Friends, it is with heavy hearts that we share that Palace Café will close its doors on July 7th.

For 34 years, Palace Café has stood proudly on Canal Street as a vibrant reflection of New Orleans — our music, our food, our people, our joy. Since opening in 1991 in the iconic Werlein’s music building, we’ve had the extraordinary privilege of serving millions of guests from around the world and right here at home.

We’ve witnessed weddings, birthdays, anniversaries, business deals, adoptions, Mardi Gras Magic, and even a few presidential visits. We’ve seen proposals (they all said yes!) and quiet moments that turned into lasting memories. Being a part of your lives has been the greatest gift of all.

None of it would have been possible without the remarkable people who brought Palace Café to life each day. Our team – past and present – poured their talent, heart, and hospitality into every moment. They are the soul of Palace Café and the reason that so many guests felt at home here. We are forever grateful for the joy, grace, and resilience they’ve shown over the years.

This moment comes not by choice, but by circumstance. A recent court ruling tied to our 35-year lease has made it impossible to continue operations at 605 Canal. We are appealing the decision and holding onto hope, but for now, we must say goodbye to this beloved corner of the French Quarter.

We’re not ready to say Palace Café is gone forever. Should the right opportunity arise, we will welcome it with open arms. In the meantime, you can still find us doing what we love at our sister restaurants across the city.

Thank you, New Orleans, for 34 unforgettable years. You’ll always be part of our story.

With Gratitude,

Lauren, Dickie & Steve ❤️⚜️
