Enjoy a meal in the Rib Room, the signature restaurant of the Omni Royal Orleans that has served guests and celebrity visitors for more than 50 years. This prestigious restaurant pays homage to the culinary history within this historic hotel, as legend has it the word “cocktail” and the phrase “there is no such thing as a free lunch” both originated within the signature restaurant of this fabled hotel. Or savor a meal in the exclusive Pipkin Room, which is located just 15 steps below the Rib Room. The ideas for the Superdome as well as the Louisiana Jazz and Heritage Festival were developed within the Pipkin Room, which gets its name from a three-legged earthenware cooking pot.

Dig into New Orleans culture at a weekend jazz brunch at the Rib Room at Omni Royal Orleans.

Pair a classic beignet with chicory root coffee. Beignets are fried French doughnuts covered in a dusting of powdered sugar. Chicory coffee is linked to times of shortage, during which roasted chicory root is added to coffee grounds to stretch a coffee drinker’s supply. The result is a slightly sweet and nutty flavor. New Orleans coffee houses embraced the chicory root after the American Civil War, and local city roasters now specialize in this bold brew. Sample both New Orleans favorites at the French Market.
