About Restaurant Rebirth
The Spotlight on Restaurant Rebirth

Bold Cajun Flavors Just Steps from the Music

Restaurant Rebirth is a cozy, upscale Creole/Cajun spot tucked into the Warehouse District of New Orleans, just a short walk from many top concert venues. With its exposed brick walls, atmospheric lighting, and locally inspired décor, this restaurant blends Southern charm with a modern, intimate vibe. The menu showcases bold Louisiana flavors—think blackened Gulf fish, shrimp and grits, and house-made andouille sausage—executed with finesse by Chef Ricky Cheramie, a veteran of the New Orleans culinary scene.

Why Concert-goers love it

Its close proximity to the city's major music halls makes Restaurant Rebirth a prime spot for a delicious pre-show meal. Service is known to be prompt and attentive, which is perfect when you’re watching the clock before a performance. The noise level is lively but not overwhelming, making it great for getting into the concert spirit without yelling over your gumbo.

Who this Restaurant is great for

  • Groups of friends who want to kick off the night with shared plates and Southern cocktails
  • Solo travelers looking for a memorable local meal before the show
  • Couples turning a concert night into a romantic weekend
  • Fans seeking a fun, flavorful place to fuel up before the music starts
  • Budget-conscious music lovers—while not the cheapest, the quality makes it feel worth the spend

What People Say

Reviewers consistently praise the rich, authentic Creole dishes and the warm, knowledgeable staff. Many note that it’s a “hidden gem” for visitors and locals alike. The shrimp and grits and duck breast are frequent standouts, and the intimate atmosphere gets high marks for pre-show dining. Several guests mention how easy it is to walk to a venue right after finishing their meal.

Areas for Improvement

The space is on the smaller side, so reservations are highly recommended—especially on show nights. Some guests mention that the menu, though expertly crafted, is a bit limited for picky eaters or those with dietary restrictions.

The Bottom Line

Restaurant Rebirth serves up expertly prepared Cajun classics in a stylish setting that’s perfect for concert-goers looking to savor New Orleans flavor before the main event.
