About Us

“One of America’s Best Museum Restaurants” by Travel +Leisure

Café NOMA by Ralph Brennan has undergone a thoughtful evolution that links its offerings to the museum’s art collections and the city’s culinary traditions. Led by culinary curator, Executive Chef Chris Montero, the menu is seasonal, artisanal, and local as ever, with Big Salads, savory Flatbreads, colorful Market Bowls, Paninis, Sandwiches and specialty Fries focused on the flavors of New Orleans’ extensive culture. Premium hot beverages, beers and wines, and cocktails, like the Café NOMA Lemonade, offer refreshing sustenance to suit every mood and time of day.

ABOUT US

Blurring the lines between refreshment retreat and gallery space, Café NOMA features a dramatic installation of colorful and distinctly shaped vessels for food and drink from the museum's decorative arts collection which showcases the rich variety of design and artistry of global food and beverage traditions over time – and the ongoing importance of such traditions in the city of New Orleans.

Cafe admission is free every day via the front desk at NOMA – just request a sticker. Street Parking is available around the New Orleans Museum of Art
