(reservations will be made for you in advance) at your choice of one
of the Creole "grande dames" of the New Orleans dining scene:
-
Antoines
Founded in 1840 by the Alciatore family, Antoine's is not only the
oldest restaurant in New Orleans but also the oldest in America under
continuous operation. With its long history of serving Creole high
society, Antoine's set the standard that has made New Orleans one
of the great dining centers of the world. Antoine's sprawling menu,
written in French, could be a textbook for old-fashioned Creole cooking.
- Tujague's
The second oldest restaurant in New Orleans, Tujague's was established
in 1856. It began by serving breakfast and lunch to the dock workers,
market laborers and seamen who crowded the riverfront at the time.
There is a choice of four entrees, but otherwise everyone in the restaurant
eats the same thing - the same communal dining style common in 19th
century eateries. Today, the customers are still served several traditional
Tujague's specialties ˆ shrimp remoulade, beef brisket with horseradish,
"cap" bread (a Tujague's original) and dark coffee in shot
glasses.
- Arnaud's
This restaurant was founded in 1910 by Arnaud Cazenave, a colorful
French wine salesman who later came to be known as Count Arnaud, though
the regal title was self-applied. The menu features the Creole classics
with some updated recipes, and a jazz band performs in the front dining
room in the evenings.
