Founded in 1905 by Jean Galatoire, this infamous address distinguished itself on Bourbon St. From the small village of Pardies, France, Jean Galatoire brought recipes and traditions inspired by the familial dining style of his homeland. The restaurant’s culinary customs and reservation statutes have been preserved with little change throughout the decades. All of this and much much more make this a restaurant you need to try when visiting New Orleans.

**Fun Fact – One Friday, President Ronald Reagan placed a call to former U.S. Senator J. Bennett Johnston, who happened to be waiting in line for a table at Galatoire’s. After the President’s call ended, Senator Johnston graciously returned to his position in line.
