La Petite Grocery
About the Business
La Petite Grocery is a renowned restaurant located at 4238 Magazine Street in New Orleans, Louisiana. Housed in a century-old building with a rich history, the establishment has been a beloved part of the community for years. Originally serving as a coffee and tea depot, grocery store, butcher shop, and florist's studio, La Petite Grocery transformed into a restaurant in 2004.
After Hurricane Katrina, Chef Justin Devillier and his wife Mia took over ownership and revitalized the Uptown restaurant, infusing it with their creative take on traditional New Orleans cuisine. Signature dishes like Turtle Bolognese and Blue Crab Beignets have earned the restaurant local and national acclaim. In 2016, Chef Devillier was honored with a James Beard Award for Best Chef: South.
The restaurant's cozy atmosphere and delicious food have made it a favorite among locals and visitors alike. In 2019, the couple opened a sister restaurant, Justine, in the French Quarter, further expanding their culinary offerings. La Petite Grocery is not just a restaurant, but a family business where Chef Devillier's passion for food and dedication to his craft shine through in every dish.

Reviews
"One of the best meals we had in New Orleans. We had heard a lot about Petite Grocery so were pretty hyped for our meal, and it didn't disappoint. We wanted to try everything, but settled with cocktails, the blue crab beignets, gulf shrimp & grits and the fish special that day. Everything was fantastic, but we both could not stop eating those grits! Wow. It was rich, creamy and comforting but it had texture & tasted like fresh corn, so didn't feel heavy at all. The crab beignets were also memorable. Again, for a pretty rich dish, it didn't feel heavy. It was filled with crab and the aioli had a good amount of acidity to balance it. Our least favourite dish was the pecan tart was had for dessert, which was just ok. The service was great. I'm a slow eater and even though it was a weekend, wasn't made to feel rushed. I would 100% go again."
"Came here for a nice dinner around the time of Mardi Gras and it was phenomenal! Every course was lovely and perfectly cooked. Definitely recommend the grits and the chicken. Do not usually go for dessert but everything else is so good that we had to! Staff was awesome. We were seated right away and they were very attentive. Would love to come back."
"We had a very pleasant late lunch at Le Petite Grocery. We did not have reservations but we were able to get a table by the window with lots of light and plenty of people-watching opportunity. Our hostess was great and shared with us her favorites. She also checked on us during our meal. All the food we had was on point. We had all the classics: gumbo, fried oyster salad, fried green tomatoes, shrimp and grits. The highlight was the blue crab beignets- we have not seen it elsewhere on menus in NO and it was very unique and good. Overall, highly recommended."
"Great restaurant in the bustling area of the Garden District. They have great blue crab beignets and delicious cocktails. I was able to just walk in a grab a seat at the bar but I'd recommend making a reservation for a table since this place can fill up quick."
"Dinner was delightful at LPG. We shared a few dishes between us and everything was delicious. Portions were a little on the smaller side. I loved the crab beignets! And the ricotta dumplings! The tuna tartare, beets, and fish was also amazing. Couldn't fault the food. The staff were attentive and helpful. For dessert we got three - and loved the pecan tart and the butterscotch!"
