An Interesting And Varied Reveillon

Written by Mary Ann Fitzmorris December 18, 2019 07:14 in Reveillon 2019

Quietly tucked away Uptown by the river on Dante St, Brigtsen’s has been a solid hit with gourmets since the day it opened its doors. Frank Brigtsen, a protégé of Paul Prudhomme, turns out consistently excellent food, his charming wife Marna equally deft in the front of the house.


So it was not at all surprising that Brigtsen’s has one of the most interesting Reveillons this season, and also a lot of choices on the menu. The four courses are $58, with the first course made simple: Smoked Salmon on Rye with Horseradish Whipped Cream. 


Second course choices are:

Satsuma Salad with Spiced Pecans, Feta, Pickled Red Onions and Cane Vinaigrette

Filé Gumbo with Chicken and Andouille

Coquilles St. Jacques

BBQ Shrimp with Shrimp Calas


Third course (choice of:)

Roast Duck a l’Orange with Dirty Rice

Stuffed Flounder with Seafood Dressing and Lemon Mousselline

Pork Chop with Cornbread Dressing and Mayhaw Pepper Jelly Glaze

Vegetarian Stuffed Mirliton with Roasted Cauliflower, Eggplant, Coconut Garlic Ginger Sauce 


Desserts, choose from:

Sweet Potato Bread Pudding with Praline Sauce

Eggnog Crème Brûlée

Strawberry Shortcake

Pecan Pie with Caramel Sauce


Four Courses $58
