New Orleans School of Cooking

524 St. Louis St · New Orleans, LA

Why you should go…

The New Orleans School of Cooking operates out of a converted 19th-century molasses warehouse at 524 St. Louis Street in the French Quarter. Daily demonstration classes teach dishes such as gumbo, jambalaya and pralines and include tastings of what is prepared. The school also runs an attached retail shop, the Louisiana General Store, selling regional food products.

Good to know

General tours guidance

Habits that pay off across this whole category, not rules for this one venue. Always check the official site for the specifics.

  • Confirm the meeting point

    It is often a corner, a lobby, or a dock rather than the address you searched for. Check it the night before.

  • Small groups fill first

    In high season the intimate departures sell out well before the big-bus options do.

  • Ask how much is on foot

    Knowing how much of the route is walking, standing, or outdoors tells you what to wear and carry.

  • Read the weather policy

    Cancellation windows and rain rules vary by operator, and they are easier to find before you pay than after.
