Ralph's on the Park

The gracious, cream-colored clapboard structure housing Ralph’s on the Park was built in 1860 as a coffeehouse and concession stand at the entrance to mid-city’s grand old City Park. Over the past century-and-a-half, it has been occupied by some of New Orleans’ most distinguished restaurateurs, and the legacy lives on in Ralph Brennan’s elegant eatery, with its serene, light-filled interior and menu of locally influenced global cuisine.

Executive Chef Knut Mjelde, an ardent supporter of the area’s farmers and fishermen, puts his own sophisticated spin on New Orleans classics and comfort foods, as well as creating delectably exotic dishes with the freshest local ingredients available. Elements like wild Mushrooms and Butternut Squash are right at home on his menu alongside the down-home Crawfish Tails, Seared Scallops, and iconic Turtle Soup finished with Sherry. Dishes like the Brown Butter Glazed Fish with Baby Green Beans, Roasted Fingerling Potatoes, and Almond Butter are refined, reinvented versions of the familiar. The Praline Bread Pudding is topped with Brown Butter Caramel and Candied Pecans; and the Key Lime Ice Box Pie is made with a crispy Graham Cracker Crust and local Citrus.

Ralph’s on the Park is a lovely location for lunch, cocktails, dinner, and Sunday brunch, and offers several special dining. Its two stories, charming balcony, and double kitchens make it a most versatile venue for private events. No wonder Ralph’s on the Park has been hailed by the critics – from the most discriminating local press to Bon Appétit for its fine cuisine, noble cellar, and exquisite service.
