Galatoire's: "A Bourbon Street mainstay" Galatoire's Tip by acemj

This is classic New Orleans cuisine at its best. The French Creole menu is packed with familiar and famous dishes that have helped defined the city and its dining scene. It's ironically situated on the somewhat tacky side of Bourbon Street next to strip clubs and cheesy tourist shops, but when you step inside, you'll be surrounded by elegance. It's also notorious for attracting celebrities. Over the years, legends such as Tennessee Williams and Ronald Reagan have eaten here.

Favorite Dish: A sampling might include any or all of the following: shrimp remoulade, oysters Rockefeller, Creole gumbo, crabmeat Maison, shrimp Clemenceau, pompano with sautéed crabmeat meuniere, and banana bread pudding.
Prices are not outrageous. You can eat dinner here with an appetizer, entree and dessert for $25 not including tip or drinks.
