Pelican Club

Pelican Club is a contemporary New Orleans restaurant in a renovated 19th century Creole townhouse on Exchange Place in the French Quarter. Chef and owner Richard Hughes has run the kitchen since it opened in 1990, serving a seafood-focused menu rooted in south Louisiana tradition with French, Italian and Asian influences.

Reservations can be made online or by phone, and walk-ins are welcome depending on availability. The bar and bar tables are typically not reserved and also serve the full menu. Guests can get partial parking validation at the Hotel Monteleone garage, where valet parking is offered. The dress code is business casual to nice casual, so hats, flip-flops, athletic wear and cut-offs are not permitted.
