NEW ORLEANS – From festive Réveillon dinners to spirited cocktails and decadent desserts, the century-old French Quarter favorite Arnaud’s Restaurant is the place to gather with family and friends this season.
Beginning Dec. 1, Arnaud’s honors the city’s beloved holiday dining tradition with a three-course Réveillon menu. Guests can savor dishes like the Pan Seared Scallops with Sauce Persillade and matchstick potatoes; Beef Tenderloin with brioche and Potatoes Aligot; and Butternut Squash Risotto, just to name a few, all served in the elegant, holiday-adorned dining rooms that make Arnaud’s feel like home for the holidays.
At the French 75 Bar, Head Bartender Christoph Dornemann and the team are starting the season with a lineup of festive cocktails. From the Père Noël, a tribute to the French Santa Claus and an ideal slow sipper for cool winter nights, to the Kapu Kapu, a vibrant rum punch that embodies island warmth, each is crafted with the artistry and finesse that have earned the bar national acclaim.
To end the evening on a sweet note, Pastry Chef Alyx Abreu, star of the Food Network’s Holiday Baking Championship Season 12 (which debuted Nov. 3 at 7 p.m. Central) has created special holiday desserts that will add extra sparkle to the season, including the Black Forest Mille Feuille featuring chocolate crémeux, tart cherry jam, Luxardo cherries, and puff pastry.
“The holidays are all about coming together with the people you love, sharing good food, and making memories that last a lifetime,” said Katy Casbarian, co-owner of Arnaud’s Restaurant. “At Arnaud’s, we’re proud to keep the spirit of Réveillon alive and give our guests a warm, festive experience they won’t forget.”
Arnaud’s Réveillon menu will be available from Dec. 1-23 for $70 per person (excluding tax and gratuity). For reservations, gift cards, Arnaud’s products, or more information, visit www.arnaudsrestaurant.com or call (504) 523-5433.
