| Broussard’s tends to fly under the radar, while remaining one of the oldest continually operating restaurants in the French Quarter. Since its founding in the 1920s, Broussard's has existed among the grandest of the grand old Creole establishments, lavished with finery in the nineteenth century mode. Numerous Creole classics dot the menu, but familiarity doesn't breed contempt in this case. Shrimp rémoulade, beef daube glacé (occasionally available) and a Gulf fish meunière all get a new lease on life; they're done with originality and flair under the direction of chef/proprietor Gunter Preuss, a native of Berlin. In true Creole fashion, crab rules the kitchen, as seen in a crab meat and melon salad, crab meat in a baked artichoke with Brie béchamel sauce, and lump crab meat with Gulf shrimp with Creole tomato relish. Broussard’s extensive wine list is international in scope, offering two dozen varieties by the glass. Linger on the courtyard with a dessert tray for two. Formally clad waiters are most obliging. During Mardi Gras, Broussard's is open for lunch. |
