205 Bourbon St

Prime ground-floor restaurant space available for lease at 205 Bourbon Street, located on one of the highest-traffic, most visible and popular blocks in the French Quarter. The property is currently operating as Olde Nola Cookery, a well-known Cajun and Creole restaurant, offering a rare opportunity to step into a fully built-out, turn-key food and beverage location on Bourbon Street. 

The space features a large, flexible interior footprint with three separate dining rooms, large restrooms, and a layout designed for high-volume service and events. Two iconic wrought-iron balconies provide direct views over Bourbon Street, creating unique opportunities for outdoor seating, guest experience, or brand visibility. 

An additional upper level (4th floor) provides valuable space for storage, staff use, and/or operational support - adding flexibility for wide range of restaurant or bar concepts. 

The property is fully equipped with existing fixtures and commercial kitchen infrastructure, allowing an incoming operator to take over quickly with minimal build-out. Currently open daily from 11:00 AM to 1:00 AM, the location benefits from constant pedestrian traffic, late-night demand, and strong tourism volume. 

This is an exceptional chance to secure a fully built-out food and beverage location on the 200 block of Bourbon Street, steps from Galatoire’s, in the heart of New Orleans’ highest-demand dining and entertainment corridor.
