Olivier's Creole Restaurant

Olivier’s dishes represent five generations of Creole tradition, beginning with the woman known in the family as Gramma Gaudet, Chef Armand’s great great grandmother. Her recipes were passed on to her daughter-in-law, Mama Jeanne (Gaudet) Doublet (shown). Mama Jeanne’s daughter-in-law, Audrey (La France) Gaudet, carried on the tradition, and passed it on to her daughter, Cheryl (Gaudet) Olivier, chef Armand’s mother.

The Olivier family prides itself primarily on two things: 1) authentic Creole recipes handed down through the generations they trace back in New Orleans history, and 2) innovative recipes and ideas in the tradition of Creole culture. It is this combination of tradition and innovation which sets Olivier’s Restaurant apart from imitators.

The “new” restaurant at 204 Decatur also includes fixtures and decorations reflecting the elegance of fine dining while maintaining the comfort of a casual atmosphere. On the second floor above the main dining room is a large private room equipped with its own bar and rest rooms. This room has 14-foot windows overlooking Decatur Street in the heart of the French Quarter.

The combination of great food and a relaxing, enjoyable atmosphere is the goal here at Olivier’s Creole Restaurant. The servers are courteous and helpful, the food is delicious, and don’t forget: Olivier’s is where Creole tradition meets “The Art of Dining & The Science of Cooking.”
