Tujague's

"This legendary New Orleans restaurant is known for a number of iconic New Orleans items — the Grasshopper cocktail, an old-school boiled brisket, and the shrimp remoulade on fried green tomato. Galatoire’s has a different, but equally iconic version. Catch the brisket, a customer favorite and a childhood memory for many, on special menus around the holidays." - Clair Lorell, Eater Staff

"Tujague’s has been serving the flavors of old New Orleans for more than 160 years, making it the second oldest restaurant in town (Antoine’s takes the first spot). For NYE, there’s a winner of a $95 four-course menu from chef Meg Gray including choices like mushroom crepes with goat cheese, seafood gumbo with popcorn rice and pan roasted pompano with crab. Festive location in the heart of the French Quarter. Reserve the last seating and watch the fireworks from Tujague’s balcony." - Beth D'Addono, Clair Lorell

"Visit the country’s third-oldest restaurant in its new home (sadly, its iconic stand-up bar didn’t make the move) where the Grasshopper, the frothy and minty iconic after-dinner drink, was invented way back in the days when locals and politicians played poker dice at this Decatur Street landmark." - Eater Staff

"Celebrate Thanksgiving at Tujague’s, the birthplace of the Grasshopper cocktail. A three-course menu for $65 per person will be available on Thursday, November 28 from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. From a traditional turkey dinner with oyster dressing and giblet gravy to gulf fish amandine and braised short rib, the menu dishes tons of variety." - Beth D'Addono

"Executive chef Meg Gray is upping the game at Tujague’s, a gold standard on Decatur Street for more than 160 years. She brings an ingredient-driven passion for the classics to the table, a respect she honed while working under the newly retired chef Gus Martin. Her shrimp and grits are a case in point, buttery barbecue shrimp spiked with Abita Amber beer ladled over Pepper Jack cheese grits. A keeper." - Beth D'Addono
