About Antoine's Restaurant

Antoine's has served French-Creole cooking in the French Quarter since 1840 and is still owned and run by fifth-generation relatives of founder Antoine Alciatore. The kitchen is the birthplace of Oysters Rockefeller, Eggs Sardou and the puffed potatoes called pommes de terre souffles. You eat in one of 15 dining rooms, several decorated with Mardi Gras krewe memorabilia, and a 165-foot corridor holds the wine. Sunday brings a jazz brunch, and Cafe Brulot is flamed at the table.
