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

600-698 Pere Antoine Alley, New Orleans, LA 70116, USA

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.
