Cochon RESTAURANT

Good food and quite a few options. The creamy grits were excellent and it was nice to be able to try something that was southern and GF.

They couldn’t find the gluten free menu, but staff was very knowledgable about gluten allergies and cross contamination.

So, while it's good they have a gluten free menu, they brought me an appetizer with the mustard sauce the gluten free menu said contained gluten. When I asked the waiter, he said that was right and they'd replace it without the sauce. 15 minutes go by, and then the waiter says the sausage was mistakenly on

the GF menu so it wasn't safe for me to eat. If I had not questioned the server, ai would have had a double dose of gluten!

The server was lovely and the restaurant is trying, but their actual performance with respect to eating gluten free was poor.

Also, I did not love that my swordfish was not cooked all the way through. It was half raw.

A GF menu is available upon request and many of the items can prepared accordingly. The food was excellent! The namesake Cochon with dirty rice and collards were amazing and ordered a side of lime beans that were very good as well. The staff was mostly knowlwdgable but would suggest asking questions and being informative to them since at times, they appeared to be confused.

Also, there is an extension of the restaurant called Butcher which is more casual. It appears to be more sandwich oriented so not sure about GF options.

HUGE dedicated gluten free menu with consideration for cross contamination. Incredibly helpful and considerate staff. Easily one of the best restaurants in New Orleans. And their butcher shop side is also spectacular. It's a must try if you haven't been.

No GF menu but server was knowledgeable of GF items. Items pointed out were GF but there was possible cross contamination. Menu options are similar to the options in a posted pic from another reviewer.

Fantastic experience. The server brought me a menu that she’d written on with what was GF and accounted for cross contamination. Pan fried catfish was GF and delicious!

Very aware of celiac and cross contamination. The bartender took a menu to the chief and he personally marked what I could and couldn’t eat. I was pleasantly surprised! There’s actually a ton of options. I had never been to NOLA and wanted to try some creole food, so I was pumped that I wasn’t stuck with a salad. It was awesome.

The first time we ate there was amazing. The chef created a wonderful GF vegetarian dish for me. We had a three course meal with excellent service. The second time was a disaster. They were not knowledgeable and ended up serving me a warm salad and charging me for a premium entree (in addition to the starter salad). Had to flag down waiter to get a drink refill, and the manager was not any help either.

Other Characteristics

• Good for lunch

Staff was knowledgeable and friendly. Lots of gf choices. Ambiance was fun and drinks are tasty

Celiac friendly?

Yes

I came here as a former review mentioned a GF menu, however, I was informed there was no GF menu but the pork ribs were safe. Despite them being heavenly, I did get sick after eating here so I’m unsure of their cook space / cross contamination.

Celiac friendly?

No

Gluten free menu. Staff knowledgable and friendly. Food was delicious and I did not get sick.

Very knowledgeable about celiac and I did not get sick. I am also vegan and I knew a place with a meat-only menu might be difficult. The waiter knew exactly what vegan was and told me the kitchen would create something great. Well, they basically gave me a plate of assorted cheeses. In their defense, when I pointed it out, they apologized and quickly fixed it, and brought me out a delicious plate of veggies with spices. But, it was $23 and I was still hungry when I left.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Staff always marks up menu for me with GF options

Knowledgeable staff. No GF menu but they advise on options. Good food.

Doesn’t have a dedicated GF menu but the staff was extremely knowledgeable. They physically marked all the GF entrees in pen for me on my menu. At least half of the menu was GF. When the food came out the person who delivered it to our table specifically stated everything was GF before I asked. Best meal I’ve had in New Orleans.

Celiac friendly?

Yes
