For an authentic New Orleans experience, Galatoire's still is the best of the old New Orleans restaurants. If you don't see what you want on the menu, they will make every effort to accommodate you. Service is great and food divine!

this is by far one of the best restraunts in New Orleans. This is 5 STAR dining all the way. Yankess be sure not to be caught dead in Galatoire's during the summer time in a dark suit. Go get yourself a sear sucker suit and become a part of a New Orleans tradition.

Not as good as it used to be, some winners and some losers, service always great
by noladiner
go go dancers would improve overall atmosphere, if coupled with authentic , leiderhosen clad, Belgian belly dancers. Also, on a side note.... An unexpected delight. Keep up the good work.

When you eat at Eat at Galatoires,and you will know you have had the best food in New orleans.

The best food in all of New Orleans. I first visited when I was a child with my grandparents, Dr. and Mrs. J. P. Mauboules from Rayne, La. Helen Larriviere Foreman

I love this place! The wait staff is very attentive and knowledegable, and they are glad to answer any questions about the extensive menu. Wonderful classic New Orleans seafood dishes and sinful desserts...mmmmmm.
by greekgirl
Not only is this one of the finest restaurants in America, it is probably the most consistant kitchen I've ever encountered. Very little has changed since I first ate there in 1961, except the prices!. My waiter has even been there since 1969! All seafood will be memorable, esp. the Trout Margeury, the Trout Almondine, and the Broiled Pompano-all World-class dishes perfectly representing true Haute Creole cooking. The Shrimp Remoulade is better than anybody else's. Also try the Oysters en Brochette, the Fried soft-shelled crabs, the Crabmeat Maisson, and the Gumbo. Also great are the Potatoes Brabant and the Green Salad with Garlic. Everything is ala carte, and it can add up pretty fast, but individual items are really reasonably priced, considering the quality of the food. It is a very memorable spot. They are open for lunch, but the menu is the same all day. No reservations- best time to go is mid-afternoon. Also wonderful French Bread and the best coffee in the city.

fancier place to eat - jacket required

Hands down the best meal I've had in New Orleans. Amazing steak prepared with mushroom, broccoli cheddar, crab and shrimp appetizer, French 75 and Kentucky reserve

Baked Oysters!!! So very good!!
by Anthony J
We had dinner here and was extremely impressed with the food and it wasn't as pricey as other places. Guys must wear a jacket of some sort, sports coat, suite coat for example.
by Keven X
Good/very good food, service so so...Jacket on Sunday required...come on! This is bourbon street!
by L M
I would have taken a picture of the Banana Praline Bread Pudding but there was nothing left! Amazing. I will come back for that alone...
by M Bayne
Fancy dinner spot - get ready to drop some $, but worth it.
by Rachael
A New Orleans must, fine creole dining at its best. Oysters Rockefeller are beyond this world. Men: Don't forget your blazer, you won't be seated without one
by Jarrod J
This place has the best gumbo in town! Now, get it ON with those crabs!

Truly family owned with authentic southern hospitality. Gorgeous dining room. Souffle potatoes w remoulade are a must try
by Sandy L.
An amazing experience.
by Pat Patton
We got here at 11:35 am on a Friday and could not get seated. Had to put our Names down for a 2 hour wait. We should have come by around 10 am and put our names on the list.

Best restaurant and service in NOLA. Period.
by Erin Finegold
É um restaurante tradicional da cidade, mas eu me decepcionei muito. Fraco, pra dizer o mínimo!
by Paula F.
Just one word for everything: meh!
by Paula F.
Wasn't a huge fan of the place, but they make a good pimm's cup and they have fried oysters and good crawfish étouffée

Southern drawls bounce off the black-and-white checked floors and elegant mirrored walls as you soak up old-money New Orleans at its most raucous.
by Epicurious
The Friday lunch is one of the best dining experiences anywhere. Arrive at 11:30 to get a table in the downstairs dining room
by Jeremy F.
Eater National 38 member: Join the feast of Creole classics with oysters Rockefeller covered in a lava of pureed greens, fried trout, and pompano heightened by brown butter and crabmeat.
by Eater
Beautiful space! Got the oysters Rockefeller based on everyone's suggestions but I think it's an acquired taste
by Jessie Chen
VERY old school. Excellent food, but an older crowd.
by LeeAnn T.
Wonderful food and atmosphere, dress well and males have to wear a jacket (they will lend you one).
by Siw Shauni H.
I felt like I was back in slavery days while dining here. The vintage decor, the black wait staff....but all in all it was decent.
by Carlis L.
Amazing. The soft shelled crab is delicious, the oysters Rockefeller are wonderful, and the bananas foster is a treat!!
by Meg L.
John Besh, chef of Borgne, eats here on his nights off. He loves the Soufflé potatoes.

Absolutely wonderful! 5 stars!
by Mary Louise J
Old school, elegant restaurant. Great special occasion venue. Loved the bone marrow appetizers

Serviço diferenciado com talheres de prata. Muito bom o " shrimp au vin".
by Andrea N
Didn't live up to expectations sadly. One beef dish had to be sent back as it wasn't cooked correctly and was tough - the replacement was good. Service ok not great. Not going back.
by Claire B.
We didn't eat here we just nipped in for a cocktail. I wasn't impressed with the bartender at all.
by Arlene Hazeltine
The Oysters Rockefeller are not to be missed at this old-school New Orleans institution.

Go more for the scenery and people watching than the food. A drink and snack and you'll feel like royalty.

The worst service in New Orleans. She's loud, rude. Her name is Tacy. And yes, the food is excellent!

Fantastic food and great service!!

Oysters Rockefeller are amazing
by David S.
Classic high end New Orleans food and atmosphere. A cross between 5 star elegance and a place where you walk and talk to folks. The Poisson Meunière Amandine and Oysters Rockefeller are to die for.

Too full for dessert? Order the Café Brûlot, a giant bowl of tableside-flambéed coffee with orange liqueur and spices. Via CityEats.com

They have a James Beard award which is impressive but I wasn't impressed with the food. Main dining room is too bright, crowded and very loud. You can get a better steak somewhere else in NOLA.

There's a small bar at the top of the stairs, go enjoy a quiet drink up there before/after food in the bustling dining room & chat with the bartender, always get at least fun conversation.
by Phillip K.
Stop by and try one of my personal signature cocktails, the 'Mona Lisa' and 'Fleur de Lisa' are growing more and more popular every Friday!

If soft shells are in season, you will not be disappointed. And, if the mood strikes you, enter the flaming world of the Cafe Brulot head out.

this place is a new Orleans must despite the Bourbon St address it is a very classy establishment with excellent food & service.

You have to wear a jacket it fucking sucks because the ones they have there are all HUGE

Try the golden-crusted cauliflower au gratin, it's a classic side.
by Gambit New Orleans
We had the: escargot, crab maison, oysters Rockefeller, sweet potato cheesecake. They were all WONDERFUL and my kids loved them too. The place has a little wait but you can get a drink. A great meal

If asked who you want to serve you, ask for Shannon. Excellent service and knowledgeable about food. She won't steer you wrong.
by Persio L.
Be sure to order Cafe Brulot at the end of the meal!

Broiled pompano topped with crab is terrific (and the shrimp remoulade)
by Pete G.
A must when in New Orleans. Lunch is the time to Go! Do not sit Upstairs, the Siberia of Galatoire's. Only take a table in the Main Dining Room on the ground floor if you want the Full Galatoire exper

We went on a Saturday night when the Saints were playing... No wait!

Yes, gentlemen, jackets are required at this one-of-a-kind French Quarter classic founded in 1905. The menu doesn't change (order oysters Rockefeller and souffléed potatoes), nor do the charming waite

The service was a little distracted. Everything else ok. Not our best restaurant

Had a reservation, waiting an hour, still waiting... You're call.

The souffle potatoes and friend eggplant are to die for. Billy and Shannon are the best waiters.
by Maitland F.
People come here to rub shoulders, clearly not for the food. it's true to its confederate roots...if you know what I mean.
by Kevin B.
There's no server in all of New Orleans better than Shannon!

Crabmeat Maison is great, as is the Turtle Soup, and get a sazerac! www.biteandbooze.com
by Bite and Booze
don't forget, fellas...you need a jacket to get in. they have some to borrow if you forget! try the fried eggplant app (with bearnaise sauce!)
by Corinne W.
Get here early on Friday for lunch, because you'll be dining with the New Orleans business elite. French-Creole classics are on the menu here, like thick, peppery gumbo and steak with bearnaise sauce.

Ask for John when you go!
by Jodie L.
I know Galitoire's is famed for their service, but the two times I've been here I have had mediocre waiters. It's probably because I eat alone on business.
by Tiffany S.
Hit this spot on Friday for lunch, book ahead, it's always busy. Your weekend starts here, the locals will take you under there wing! Make sure you order the deep fried soft shell crab.
by Bobby R.
Took my wife Shelley to Galatoire's on Bourbon STreet Saturday night before Mama Mia at the Mahalia Jackson Theater. Trout Almondine was to die for
