Chais Delachaise

I’ve been a fan of The Delachaise for years and had never been to Chais Delachaise until last week. I’ve been missing out! They have a great happy hour, half off wine and some app specials! We got the mussels and steak frites, both were divine! I also had a “handsome little guy” cocktail which was delicious! Finished up with a chocolate soufflé that was divine. Service was quick, helpful, and friendly. Will certainly be adding this to our date night rotation!

Dressed up for formal I arrived with my party of 6 and we had the best time! Incredible server (we arrived 2 minutes after Happy Hour ended and she let us get a round at Happy Hour prices!) and delicious food. We ordered the cauliflower and loved it and then almost as soon as we were done they brought out another. We informed them we did not order another and he said hmm okay well do you still want it free of charge? The cheese servings were very small but they tasted great and when we asked for extra bread they brought it promptly. Delicious cocktails, fantastic wine, wonderful staff, delightful food, and the perfect ambiance for a lovely night on any occasion!

This restaurant got us to leave another one to come back…. We arrived in New Orleans. A friend of a friend recommended this place. It was near our Airbnb and so we thought we’d give it a try. We are so incredibly glad we did. The first night we got the chef’s salad, salmon deviled eggs, fries and octopus. The second night we came to eat, we reordered the chefs salad and tried the pork noodle dish with truffle cream sauce. Everything was spectacular. Special shout out to the chefs salad Dijon mustard dressing, the pickled veggies and the octopus! The food was flavorful, beautifully presented and totally worth the price. We also got amazing drinks (please try the she left me one read!) and wine (the Provence Rose they had was top notch). I’ve talked a ton about the food but I can’t forgot the service. Sarah was our amazing server both nights. She was charismatic, had great taste in food (even recommended an amazing breakfast place for us) and simply entertaining. We also had the pleasure of talking with Lindy…another amazing server. Overall, this restaurant is delicious. It’s a must try. The porch dining, the ambiance, the food and the drinks are perfect. I’m sad that we are leaving tomorrow and can’t return for a third night.

I went to here for a Thursday date night. We ordered a couple small plates and shared a desert. My wife had a white wine. The small plates were very good, our desert (apple crisp) came out a little raw for our liking. The waiter gave us the correct bill, but paid a different table’s bill when he brought back my credit card. I know it’s a small mistake and the waiter rectified the issue. But my bill went from $67.00 to $107.00 and if I hadn’t noticed I would have been out almost $50.00.

Honestly the beignet dessert was a highlight! The most light, airy, and fluffy beignets and when paired with the mouse- delightful! I love deviled eggs and salmon but this smoked salmon deviled eggs appetizer did not do it for me- too fishy so I wouldn’t recommend that. Although the french fries were great with the aioli, the peanut sauce was interesting. Not sure it fully worked but an interesting experience. The veggie risotto was satisfying but honestly the dessert is the real reason I’m going with 5/5. Also our server was extremely sweet!

Has been THE goto place for happy hour. Amazing and consistent service, great wines for half price, and the best mussels in the city. I love sitting outside when it’s not too hot.

Great neighborhood spot. They have a diverse selection of wines from around the world, including from regions that aren't that easy to find in the US (Israel, Greece, Hungary). The fries are awesome and the prices are great, particularly during happy hour. Because of its location, you can sometimes get stuck in a really young and rowdy crowd. The vibe is better if you go earlier. Also, I wish they rotated their wines. It seems to be the same offerings every time.

Came for happy hour stayed for dinner. You will love this place!!! Pomme Frites, great wine, deviled eggs, charcuterie and pasta. Presentation was very artistic and appealing throughout. Relaxed on the front porch and enjoyed phenomenal service from an engaging staff. Very extensive wine list. This will be our go to wine bar in one of our favorite neighborhoods in NOLA.

This is a romantic hidden gem for wine lovers. I loved the ambience here and I loved the happy hour specials as well. We happened to come here during happy hour. It is not a huge restaurant and there is outdoor seating, but the place gets packed during HH which is 3-6 Wed to Sunday. We ordered some of the half off wine and food items from the HH menu were their popular sliders, pom frittes, and we ordered the steak board. I loved the fries and steak board. I wasn't digging the sliders but to each their own. I thought everything was fresh and presentation was spot on. The restaurant had more menu items on the wall and I plan to take total advantage of that the next time I come here. I also though the service was attentive and friendly as well. The bathrooms were also very well kept and clean. The whole atmosphere and decor was so New Orleans with just random stuff on the walls which I enjoyed as well. Keep up the great work and keep the HH too!

Really nice Uptown New Orleans neighborhood wine bar with great whiskey and cocktail offerings and killer food. Great happy hour with 1/2 off wine and select food items from 3-6 pm. The bartenders are really friendly and make some fantastic drinks. If you're in New Orleans and really want to get a feel for the city, check out any number of local neighborhood bars especially Chais Delachaise.

Super quaint restaurant and a great place for happy hour. Their happy hour deal consists of half of mussels, fries, and wine. Their specials change every so often on the chalkboard, but when I visited the grilled Caesar salad was on specials menu. It was outstanding! It was my first time trying a grilled salad and they definitely surpassed my expectations. The chicken was flavorful, croutons were perfectly crispy and I actually subbed the Caesar dressing for the Dijon vinaigrette which was chefs kiss! Other people at my table ordered the fries and mussels. The fries were tasty and come with some sort of Mayo sauce and ketchup. They had pretty good dessert options (sorbet, ice cream, apple crumble a la mode) which I definitely will try next time I visit. And out server was very sweet and prompt.

We came here for happy hour (4-6) for half off all bottles of wine and half off the mussels and fries! Both were excellent and great portions! Our server Sara was super nice and helpful, she gave us a lot of recs and talked through all of the wines with us. We sat outside on the front patio and it was just so lovely, busy but not too packed. Overall def recommend and will come back!

Tres bien! My French isn't so good anymore, but hopefully I'm saying: very good! My wife and I were on Maple Street and decided to stop by here for a late lunch on December 28, 2022. It was a beautiful day, so we grabbed a table outside. As luck would have it, they were offering 1/2 price wines. My wife had a glass of Prosecco, and I had a white wine from Croatia. We don't know much about wine, but both tasted good to us. To start, we ordered the Two Cheese Board, which came with brie and goat cheese. We also ordered the sliders, and the Tomato Basil Soup with cheesy bread. Everything was delicious! Service is friendly and professional. Prices are very reasonable for what you get.

Sometimes, the best meals have no photos at all. Such is the case with my visit here last night. My friend and I sat at one of the lovely outdoor tables for hours. It was perfect! We had 2 cheeses, the glorious French fries, and the steak appetizer. Everything was delicious. We had the most lovely server, and I regret not catching her name. She helped us choose a fabulous red wine and was so cheerful and funny. She also allowed us to stay until the place completely closed down. It had been a while since I had been here - I won't wait so long before coming back again. Highly recommended!

Food and service were incredible!! They have a great happy hour too for drinks. Amazing flavor

A very cute wine/cocktail bar in the heart of uptown! I went here on a cool Louisiana fall night and sat on the patio. I love how much outside seating they have and the string lights! It is also nice to sit outside right by the streetcar! I didn't get to try any food, but the menu looked great. I'll have to go back and try some! Overall, this is a great spot to gets drinks. (I also went on a Friday night and it wasn't too crowded)

Dog-friendly outdoor patio. I don't know if the beautiful indoor bar and dining room are also dog-friendly. There are lots of delicious small plates to share. We had sliders, sliced cow, deviled eggs, fried cauliflower, French fries, and a generous grilled octopus leg. Drinks were creative ($12 each. Service was fabulous. She'd "graduated" from Superior Seafood and was all over our every need, hustling but engaging just enough to cover her tables well. Onlly drawback was a few too many houseflies, but we were outside, after all. Give it a try.

The food was brought out in a timely manner. The waiter didn't make us feel rushed and let us take our time in ordering. The restaurants dining area inside was nice and the lighting was good.

Nice, cozy spot to grab happy hour drinks and snacks. They offer good specials on certain food items and drinks. Our server was great!! She was very attentive and gave good suggestions. Not a fan of pets during my HH but I guess this is what every establishment does these days...anywho..I really enjoyed the fries and mussels. I prefer a garlic butter sauce so the red sauce was quite different. Mussels were cooked perfectly and sauce was flavorful. Cheese board wasn't the greatest. Needed maybe some honey and different fixings. I don't remember the name but it came with a green cheese that didn't have much flavor. I would definitely return as it is a nice spot for an after work hang.

Was looking for a place to go with the family and read the reviews... two $$ and 4.1 rating... How could we go wrong? Anyway, while it is said that it's tough to find a bad meal in New Orleans, this time I was shocked at just how good the meal was. Between the four of us we had two of the fish and chips with the goose fat french fries, the pork noodles and the Bronzino. It was all terrific. The Bronzino, in particular was absolutely beautifully prepared, with lemons and rosemary and thyme in the belly, oven roasted sitting on roasted kale, and surrounded by roasted grape tomatoes and olives. The only nit is that it was a touch on the salty side, but otherwise was pitch perfect. Wine list is good and not overpriced ... We had the Txakolina, which was perfect with the Bronzino. Service was on the mark and pleasant. Plenty of beer on tap. No rush. Overall a great experience. Would highly recommend this neighborhood jam.

I came here for happy hour and it was a fantastic experience! Their drinks are tasty and creative and their little munchies hit the spot (cheese & French fries). I will have to come back!

I think 4 stars is an appropriate rating for this place. You enter a cute, New Orleans-style home decked with porch lights and you feel immersed in a sense of a welcoming, neighborhood experience. The waitresses were sweet and friendly, and the setup of the space makes it feel very cozy and romantic. We found that this place is more of a "shared snack/shared entree" kind of vibe which we like! But it meant I felt a little hungry afterwards. We had the pomme frites, fried cauliflower, chargrilled octopus, and the chimichurri steak plate. For the price point, I understand that they hand-make their own sauces and flavors and I overall enjoyed dining in! My favorites were the octopus and pomme frites. The cauliflower was a bit sour for my taste, and the steak was medium rare yet still hard to chew. We think it may just be the cut of the steak, and the chimichurri was amazing, but not worth the price in my opinion.

My favorite wine bar in the city. Has a great happy hour with amazing discounts on bottles/ glasses of wine, drinks and a handful of apps. Our go to is a bottle of wine and bowl of mussels with fries and a crusty baguette. Service is low key - you don't feel rushed and can sit back and enjoy your evening.

Great service! Good food! Mussels were delicious and fries were good, too. Desserts were excellent. Nice wine & bourbon selection. Cute patio. Would come again!

I came here during happy hour while killing time before a nail appointment and I'm really glad I stopped by. The service was top tier. I wish I remember the server's name because she was amazing. The wine was half off for happy hour and there was a happy hour frosé. I expected the frose to be kind of weak and it definitely wasn't lol. It was really good too. I had the sliders and I ordered fries to go along with that. Both were really good. It's a lot of fries though. You could probably share the fries with someone.

Great vibe of this place. Perfect for a date night. They had one of my fave wines-gruner. I've been searching for mussels that I liked in New Orleans and finally found a place! I would come back for the mussels and wine. The mussels were the perfect spice level! It is a thicker tomato sauce where I usually like more brothy but it was sooo good still! I wish there were more! Steak board was just ok!! Fries were pretty yummy. Service was great! I would sit at a regular table next time bc the bar top was kinda small. Will def be back.

I love this place. It has an ample and delicious selection of wine and spirits. The food is also good and the ambiance is nice. I go there with my girlfriends and on dates with my husband. Meaning it can be a romantic place for a night out or a cool place to hang out with friends.

This restaurant got us to leave another one to come back.... We arrived in New Orleans. A friend of a friend recommended this place. It was near our Airbnb and so we thought we'd give it a try. We are so incredibly glad we did. The first night we got the chef's salad, salmon deviled eggs, fries and octopus.

I'm sad that we are leaving tomorrow and can't return for a third night.

The charming, less expensive cousin of the well known, romantic St Charles twinkly lit wine bar. I've only been in the summer when it's fairly empty but I imagine it fills up quickly when the college students return, especially with the 3-6PM happy hour of $5 wines. The pomme frites are delicious, and they are very generous with the aioli. Of course, there is an impressive wine and cocktail list. Definitely an uptown gem.

After searching relentlessly for a place to spend Galentine's day I was happy to see that Chais Delachaise had open reservations. The girls and I were looking for something cozy and chic. This place did not disappoint. Now let's talk about our server, TJ. TJ approached the table with such grace and ease. He matched our energy so well and even offered to hand make an espresso martini for my gal. That type of offer really says a lot about a place and it started the night off perfectly. Speaking of a good start, how about those deviled eggs. Most places are stingy with the amount of eggs they serve you. We were able to get 6 for 12$! Talk about a deal. The rest of the food was fabulous and wouldn't have been without TJ. Next time you're here make sure you ask for him the king himself!

Great Food, Friendly Service, Good selection of wines + Happy Hour!!! The food is eclectic and combines ingredients in a way that creates tastiness. Fries in Goose fat, Salmon devilled eggs, juicy Sliders.

Nice for outdoor seating, cocktails, and fries. Never had a very long wait but also never been after like 6pm

Always great service. Very knowledgeable servers and bartenders. Tasty small bites and good happy hour.

I can't believe it took me so long to come back (but in my defense I don't get this far uptown often). It was just as romantic as I remembered it. I called Josh, the GM and arranged a reservation for 15 on the back patio about a week ahead of time with no issues. He said it wasn't full service, and we would have to order at the bar but it sure felt like full service. We ordered multiple bottles of wine, almost every appetizer twice and they were quick to bring food out and anything else we asked for. The watermelon bruschetta and the Buffalo fried cauliflower were among my favorites as well as the steak board. We were never rushed and enjoyed ourselves immensely.

Great local restaurant! Awesome staff who make the best espresso martinis!! Will continue to go in the future.

Fun, funky place. Great service and varied menu. Hoping for a change in fish from rainbow trout-- although delicious, there are too many tiny bones to navigate to make it practical

The risotto was like soup with no flavor. Not to mention they used regular rice instead of Arborio rice (risotto rice). The goose fat fries were okay. The waitress brought us the wrong food and didn't apologize, rather she picked up the food and walked away before we could even speak. She even broke a cork in half trying to open a wine bottle.

If you do not mind eating by the trash in a makeshift room that resembles a fraternity house then eat here. We were told the outside and the main dining room were booked, howeve, resy and the reality were quite differen. When I asked our server if we could potentially switch to another room she replied probably not because'being seated here is a last resor. I do not think there should be a last resort seating area at a restaurant. The food and prices were fine and I would have returned it recommended this place had it not been for the unfortunate seating. I felt as though our meal should have been disco at best since we were eating in a shanty with a flatscreen television playing a bizarre jellyfish montage I guess to match the vibe agin of a fraternity house rec room complete with Mexican blankets even though this place is trying to be a French Bistro and it looks like one in the other two seating areas. if you are alr with these accommodations definitely eat here.

One of my favorites. We sit outside when cool enough, and they welcome (and spoil) our dog. Always get the fries. Love the half-price bottles of wine, if you can get there early. Food is always good. Tried the whole menu, I think!

Just wanna say a BIG thanks to Josh! Made a reservation on Monday for thanksgiving dinner! Their systems sent out a reminder text the day before thanksgiving reminding us. Guess who just called at 11 am on thanksgiving saying they aren't open but left their systems on? HAHAHA thanks for that Josh! Great your systems remind people and that you guys are closed but that you could call the morning of! Now my group will be eating McDonald's for thanksgiving since it's too late to buy food and no place has openings! Thanks for ruining the holiday Josh! Appreciate that horrible service! Not even anything offered for ruining our holiday the day off lol pathetic service. So many good places in this city and this is how you treat clients? When there's no options to pívot to? Nice. Happy thanksgiving to you too!

Chais Delachaise, like it's big brother location on St Charles is one of my favorite spots for day drinking. This location is much smaller and has the feel of sitting in someone's house or on their front porch. It's just that comfortable. They call themselves a Wine Bistro but they have a full bar and craft brews too. The lady friend and I stopped in recently for a few drinks and luckily it just happened to be happy hour. Their Happy Hours are 3-6 and I believe that is 7 days per week. We were here on a Saturday so I know it's at least 6. I was able to get an Old Fashioned and she got a glass of wine for 5.00 each. We paired that with their awesome goose fat fries. The fries come with a spicy ketchup(good) and a fru-fruey mayonnaise(queue the barf emoji. Sorry I hate mayo even if you call it aioli). These fries are phenomenal and perfect to munch on with a few cocktails. The front porch is the place to be when the weather is nice out. It's cozy and at night they have string lights that make it the perfect spot to chill.

Absolutely LOVED the food!! The steak was the best steak I've had thus far, the lamb kofta kabobs were so well seasoned and juicy, and the fries as delicious. Then we ordered the vegetable risotto, another amazing hit, and it wasn't too creamy! Lastly we got dessert, the beignets and pot de creme, and OMG idk what's in that pot de creme but I want a whole bucket of it to take home! Will definitely be back!

A perfect New Orleans setting and a glitzy yet simple menu. Delicious. I will be back!

This is one of my favorite places to go. No matter whether you sit inside or outside you get great service. And the food! I've never had a bad meal here. And I've been here a ton. Everything from little snacks to full meals to accompany my glass (or bottle) of wine. It's not a huge place, so on a busy night you might feel claustrophobic, but the ambiance is still somehow relaxing.

Staff was great. Food and front patio ambience were just so so. Disappointing in how long it took for the entrees to arrive and that the chocolate soufflé was sold out. From prior reviews here and elsewhere, expectations were much higher.

Chais Delachaise is really adorable. If you've been to their main location on St. Charles, you'll definitely see the similarities over here at Maple Street. The St. Charles location wins when it comes to outdoor seating, but I think this spot has a nicer indoor space. And they have happy hour! They have a ton of wine and knowledgeable staff, but what really surprised me is that they have incredible cocktails! I wouldn't have thought a wine bar wouldn't invest much in cocktails, but I was pretty blown away by their drinks. The Painkiller and the Daiquiri were both really great. The kitchen also makes some standout dishes. The brussels sprouts are really, really good, and I also really loved the cauliflower "wings"! This surprised me because normally I dislike vegan versions of non-vegan food, but these were just good regardless of what inspired the dish. I'm not quite sure how to describe the cuisine but it seems like a mix of French and some more Asian inspirations. They also have some really good brunch food. I don't think I would come just to eat dinner if I wasn't also going to be taking advantage of the wine list and excellent cocktails. But if you're committing to the overall experience, the food fits in great.

I love this restaurant. Amazing happy hour, small plates, entrees, and drinks. The staff is so kind and even let us pick the songs we wanted to listen to in the outdoor back patio!

Really loved the space and atmosphere here. Came for date night not too long ago and had a really nice time. We went on a weeknight so there weren't many folks dining, but the vibe was still very cozy, but quaint. We dined on the porch and felt very comfortable doing so. The staff was masked and very welcoming. We ordered the coconut curry mussels and the steak board. I love mussels but wasn't sure what to expect from their take on the dish. Let's just say we almost asked for spoons so we could drink the sauce. So stinkin' good. It was served with their super tasty goose fat fries, but that sauce really stole the show. The steak board also did not disappoint. The steak was cooked perfectly and the pesto paired really well. Definitely a spot that I'd like to visit again. I have my eye on those lamb sliders .

I really like the atmosphere of this place. I went here like a Friday during happy hour. It was quaint and not too noisy, a very good vibe. The drinks were good I like the $5 house specials. I had a sparkling rosé that was delicious. The food however was not my favorite. We ordered the French fries which were good because hard to mess up fries. We also ordered the meatballs with couscous to share. The meatballs were so dry and yuck but the couscous was good. Overall a good place to go to grab a drink don't recommend if your looking to get full and enjoy a meal.

This place is super convenient to get to from Tulane. They have WONDERFUL happy hour specials, free WiFi and the staff is really nice. Their $3 wines during happy hour are fancy and flavorful. You have reds, whites and roses (both still and sparkling) to choose from. There's indoor and outdoor seating. One time, my friend and I split one of the sparkling rose bottles and it was only $15! They kept it in ice for us and everything. My only comment is that the cheese plates compared to the ones at the flagship location on St Charles are really small.

I had a yummy cocktail, perfect steak frites, and pot de creme for dessert. Great place to hang out, relaxed, great service.

What a great experience-from the well-executed food and laid back ambiance to the amazing service and good value-quality ratio - we loved every second of our evening at Chais Delachaise. This is one of those "under the radar" great neighborhood eateries that locals know to go back to time and time again rather than the big name celebrity chef places that don't deliver like this place did. The friendly service that Sarah provided went above and beyond - even to the point of letting us help pick the playlist (more Beck and Cake please!). While Sarah could have made the night great just with her infectious personality, the food totally delivered. We started with the mussels in a delicious spicy red sauce - I literally could drink it from a straw but get the side of pasta to sop it up after you devour the homemade bread. Then on to the Lebanese lamb kofta meatballs - perfectly seared and full of flavor which was perfectly complimented by the acidity of the lovely bed of greens. We finished with homemade tagliatelle pasta with wild mushrooms, sautéed kale and ground pork in a heavenly cream sauce. Portions were large and filling. We didn't have room for dessert but had fun hanging out with Sarah while they closed up shop (at 9pm). Tell your friends but only the cool ones - this gem should be appreciated by foodies only.

I dined there recently with a friend. We ordered the fries as an appetizer and they were great. We ordered a steak and a whole fish and it was okay. Service was good. The place was hip, but the food was average at best.

My husband and I chose to eat at Chais Delachaise tonight (Christmas Eve) after our family plans were canceled due to flights being delayed. I'm so happy we popped in here; the food was excellent - we had a cheese board, their pasta special, and my husband had steak. Our waitress, Sarah P, was great. We eat out quite a bit and she really stood out to the both of us. Thank you all for a wonderful evening!

Delicious neighborhood bistro with an excellent cocktail and wine menu, great service and unique dinner menu. Great place to host friends, enjoy dinner with your partner or even for larger dinner parties. Highly recommend the Lamb Kofta.

After a great trip to Chais Delachaise with a big group for happy hour, I decided that my original review needed an update! Happy hour is weekdays from 3-6 and includes drink and food specials. We were all drinking $5 house wine or $3 beers, definitely not bad prices! My other friend ordered a frose (happy hour for $6) but said it was way too tart. We ordered several (5+) orders of fries at $5 an order and they were much better than last time! They were crunchy and not overly salty (which was an issue in the past). I stand by my statement that I don't love the sauces the fries come with, but that may just be a matter of opinion. Since I was hungry and wanted to try something different, I decided to order the happy hour moules frites ($9). Oh my gosh they were amazing!!! The coconut milk sauce the mussels came in was perfection and I decided to dip my fries in the coconut milk instead of the sauces the fries came with. This dish was a serious win! My other friend ordered the mushroom toast, which I thought was tasty as well! While the happy hour is supposed to be at the bar only, the man working gave us table service anyway (probably because we were a large group). He was friendly and dealt with us being a little difficult and wanting to put lots of tables together. He also kept the drinks flowing, which we obviously appreciated! The atmosphere of Chais Delachaise is my favorite part! There is a big interior that is light and comfortable and there are also several outdoor tables. The layout of the restaurant makes it easy to come with a bigger group, something that is close to impossible at the original Delachaise. I will definitely return for future happy hours! Food -- 4 stars Drinks -- 4 stars Price -- 4 stars Service -- 4.5 stars Atmosphere -- 5 stars

We were seated, sat for 30+ minutes and literally just watched the waiters keep walking past us and ignoring us. The place wasn't that busy either. Finally got up and went to another place, seated immediately and order placed in less than 5 minutes. Too many restaurants in NOLA to go somewhere with bad service, wont be back.
