About Orléans

Orléans is a French restaurant and bar on Duporth Avenue in Maroochydore that cooks with the flavours of New Orleans. Expect Creole dishes such as seafood gumbo and jambalaya alongside classic French technique. The restaurant suits birthdays, work dinners and catch-ups with old friends. Groups can sit at a long table in the dining room, take a section of the restaurant, or book the whole building. With exclusive use, the dining room and outdoor area together seat 70 guests or hold 100 standing. Whole-venue bookings can be made for any day, including Sunday and Monday when the restaurant is otherwise closed. Groups of nine or more can choose a set menu on any day of the week. The three-course set menu is $85 per person, and the four-course shared tasting menu is $100 per person, with a vegetarian tasting menu also offered. For a stand-up event, canapé packages start at $36 per person for one hour and four selections, rising to $64 per person for three hours and seven selections. Cornbread with bacon jam or baked goats cheese can be served as guests arrive. The published menus are a starting point, and the chef can create something different for the right booking.
