An historic French-Creole building dating back to the 1800s is home to this most elegant and charming of New Orleans restaurants. Chef-owner John Besh offers a dynamic contemporary French menu with a focus on local ingredients and reflections of his own Louisiana roots. Luxurious surroundings include a two-story wine room where Besh keeps a selection of European boutique wines rarely found elsewhere in town.
