Copeland’s of New Orleans and Copeland’s Cheesecake Bistro

In 1983, Al Copeland decided to open a restaurant centered around two New Orleans traditions: homestyle New Orleans cooking and southern hospitality. His concept, Copeland’s of New Orleans, served a menu of made-from-scratch dishes such as shrimp and tasso pasta or veal Copeland in a colorful and festive atmosphere. Nearly 30 years later, the restaurant has grown to encompass franchised locations in six states. But they still serve some of the original dishes that put them on the map.

A sister property to Al’s original restaurant, Copeland’s Cheesecake Bistro also serves New Orleans cuisine, but the menu has a more upscale feel to it with fusion dishes such as crawfish ravioli and blackened ahi tuna. The bistro’s signature dessert—homemade cheesecake with a buttery pecan crust—comes in numerous flavors including bananas foster, strawberry, and white chocolate raspberry.
