“Turtle Bolognese? Blue Crab Beignets?” someone once asked incredulously. Right here, at this unassuming spot on Magazine Street, La Petite Grocery has become synonymous with these innovative New Orleans culinary creations. The charming building we see before us, La Petite Grocery, has witnessed over a century of history. It has transitioned from a humble coffee and tea depot to a grocery store, a butcher shop, and even a florist’s studio. But in 2004, it embraced a new destiny as a beloved restaurant. Following the devastation of Hurricane Katrina, Chef Justin Devillier and his wife Mia poured their hearts into rebuilding La Petite Grocery. In 2010, they became the proud owners of this cherished establishment. Chef Devillier, a James Beard Award winner, infuses his dishes with a creative twist on classic New Orleans cuisine. La Petite Grocery isn’t just about the food. It’s a testament to the resilience of New Orleans. It’s a place where history whispers through the walls and culinary innovation takes center stage. So, the next time you hear those intriguing dishes mentioned, remember the legacy of La Petite Grocery, a true gem on Magazine Street.
