For 34 years, Palace Café was proud to call Canal Street home — serving our city’s food, music, and joy to guests from around the world. None of it would have been possible without our incredible team, whose heart and hospitality made Palace Café so special.

Due to a recent court ruling tied to our lease, we must close our doors at 605 Canal for now. We are appealing the decision and remain hopeful for the future. Palace Café may yet return.

Until then, we invite you to visit us at our sister restaurants across New Orleans. Thank you, New Orleans, for 34 unforgettable years.

With gratitude,
Lauren, Dickie & Steve
