Award-winning recipes, French Quarter history, and legendary New Orleans hospitality from the world-famous Brennan’s Restaurant.

Breakfast at Brennan’s and Dinner, Too is a beautifully illustrated, oversize hardcover cookbook celebrating the culinary traditions of Brennan’s Restaurant, renowned for its lavish breakfasts, classic Creole cuisine, and festive New Orleans atmosphere.

Written by Pip Brennan, Jimmy Brennan, and Ted Brennan, this 1994 Second Edition features more than 230 home-tested recipes, including Brennan’s signature Eggs Sardou, turtle soup, and Bananas Foster, alongside Creole entrées, French-inspired specialties, and festive cocktails.

Organized into seven recipe sections, the book features full-color food photography, restaurant interiors, and scenes of the French Quarter. A fascinating historical section includes vintage memorabilia, newspaper clippings, and illustrations documenting the Brennan family's culinary legacy.

Historical Note

Founded by Owen Edward Brennan in 1946, Brennan's became one of New Orleans' most celebrated dining institutions. Following his death in 1955, the family continued his legacy, opening Brennan's on Royal Street in 1956. The restaurant became internationally known for its elaborate breakfasts, elegant Creole dining, and theatrical tableside service, including its legendary Bananas Foster.

Excellent vintage condition. Clean, bright hardcover boards; tight binding; and crisp pages. No writing noted. A beautifully preserved copy of this classic New Orleans cookbook.

A wonderful addition to any collection of vintage cookbooks, Louisiana culinary history, or Southern and Creole cuisine.
