    The Court of Two Sisters, though a typical "must-see" for tourists in the French Quarter, it is without a doubt my favorite place to dine when I visit the city. There is both indoor and outdoor seating, the latter which is covered in a vined canopy, centered around a gorgeous water fountain and complemented by a friendly Jazz band. The food is exceptional, it presents a wonderful variety of the typical dishes of the area. It's a gorgeous place to sit back, enjoy and load up on new foods while anticipating the wonders which lie ahead. I highly recommend to sit outside in the courtyard, it is a completely different experience than if you get stuck sitting inside. If they do try to sit you inside, make sure to ask for an outside table if you want it -they will accomodate you.

    The Court of Two Sisters has such a huge variety of dishes that it is hard to pick just one. Whether you want to try crawfish for the first time or sit down with some good ol' sausage andouille, you pretty much cannot miss out on anything New Orleans in this restaurant. Start of with the mimosas and finish with some king cake, just make sure to try everything in between!

    Unforgettable dining, thanks to a large courtyard and an extensive brunch buffet.
    Fountains and a playful jazz band create a soothing atmosphere under a canopy of wisteria in the French Quarter's biggest courtyard for dining. Inside is elegantly done with white linen and mirrors.
    One of the very best outdoor dining locations in the city of New Orleans.

    Too many choices on the Jazz Brunch to decide a favorite dish. Try the grits and grillades.

    The location of The Court of Two Sisters dates back almost to the founding of New Orleans. In 1886, the Camors sisters opened what the French would call a "rabais shop" in an ancient building on Royal Street. The Shop of the Two Sisters offered many things of interest to the public, from little notions to the elegance of a ball dress.

    Unfortunately, the prosperity the sisters enjoyed during the latter part of the nineteenth century quickly faded in the years of the Great Depression, and the lovely little curio shop was destined for new ownership. The building passed through many hands for the next few decades, serving as a bistro, a refreshment stand and even a speakeasy.

    Amid flowering plants and quietly flowing fountains in a courtyard accented by old-world French architecture, The Court of Two Sisters offers a world-famous daily Jazz Brunch Buffet with a delicious display of hot and cold dishes. For sentimental and romantic occasions, The Court of Two Sisters could be considered a destination for families and couples. By night, the courtyard truly comes alive with flickering gas lights and candle-lit tables.

    Having brunch here is a definite "do". The crawfish etoufee is a favorite of mine. I would finished off the meal with a cup of coffee and creme brulee, a delectable treat that is quite rich.

    My daughter likes the selection of breads, and the omlette table during brunch.

  • The food was local fare...with other things mixed in as well. Everything from crawfish to Eggs Benedict to pasta salad to champagne! A little pricey but a great experience! There is a a beautiful courtyard with a fountain. My recommendation is to try a little bit of everything!

    Mmmm, the bread pudding and rum sauce! The Eggs Benedict were great as well!

    The Court of Two Sisters boasts the largest courtyard in the French Quarter. Here you'll find locals and tourists out for an elegant evening away from all the chaos of Bourbon St. They actually have two entrances: one on Royal and one on Bourbon. If you really want to experience what I love most about the French Quarter -- concurrent alternative realities -- spend half an hour on Bourbon St. before coming here. Tour past the loud bars, the street performers, the hand grenade stand, the drunks, the topless/bottomless spot, etc. until you've had enough. Then dive into the Two Sisters Bourbon St. entrance for a radically different reality. The two are just a few feet apart. It's amazing!

    I shot my wad and had the prix fix menu at a table disappointingly occupied only by myself. The service was excellent but the food itself showed the strain of hundreds of customers per day. It was all good but nothing was outstanding; nothing was unique. The salad, in fact, was downright plain. I guess it's only served to tourists like me, though. True southerners always sautee their greens in butter and cream. To top everything off you should finish with Bananas Foster.

    Based on other tips I've read I'd probably recommend the Two Sisters for the Jazz Brunch but not necessarily for dinner. I do feel like I got value for my money, though. One has to pay for ambience and good service and that was served up in abundance.

  • Beautiful courtyard in a city that is full of beautiful courtyards. If you come here, make sure you're seated as the sun goes down so you can enjoy the full spectrum as the lights creep down the buildings and the courtyard lights take over.

    The filet was very good besides being a tad raw for my taste.

  • The atmosphere sitting in a secluded courtyard and garden within the French Quarter with some background live-jazz is un-repeatable! The variety of the buffet is big, so you get an opportunity to try all major cajun specialities, although other food is offered too. The quality, considering the big number they cater for, is acceptable. The service certainly is stressed in such a full place, especially on such a day when it starts to rain without end and all guests including their food and drinks have to be placed inside suddenly. But they coped with it with great ease and remained to be very helpfull and polite.

    This restaurant has been in Nawlins for a long time. Nice courtyard where you can enjoy good relaxing meal at fairly reasonble price.

    Anything Cajun. Oysters are good too
