Effervescence

Effervescence is a little off the beaten path but is worth the journey. They have an excellent selection of bubbly by the glass, it's not only Champagne but from all around the world. The brussels sprouts were some of the best I've eaten but the food in general was very good. The owner is very friendly, highly recommend making this part of your New Orleans food experience!

I cannot recommend this place enough. Honestly have never been treated better at a restaurant. The food was incredible. So unique and the attention to detail was just beautiful. Also had some of the best champagne I’ve ever tried. Such a romantic and engaging atmosphere. Can’t wait to come back.

A friendly and welcoming place, whether you want a cocktail, wine or a full meal. Spacious with beautiful decor. Effervescence is a classy place to meet friends or to gather for Sunday Brunch. Their Caviar and Bagel brunch is spectacular and enough to split with a friend. The service is quick, cheerful and very good. They also have a great wine list as well as a full cocktail bar. Effervescence offers a different concept than many other establishments in the French Quarter, in a very good way. I would highly recommend stopping in for a beverage or more when in the French Quarter.

What a delightful gem on Rampart St. Bubbles are top notch with a diverse selection sure to please anyone. The small plates are incredible. Go for the amazing bubbles and stellar customer service. Stay for the grilled peach dessert, spicy popcorn and people watching.

Oh what a time, oh what a time…My business partner and I decided to celebrate a milestone in our work so I suggested Effervescence because I love their Insta. It did not disappoint. The customer service was A1. If you love sparkling wine then this restaurant is a MUST. My only regret is going on a Friday night instead of the Sunday brunch because the food choices (while delicious) were limited. Final note, they warmed our brie before serving it and I fell in love!!!

Fantastic wine bar, great wine list, super friendly and knowledgeable staff! If in NOLA do mot miss this great vino gem!

Wonderful place. There's good service, and then there is great service. Effervescence is great service. Three of us went here, and each got a different bubbly drink. I had the Love You Cherry Much, a rye whiskey-based bubbly cocktail. Delicious. A delightful surprise was the house popcorn (gratis) full of cheesy, spicy goodness. There are nibbles, which we plan to try on our next visit.

We enjoyed a light lunch with some bubbles and wine. The grilled cheese wheel is delicious!

I went to a wedding & reception held at this establishment a few days ago and was blown away in every measure by which one can assess an experience in the field of hospitality.

I’m just going to start off with the service, because it was phenomenal. Many years ago I actually managed a wine bar so my standards might be set higher than most…but those standards weren’t just met, they were handily exceeded by the friendly, thoughtful and always helpful servers, bartenders, chefs, and owner.

I would be remiss if I didn’t mention what a beautiful restaurant this was (and the back yard is so perfect for smaller special events!).

Last but not least - food was amazing, and the wines were superb!

Absolutely amazing service, quality, and atmosphere. I'm usually very wordy in my reviews but it's not remotely necessary in this case. Reserve brunch. Have the caviar chips. Trust the drink suggestions. Take some seasoned popcorn home!

My partner and I travel annually to NOLA because of places like Effervescence. We did brunch for two and ordered only 1 caviar brunch and then ordered off the small plate menu. We enjoyed both of our tasting flights from the bubbles menu and our glass of the Hebrart. Onto the food- we both would trust anything that came out of their kitchen. From the stunning caviar presentation, a quintessential New Orleans scallop dish, to incredible desserts- everything was truly first class. Finally, the award for the great experience might belong to our cocktail creator- the cardamom cocktail was incredible and one of our favorite ever brunch cocktails. So wonderfully grateful to be able to experience our brunch- thank you again for a fantastic day!

Great little place for a champaigne brunch. Or dinner. Huge selection of champaigne. Very nice mixed drinks also. Brunch menu is limited but was excellent. Other days/ nights they offer small plates that are a great accompaniment to the drinks. Cool back outdoor patio. Love the atmosphere.

This place was amazing. Our server, Penn, was fantastic. They offered a delicious happy hour bubbly cocktail, oysters, small bites (to include the best warmed cheese I've ever had). Penn offered to take our photo and even recommended some other local places to check out. Since our visit, we have already been trying to find time to go back before our trip ends for more excellent service, cocktails and food.

Sunday Brunch. Could not have been more enjoyable. Food, drink and atmosphere could not have been better. Every staff member was friendly and knowledgeable. Can't wait to go back.

I am not a champagne connoisseur. This restaurant was perfect for introducing me to different types of sparkling wines from different regions. The tasting flights are great. The small plates were fresh and delicious. Everything went well with the drinks. I felt it was all fairly priced. If you are looking for a unique dining experience in New Orleans, this place is definitely worth checking out.

After a long weekend in New Orleans (my first time there), my wife and I decided to try Effervescence for our last meal before heading to the airport. We were absolutely blown away by the place, it was perfect from beginning to end! The restaurant is stunningly beautiful and the owner greeted us with such warm hospitality. The bar program is truly top notch, which is hard to say in a big drinking city like NOLA, but we were left slackjawed by the quality of the food!

The owner explained that the kitchen is run by a couple who have cut their teeth in Michelin-starred restaurants out west and abroad, and their experience really shines through, along with their creativity. My wife and I are huge seafood fans and have spent way too much money on meals in NYC and other major cities, and we consider the food here second-to-none! Each dish was so deliberately composed with depths of flavors that would open up with each bite. In our seafood plateau, there wasn't a single dish or element that wasn't thoughtfully put together and my wife and I were left unable to figure out which dish we enjoyed the most! But holy cow, the fried softshell crab and avocado lettuce wrap made my eyes roll backward, as it was easily the best fried softshell crab I've ever eaten!

During our first experience at Effervescence, I cannot find a single thing to fault as the execution of the staff, bar and kitchen was perfect. I mean perfect. The warmth of Crystal and Evan (one of the two chefs in the back) has left me with the most charmed memories of our experience and we can't wait to come back to New Orleans for another go! Crystal, if you're reading this, PLEASE keep up the amazing work and I'll see you once you get your James Beard Award or your first Michelin star, whichever comes first! :D

this was hands down the best discovery of my time in New Orleans. every single glass of sparkling i had tasted like the first from a bottle. and the fact that i could get half glasses meant i could try twice as many (including three BRITISH bruts that were absolutely amazing).

the glassware was beautiful, the decor perfect, staff friendly and knowledgeable, and the food was great. i had a crab and satsuma salad with ravigotte and a local sourdough type bread (their description for a naïve traveler) with some excellent butter. i had to go twice to make sure i didn't miss a single glass i wanted to try

this is a must try for any visit, and if you're a local you're wasting precious time reading this

I loved this place!. HIGHLY recommend and can't wait to get back! Everything we had was delish. And everyone working there, including the owner, was AMAZING!

This was a delightful treat on my brief stop in New Orleans. I enjoyed my prosecco pop and crab claws in a seat close to the front. The service was friendly and fast. I only wish I had a chance to try the brunch. A must stop away from the hustle of Bourbon Street

Such a great find!! We sat outside in the courtyard and I highly recommend it. Great food and amazing service. Will definitely be back again.
