what is dining with ghosts?

Dining with Ghosts is an intimate supper club experience hosted in a beautifully designed, private space in the heart of New Orleans’ French Quarter. Each month, we craft a special menu for our open-group dinners, welcoming up to 8 guests to enjoy high-quality, seasonal dishes and a warm, inviting atmosphere that fosters connection and conversation.

For open events, the meal is served family-style at a long communal table, where guests can share, interact, and make new friends. Groups of 8 can also book a private event with one of our other unique menus tailored to their occasion.

Our food is crafted by former Private Chef Martin Reiser, with each dish thoughtfully prepared to highlight the best ingredients. The space itself, designed and refurbished by Katie Hurley, exudes charm and character. Weather permitting, dinners may be hosted on our patio, offering a beautiful view over New Orleans.

We strive to create a unique dining experience in a beautiful studio once owned by Edgar Degas, hidden away in one of the French Quarters’ most charming alleyways. For us, sharing this remarkable space is a way to bring people together in a setting rich with art, history, and character.

We believe in the magic of good food and good company, creating an evening that feels warm and welcoming. Each dish is crafted with care, using high-quality, seasonal ingredients that celebrate the vibrant flavors of New Orleans, enhanced with global inspiration. Guests dine by candlelight in this enchanting 1850s setting, surrounded by art, history, and perhaps even a few friendly ghosts that add to the atmosphere.

This is more than just a meal; it’s a gathering for those who appreciate authentic, flavorful food served in an intimate and unforgettable setting. Reserve your seat and step into a night where history and flavor come together for a truly memorable culinary adventure.
