Tujague’s, the second oldest restaurant in New Orleans, has moved to a three-story building at 429 Decatur St. with eight dining rooms, a courtyard and a balcony. The first floor is made up of the bar with Otis Guichet’s portrait hanging on the wall; the Parlor Room, which includes banquet seating and white wainscoting with mirrors; and the Begue Room, which resembles the main dining room in the old building with the same chandeliers and white wainscoting with mirrors. Beyond the Begue Room is a courtyard with patio lights and a lovely wall of greenery and planters. The second floor includes the Krewe of Iris Room and the Krewe of Iris annex with a balcony used for regular and private dining. There’s also a private dining room overlooking the courtyard called the Patio Room. Finally, the third floor includes two private rooms: The Steven Latter Room has green elements throughout, and the Guichet Room is perfect for board dinners or elegant wine dinners. 429 D
