How many meal can you remember eating 7 years later?
I did get to use per diem to pay for my decadence but i believe it would be worth it again and again and again...

Best Turtle Soup in the World
by nolascene at Citysearch
I love this locally owned and operated restaurant. The turtle soup is a must as is the black drum with charbroiled oysters. Very friendly waitstaff. Never a bad experience.
- Pros: Black Drum with Charbroiled oysters
- Cons: LINES

Classic New Orleans, good service, decent food. WAY OVERPRICED. I'm born and raised in New Orleans and tried Bon Ton Cafe for lunch for the first time the other day. Unfortunately, I probably won't be back because of the prices. $30 for lunch is a little much, sorry. If the food was great, then I wouldn't mind; but it was just okay.
- Pros: Service, Atmosphere
- Cons: Value for Price Paid, Parkin

Decent not great...

Too expensive for the quality of food. The signature drink is good, but the food was underseasoned and the service was slow, even for NOLA. Go to Bourbon House on Iberville instead. Pros: romantic ambience
