Justin & Mia Devillier, owners and operators of La Petite Grocery & Balise Tavern, introduce their 3rd restaurant, Justine. Combining the sophistication of Parisian brasseries with the playfulness of the South’s most lively district, New Orleans’ French Quarter. True to the heart of French brasserie culture, the bustling, multi-roomed restaurant offers a versatile space to be enjoyed by all, whether it’s for a weekday lunch, afternoon glass of wine, or celebratory dinner. The kitchen is led by Chef & Owner Justin Devillier. The menu showcases classic French technique: Soupe à l'Oignon Gratinée blistered & bubbly, with gruyere & ementhaller; Raclette melts a blanket of cheese over potatoes, Parisian ham & cornichons. Justine's many beef offerings pay homage to the French boucherie.

The aesthetic on the walk-in was nice, and different for NOLA. The food was great, no complaints. Our waitress was amazing from start to finish, and went above & beyond for us. We’ll be back!

I get the burger and French onion soup every time and it was probably the best I’ve had. Something I don’t understand is that they would never substitute the fries for the salad, yet did that last time and this time. Last time, I thought it was the best salad I’ve ever had and this time it was good, but not great. Justine is still one of my favorite restaurants!

Lovely place. The food was great would recommend the scallops absolutely delicious. Service was unobtrusive and knowledgeable. Round the corner to Royal Street so ideal for us. Very mixed clientele- but would certainly say smart/casual atmosphere

Yikes. Charged us $5/2 slices for extra toast when we asked for more because we didn’t have enough to finish our appetizers. Waitress couldn’t remember our drinks and took 20 minutes between visits to the table. She was unpleasant. Steaks were ordered medium rare and came completely rare. Very overrated. Won’t come again.

Justine is the sister restaurant to La Petite Grocery. The food was particularly good, the service was excellent, and it's easily navigable in a less trafficked part of the French Quarter. I wouldn't necessarily pick this over La Petite Grocery, my favorite restaurant in New Orleans, but if it is not convenient or you are looking for a livelier experience, this is a fine choice. It was an experience worth repeating.

First went to Justine’s as it was close to hotel and it was still hot. Even without a booking we were made so welcome .Sat at the bar met the sommelier and the manager who between then helped us select both food and wine . Mussel’s fantastic and on recommendation had the Shrimp and grits and for an Aussie grits! Amazing and washed down with a bottle of Rosè from Province. All together a fantastic night. So good we booked for 3 nights later .
