Arnaud's restaurant

New Orleanians know a good thing when they see it, and they hang on to it. Take Arnaud's. This French Quarter member of the culinary old guard is still serving up tradition in grand style... From the moment you arrive, festivity fizzes in the air. More of the past unfolds on Arnaud's second floor in the Mardi Gras Museum with an astonishing display of exquisite jeweled ball gowns and other memorabilia belonging to the restaurant's former owner... You don't want to miss this. Returned to 19th century grandeur, the elegant rooms at Arnaud's reflect impeccable design and architectural integrity. In these elegant surroundings, a tuxedo-clad waitstaff, a minimum of one for each ten guests, provide attentive service. Whatever the occasion, Arnaud's superb staff ensures that your festive cocktail party or reception, intimate dinner or large celebration complete with music for dancing, is a memorable dining experience. "Reserve a table in the nostalgic main dining room, with its gorgeous mosaic floors and beveled glass windows, or in the Arnaud's Jazz Bistro, where you can indulge your appetite for food and jazz alike."
