One of the most famous restaurants in New Orleans, home of fine Creole cuisine.

Galatoire's Restaurant was founded in 1897 by Jean Galatoire, an immigrant from a small village near Pau, France in the foothills of the Pyrenees Mountains. The restaurant is still run by his fourth generation descendants. Galatoire's moved to its current location in 1905, when Galatoire purchased Victor’s Restaurant, in business at the location since 1830. He renamed the restaurant and began cooking the dishes from his homeland. Galatoire’s specializes in French Creole cooking. The main entrance, a French door, leads into the first floor dining room. The first floor dining room is a mix of high ceilings, slow moving paddle fans and mirrored opposing walls, maintaining much of the look of a mid-19th century restaurant. The second floor dining rooms, opened in 1999, comprise smaller rooms overlooking Bourbon Street. At lunch men may dress casually, although after 5pm, and all day on Sundays, men must wear a jacket.
