St. Anthony's Garden
Known For
Cathedral-backed courtyard with a genuinely moody, timeless stillness
Tucked behind St. Louis Cathedral, St. Anthony's Garden carries a moody atmosphere that no amount of tourist foot traffic has managed to dilute. Worn stone, trailing vines, and a quiet that feels almost conspiratorial.
🕐Best time to visit: Just before dusk on a foggy evening
Our Take
St. Anthony's Garden is a tucked-away courtyard behind St. Louis Cathedral, draped in shadow and Spanish moss, with a moody romantic atmosphere that feels completely removed from Bourbon Street chaos. With only 22 ratings it's genuinely undervisited — the kind of place a well-meaning stranger points you toward on your last afternoon in town.
