Is there a more delicious way to step back in time than a meal at Antoine’s Restaurant? Right here in the heart of the French Quarter, Antoine’s Restaurant has been serving up culinary delights since 1840. That makes it not just the oldest restaurant in New Orleans, but the oldest family-run restaurant in the entire United States. Antoine Alciatore, a young chef barely out of his teens, opened the original location just a block from where we stand now. Antoine’s became so popular that it quickly outgrew its first home. Now, imagine this: You’re seated in the elegant 1840 Room, named for the year of the restaurant’s founding. The walls are adorned with family portraits, gleaming silver, and even an original Edison light bulb, casting a warm glow on your table. You’re about to order a dish that made Antoine’s famous, Oysters Rockefeller. This legendary dish, with its rich, flavorful sauce, was invented right here in this very restaurant by Antoine’s son, Jules. Though imitated countless times, the original recipe remains a closely guarded secret, passed down through generations of the Alciatore family. As you savor each bite, remember that you’re experiencing a taste of history at Antoine’s Restaurant.
