MaMou

MaMou is a modern European brasserie in the Lower French Quarter, opened in November 2022 by Executive Chef Tom Branighan and Sommelier Molly Wismeier. The menu draws on French technique and Creole influences from Tom's childhood in Southern Louisiana, with dishes such as redfish pasta e piselli, Cornish hen piccata and a red bean cassoulet. The wine list is extensive and includes sparkling, white, rosé, red and dessert wines, alongside a set of classic and house cocktails.

Reservations are required to be booked with a credit card, since seating is limited, and cancellations within 24 hours are charged $45 per diner. Parties of six or more get an automatic 22% gratuity, and bottles can be brought in with a $50 corkage fee, up to two per table. Dinner is served Wednesday through Sunday evenings, and gift cards are sold on the website and in the restaurant.
