Restaurant Week New Orleans 2025: King Brasserie

NEW ORLEANS (WGNO) — Guests staying inside the Hotel Fontenot are privy to one of New Orleans’ best brasseries: King Brasserie. The restaurant is located inside the hotel on Tchoupitoulas Street but attracts more than just people visiting the Big Easy, and that’s because of the quality of the food.

Chef Samuel Peery is the executive chef at the brasserie. He showed WGNO’s Amy Russo the menu he and his team came up with for New Orleans Restaurant Week.

“This year we’ve got some great options,” said Peery. “Our first choices are a gold tomato gazpacho. And we have an heirloom tomato and burrata salad with some blackberry and stone fruits. Our second course is going to be a summer squash and roasted tomato with some Gulf shrimp. We’re going to make cannelloni out of it. Our other option is a nice blackberry lacquered duck leg, and we crisp it up in the oven, some beautiful andouille sausage and fava beans. Then our last course is going to be a coconut tiramisu and then a buttermilk panna cotta. We’re doing that with some candied cashews and some, also some summer stone fruit.”

The interior at King Brasserie reflects a space fit for a king (or queen!). There are king-related characters on the walls, including the King of Rock and Roll, Elvis. Be sure to look up as well as various crowns line the ceiling.

“We want to cater to our friends and locals as well as around the French Quarter and, all over parts of the city,” said Peery.

A cool perk about King Brasserie is you can start ordering off the lunch menu as early as 7:00 a.m. A Restaurant Week lunch menu is being offered for $29. The dinner menu for Restaurant Week is $49.
