The pink French Quarter landmark where Bananas Foster was invented in 1951 — a Royal Street institution that went through a celebrated 2014 restoration and came back as vibrant as ever. The turtle soup, the eggs Hussarde at the legendary breakfast, the flaming dessert finished at your table. Courtyard seating, a serious wine cellar, and the kind of polished service that defines old-line New Orleans. For a grand Creole breakfast or dinner with the theater intact.
