Opened in November 2022, MaMou is a lively, modern French brasserie from Executive Chef Tom Branighan and Sommelier Molly Wismeier. Set on the French Quarter corner of Rampart Street and St. Philip Street, the European continental cuisine draws on creole influences of Tom’s childhood in Southern Louisiana as well as exhibits his appreciation for French technique. Tom and Molly’s shared passion for hospitality and simple, elegant flavors rooted in classic technique are what connected them and drove them to open MaMou. The historic location, elevated yet approachable menu, and focus on hospitality highlight the charm of the French Quarter and make MaMou a neighborhood gem.
“We walked in randomly hoping they had space for us and they did! Shout out to Roy, who was very kind and accommodating about us not having reservations. Food was amazing and the cocktails were almost better. I got The Goat which is made with a watermelon, tomato, goat cheese washed vodka martini. I could drink 10 of those. I wish we hadn't been in a rush to go catch up with friends but I will definitely be returning.”
“This restaurant is unassuming from the exterior, but walk in and you’re transported to the most beautiful and quaint French inspired dining experience! EVERYTHING we order was superb! The complexity, the textures, and the layering of flavors are not to be missed! I would come back to NOLA solely to dine at this restaurant alone! It is worth the trip and worth way more than the price! Also, Brian is top tier, he elevated our whole evening!”
“Lovely place, small restaurant at the edge of the French Quarter. Food was overall good, starters Salmon Mi-Cuit, Beef Tartar were great, as was the salad, we had the côte de bœuf (ribeye) which was very good, served with mashed potatoes which people around me loved - I would probably prefer something like Pommes Anna or Dauphinoise but that’s just me . I was not impressed by the ‘bread service’ , pretzel buns used to be a novelty, but not anymore, you can get them local bakeries, and this one was not better than others. Also a straight forward baguette would have gone better with the sauces if the salmon and beef - which literally begged to be wiped with a bit of bread”
“Small restaurant on Rampart Street on edge of the French Quarter. French not Cajun, despite the name, which apparently refers to the chef’s grandma, not the southeast Louisiana town. Small but delicious menu-quality over quantity! We had the braised celery hearts (good), salade maison (excellent), bread service (excellent), poisson a la florentine (excellent), and risotto (excellent). Tasty champagne and wines by the glass. Dessert was good, too. Efficient, attentive, professional servers. Definitely recommend and plan to return!”
“During my recent visit to New Orleans, I was eager to explore the city's culinary scene and indulge in the highest-rated restaurants throughout my stay. After sifting through MaMou countless reviews and admiring the stunning photographs of beautifully plated dishes, I decided to embark on this delicious journey. I'm thrilled to say that my experience exceeded all expectations! The atmosphere was amazing, the food was great, service etc… Overall experience was fantastic!”
