In Short
Hardwood floors, tables and chairs scattered in front of a fireplace; the decor is reminiscent of a French countryside cottage. Orders are placed at the front counter and brought to the table. Full breakfast, lunch and dinner menus are available; however, patrons are invited to come just for a glass of wine or cup of coffee. No meal would be complete without trying the strawberries Romanoff--fresh strawberries topped with brandy cream sauce.

very good

by ljkubie

Food was great, we got a little of everything. Great soups and pastries ! Homemade chips to die for. They've put a little twist on classic sandwiches and kicked it up a notch

• Pros: food, food, food

Great baked goods

by mgorfain

In the early mornings in the Quarter I'd walk to LA Madeleine and pick up a bunch of croissants and other baked good to take back to our room to eat in bed. The best pastries this side of Paris! Informal dining, other food is excellent & a good value as well.

Food to Die for

by kdlady62

We spent a week in New Orleans, and every morning we ate at La Madeleine. There was not a single thing that was not to die for. The chocolate Croissants were so amazing they brought tears to my eyes. The potatos au gratin, and hash-brown like patties were amazing, not to mention the chicken muchroom dish i tried. AMAZING is all I can say, a must try.

• Pros: amazing pastry, great for lunch, great for breakfast
• Cons: tad pricey
