Cochon Restaurant - Cajun restaurant in New Orleans - 930 Tchoupitoulas St Ste A, USA

The rare time I review a place after one visit because I'm not sure when I'll be back in town. Service at the bar was good and the food was fantastic. If you like oysters, definitely get the " Wood Fired oysters with chili garlic butter". I never order oysters but did on recommendation and they were fantastic. Next I tried the rabbit & dumplings. It was amazing - if I make it back ill have a hard time not getting it again. For drinks I tried the "nutty by nature", which was excellent, and an old fashioned.

A super casual atmosphere does not mean they don’t take their food and drink seriously. Staff is very detailed in their descriptions of booze and food. The respect for whole animal butchery is perfection. Everything we ate was super tasty and cocktails were out of bounds. A true must eat here

Absolutely delicious! We ordered several different things from the menu and everything was incredible! From the second you enter the restaurant you’re met with friendly faces and enticing smells. Highly recommend going if you live in or are visiting New Orleans.

INCREDIBLE southern food! The rabbit and dumplings are classic comfort food with a twist. The namesake cochon is out of this world! Cocktails were great as well. My only knock was we waited quite a bit for our table even though we were very much on time for our reservation. The service at the table well made up for it.

Read lots of great things about this place prior to coming to New Orleans, and really wanted to come eat here. Was excited that it was only a couple blocks from my hotel, and decided to just try my luck without a reservation. Ended up sitting at the bar with a couple of friends, which turned out to be an amazing experience. The service was exceptional, and the food was fantastic. I had the Fried Alligator, the Wood Fired Oysters, and the Peach Crisp; and would highly recommend all of it. I also really enjoyed the Golden Stout that I got to drink. If you're in New Orleans, this restaurant should definitely be on your list of must eat at places.

First meal in New Orleans and we could not have asked for a better experience. From the moment we walked in, we were totally impressed with the ambiance and size of Cochon. There's two main dining areas with additional space upstairs and outside on the patio. With such a large space, Cochon remains well staffed and multiple servers were always checking on us to make sure we were well attended. The food was absolutely top notch, with a perfect balance for every dish. We started with the fried gator bites - perfectly fried and seasoned with a bright citric sauce to compliment it. This and the complimentary bread (so fluffy) really got my appetite going. For mains, we had the redfish and the pork neck (with trumpet mushrooms). The pork neck was extremely tender and cooked flawlessly, with a lovely sauce on top to provide acidity. All in all the meal was amazing and unforgettable, with great service to compliment it. I'd absolutely recommend a visit for a date, occasion, or night out.

We stopped in to Cochon Restaurant for lunch and though the restaurant was full they were kind enough to seat us at the kitchen view. This turned out to be a blessing as we were able to see a lot of the great dishes being prepared. We found that the food was very good with a large and varied menu. Even though the place is large and busy it did not take long to be served.

Had an absolutely incredible meal here a year ago. Cracklins, beautiful soft dinner rolls, Shrimp and devilled egg Gumbo, Crawfish Pie all incredible. Loved the broiled Oysters in a really clever tray, made it easy to get all the delicious juices. Can't wait to return soon
