The partner's word
Atchafalaya, in New Orleans’ Irish Channel, pairs rustic elegance and Creole-cottage charm with refined contemporary cooking and is known for its renowned brunch, inventive cocktails, curated wine list and attentive service. The building’s culinary history dates to 1924 as Petrossi’s and later Cafe Atchafalaya; owners including the James sisters sourced produce, crawfish and rice from their Opelousas farm, helping pioneer farm-to-table practices. After Hurricane Katrina the interior was remodeled using reclaimed materials, and in 2008 Rachael Jaffe and Tony Tocco rebranded the space as Atchafalaya, adding live music and a forward-looking menu; the restaurant earned Fodor’s top ten urban brunch spots (2015) and is listed by the Michelin Guide as a selected restaurant, with a beverage program that features seasonal sourcing and house-made infusions.
The dining rooms are warm and dimly lit, set with glistening stemware on crisp white linens in a cozy Creole-cottage setting with rustic touches. Guests may gather at a provocative lounge/bar, dine in two dining rooms or a semi-private “poker room,” and use dog-friendly outdoor seating.
Atchafalaya serves contemporary takes on Southern and Creole/New Orleans cuisine, weaving farm-to-table influences and seasonality into both brunch and a multi-course dinner program. The menu emphasizes regional ingredients prepared with classical technique and occasional modern or international accents.
Executive Chef Christopher Lynch trained under a Master French Chef and at the Culinary Institute of America, and brings experience from Gautreau’s, Emeril’s and Commander’s Palace; he leads the kitchen with a blend of classical technique and regional influence.
Signature dishes include the Bywater Bloody Mary (a green Bloody Mary), Lowcountry Shrimp & Grits, Crab Cake Benedict, Pan Seared Gulf Fish, Crispy Duck Leg Confit and the Mardi Gras Waffle (brunch special).
