 Bon Ton Cafe Restaurant Review: There is nothing like an original, and Bon Ton is certainly that. When it opened in the 1950s, it offered New Orleans diners fluent in Creole cuisine some of their first tastes of true Cajun cooking. Today, the place seems a bit old-fashioned, yet charming, with its waitresses in matronly aprons and historic ambience. The seasonal crawfish dinner offers a four-dish sampler of specialties, including crawfish etouffée, jambalaya, crawfish omelet and a chef's selection. Dark crawfish bisque is authentic, with stuffed crawfish heads. The crab meat au gratin may be overwhelming even as an appetizer, but the broiled redfish Bon Ton makes a fine entrée. All of this substantial cuisine deserves weighty wines to go with it, and the wine list does not disappoint. While not extensive, it covers all the bases and offers globally sourced selections. Talk yourself into a double dessert of bread pudding with whiskey sauce, topped with butter pecan ice cream. |
