Meet chicken bonne femme, an off-the-menu dish for generations at @tujagues_restaurant , an insider’s tip spread by word of garlicky mouth.
It’s a memorable dish. Is it one that can also turn back the clock? That is what Tujague’s is proposing.
Opened in 1856, it is the second oldest restaurant in New Orleans. Only Antoine’s has a longer history.
Tujague’s is marking 170 years in business in 2026 with a slate of specials drawn from that history and also, perhaps, to reintroduce the restaurant itself, a classic that has changed a great deal yet still endures.
So in March, a dish that’s never been on the menu will be in the spotlight.
I tried it again recently, and this is definitely a destination dish.
