Generations come and go, but Galatoire's on Bourbon Street, with its classic menu of trout meuniere, shrimp remoulade and stuffed eggplant, will never change. Now taking reservations - a plus if you're planning your dining spots ahead of time - Galatoire's is about as New Orleans as it gets. Locals are not only loyal to this bastion of Creole dining, they're loyal to their waiter, and if they're old enough, to their waiter's son. A few years back, Galatoire's added a steakhouse to its family of restaurants with the opening of Galatoire's 33 Bar & Steak next door to the original Galatoire's Restaurant on Bourbon St. If you only choose one French-Creole restaurant, make it this one.
