The Spotlight on Justine

Parisian Flair in the Heart of the French Quarter

Justine is a vibrant and stylish French brasserie tucked into the historic streets of New Orleans’ French Quarter. The atmosphere hits the sweet spot between elegant and eclectic, with vintage French posters, moody lighting, and an energy that feels both timeless and modern. Located just a short walk from several major music venues, it offers a convenient and memorable dining experience for those headed to a show.

Why Concert-goers love it

Justine is just minutes away from top live music spots, making it ideal for a pre-show dinner or post-concert wind-down. The kitchen runs efficiently, and service is known to be friendly and fast—perfect for concert-goers on a schedule. The ambiance is lively but not too loud, so you can still chat over cocktails before the music starts. There's also a solid selection of wines, bubbles, and French-inspired cocktails to kick off your night in style.

Who this Restaurant is great for

  • Groups of friends looking to fuel up before a night out
  • Solo travelers craving a chic but comfortable space
  • Couples on a romantic music weekend
  • Fans wanting a fun, energetic spot to gather pre-show
  • Budget-conscious music lovers seeking happy hour deals and shareable plates
