Arnaud's Restaurant Cookbook

"Critic-Proof. This glittery old-line Creole institution manages to keep on sparkling with such winners as grand puffs of souffle potatoes, and a silky and rich oyster stew with cream. Dress up and bask in the finery of the handsome old main dining room."DIVERSION"If you'd rather dine in style, 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."TRAVEL & LEISURE"They also have the city's first creme brulee, and the best and most dramatic version of bananas Foster and cafe brulot around."CITY BUSINESS"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 astounding display of exquisite jeweled ball gowns and other memorabilia. . . . You don't want to miss this."SOUTHERN LIVING"Arnaud's is the real deal. The loud, bright landmark will stuff you with velvety seafood gumbo, oysters Bienville (created here) and pommes souffle."John Mariani, ESQUIRE MAGAZINEWohl, Kit is the author of 'Arnaud's Restaurant Cookbook', published 2005 under ISBN 9781589803091 and ISBN 1589803094.
