Sneaky Pickle Brine - New Orleans

I visited this restaurant for lunch and was very impressed with the food! The mac and cheese was a delightful surprise. I definitely plan to return! They also requested my vaccination proof, which I was able to show using the LA Wallet ID app.

This restaurant is truly one-of-a-kind, offering a wide range of fermented and pickled vegetarian and vegan dishes. There are plenty of options to choose from. While the menu does include non-vegetarian items, vegetarians will definitely enjoy this spot. Every dish is bursting with complex flavors. I had the most vibrant Bloody Mary I’ve ever seen! And the pickled vegetables on the rim? Absolutely incredible!

The brief wait to get a table was definitely worth it. We enjoyed the food so much that we returned two nights in a row. The staff was fantastic, and every item on the menu was thoughtfully crafted and delicious. I highly recommend the gnocchi, scallops, and mushroom dish.

Upscale food, cocktails, and beer at reasonable prices. Prompt, but not intrusive service. The scallops main dish and salad appetizer were both excellent. Great beer list with draft and canned options. Broad wine list with a lot of interesting varietals such as gruner veltliner. Highly recommended. Bar Brine also accommodated our 15 minute tardy arrival for our dinner reservation. That was much appreciated. We will be back.

We really liked our food drinks here. We did end up ordering quite a bit of stuff, but everyone loved it all: Hand Cut Fries These were actually kinda average, fried well, but just standard Charcuterie This dish shines, the meats, the cheeses, the mustards, all super great! Cauliflower Granols This was amazing, so so so good. Squid Ink Noodles The wife reported this as being very good Burger This was a tasty burder, the bacon had excellent flavor Reuben I'mnot a vegetarian, but I ordered this anyway, and it was quite nice. I'd get it again. For drinks, we got some local(ish) beers that were yummy, and a couple of cocktails, the glittery one was just OK though. For service, everyone weencountered was great and we didn't have any issues.
