"Criollo at the Monteleone offers a special Mardi Gras lunch menu served from 11:30 a.m. to 2 p.m., with options like seafood gumbo, chicken comfit and mushroom crepes and a killer bacon cheeseburger on a brioche bun. Try to get a seat at the Carousel Bar, which stays open until midnight, although crowds are three deep on Mardi Gras day." - Beth D’Addono
"Criollo is a sleeper in the Monteleone, a spirited Creole spot with an inventive menu and solid service. The blue crab and corn beignets during jazz brunch are a super savory option, but there’s also a sweet option, served during breakfast or on the dessert menu, of French Market-style beignets with praline sauce and strawberries." - Beth D'Addono, Clair Lorell
"The Hotel Monteleone’s Criollo restaurant offers two different types of caviar with lunch, brunch, and dinner, kaluga and osetra. Both varieties are served with the fixings. Prices are $150 and $200, best paired with bottomless Veuve Clicquot for $95 at brunch." - Beth D’Addono
"Criollo, the best-kept secret restaurant at the Hotel Monteleone, offers both an enticing brunch menu and a chef’s special $22 turkey dinner until 3 p.m. November 23. Beyond eggs every which way, there’s a mighty fine burger and a bistro steak with handmade tagliatelle in a garlic cream sauce. Enjoy live Jazz in the main dining room." - Beth D'Addono
