We chose this spot because of its central location in a very tourist-heavy area and the solid reviews. Despite the crowds nearby, there wasn’t a long wait, which was a pleasant surprise. Seating is a bit tight, so it’s best suited for groups of three to four. There is counter seating as well, though depending on the time of day, there may be a wait. We happened to get lucky and were seated right away.
The bathroom setup is less ideal—located down a dim corridor past dishwashing stations and storage, and the restroom itself is very small. Given the layout, it would be difficult for anyone in a wheelchair to access it comfortably.
As for the food, the shrimp po’boy was fantastic, though it was surprising that they didn’t offer cocktail or tartar sauce. The remoulade worked well enough. They do offer a kids’ menu, and the crawfish étouffée was delicious with a buttery flavor and perfectly soft rice. The breakfast sandwich was good but served on a hoagie bun with a bit too much bread, making it heavy and harder to finish.
The staff was friendly and attentive. Even when our main server wasn’t available, another stepped in right away to help. Prices are very reasonable, and while the restaurant is on the louder side, it makes up for it with great views—right across from Café Du Monde and within steps of local artists’ booths offering artwork and caricatures. That added a fun touch to the visit.
Overall, we enjoyed our experience and would definitely return.

Took a day trip to New Orleans while visiting some family in Florida and they recommended Monty’s. The food was really delicious and full of flavor. We also tried some beignets and took some to go lol. I would definitely try this place again and highly recommend. Follow more reviews @IG: Robthefoodguy @eat_n_critique

I had a fantastic experience at Monty’s on the Square! I tried the Fried Chicken Eggs Benedict on the recommendation of the staff, and it did not disappoint — perfectly crispy chicken with rich, flavorful gravy. Our server was incredibly friendly, and the service was quick without ever feeling rushed. The coffee was solid, which made the meal even better.
The location is perfect, right in the heart of the French Quarter, making it easy to explore the area before or after your meal. I would definitely come back next time I’m in New Orleans — highly recommend!

Absolutely loved Monty’s on the Square!
I ordered the shrimp and grits, beignets, and the king cake and everything was incredible! The shrimp and grits were perfectly seasoned, creamy, and full of Cajun flavor, while the beignets were light, fluffy, and filled with cinnamon sugar, covered in the perfect amount of powdered sugar (just like you’d hope for in New Orleans!). The king cake was a sweet treat that topped off the meal beautifully.
The service was amazing, attentive, friendly, and made me feel so welcomed from start to finish. You can tell the staff really take pride in making sure every guest has a great experience.
If you’re looking for yummy food, great service, and true southern charm, Monty’s on the Square is a must-try. I’ll definitely be back!

I got the eggs Benedict and chose cheese grits for the side. The cheese grits were a bit chalky even though I was told it was cheddar. The English muffin was thin and delicious. The ham was tasty. The hollandaise sauce missed the mark. I asked for some lemon and sort of doctored it up. We also go the burger. It was average. It appeared to be hand made in house because the patty was oval shape, the fries that come with it were very good.

Our meal at Monty’s was INCREDIBLE. I cannot recommend the crawfish etouffe or the shrimp po boy enough. But the highlight of our visit? Our server Tuti! She was the sweetest, most personable yet also professional. She was a ray of sunshine in our visit and we can’t wait to come back again. Monty’s and Tuti were five Star, top tier!

Monty’s on the Square: Where Sunday Brunch Is a Sacred Ritual (and Amaury Is the High Priest of Hospitality)
If you’re wandering the French Quarter on a Sunday morning, wondering whether divine intervention might come in the form of crispy chicken and creamy grits, Monty’s on the Square is your answer. This isn’t just brunch. It’s a sermon served with gravy, and we were front-row congregants.
We came in hungry, hopeful, and slightly rain-soaked, ready to worship at the altar of Southern comfort food. The Country Style Breakfast arrived like a gospel choir in full harmony: chicken fried to a golden hallelujah, gravy smoother than a saxophone solo at Preservation Hall, and grits so creamy they could moonlight as a love song. That touch of crème cheese? Not so secret, but absolutely sacred.
My wife’s Jambalaya Omelette was a revelation. Fluffy, flavorful, and filled with just enough Cajun swagger to make you rethink your life choices. The kind of omelette that doesn’t just sit on your plate, it struts.
But let’s talk about Amaury. Our server, our guide, our brunch whisperer. Amaury didn’t just take care of us, he elevated the entire experience. Attentive without hovering, warm without pretense, and somehow always appearing right when you needed him, like a brunch guardian angel with a coffee pot. If Monty’s ever builds a Hall of Fame, Amaury deserves his own stained-glass window.
Now, if I may offer one humble suggestion to the powers that be: lose the TV sets. I say this with love. The food sings, the service shines, and the vibe is almost perfect, but those screens feel like a commercial break in an otherwise cinematic experience. Let the jazz, the clinking of forks, and the hum of happy diners be the soundtrack. No one comes to Monty’s to watch cable news, we come to taste joy.
Monty’s on the Square isn’t just a restaurant. It’s a reminder that Sunday brunch can be holy, that grits can be transcendent, and that sometimes, the best way to start your day is with a plate full of soul and a server named Amaury who treats you like royalty.
Would I return? Like a pilgrim to Mecca. Would I recommend it? Only to people I love, and maybe a few I’m trying to impress.
