Description
Antoine’s was established in the French Quarter in 1840. By using French and Creole cooking techniques, Antoine’s transformed multiethnic ingredients to create original dishes that defined the distinctive New Orleans style. This card promoted dozens of its specialties, such as huitres en coquiulle, Rockefeller, or oysters Rockefeller—its most famous culinary invention. Two dishes that reflect the times are huitres à la Taft and canapé Roosevelt.
