Galatoire’s – “One of the oldest of the Creole-French restaurants in New Orleans, Galatoire’s is in the Vieux Carre’ section, contributing to the city’s worldwide fame as a gourmet’s paradise. No reservations are taken and the long line of patrons waiting for tables is a familiar and unusual sight. Visitors should not overlook this most excellent establishment.”
Trout Marguery – “It has been a standard seafood dish in France, but this particular delicious preparation was developed in the long ago at the Restaurant Marguery in Paris. It became known to the Galatoire’s through the Marguery’s chef, and the genius of the French in making sauces is strikingly emphasized in this dish. Marguery’s used sole or flounder, but Galatoire’s have adapted the recipe to Gulf speckled trout.”
