It is a nearly impossible feat to visit New Orleans and not reserve a table at Antoine's.  Their French-Creole cuisine is quite synonymous with New Orleans, and it attracts diners from all over the globe. 

Operated in the French Quarter for 174 years, by the fifth generation descendants of the Alciatore family, Antoine's is a staple for white-linen dining, paired with impeccable service that can make every patron feel like a visiting dignitary. 

The menu is expansive, offering dishes that are created from original recipes, and delivered to your table with creative presentation and a classic flare that just can not be imitated. 

The menu begins with a pleasing array of appetizers, such as the Crevettes Remoulade or the Escargots a la Bordelaise.  However the dish of most renowned is the Oysters Rockefeller, created right in the restaurant by the second generation proprietor. 

The main courses are unmatched, with offerings such as the Delmonico Centercut Ribeye, the Poulet Sauce Rochambeau, and the Filet de Truite Amandine. 

If you find is possible to save room for dessert, the signature Omelette Alaska Antoine, their take on the Baked Alaska, is the obvious choice.
