Sweet Valentines from NOLA Restaurants

February 1 2022 | What's New

Roses? Jewelry? A day of beauty at her favorite spa? Guys, we’re going to let you in on a little something. The only thing you really need to give your Valentine this year is a spoon. Take her to one of these beloved restaurants this February 14 and then don’t ask her if she wants dessert – ask her which dessert she wants (huge difference). Anyway, here are a few of the ooey-ist and gooey-ist from around town. To make reservations, just click on the links.

Tujague's

This Valentine’s Day, try Tujague's take on Chocolate Molten Cake. They'll also be offering Bread Pudding and Chocolate Molten Cake, topped with a chocolate-covered strawberry and seasonal fruit coulis.

SoBou

Never had Cherries Jubilee? How about Cherries Jubilee & White Chocolate Bread Pudding? We can’t think of a better time than Valentine’s Day to give it a shot. The house-made vanilla bean ice cream here is extra creamy dreamy. Like we said, who needs flowers?

Porter & Luke's

Been good on your New Year's diet so far? You're about to blow it. Porter & Luke's Chantilly Cheesecake is amazing!

Commander's Palace

Next time somebody says, "Have you ever had Commander's Bread Pudding Souffle," you can say yes! It's delicious and fun to share,
just like your life together.

Oceana Grill

This warm Praline Brownie is topped with vanilla bean ice cream, and is smothered in carmelized pecan rum sauce and pecan pieces.
This must be love.

Mambo's

You'll be sweet on Mambo's Chocolate Kahlua Mousse! Golden toffee crunches float among clouds of creamy, rich Kahlua chocolate mousse.

Nola Cookery

Who need diamonds when there's Kentucky Bourbon Pecan Pie from Nola Cookery? Imagine large buttery pecans layered on a rich, smooth filling with a hint of Kentucky bourbon on a pastry crust.

Bobby Hebert's Cajun Cannon

Is there any cookie better than the Oreo? If so, we've never found it. Bobby Hebert's Oreo Crumble Cheesecake sits on a perfectly baked Walnut Graham Cracker Crust and is generously covered with Oreo pieces and topped off with Chocolate Drizzle. Mmmm.

Messina's Runway Cafe

Come experience Chef Daryl's Valentine's Special at this sweet cafe in the Lakefront Airport. For $150 for two, you can enjoy Lobster Bisque, Steak Diane, and Creme Brûlée made with decadent dark chocolate, decorated with fresh berries. Menu available Saturday, February 12 and Sunday, February 13. Reserve a table at 504-241-5300.

Lantil's Landing at Houmas House

Lantil’s Landing at Houmas House is worth the drive up from New Orleans this Valentine's Day. They're offering a romantic dinner with a wine pairing. What's for dessert, you ask? How about Cornbread Bread Pudding with milk chocolate anglaise, buttermilk satsuma ice cream and candied mint? See full menu. Make reservations.
