The Bombay Club THE BOMBAY CLUB
830 Conti Street
New Orleans, Louisiana 70112

The Bombay Club is exactly the sort of place that many people dream of enjoying in New Orleans but cannot seem to find. It's decadent, but tasteful—delicious, but not stuffy—filled with great music, but never deafening. The menu features Nouveau Creole food and martini list contains over 100 different specialty martinis, each stirred—not shaken—to perfection by veteran bartenders.

Jackets for gentlemen preferred.
Dress casual accepted.


Reservations are advised.

Galatoire's GALATOIRE'S
209 Bourbon Street
New Orleans, LA
(504)861-0886
http://www.galatoires.com
Galatoire's has always epitomized the old-style French-Creole bistro. Many of the recipes date to 1905. Fried oysters and bacon en brochette are worth every calorie, and the brick-red rémoulade sauce sets a high standard. Other winners include veal chops in béarnaise sauce, and seafood-stuffed eggplant. The setting downstairs is a single, narrow dining room lit with glistening brass chandeliers; bentwood chairs and white-cloth tables add to its timelessness. You may reserve a table in the renovated upstairs rooms, though the action is on the first floor, where partying regulars inhibit conversation but add good people-watching entertainment value.

Jackets are required for gentlemen during dinner and all day Sunday.
Galatoire’s now accepts reservations for dining in the recently remodeled second floor dining room, which is all non-smoking. Downstairs, the restaurant remains first come, first serve.

Cajun-Creole fare worthy of founding chef Paul Prudhomme's stamp: intensely seasoned, roux-thickened gumbos, super-rich sauces, the definitive blackened fish and beef dishes, country-style roasted duck with rice dressing, expertly fried crawfish tails, and such desserts as a classic bread pudding and a sweet potato-pecan pie, with a big dollop of Chantilly cream are some of the favorites here. The two floors are spiffily lined with bare brick and framed wall art and gleaming wood floors. The balcony and enclosed patio can be delightful in good weather.
