Tujague’s

Tujague's is the second-oldest restaurant in New Orleans, the birthplace of brunch, and the location of the country's first stand-up bar, but it is first and foremost a local eatery in the French Quarter, the country's first settlement. Unquestionably one of New Orleans' most renowned and historic eateries, Tujague's is steeped in gourmet legend. Tujague’s Restaurant is one of the oldest restaurants in New Orleans.

Guillaume Tujague, a French immigrant who spent three years working as a butcher in the French Quarter, decided to start selling his own food and started the restaurant in 1856. Guillaume and his wife Marie Abadie Tujague soon expanded their business, beginning with serving breakfast and lunch to the dock workers, market employees, and sailors who swarmed that section of the New Orleans riverfront.

According to local tradition, Tujague’s became famous because of two dishes, the boiled brisket with vegetables and shrimp remoulade. Guillaume sold Tujague's to Philibert Guichet before he passed away in 1912. Until Steven Latter purchased the eatery in 1982, the Guichet family maintained ownership and management of Tujague's. Following extensive research into Tujague's heritage, Latter gave the restaurant a total makeover and decorated the walls with artifacts commemorating Tujague's past.
