The Court of Two Sisters

The Court of Two Sisters is a historic Creole restaurant in the French Quarter, known for its daily live jazz brunch buffet in a leafy courtyard. The brunch spread includes made-to-order omelets, gumbo, shrimp étouffée, jambalaya, red beans and rice, and desserts such as bananas foster and bread pudding with whiskey sauce. At dinner the menu moves to an à la carte Creole selection built on local seafood, with dishes like shrimp and grits and blackened Gulf fish.

Reservations are recommended for brunch and dinner, and the restaurant also takes gift card purchases and hosts private events and weddings. The building at 613 Royal Street has been a landmark since the 1800s, and the courtyard is one of the largest in the French Quarter. Brunch runs daily, with dinner served each evening, and the Fein family runs the restaurant. A newer casual po'boy spot, Two Sisters on Bourbon, operates on Bourbon Street.
