About Jack Rose 
The culinary crown of the Pontchartrain Hotel by QED Hospitality, Jack Rose brings an eclectic and exciting dining experience to New Orleans’ Garden District. Named one of the "Best Restaurants in New Orleans" by New Orleans Magazine in 2018, and also awarded Wine Spectator’s Restaurant Awards: "Award of Excellence" in 2019, the lively atmosphere at Jack Rose encourages spontaneous celebration whether enjoying brunch “Chambongs” or dinner in the Jack or Rose rooms, hosting an escapade in the Mile High Pie Club, snacking on small plates under the Lil Wayne Portrait in the Living Room or sipping sparkling rosé in the rose garden patio. In keeping with the building’s homage to the Pontchartrain’s connection with Tennessee Williams, the name is inspired by his play The Rose Tattoo. Chef/Owner Brian Landry’s menu showcases a mix of New Orleans’ craveable Italian, French and Spanish dishes, with a unique spin. The cuisine is simultaneously unpretentious and skillfully executed.

Notable dishes include the royal red shrimp muddy waters with squid ink campanelle; pompano en papillote – saffron, bok choy, sunchokes; and fried chicken parmesan – red gravy, parmigiano Reggiano. And of course, the famed mile high pie is not-to-be-missed. Jack Rose is located at the Pontchartrain Hotel, 2031 St Charles Avenue in New Orleans’ Garden District.
