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
