"Soup is an indispensable course at Brigtsen's. Chef Frank Brigtsen has a wide range of great soups, most of them showing up as specials. This one goes back to the beginnings of his restaurant, and combines flavors brilliantly."

Michael Bauer

"For a treat, try the seafood platter featuring a half-dozen preparations, such as oysters Bienville or grilled drum fish with crawfish."

Sandy Axelrod

"Soup was rich, creamy and loaded with flavor."

Robert St. John

"The Butternut Shrimp Bisque at Brigtsen’s is the second best soup I have ever eaten. It would be on any last-meal list I ever compiled."

The Savvy Native

"When dining at Brigtsen’s, you shouldn’t miss the Butternut Shrimp Bisque."

Linda Smith

"This soup was pure heaven. Creamy, smooth and just the right combination of squash and shrimp flavors. I highly recommend this soup."

Chuck Taggart

"You can't miss with any of the soups, especially the lovely butternut squash shrimp bisque."

Ziggy U.

"Started with a terrific duo of soups. A very dark and satisfying seafood gumbo, and an even better butternut shrimp bisque. The bisque was creamy, not too sweet, and had just enough pleasant heat to balance things out."

John Michael Early

"You can't miss with any choice, but the Butternut Shrimp Bisque is a must have."

Opal Broussard

"I must tell you where I ate this soup for the first time, and where I eat it every time I visit New Orleans for at least one night - Brigtsen's Restaurant. Fabulous cream soup!"
