About Olive Garden in New Orleans
The Carondelet Street location at 339 Carondelet St is extraordinary by any measure. Sitting in New Orleans's Central Business District near the Superdome and the French Quarter edge, it holds a 4.8-star rating — placing it among the top-rated Olive Garden restaurants nationally. For a chain restaurant to achieve that rating in one of America's most food-obsessed cities speaks to the execution at this specific location. It opens at 10 AM daily and closes at 8:30 PM, with a shorter window than typical locations.
The General De Gaulle Drive location at 5145 General De Gaulle Dr serves Algiers — the only west bank neighborhood within New Orleans proper — separated from the main city by the Mississippi River. Both restaurants serve the full Italian-American menu; the CBD location in particular draws tourists and convention-goers from the Ernest N. Morial Convention Center who want a satisfying, reliable dinner at non-French-Quarter prices.
