Antoine's Restaurant

Antoine's is a French-Creole restaurant in New Orleans that has been run by the same family since 1840, making it the city's oldest restaurant. It is the birthplace of Oysters Rockefeller, Eggs Sardou and Pommes de Terre Souffles, and it is a long-running favorite for private parties, weddings and corporate meetings. The dining rooms are known for their photographs of visiting celebrities and for a jazz brunch on Sundays.

Reservations are recommended and can be made online or by phone, though walk-ins are welcome when tables are available. Parties of 13 or more and private dining rooms need to be booked by phone or the contact form. Business casual dress is expected, with jackets suggested for gentlemen and athletic wear, caps and flip-flops not allowed. The restaurant is on Saint Louis Street in the French Quarter area of New Orleans, with its bar Hermes Bar one block away.
