  One of the best meals we’ve had. Ever. The service and atmosphere were exceptional. They were busy but the place was still intimate and my partner and I were able enjoy our meal and our conversation. We sat at the bar, which was busy, but we never waited to service or attention. Above and beyond service and professionalism. Our entire meal took an hour, which is quick for us, but we never felt rushed. Now for the food and drinks. Just wow. The rabbit and dumplings and the collard greens were stand out dishes. Of course we sampled one of daily special appetizers and the crackling from the boucherie and highly recommend them. The restaurant bar also has a huge selection of bourbons and cognacs and cocktails. We finished our night with the lemon buttermilk icebox pie, which was better than my memaws. Can not wait to come here again.

  Im not sure what has happened to Cochon but the quality of food has dropped significantly. This use to be a must stop whenever im in New Orleans but this last time I felt like my over $120.00 meal for two was a waste of money sadly. Its too bad 👎 for I definitely loved this place. My wife and I found our appetizer to be hard and over cooked. The stew had raw onion that was not cooked through and was lacking for at that price should be much better. Its too bad because the presentation of the food is dam good but the taste just wasn't up to what use to be high standards.

  Great place to celebrate meat! We came here for a birthday and the restaurant was excellent! Here is why! FOOD: Cochon is a great place to celebrate pork and proper Louisiana food. We started out with the sausage with beans and sun dried tomatoes, where the flavours of tart tomato clashed beautifully with the softness of the beef and the pure flavour of the sausage. We also continued with alligator bites with spicy mayo and those were tender and well balanced. For our min, we shared the Cochon, which is pulled pork formed into a patty on a plate of bacon cabbage. The dish was well done overall, but what truly stood out was the quality of the meat and the almost smokey taste of the pulled pork. The cucumber salad helped cut through the heaviness of the pork, creating a great balance. For dessert, we tried the pineapple upside down and a pretzel ice cream. I will be dreaming about this ice cream for a while! SERVICE: Kayla and Nick were exceptional and helped us have an awesome experience. They were extremely knowledgeable about the food, welcoming, and kept our table organized throughout the evening. ATMO: We were impressed with the space. However, the interior felt slightly outdated. Part of it is being an architectural design family. It is a nice restaurant, but there is definitely more opportunity here for the interior!

  After a disappointing experience at another restaurant earlier in the evening, we decided to give Cochon a try for a second dinner in hopes of turning the night around. And wow, did they deliver! Our server, Jesse, was fantastic. He was incredibly personable, knowledgeable about the menu, and made us feel genuinely welcome. His recommendations and overall approach to service were exactly what we needed after our earlier experience. He really helped turn the evening around! The food was absolutely fantastic, the cocktails were well-executed, and the wine list offered a great variety of options. Everything came together for an excellent dining experience. A huge thank you to Jesse and the Cochon team for saving our evening. We came in hoping for a better experience and left thoroughly impressed. We'll absolutely be back!

  I can not say enough about eating here. From the host, the servers, the food, drinks, and culinary masterminds this place is a 12 out of 10! If your in New Orleanes and you dont dine at Cochon you have missed the most incredible dining experience NOLA has to offer. As a chef I was inspired, delighted, and staight up blown away. Please support this magic kingdom of food mastery. Your mouth and stomach will thank you. From the oysters, fried livers and gator to the red fish, cochon, and short rib every bite was a symphony of flavor! And dont miss the peanuts with the sweet potato habanero hot sauce (from Butcher) the flavor combo is stupid good. I would return to New Orleans just to eat at this restaurant!
