Mr. B's Bistro

“Founded in 1905 by Jean Galatoire, this infamous address distinguished itself on Bourbon St. from its humble beginning. From the small village of Pardies, France, Jean Galatoire brought recipes and traditions inspired by the familial dining style of his homeland to create the menu and ambiance of the internationally-renowned restaurant. In its fifth generation, it is the Galatoire family and descendants who have carried the tradition of New Orleans’ fine dining restaurants and influenced its evolution. The restaurant’s culinary customs and reservation statutes have been preserved with little change throughout the decades. Consistency has been the greatest asset that Galatoire’s has displayed for more than a century. In April 2013, Galatoire’s added a steakhouse to its family of restaurants with the opening of Galatoire's "33" Bar & Steak next door to the original Galatoire’s on Bourbon St. Louisiana businessman John Georges is the majority owner of Galatoire’s and Galatoire’s "33" Bar & Steak. The two restaurants are also owned and partly operated by several descendants of the Galatoire family. ”

“Feels like a museum where everything is for sale, but in curvy brick stairwells rather than on big white walls. Still, they're all here: Arbus, Penn, Ritts, Mapplethorpe, Doisneau. Also home to a deep collection of rare and special-edition photography books.”

“Local coffee shop, good people watching in the heart of the French Quarter.”

“The Court of Two Sisters is legendary for its brunch buffet, including the classic Eggs Benedict or Veal Grillades and Gravy. At dinner, Creole dishes abound, with new and inspiring twists provided by Chef Chad Penedo. For parties, the Court of Two Sisters is amply equipped with four dining rooms of different sizes to host both casual gatherings and upscale soirees. Casual dining is also available at the Court Tavern, offering po-boys, gumbo, jambalaya, and other New Orleans dishes. The Court of Two Sisters’ location at 613 Royal Street once housed a governor of colonial Louisiana, later becoming the home of Bertha and Emma Camors, the two sisters after whom the Fein Family's landmark restaurant is named. The sisters owned a “notions” shop here, selling imported Parisian perfume and other niceties for New Orleans’ upper-class ladies. The Court of Two Sisters now pays homage to the Camor Sisters, serving French Creole plates and classic New Orleans dishes in 613 Royal’s unique setting.”
