I went during Coolinary and it was AMAZING!!! I truly enjoyed my dining experience and the service. The deviled eggs were AMAZING and the collard greens were top tier . I'm not sure if the items on the menu I had are available throughout the year, but I would definitely go back. Oh and the lemoncello was the perfect cool dessert to finish all an amazing meal.

We tried this restaurant during Coolinary month. It was EXCELLENT. Everything was perfectly prepared and seasoned so well. I would definitely return. Try the potato, crabmeat gnocchi. You'll not regret it. The peach ice cream was fresh and flavored without artificial flavors...like peach infused ice cream. Our waiter was friendly knowledgeable and brought us the most excellent "New Normal" cocktail.

What a great experience! We went to Patois for the Restaurant Week special. Everything was delicious and the service was top notch. Leo was at front of house and was very kind and helpful!

My all time favorite restaurant in New Orleans. I’ve never had anything I didn’t love and the service is absolutely top notch. Don’t forget to buy a round for the back!

Service was great, food was great. Food came out in a timely manner. The tip was already included in the bill. It’s a short walk from Audubon Park (maybe 5 minutes). Food was delicious! We ordered the Mussels and the Gnocchi appetizers which were great and decently big - the gnocchi definitely feels like it was fresh made in-house. We also ordered the Pecan Crusted Fish which was very tasty and cooked perfectly. The entree and two appetizers were enough to fill our family of 4, though none of us eat particularly large meals. We ordered the good boy which is a mocktail, but it can also be made into a cocktail (the “bad boy” Staff was friendly and helpful. There was plenty of room when we went for lunch, but you can make reservations online.

Too many great choices. Planning a return trip to taste more dishes. Potato gnocchi is light fluffy and extraordinary. Apple galette a la mode alone is Wort three trip.

If you’re looking for an intimate, yet quintessential New Orleans neighborhood restaurant, this is your place! Food was impeccable and staff was so helpful. We had the Lamb Ribs to start (a must!) and the green heirloom salad. For our main, we got the special, which was duck with dirty rice and roasted carrots. For dessert, we got the chocolate budino. So delicious! Can’t wait to come back again.

I was a single party looking for a quaint place with outdoor sitting and Patois fit the bill. The staff was attentive and welcoming. The flavoring for their dishes was excellent and the portions were perfect for me. I will say that I prefer when there is free bread for the table but other than that, enjoyed it and would recommend!!
